When a modern princess falls in love with her bodyguard, a royal fairy tale turns dangerous.ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a beautiful princess. Flicka von Hannover lived an enchanted life. She jetted around Europe staging charity events with friends, had married a handsome prince in the most spectacular royal wedding of the 21st century, and should have lived happily ever after.But then she found … after.
But then she found the handsome prince in bed with a duchess. And then a coffee shop barista. And then her own goddamn secretary.
Finally, the prince did the unthinkable, and the beautiful princess ran away.
The prince didn’t want to let her go. He couldn’t take his throne without her and sent henchmen to take her back to the castle. Her worried royal brother sent people to look for her, too.
The prince threatened her. He said that if the princess contacted her brother or any of her friends for help, he would kill her brother and her brother’s new, pregnant wife.
So the princess ran to the only person she could trust, a man who was frankly not a handsome prince.
Dieter Schwarz had been Flicka’s bodyguard for years. He had protected her from assassins, kidnappers, and high school dates who got too handsy after a few drinks. He was a sharp-witted, sharp-jawed, hard-muscled former Swiss Special Forces operator who had started his own private security firm, Rogue Security, and had no past that he spoke of.
No one knew that he had been her first lover and broken her heart, but he’s the only one she can trust now.

The author is all over the place. I feel like the whole thing is not cohesive.
I didn’t enjoy this book. It was repetitive and I didn’t feel any connection with the characters.
I just couldn’t feel these characters. I’m an avid reader. But even the cliffhanger didn’t leave me feeling a need to continue with this story.
It had been a while since I’d last read a book from Blair Babylon and I had forgotten just how good she is. The tension, the pacing, the character development, the turns of phrase, the descriptors, all of it blend together perfectly to create a masterpiece. To be honest, I find myself at a loss for words. I feel like any words I might use would pale in comparison to the words used in this book. The only thing I want to do right now is read the next book in the series. And that’s exactly what I plan to do.
I recommend any all books Blair but this is the new series and truly fabulous!
I recommend this book as a FABULOUS beach / summer read – but be forewarned, its parts, as well as a series. You’ll love them ALL but just might miss your vacation because your nose is stuck in the books 😉
So freaking awesome. Finally with the dieter and flicka love!
Perfect Beach read for the summer if you want a wild ride romance.
One of my favorite supporting characters is finally the leading man in this page-turning romance. He’s been her bodyguard for years, wanted her for years, and now has to watch her marry a not-so-charming Prince. Get this book for some great beach reading!
A great beach read! Blair writes such an amazingly smart story I couldn’t put this book down! I love Flicka and it is awsome to read of a strong smart woman working to change the world!!
