Titan bodyguard Ajax is tasked with protecting Prince Ryden while he attends graduate school in the US. Ryden is still in the closet about his sexuality for fear of disappointing his parents, the king and queen. Both men know getting together is a bad idea, but will love still prevail?

‘Protecting the Prince’ is an entertaining forbidden-love story. Both main characters have engaging personalities. The scenes depicting Ajax and Ryden interacting as college roommates and classmates are cute. The angst is low-key except for a short spike at the end. Add in a smattering of well-placed sexy times and Lyda and Bates deliver a wholly satisfying HEA.

Austin Jay’s narration is great. He adds a great emotional touch to the story.

This voluntary opinion is written following my request for a free review copy audiobook of ‘Protecting the Prince’.

Recommended.
