      Guarding the Princess by Loreth Anne White 4 STARSGuarding the Princess is book 4 in the Sahara Kings series. It is also one of the first books with the new cover and longer books in Harlequin Romantic Suspense line.Personally I like the new cover design. They also said thier would be more action,suspense and romance and Guarding the Princess delivers as promised.Princess Dalilah Al Arif of Al Na'Jar is engaged to Sheik Haroun Hassan of Sa'ud. They had just announced they will be wed in 19 months. Though they have been promised to each other when she was 5 by her father the King.Dalilah is in Zimbabwe right now staying at a lodge near Victoria Falls. Tomorrow the delegates from the different countries will sign a deal and part of the deal will be ClearWater for this area. She has been working for 4 years to get ClearWater access inZimbabwe. This will be her last deal working for the charity ClearWater a nonprofit agency. She will also have to leave Manhattan and her foreign-investnent consulting job.Amal Ghaffar is a merc. he has only one arm the other was shot off by Dalilah's family. They also killed his father too. He wants revenge and offers a million dollar bounty for her head or 4 million alive so he can kill her. He is already in Africa when he gets the news she is close by. Amal and his father were the ones that killed her parents and a brother.Brandt Stryker is now a farmer in Botswana and some times pilot. He was also a merc. but one who chose who to work for. Omar Dalilah brother had word that Amal was offering a bounty on her and got Brandt to promise to get her out.Brandt got thier durning dinner and got a bad feeling and watched the Princess when a group attacked the party shooting everyone. Dalilah was under the table trying to stop the bleeding on the guy next to her. She tried to fight Brandt and he had to knock her out to get her away fast.This was supposed to be a quick job get in and fly her out till her brother can arrange to get her back home. Things don't work as planned.Guarding the Princess is full of wonders of Africa wildlife, and scenery. Also about the some of the different people thier. Its jammed back action as they are running for thier lives. It's about survival and sometimes you have to go against your promises to yourself to survive and help others to survive.Thier was a love scene that I skipped over.I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review from Netgalley.12/18/2012 PUB Harlequin Imprint Harlequin Romantic Suspense 288 pages.

      *I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*Brandt was retired, but he accepted one last job to pay a favor: protect princess Dalilah from the man who wants to kill her. Only Brandt didn't get to her on time and ended up having to “kidnapp” her in order to save her. And they're both on the run for their lives, with no one else to help them.Dalilah was, in a way, at peace with her destiny. Promised to a sheik, she knows she'll have to give up her carreer and the life she's built in the name of duty. But now her life is in danger and the only person who can help her is a condescending brute. Who also happens to be very manly and atractive. And he awakens feelings in Dalilah no man had ever done. And he makes her question her future.What began as an easy and quick assignment ends up becoming the biggest challenge of Brandt's life. Because Dalilah doesn't fit his stereotype of a princess. She's strong, determinate, brave and independent. And absurdly beautiful and atractive.Brandt can't afford to lose his focus on the mission, at the risk of failing and being unable to protect Dalilah, but the more time he spends with her, the harder it gets to be professional. And Dalilah can't afford to fall in love, since she's engaged to be married.It's a classic story of opposites atracting, a contemporary love story featuring an arranged marriage. Even though it's normal in this kind of stories, I thought love was too sudden between the characters. This is the fourth book in a series, and the previous books feature Dalilah's brothers (of which we have a very small glimpse) as protagonists. Even though it would have been interesting to know the background (particularly cause I got the feeling the villan has made an appearance before), the book can be read as a standalone. And speaking of the villan, although I appreciated the symbolism of his demise, it left me with a bittersweet feeling.

      Courtesy of Harlequin through Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.I think I pretty much devoured this book in a few short days. Not only was it entertaining, but it was filled with a wild adventure in the heart of Africa. The characters were also something that I was drawn too, because the Princess, or Dalilah was a pleasant surprise. She was strong, independent and a character with heartwarming beliefs. When Dalilah Al Arif goes to Africa on a mission to provide ClearWater to small villages, the last thing she expected was for her mission to go downhill when a long family rival – who she believed to be dead – takes down the people she came to work with. Brandt is on his own mission given by Dalilah's brother to bring the Princess back safely to his farm, so her brother can collect her without having any harm come to her.Of course the two are on the run from a man that wants to kill her, and as they scale the African terrain and try to avoid danger – they encounter that being alone together is just as dangerous. Especially since Dalilah is promised to another man through a contract her father set up when she was a little girl. Soon the smoldering heat of the sun isn't the only thing that heats up and sizzles.I truly enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters. The fact that Dalilah has a warm and caring heart really had me drawn to her. I felt slightly for her because she was engaged to a man she wasn't really in loved with and in turn had to stay pure for him. I also really like Brandt because he was such a tortured soul, with a past that carried a lot of baggage. Guarding the Princess is filled with excitement, an adventure that was new to me, fun and an emotional roller coaster.
