Book Summary
Within a fairy-tale palace overlooking the azure waters of the Mediterranean, Princess Cassandra of Sereno leads a charmed life—until that life is nearly cut short in an assassination attempt. Desperate to protect his daughter, the king sends the princess to safety in the one place he trusts: the neighboring country of Meridia. There, Cassie’s life is placed in the hands of a man who possesses the skills to protect her. CIA agent Levi Marin has years of experience pretending to be someone he’s not, but posing as the boyfriend of a real-life princess is new, even to him.
With the CIA and Interpol hot on the trail of the assassin, Levi and Cassie do their best to blend in in Meridia and to remain professional amid their charade. Yet despite their best efforts, the charade begins to feel all too real. Their chemistry is undeniable, but forgetting the dangerous reality of their situation could prove a deadly mistake. Cassie’s would-be killer is still at large, and her search for answers is leading her ever closer to a shocking revelation that will rock the monarchy of Sereno to its core.

My Review
I literally love everything Traci Hunter Abramson has written. She has written many different series and Royal Heir is book 4 in "The Royals". It's been a few years since book 3 was released, so I was very thrilled when I knew this book was coming out. 

I love reading books about royalty and this series is about contemporary royalty. What little girl doesn't dream at one time or another of being a princess? In Royal Heir, the story revolves around Princess Cassandra of Sereno. Someday she will be the Queen of her country, but after an assassination attempt, her father King Alejandro sends her away to a neighboring country for protection. There Cassandra meets  CIA agent Levi Marin. 

I really loved how Cassandra, or Cassie as Levi calls her, pretended to be Levi's girlfriend as she hides out in Meridia. Levi's goal is to try and find out who wants Cassie dead while trying to protect his own heart. Cassie tries to pretend but soon sees that she's falling in love with Levi, a commoner. Even though the reader can see the writing on the wall, it's fun to see how Cassie and Levi navigate these dangerous waters and work hard at keeping Cassie and her family safe. 

I love how the beautiful Mediterranean is detailed so breathtakingly. You feel like you are there walking the sandy beaches and smelling the salty ocean water. The one thing that isn't totally clear is why the unrest in Serano is happening and how it will all fall out. Royal Heir is truly a mix of intense action, forbidden romance, and an exciting culmination that you might not see coming. This clean romantic suspense will make a good read for upper teens and adults. It can be read as a stand-alone, but as always I recommend you read books 1-3 in the series first.
