I've read every book in Lucy Monroe's Royal Bride series and they only get better and better and more interesting. In Forbidden: The Billionaire's Virgin Princess Sebastian Hawk and Lina Marwan are equally matched in sensuality, spirit and in their attraction for each other. In each chapter I couldn't wait to see if Lina was going to out-smart Hawk as he was hired to be her bodyguard to watch over her and to also watch over her security team her family had hired. As a small child, Lina was sent away from her home to live in the US with her aunt and uncle. She's never felt a part of her family; she's felt neglected, unwanted with the exception of the care her US relatives have given her and from time to time, her brother who infrequently. She's been sheltered, watched over like a hawk and now she wants to spread her wings. However, the only way she can do that is to outsmart her security team and her new bodyguard Hawk has figured her out! Hawk is one hot man! He's exceptional at his job, owns his own security company, is well respected in the industry and wants no part of a relationship. He's learned from the women in his life not to trust and to keep his relationships short and sweet. Now he's been hired by the Sheik to watch over his daughter who's attending college so he makes sure he literally bumps into her, sparks fly between them.....it's immediate attraction for both of them, Lina so innocent and Hawk so "experienced" and it's a battle of wills, lust and a love story you're not going to want to miss! Throughout the entire book I was rooting for them and you will as well because their attraction is so immediate and powerful. Hawk is torn every step of the way; he fights his attraction for Lina and in the end it's an emotional breakup and farewell. What was incredible to read was Lina's journey in self discovery, how she grew emotionally and outsmarted them all! This author has a gift for drawing her readers into the story and this book is no exception. In the end, let's just say, their reunion years later is emotional and tender as only Lucy Monroe can portray and this book is a love story at it's best! Cheers to Lucy and her Royal Brides!
