My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Prince Patrick is trying to balance what he wants with what he can have but the only time he can be himself is when he is behind closed doors with his family or at home alone. With the extended family gunning for those of a different sexual orientation, he asks his bodyguard to train him for the inevitable assassination attempt. Kieren has been Patrick's bodyguard for years and has huge admiration for everything he has to put up with and is now training him to protect himself and his family. It breaks his heart to have to do that for him but he will do everything to keep Patrick safe even if it is giving up his own life. When a particularly heavy training session brings forth Patrick’s emotions, Kieren struggles to contain his own until Patrick kisses him - then all bets are off.
I loved this story with the tortured Patrick and Kieren who wanted each other but knew that they could do nothing about it until they reached the point of no return. I just loved their passion and the way that they each had their own artistic outlet but that their real outlet was their devotion to each other and the way that they would do anything to protect each other. I loved that they made great progress with the plot against the central family due to their sexual preferences and it was a delight to see that Kieren really came into his own with his insights and hunches. Contains mature content in this MM book.
