Lovely! Just lovely! The Bridesmaid’s Royal Bodyguard is the third in the four-book multi-author Royal Wedding. I’ve read all four stories and they’re all gorgeous. They are linked but I read them out of order and it really didn’t matter. They are all gorgeous stories in their own right.
This one brings together former gossip magazine journalist Ally Parker and Fredrik Jensson, head of security for the San Michele royal family. On the surface, these two seem to be polar opposites as she’s working on publicising her best friend’s wedding to the prince whose family it is his job to protect. At closer quarters though the similarities shine through - each is protective of and loyal to those who to them.
Ally and Fredrik are well developed characters with all the hurts, hopes and passions of real people. While the royal wedding adds a fairytale quality to this story, it is nonetheless a story I could relate to because these two are so believable. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing their journey.

Short, sweet and to the point, "The Bridesmaid's Royal Bodyguard" is a Cinderella story with a twist. There was no Prince Charming except for a dour Count. And though Cinderella still scrubbed and cleaned floors, she was her own fairy godmother! Oh, there were no glass slippers either, but stilettos did the trick. How's that for a 21st century retelling of the lovable fairytale?

"The Bridesmaid's Royal Bodyguard" is Rated T for Teens. There are no sex scenes in this book though it was implied it happened.

Beater than the last one but that’s not saying much. The premise was full of potential but the execution was anything but.

As with the previous book, part of this book overlaps with the previous books, however we get new perspectives and the story goes a little further. In this one we end with the wedding of Jonas and Hope from book one.

Ally is the other best friend of Hope who has fallen on hard times thanks to her morals and sleazy editor. Fredrik first meets her scrubbing the kitchen floor or the local pub wearing rubber gloves, a pinny. But Ally shows her quick thinking straight away along with her loyalty o her friend that she would rather incite gossip about herself that let go of her friends secret.

Fredrik and Ally are a great match, find themselves confessing to secrets either barley known or not known at all and are comforted and helped by the other with old hurts.

Cold seeming Fredrik soon starts warming up with Ally by his side, and Ally soon finds herself with something much more than a fling.

I can't wait to the end of the series when we get Celina's story.

Sometimes I simply have fun with characters as they share the happenings in their world. I loved Ally. She’s loyal, stubborn, smart and knows her own worth. She might be down now, but she won’t stay there. She would do anything for her friend Hope, even put up with a rude, stuffed shirt who has no idea of the type of woman she truly is.

It really is true what is said about assumptions… they do make asses of people all the time. Case in point is head of security for the prince’s upcoming wedding, Fredrik. He is absolutely convinced that Ally is out to sell wedding secrets to her old gossip magazine. After all, she’s broke, ousted from her job and must be desperate for money by now – what easier way to instant cash flow than to sell out her friend. It’s not helping Fredrik’s opinions one bit that he’s incredibly attracted to Ally. He will not allow himself to trust her, but their chemistry is off the charts so why shouldn’t they enjoy each other. It’s one way to keep a close eye on this intriguing woman.

All it took was one assumption to crash down anything that Fredrik was beginning to feel for Ally. One very wrong assumption.

I liked both Ally and Fredrik. Sure, Fredrik is stuffy at times and totally wrong… but he makes up for those mistakes in a most satisfying way. Ally is a delight and I really wanted her to find someone who saw her for the gem that she is. I enjoyed this couple and their madcap adventure towards a happy ending of their own. You cannot always go by first impressions, but you should follow your heart at all times. A lesson well earned for them both. If you love a really good romance then this is one that you’ll want to pick up soon.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

The Bridesmaid’s Royal Wedding is a light, fun romantic novel which focuses on an ordinary girl who ends up playing a major role in a royal wedding, and falling in love with a count along the way.

The royal aspect is fairly cliched, but unfortunately even the sections set in England don’t quite ring true. The plot was engaging enough in the moment of reading, but not interesting enough to remember shortly after reading.

A clean, romantic romance. I received a copy of The Bridesmaid's Royal Bodyguard in exchange for an honest review. This is a story about family history and overcoming obstacles. Ally lost her job when the job asked something from her she was unwilling to do. Fredrik is a count, but, he is also the security chief for the royal family of San Michele. The prince of his homeland is marrying Ally's best friend. The wedding is to be held in Combe St. Philip which is a British village. Ally is in charge of the wedding and Fredrik is in charge of the security set-up. They are forced together due to the circumstances and also because they are the only single people in the wedding party. Fredrik is not just a security chief. The family and history of Ally and Fredrik and the location of the wedding are great characters in this book. It is a warm love story that readers will enjoy and a catalyst to look for more Liz Fielding books.

This continues the royal bride series. The cover is lovely and all of the players are getting ready for this wedding. This entry felt not as strong as the others but was able to continue the theme.

Journalist Ally Parker has returned home to Combe St. Philip after losing her job at a gossip magazine. She hs to take any menial job she can find, including cleaning the local pub, just to make ends meet. When her friend Hope asks her to head up the PR for her upcoming royal wedding it seems like the perfect opportunity.
Count Fredrik Jensson, head of royal security, is not impressed with the person Holly has asked to do the wedding PR. He's just waiting for wedding plans to hit the magazines when she sells out to the highest bidder! Sparks start to fly at their first meeting and continue to build. Will the return of Ally's former boss end any chance of HEA?
This was light-hearted read. The characters are likeable and the romance is nice but there is a lack of conflict in the story. Any issues are quickly resolved and events that have caused severe trauma to the characters are resolved by a conversation with the perpetrators.
This is a good read if you're not looking for much drama.

Ally is a journalist and she just got let go from her job with a gossip magazine - Celebrity and now Ally isn’t sure what she is going to do with her life now. Her friend Hope asked her to head P R for her upcoming royal wedding. Hope is marrying Prince Jonas of San Michele. Hope and Ally have been lifelong friends. Then the Chief of Security for the royal family - Count Frederick Jesson shows up and tried to fire her before she even starts. He says that because of her last job at the gossip magazine she is unfit for the job and trying to use her connections to get her job back. The moment and Frederick and Ally meet there is some hot chemistry. Then Frederick and Ally have to go to San Michele together for an official announcement of the wedding.
I had mixed feelings for this book. I loved Ally and Hope’s friendship. I thought Fredrick had no right deciding if Ally deciding if ALly was fit for the job especially as ALly was already chosen by hope to do the PR for her wedding. Plus he was judging her because her last job had been with a gossip magazine and actually put into question her ethics. I did like Ally and Frederick after the story got going. This was a quick read. I did have some problems keeping my interest going in this book. The pace wasn’t too bad. I just felt this was missing something. I didn’t really connect with the characters. As I said I had mixed feelings about this book.

Ally Parker had returned home to Combe St. Philip after she lost her job at a gossip magazine and took the only job available in the small town cleaning. When her good friend Hope approached her to work PR for Hope’s marriage to Prince Jonas she saw it as an opportunity to get a foot back in a door with a job she was better suited for but knew she’d never do anything to hurt Hope.

Count Fredrik Jensson is the head of security for the royal family and he had been sent to Combe St. Philip to get things ready for the big upcoming royal wedding. Ally is at the top of Fredrik’s list of potential problems for the upcoming marriage seeing how she was in debt and out of her job with the gossip mag. Royal secrets could bring big money to Ally so despite the attraction Fredrik immediately feels towards Ally when they meet he is just not sure he can trust her.

The Bridesmaid’s Royal Bodyguard by Liz Fielding is the third installment of the contemporary romance Royal Wedding Invitations series. The series consists of four books by various authors that follow a story that started in the first book with Hope and Prince Jonas meeting and deciding to marry. With each additional book though the main characters switch to another couple involved in the upcoming wedding and tell their story. With most romance series the changing of the characters means they are great as standalones but this one I’d suggest following from the beginning for the full story.

This particular addition to the series for me was a good one. I immediately loved Ally and her strong will to make it on her own after the set back of losing her job. Fredrik is a bit of stiff character and one that I didn’t immediately love but he did have a story there that warms him up a bit as the book goes along. I will say too on the angst side the author did a great job giving this one the twist of it being the male that had the trust issues instead of the normal female freak out moment you often get. In the end it was a nice addition and looking forward to the next.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

The third book in the Royal Wedding Invitations series belongs to Ally Parker, Hope’s best friend, who recently moved back to Combe St Philip after losing her glamorous journalist job with Celebrity Magazine. Ally is desperate for money and takes on a job she really doesn’t like. But it pays the bills. When Hope asks Ally to do PR for her wedding, Ally is excited. She has so many great ideas. What Ally didn’t expect was to have a bodyguard under foot the entire time.

Count Fredrik Jensson is head of security for the royal family. He arrived in Combe St Philip and make sure everything was secure for the royal wedding and to meet Ally, the bridesmaid. Fredrik did not trust Ally after doing a background check on her. So, he planned to keep an eye on her. He didn’t imagine they would end up falling in love.

I enjoyed this book as much as I have the previous books in the series. Ally and Fredrik didn’t seem to be a good match at first, but they brought out the best in each other. Plus both having issues from their past made the story interesting.

The Bridesmaid's Royal Bodyguard by Liz Fielding is book three of Tule Publishing’s Royal Wedding Invitation Series. Each book has been by a different author. The second through fourth stories are about family and friends of Hope and Prince Jonas, the wedding couple. It is amazing have this series has clicked seamlessly together.

Still, this is my favorite of the four. Mostly that is because of the characters that Liz Fielding created. I liked Ally especially since she is honest, loyal and caring but manages to also be levelheaded. I understood Fredrik’s cautious opinion of Alley. That made for a bit of an enemies to lovers story-line since Fredrik was in charge of security. Yet, the drama is not over the top since they are not really enemies. The well-developed characters of Bridesmaid's Royal Bodyguard made this a fun afternoon read.

4.5 Stars
An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley.

This is the second book in the series. He is in charge of security. She is the bride’s friend. She is offered the job for PR for the royal wedding. Frederik is very suspicious of Alice. Once he gets to know her, he realizes she is not what he thought. They fall in love. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Could not finish, and I tried multiple times. I downloaded because I enjoyed the premise and was hoping for something cute and quirky. What I got instead was a slew of overused similes, clunky dialogue, completely predictable scenes. Just not good writing. 2 stars for a good idea.

"Received an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for a fair review"
I was curious about Fredrik, the brooding hero I had met as a secondary character in another story in this series. But I found he wasn’t brooding enough, wounded enough, I couldn’t feel for him (or the heroine). So, a good story, well written, but the plot didn’t engage me and I couldn’t connect with the characters. Other readers might enjoy it.

After The Prince's Bride, I was totally into the San Michele court. So a story about Fredrik, the head of security and Ally, lifelong BFF of Hope is too good to pass up. And indeed, we get to swoon over Fredrik. The upper stiff security guy and the easygoing gossip girl. What can I say: opposites attract. And they do. But still they distrust each other and they misinterpret situations.

Liz Fielding does an excellent job in giving the story (and especially Fredrik) multiple layers and twists and turns. So the book is very refreshing, swoon worthy and a great read. Warms your heart and keeps the pages turning.

So four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc. And of course, I'll be looking out for the other parts of this series Royal Wedding Invitations.

A nice addition to the series! This is a light easy read with some great characters, low angst, and a great romance between two people who at first don't hit it off all that well.

Journalist Ally Parker has just been let go from her job on a gossip magazine and she's not quite sure what's she's going to do with her life now. When her friend Hope asks her to head up the PR for her upcoming royal wedding it seems like the perfect opportunity. Then the Chief of Security for the royal family, Count Fredrik Jensson, shows up and basically tried to fire her before she even starts. He's convinced that because of her last job she's trying to use her connection to get her job back. Needless to say there are sparks flying between these two but they aren't all about the job~~

A quick fun read I think you'll enjoy. I recommend it.

Fun, quick read. I loved the continuation of the wedding prep for Jonas and Hope's wedding. I really liked Fredrick and Ally and their dynamic. This was my first Liz Fielding book and it won't be my last.
