The Prince’s Forbidden Bodyguard by Leslie McAdam

As the crown prince of Sweden, I need a security detail, especially while traveling in a foreign country. What I don’t need are feelings for my hot, tattooed bodyguard, Logan. My rule, which I’ve followed for the past two years, is to ignore him. I never let on how he affects me, and I keep him at arm’s length.

After all, I’m straight.

Ish.

But on the Sunshine Coast, I get up close and personal with one of Australia’s dangerous animals, and Logan rescues me. In the aftermath of that experience, I’m exhausted and my barriers are down, and there he is, as always, taking care of me and seeing to my needs.

Maybe I’ve been wrong to distance myself from him. Maybe here, Down Under, I can make an exception to my rule.

The Prince’s Forbidden Bodyguard is a steamy 10k word short story originally published in the Southern Skies anthology. It’s about the brother of Prince Jasper from Off Track.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Prince Erik has a problem. He has had a crush on his bodyguard for the last two years and the crush only keeps getting worse. There are a million reasons why can’t and shouldn’t act on it. But it doesn’t mean his crush lessens. He’s done his best in the last two years to keep it to himself and it helps to see that he can’t read Logan that well either thanks to his stoic expressions. But when Erik finds himself in a bit of trouble and Logan is there to rescue him. Well, his walls are down and in doing so, he learns that he isn’t the only one who has been shoving his feelings down. Turns out Logan has been doing the same and his control is about to snap. This was a really cute short story! I so wish it was a full novel. Logan and Eric have some great chemistry and I would love to see their story continued. It was nice seeing characters from Off Track and being back in that world a bit. If you are lookign for short, sweet, and steamy, definitely check this story out!
