Review: Seducing the Princess by Diane Alberts (Shillings Agency #3)


Being assigned to be the bodyguard of a royal princess was something former Marine Gordon Waybrook was not exactly looking forward to. He envisioned her as some spoiled and overly pampered diva with a tiara, and he's more than prepared to dislike her. Then he meets Isabelle VanGuard in person and sees a side to her that's contrary to the picture in his head. But as refreshing his discovery may be, Isabelle slips into the role of princess too often, mainly because that's how it has to be. She's been trained all her life to act, speak, and think a certain way, including putting what's best for her country ahead of her own needs and wants. So, while she may not be thrilled over the idea of marrying a prince that she isn't in love with, she'll do what she has to. But one night with Gordon changes things. He makes her feel more than she's ever felt with anyone else before, and they quickly realize that one night isn't enough for either of them. A princess falling for her hot bodyguard is the stuff fairy tales are made of...but Isabelle's life is no fairy tale.

Seducing the Princess is the third book in the contemporary romance series from bestselling author Diane Alberts entitled Shillings Agency. Royalty falling for a commoner can no longer be consider fairy tales since it's happened quite a number of times in real life already, but when that commoner just happens to be a foreign princess's American bodyguard, then things definitely begin to become interesting. Gordon Waybrook and Isabelle VanGuard hit it off, but there are two sides to Isabelle--the princess who puts duty ahead of all else and the woman who wants to explore what being with someone like Gordon could be like. With Isabelle being the actual future monarch of her nation, the odds are definitely far more stacked against the two of them, but I loved how Gordon wanted Isabelle to simply allow herself to feel and experience things and make her own choices, without having everyone else dictate upon her. Seducing the Princess was a modern day fairy tale with one hearty helping of naughtiness front and center. Four stars! ♥

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
