Al-Sintra Family #7
Her Forbidden Prince
Secrets, Puppies and Fiery Hearts!
The dog bolted down the street, hotly pursued by the most jaw-dropping man Carys had ever laid eyes on. Tall, built like a dream, with a smile that practically melted her from the inside out. One small Carys didn’t believe in love at first sight. And, even worse—this gorgeous mystery man turned out to be her new boss. Not just her boss, but the owner of the entire company.
Prince Rafi Al Sintra couldn’t believe his own luck. The woman of his dreams just happened to work for him, and every second spent around her only made him more determined to make her his. But Rafi’s keeping a royal-sized secret, and Carys’s past has a few skeletons waiting to come out. Can they keep their passion—and each other—safe, or will their explosive chemistry be too hot to handle?

This was such a a great book! I really enjoyed the fact that it was a little lighter than the last couple books in the series: less danger and suspense involved. This book was more of your typical contemporary romance with the issues of the book being more between characters rather than danger. After the last couple books, but the last book especially, I was glad to have a little break from the darkness that was in the last book. I don't want to give anything away, but the TW's are: toxic bosses, absent father drama, breaking and entering, and that's about it! The twin drama that I was half expecting in the last book made an appearance in this book and it was handled so well. But it was resolved quickly enough that I didn't feel like it was dragging on and on forever. I enjoyed watching Rafi slowly gaining Carys's trust through the book, and I really enjoyed watching Carys gain confidence in Rafi and herself. I think my favorite character was, again, Aida the dog, and again, he's not in the book enough in my opinion! But he was in it a little more than the last book. I hope he makes little appearances in the books to come! If you enjoy contemporary romance books with a touch of mystery, then this book is for you! However, I highly recommend that you read this series in order, as past characters from the Al-Sintra family make appearances and past stories are referenced in every book, especially since we are now in the second generation of Al-Sintras. So head on over and get "Hiding in the Sheik's Arms" and get started!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
This book tells Crays and Rafi's story, which we were introduced to in the previous book, Her Prince in Disguise. Crays is Andi's best friend, and Rafi is Laith's twin brother. Crays and Rafi meet when his dog gets away from him and his bodyguards and almost runs Crays down. Rafi is trying to save the company he owns with his brother, specifically the marketing department where Crays works. Crays's and her coworkers' ideas have been suppressed for years by the manager and his assistant. Rafi finds Crays's notebook with her ideas and decides to use them in the next campaign. Sparks fly again in the conference room, and the attraction is hard to ignore. As they spend time together, they can't get enough. Rafi starts wanting more, but Crays is hesitant as he has been burned in the past and has trouble trusting him. If that wasn't enough, someone has been breaking into her apartment to clean it? Her father is also back in her life, wanting a relationship and harassing her to get it. I enjoyed the overall story and enjoyed that we get a small continuation of Andi and Laith's story as well. I was frustrated by some inconsistencies between the two stories. I also couldn't tell if they were supposed to be happening at the same time or if Her Prince in Disguise starts before Her Forbidden Prince. I was also confused about the motivations of her father and this mysterious cleaning burglar.

The Al-Sintra Princes are so wonderful!
The Al-Sintra Princes are working feverishly to turn around their investment businesses. Rafi, Prince Rafi Al-Sintra of Lativa, is focusing on revamping the old, stale marketing program. He’s going to start by cleaning out the department. By accident, Rafi comes across a portfolio of one of his staff members and is convinced that these marketing ideas are a fresh way to get attention for their products. Carys Remington loves her job in marketing, but her bosses, Greg and Tanya, are tyrants, and their ideas are old and boring. Rafi agrees, and the marketing team is switching to Carys’s marketing plans. Rafi is very much into Carys, and after a dinner, they are in each other's arms. This is a lovely romance, but Carys has some hang-ups from her dad abandoning her, and she thinks Rafi will leave her, too.
There’s a lot more going on in this story. Someone is breaking into Carys’s apartment and cleaning it! After many years of no contact, her father suddenly wants a relationship. And…Carys meets her best friend, Aida's boyfriend, who looks just like Rafi? A plethora of awesome, interesting characters, humorous situations, and genuine romance. I love this story and this series. Linda

Her Forbidden Prince is the next of the Al Sintra family siblings. Rafi is working with his brother to get their business back on track. He is working on the marketing end of things. Cary’s works in the marketing department and has some great ideas that keep getting squashed by her stuffy bosses. When Rafi discovers the ideas that Carys has he is intrigued by not only her ideas but her. They begin seeing each other but Carys has some big trust issues and is afraid to give her all. Meanwhile some strange things are happening at her apartment. Weird things go missing and her place is cleaned! She also has been avoiding messages from her father who disappeared from her life years before and he now confronts her! One issue I had with Cary’s was her lack of going to the source and asking her best friend what was going on with her love life! Also, we never did find it why her dad and his wife were so interested in her now!

Rafi and Carys meet for the first time thanks to his run away dog. But before he could even ask her name, she walks away. As luck would have it, they work in the same office, infact he is the owner of the company. Their connection is instant and their chemistry super hot, but there are things in her past that don’t allow trust easily. And with Rafi keeping a royal secret, their HEA could be in jeopardy.
I enjoyed the connection between Rafi and Carys, their intimate scenes are super hot. There is someone breaking in and cleaning Carys apartment, and later thrashes it. The culprit was caught but I was not convinced the reasoning behind it. Barring this point, it was a quick and enjoyable read.

Rafi meets Carys when his German shepherd puppy is running amuck. When she realises the dog is playing and not attacking, she holds him until Rafi runs up looking for him. Rafi is immediately taken by her but doesn’t get her number.
Later at work, they meet again as boss and employee and they do not even try to ignore their attraction.
This is a wonderful quick read: Carys is relationship shy with the attitude that she leaves before she is left; Rafi has played the field, but his attraction to Carys is beyond anything he has felt before. This author is great for leading you through a budding romance with a little suspense thrown in to keep things interesting.
I voluntarily received and reviewed an ARC copy of the book.

Book 7 Great
This is the 7th book in the series and it’s good. This is Rafi’s story, he meets the h when his dog gets lose and runs to her. He discovers she works for his company. The h has trust issues because of her father’s abandonment. She doesn’t believe she is worthy of love. There’s a big misunderstanding when she thinks she sees the H kissing her best friend. She doesn’t know he has an identical twin. There is some other craziness happening. I wished the epilogue had been longer with a double wedding.

Ok, this one was a good one. It was cheery and funny..I love any story that has a dog who is another goofy character..and this German shepherd pup was too cute.
Cary’s met her the Prince when he was trying to tame his pup. Not love at first site, but enough to make you stand up and take notice. Only Cary’s doesn’t trust men easily, so Ravi has his work cut out for him. Ad they navigate their buddy romance, secrets are unveiled, but in the end, it was a great romance, not too much drama, and lovely HEA.

As a reader, you'll never get tired of reading Elizabeth Lennox books. Without putting the book down, each story keeps you turning page after page until you finish. Every story is fresh, fun, romantic and unpredictable. Book 7 is no different. It involves a pooch, hunky alpha twins, girly best friends and, oh yes, troublesome family issues plus a really good plot. This series about Prince Rafi and Carys is so worth it! It ticks all the good boxes and I high recommend it.

This book is on Carys and Prince Rafi. It is so nice seeing the stories continued on from previous books. You don’t have to read them to understand the story but it helps. Plus it was nice seeing a little of continuation of Laith and Andi. There’s a little mystery and angst. I’m looking forward to reading about Zahn’s story.

Rafi & Carys's story is so sweet and romantic! Always nice to have glimpses of the rest of the family and especially Laith & Andi. I would definitely recommend reading from the beginning as it's always nice to have the full scope. The journey of their love is filled with fun, excitement, join de vivre and I've enjoyed reading every page!!

Prince Rafi is a twin of Prince Laith met Carys when his playful german shepherd dog jumped into her arm. The sparks of attraction and lust was off the charts. Rafi gets Carys to do the next campaign based on her skits book she left behind. This was actually a very good story with her father and Beth coming back into her life with tons of mystery.

cute, funny, intrigue, frustrating
Carys laughed, leaning back into her surprisingly comfortable chair. “You’re kind of cute when you’re protecting a bottle of wine that I got on sale at the grocery store.”

I am truly enjoying reading about the next generation of the Al-Sintra family. Rafi and Carys' story was definitely a hit. I truly enjoyed the web with all the players that the author wove in and how all the loose ends were neatly tied up at the end for Rafi and Carys' HEA!

A lovely and romantic story with wonderful characters. It's well-written and developed as always. Elizabeth Lennox is an excellent writer. I recommend this book!💖
