As the second full installment in The Prince’s Dearest Guards series, The Prince’s Loving Guards delves deeper into Hal’s magic, what that means in society, and the guards’ pasts. The boys have great sexual chemistry, but Elwood and Kaiser are emotionally keeping each other at arms’ length. I was a little frustrated with how little we learned, but the regular clip of spice sated me. Van Dalen’s prose has improved remarkably. I could visualize the scenes more and keep better track of limbs, haha. Another good entry in an affirming and—dare I say it—loving series.
