Royal Target by Traci Hunter Abramson

A CIA operative, Janessa Roger specializes in linguistics, who sometimes finds a little excitement. While at a Brazillian state reception, she is suddenly requested to act as additional security detail for the royal family of Meridia, namely, Prince Garrett Fortier. He finds it quite humorous that a tiny woman like Janessa is his "body gaurd". But, Janessa and Garrett make a connection that neither expects, and when Janessa is sent home because of her religious beliefs, she is suddenly available to act as Garrett's fiance and lead the CIA's security detail to protect the royal family from what appears to be terrorist attacks associated with the possibility of the U.S. building a naval base in Meridia. Cute describes this fairly predictable book. The characters have just enough spice and chemistry to make them likable. Abramson throws believable distractions and complications (within the context of a spy novel) into the romance to keep the reader in suspense about who is targeting the royals and whether Janessa and Garrett will truly make a love match. An LDS suspense romance with a palpable religious conflict, Royal Target, is an escape piece that was just fun to relax and read. Nothing deep or thought provoking, but the book doesn't pretend to be those things, it is just a wonderfully, complicated and cute love story. Yeah!
