The Royals of Monterra: The Royal Guard (Kindle Worlds Novella) by Cindy M Hogan

Fiercely independent and exceptional, Marisa Donati, a guard for the Monterran monarchy, wants nothing more than to become a member of the personal guard, an elect team of escorts that protects the royal family. Unfortunately, the handsome captain of the guard, Christian Di Stefano, blocks her attempts at every turn. 

Determined to get the position she knows she deserves, she works harder than ever until she is presented with the opportunity to reveal a dangerous secret about Christian which only ends up putting both of them in danger—along with the Monterran monarchy Marisa has worked so hard to protect. 

Desperate to set things right, Marisa must face her growing feelings for Christian while working with him and an elite black ops group to find the real enemy of the monarchy and save the country from a war that will most definitely break out if she doesn’t. 

Suspenseful, with the right amount of romance, and awash with action and adventure, The Royal Guard will send you on a thrill ride that will be hard to forget.

My reviews: The Royals of Monterra: The Royal Guard (Kindle Worlds Novella)  by Cindy M Hogan

4 stars

I am not sure if this fits in a different series or if the Kindle Worlds is a Christy world.  Christy and friends show up and are minor characters.  I have not heard of The Royals of Monterra before. 

 Now I have read Royal Date by Sariah  Wilson.  Which is the book for the setting for the kindle worlds The Royals of Monterra.

 Marisa Donati is a royal guard of Monterra.  In fact she is the first woman to be a royal guard.  She is good and leads in numbers but is a young guard who does not really fit in.  She wants a promotion to the protection of the Royal family and not just a guard on the woman's quarters.

Christian Di Stefano is Captain of the Royal Guard.  He does not think Marisa is ready for a promotion.  Marisa is given information that she can try and blackmail the Captain to promote her.

This has lots of action, treachery, honor and romance.  It is a clean read. Strong female characters.  It is a good fast read.

I bought this on Amazon because I like Cindy M. Hogan books that I have read.  I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
