3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for an afternoon of escape., January 29, 2007
This review is from: The Princess's Bodyguard : The Protectors (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1177) (Paperback)
I read books to go get lost in them and although this book is not one I would have choosen in a book store ( my Mom gave it to me) I did get into it. The story is good and I liked the characters what do I care if the places the Author used are made up, I knew when I starting reading the book it was FICTION. Good for getting wrapped up in others romance for a lazy Sunday.

Less than okay "cinderfeller" story, August 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Princess's Bodyguard : The Protectors (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1177) (Paperback)
I try to read all "bodyguard" romances and as far as they go, this was not a very good one. Even within the confines of these necessarily short romance books, authors can create good, memorable characters and write realistic, witty dialogue and good plots. This story, about a princess in a fictional country who runs away to avoid marrying an undesirable man whom she has to prove is a traitor to her country, had none of these positive things. I thought her bodyguard came off all right, but the princess herself sounded fake and stiff whenever she talked. I didn't particularly like her and that's not good when she's the lead character. It was kind of nice that she and her bodyguard got married for convenience and then fell in love for real (I like romance like that) but the whole story seemed like a fake prop for something (what, the rather explicit and not very romantic love scenes)? Just because I'm reading a formula romance doesn't mean I don't want a good story and good characters. I'll be donating this one to the library instead of keeping it.

From Back Cover, October 21, 2005
This review is from: The Princess's Bodyguard : The Protectors (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1177) (Paperback)
This arrogant, ill-mannered American was hardly the sort of man Princess Adele of Orlantha was used to encountering in her world of wealth and privilege. And yet Matt O'Brien was all that stood between her and the deadly conspiracy that threatened everything she held dear.
Her only hope was a marriage - in name only - to her self-appointed "protector." But to be so very... intimate with this infuriating yet dangerously compelling man was almost more than she could bear - because their masquerade was turning into a passion that was all too real.
13th in The Protector's series
