I joined Jameson Force Security for three reasons: the missions, the danger, and the money. I definitely didn’t join the team to be an overpriced babysitter for a spoiled princess. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you Jackson Gale is an adventurer through and through. Yet here I am, halfway across the world, watching over Princess Camille of the House Winterbourne. Even her name sounds stuck up.

After arriving in Bretaria, I realize that Princess Camille is nothing that I expected. Beautiful, smart, and sophisticated, Camille is the very picture of elegance and grace. But under her perfect façade, she is funny, adventurous, sexy as hell, and impossible to resist. And that is a dangerous combination.

The closer Camille and I become, the more obvious it is that while she and I are compatible in many ways, our destinies are not. She has a duty to the monarchy, and I’m just an average American who’s fallen for a princess. Everyone says we can’t be together, but how does one walk away from the other half of their heart?

Jackson Gale is an ex-Navy Seal serious about his job at Jameson Security. He's cool, confident, controlled, intense, and guards his heart. He is not at all thrilled at his newest assignment of babysitting a Princess while she tours in the US. He expects her to be spoiled and bratty.

Princess Camille Winterbourne is next in line for the throne of Bretaria and her family is wealthy beyond all measures due to the ruby mines in their sovereign city-state. And due to some ascension rules, she is currently a hot target for kidnapping or assassination. She is smart, honest, humble, caring, responsible, and elegant. But she is also strong-willed, bold, and has a zest for life. Her life is planned already and she must find a suitable suitor when she returns. 

He tries to keep things professional but she pushes boundaries. These two spark and develop an understanding that leads to a forbidden, secret affair that is only supposed to last during the trip. No strings. No attachments. No hope of more. But as threats ramp up, duties shift, and eventually everything is going to be out in the open. Even if Jameson and the Bretarian team can keep the family safe, eventually Jackson and Camille will have to return to their real lives where their futures and social stations do not match at all. 

This is a sexy, forbidden, bodyguard and princess romance with building tension and some mystery and suspense. Jackson and Camille are likable and have great chemistry and an understanding of each other that they never expected. My main issue with this installment was that there was a lot of time on the build-up and impossibility of the situation, and then the end and resolution seemed to occur fairly fast. But I enjoy this series and getting glimpses of some of the other characters and am looking forward to more. 
Jackson Gale joined Jameson Force Security to continue his desire to protect while also being able to call more of his own shots than during his time with the Navy. He certainly didn’t make the shift in order to play babysitter to spoiled princesses, but that is just what he thinks his next assignment is going to turn into.

Camille Winterbourne is the heir apparent to the crown of Bretaria and as she approaches her 25th birthday, new threats emerge causing her father to hire outside help for her protection. She may be sheltered but she is also compassionate and loyal to her people and duties. Her trip to a cousin’s wedding and a tour of America has been a long awaited trip to see more of the world.

It was supposed to be a working relationship, and Jackson has never crossed that line with any of his previous principals. As they get to know each other through the course of their travels, they discover they have more in common than they imagined and are more compatible than just professionally.

I loved watching these two as they built their friendship and then explored more. But I was also frustrated by the determination that nothing could happen between them because of the royal tradition.

The backdrop of the threat to her life adds an air of drama to the storyline (and a reason for their close proximity), but often felt like an afterthought because most of the intelligence for this particular mission wasn’t coming from Jameson Force themselves, but through the Bretarian security officials. While it is in the background, it also felt like some of the conflicts resolved themselves very quickly for as much attention as the problems were granted throughout the storyline.

This was a fun return to the Jameson Force world. There isn’t a lot of interaction from the team, simply because Jackson is on location with Camille through most of the story, so this book stands alone very nicely for those who may be new to the series.
