What a great start to a series. It has been nonstop action from the beginning. I'm almost at the end and it hasn't let up. A very nice change of pace for Love Inspired Suspense. Can't wait to read book number two.

My Comments
What a great book! Princess Isabelle is on her way to a state dinner when her motorcade is attacked! She doesnt trust her new bodyguard, Levi, but she will find out that without his protection shes in even more danger. Did her family survive the ambush? Levi isnt supposed to be a bodyguard, but he wants to prove himself worthy of taking over the business when his father retires so he just needs to complete this one mission keeping the princess safe. Will he be able to keep his feelings objective and keep the princess alive?

This was a very fast read and quite enjoyable! Levi and the princess come across SEVERAL problems on the run, they have no idea who to trust, and Isabelle needs to find out if the rest of her family survived the ambush.the alternative just cant be possible. Both main characters pray constantly, help each other, and learn who among them is a traitor and who is really loyal. I really had no idea how the end would play out either! What a great book and the start to a great series!

Princess in Peril by Rachelle McCalla
Reclaiming the Crown Series Book 1
This is one of those series where you will be biting your nails for the next three books to come out. And if you did not have to hold the book to read you might become a nail biter in this fantastic suspense story. I highly recommend reading the free book, Royal Peril on the harlequin site first as the short prequel definitely leads the way into this story.

Princess Isabelle does not trust her new bodyguard. Albert had been with her for four years and now suddenly Levi Granaldo is there. He always wears mirrored sunglasses, even indoors, and he is too good looking. Suddenly their motorcade is under attack and when Levi wants her to leave the bullet proof limo she really has to wonder what he's up to. With no choice she has to follow his lead and go into the catacombs under Lydia. After more attacks and not being able to trust anyone, Isabelle finally has to trust Levi to get her out of her country. She has a royal duty to stay safe and at this point she does not know if her parents or brother and sister survived the ambush, if not...she will soon be queen.

Levi needed to succeed at protecting the Princess. His father would be retiring as President of Sanctuary International, a Christian relief organization to help refugees find asylum, and even though his father favored his young brother, Joe, Levi was hoping his father would entrust him with the position. He needed to keep his focus on protecting Isabelle and not focus on how beautiful she is, he had always thought so but now that he was ending up in such close situations with her, it was harder to remember that she was not for him. She was a princess, he was a lawyer.

They have an unknown enemies, cannot trust anyone, and they don't know if any of the royal family has survived. Parliament wants to name the next ruler before finding out if King Philip is still alive and Levi and Isabelle are fighting to stay alive while they fight an attraction they each feel towards the other. Looking forward to the next books to find out what happened with the rest of the royal family.
