Book Review: The Bridesmaid’s Royal Bodyguard by Liz Fielding

Short, sweet and to the point, “The Bridesmaid’s Royal Bodyguard” is a Cinderella story with a twist. There was no Prince Charming except for a dour Count. And though Cinderella still scrubbed and cleaned floors, she was her own fairy godmother! Oh, there were no glass slippers either, but stilettos did the trick. How’s that for a 21st century retelling of the lovable fairytale?

“The Bridesmaid’s Royal Bodyguard” is Rated T for Teens. There are no sex scenes in this book though it was implied it happened.

Description

After being sacked from her job on the gossip magazine Celebrity, Ally Parker is forced to return home to Combe St. Philip with her tail between her legs. She is given a fresh start when her childhood friend, Hope, asks her to work PR for Hope’s marriage to Prince Jonas of San Michele.

When Count Fredrik Jensson, head of security for the royal family, arrives to check out the village, he makes it clear that her past employment makes her unfit for the role. The fact that there’s a sizzle between them from the moment they meet only makes everything worse.

Forced together on a trip to San Michele for the official announcement of the wedding, their sizzle flares into an inferno. However, their night of passion sours when he sees her with her ex-boss. Believing that Ally is about to buy back her job with wedding secrets, Fredrik turns back to ice. What will it take to see the person she truly is and a thaw to set in?
