Kitty's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 A love story ... just what I needed. As all hell breaks lose in our world, I found the most beautiful way to escape. I read a book. But, not just any book. A book about love - losing and finding it only to lose it again. Sound depressing? A little bit. But, remember ... only HEA's here. And, what a beautiful one Jeannie Moon wrote for His Forbidden Princess. 
 After finding out the truth about his Sofia, Ian moves on with his life ... not with another woman, because there will be no other than her, but by throwing himself into his chosen profession. An FBI Special Agent. He's always kept an eye on Sofia, knew of the threats against her family and country and knew that, no matter what, he would protect her. From afar. She could never know how much breaking her heart broke his as well. But, circumstances, threats and a special request has secluded them at his families house on an island. He has to stay professional, he has to separate his heart from his head, he cannot give in to his obsession to hold her, with comforting her, loving her, again. 
 Sofia cannot move on with her life. It doesn't matter that she is next in line to the throne after her brother's murder. It doesn't matter that she is being pursued by Princes, Counts. Her heart beats for the one person that broke it 8 years ago. Ian Stuart. Even being surrounded by bodyguards, the FBI, she's still not safe and finds out just how big a threat the insurgents are as she is whisked out of her hotel into a waiting car, taken into protective custody by none other than the man that holds her heart, has been the bane of her existence and that she has never fallen out of love with. 
 Duty, obligations, a country in need of strong leadership ... all of this is against them. But, when the threats literally knock on their door, as a storm brews outside, Ian can do nothing but give his Princess what she needs the most. Love. 
 I have so enjoyed this series. No, it's not filled with explicit sex but with hope, love, understanding, forgiveness. Something we are all sadly lacking these days. But, Jeannie Moon took what could have been a tragic love story and, with her writing style, made it one of my favorites in the Royal Holiday series. I loved Ian with his strong, protective personality and Sofia with her sense of obligation. But, it was the love that I loved the most. How two people could go on with their lives, face the dangers and tragedies that life has thrown at them and then come out in the end stronger and more sure of their place in the world, gave me hope. Put a smile on my face. Brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy!
