Book Synopsis
The ink on her diploma is barely dry, but Princess Victoria of Sereno is ready to tackle her first project as CEO of the new family business venture, The Royal Sands Resort. Only a month remains until their distinguished guests arrive for her sister Cassie’s coronation, and Victoria has her work cut out for her. Busy with preparations, she assumes that all eyes are on her sister. It’s an assumption that nearly kills her . . .
CIA operative Alan Neisler and his canine partner have been tasked with protecting the royal family of Sereno in the days leading up to the coronation. The job seems straightforward—until he finds himself diffusing a bomb the first day he’s on duty. When a second device is found at the family’s beach resort, Alan’s prime objective shifts to protecting Princess Victoria. As Victoria learns to trust Alan with her safety, sparks fly with the man who saves her life. Twice. But if they have any hope of making plans for a happily ever after, Alan and Victoria must outwit a deadly adversary who will stop at nothing to destroy the monarchy.

My Review
The Royals Series has been a favorite of mine for many years, so I was thrilled to learn that Book 5 was on its way. This novel centers around Princess Victoria of Sereno and CIA agent Alan Neisler. Victoria returns to Sereno after completing her graduate studies, stepping into the role of CEO for the family’s new resort. Alan, accompanied by his K-9 partner Max, is brought in to manage security for the upcoming Royal Coronation of the new Queen.
The story is filled with tension, including bomb threats and lives at risk, along with mysterious blackmailers. Alan's intelligence and bravery shine through, particularly in his interactions with Max, the bomb-sniffing dog, and Victoria's new puppy, Shadow. It’s a delight to see familiar characters return from earlier books, especially the close-knit relationship among the royal sisters. Abramson masterfully weaves a gripping mystery around the threats, keeping readers guessing until nearly the end.
The romance between Victoria and Alan feels genuine and relatable as they already had a connection from previous stories. Their relationship is heartwarming, and Alan is immensely supportive of Victoria. Royal Duty kept me hooked late into the night. Abramson’s writing is so engaging that it’s tough to put the books down. With one royal sister still single, I'm hopeful for another book in the series.
