Daniil is the fifth and final book of the Royal Protectors series and follows Prince Daniil as he tracks down the one and only woman to pique his interest for more than one night.
About Daniil
Daniil is a prince who returned to Limaj from exile when King Erik took over the throne. His brother, Sandor, and his sister, Elen, have both found love, settled down and had children. At one time, he was married to Jesper, but when he realized that he was not in love with him, they divorced. They remained friends and he became Uncle Danny to Jesper’s children.
Courtney is a retired Major in the United States Marine Corp. She flew helicopters for them and did multiple deployments to the Middle East. Her best friend, Lennox, is married to Prince Sandor of Limaj. She has visited the country and palace twice and both times were eventful.
On Courtney’s first visit to Limaj for Lennox’s wedding, she had a one night stand with Daniil. She left him without a word. On her second, and last trip, to Limaj, she and Daniil reconnected for a few days. But when she is forced to choose between her best friend or saving a member of the royal family, it is too much for her. Again, she leaves without a word.
Lennox is starting to get worried. She has not heard from Courtney since her last trip. They always call each other on their birthdays. She is unable to reach her and she fears what is going on. When she voices her concerns to Sandor, Daniil is there and decides to find out what is going on with Courtney. Boy is he in for a surprise that will rock his world.
After calling Landon, also known as Grim, and not getting an answer he is happy with, Daniil decides to make a trip to Vegas. He decides to visit Club Inferno, with Marcus, his bodyguard.
Chains asks Courtney to work security at Club Inferno since he is short handed right now. Her brother was hurt on his last “off the books” mission he did and needs time to recuperate. While doing her rounds, she spots a flash from her past that she would prefer remains in her past. So much so that she speaks with Jamie about the situation, as well as the bartender. She is putting in a contingency plan, just in case.
But contingency plans only work if they are planned out. As such, Courtney has been found by the one person she was hiding from. But things go from bad to worse for her when she is confronted at her home. She is scared and mad as a hornet that he dared to follow her home to find out where she lives.
But when her secrets and deceptions are revealed, will Daniil forgive her? Will Courtney learn to trust him and give him a chance?
When her worst nightmare comes true, and multiple people are injured, she calls in the troops. Her brother, Grim. His work partner, and longtime friend, Rage. And, surprisingly, the owner of the security company she works for, Chains. They all show up when she needs them most.
When the nightmare is resolved, Daniil knows he has lost Courtney. He knows her fears, and what just happened will send her running. Sadly, there is nothing he can do about it, except to accept the fallout. Or maybe not.
Impressions
So many emotions run through this book. Anger, hurt, deception, distrust, betrayal, and love. Will the love be enough to overcome all of the negative aspects that come with Courtney being with Daniil? Can Daniil prove to her that he can protect her.
I do not agree with what Courtney did, but I understand why. However, she is a grown woman and she was in the Marines. She knows things happen that are out of your control. I understand her fear, but she needs to pull up her big girl panties and deal with it.
As for Daniil, he is known as the playboy prince and he has earned that moniker. Can he prove to Courtney that she is the only one for him?
So many things happen in this book. There is always something coming at you. Be prepared to get mad at these two. Be prepared to cry. Be prepared to ask why. This is a great ending to this story. And I can’t wait for the spinoff series that is coming.

About Kat Mizera
USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.
Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.
As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
