Synopsis

Who says love has to be gentle?
A spoiled prince on his first overseas tour is torn between resenting his hot bodyguard—and yearning for him.

Prince Jordan is twenty years old, rich, and finally seeing the world. The last thing he needs is a babysitter. Especially one as rigid as Stuart Whitmore, an older, muscular man who makes it clear from their first meeting that there will be consequences if Jordan misbehaves.
No one has ever laid a hand on Jordan his whole life, but for the first time he’s contemplating the possibility—and trying to figure out which buttons to push to achieve his goal. Because there’s something behind Stuart’s eyes that tells him he feels the same magnetic pull that Jordan does.

Stuart doesn’t give a damn that Jordan is a prince—he’s still the most entitled brat he’s ever laid eyes on. He’s also a temptation, igniting desires Stuart had thought long since extinguished. The prince needs a firm hand and Stuart is just the man to provide it, but there’s a vulnerability to Jordan that calls to him.
A call that proves too difficult to ignore.
What happens when discipline crosses the line into intense heat?
And what are the ramifications when the connection becomes so much more than just physical…
For both of them?

Romantic and a bit kinky!

Princely Submission was such a good read and isn’t that cover hot! I love bodyguard stories; add in the royalty factor and forced proximity and I was over-the-moon for this book.

It’s not a complicated or angsty story, it was just a great, easy to read one about a bratty prince with submissive tendencies, and an older bodyguard “sir” who’s happy to teach him how to behave.

Prince Jordan has led a very sheltered life so when he gets the chance to leave his country and go to the US with his parents, he wants to spread his wings and experience many “firsts.” Jordan tries to give his bodyguard the slip every chance he gets but Stuart is determined to keep him in line and threatens to spank him if he misbehaves.

The more time they spend together the more difficulty Stuart has resisting Jordan’s blatant flirting. Once Jordan finds out that Stuart is gay all bets are off and he amps up the flirting. During the month-long trip the two become closer and Jordan begins to settle down and act in a more mature manner.

If it weren’t for the smoking hot scenes, I would describe this book as a very sweet story. Well, it really is a sweet story with a sexy side of heat. Jordan’s parents are super accepting of his sexuality and want to make things in their country better for LGTBQI citizens; I found this very refreshing.

The epilogue, set two years after the end of the main story, was like the perfect topping on an ice cream sundae. I love it when an author gives readers a glimpse of their character’s lives in the future like this one does.
