Royce must escort the lovely Princess Ciara across a war-torn land to her royal wedding… and ensure that she arrives untouched. The two set off alone on a treacherous journey through snowy mountain passes, but forbidden desire soon proves even more dangerous than the assassins on their trail. With the fate of two kingdoms hanging in the balance, will Royce and Ciara do as honor and duty demand… or surrender to the longing in their hearts?

    Couldn't put this book down!!

    I loved this book that I read it overnight. The characters are well thought of, the storyline simple and yet complicated. But most importantly, it is very romantic. Loved it!!

    He thinks she's a spoiled-brat princess. She thinks he's a cold-blooded
    mercenary. But travel together they must, Royce and Ciara. The way this
    pair snips at each other is fun to watch because they're both so good at
    it. And watching them reveal who they really are to the other (and maybe
    even themselves) is delightful as well. But this book hurt. Sharing
    their anguish as they deal with their issues of honor and courage was
    difficult (read that as: hard to put the book the book down and do other
    things!). Thacker delivers quite a story in HIS FORBIDDEN TOUCH. One
    well worth reading. But brace yourself. She has a penchant for action
    and adventure, so buckle your seat belt.

    Nice

    2nd book I have read from this author. I was not disappointed.I like her writing style. I like the fact that I had no clue how the story would end. I even had tears in my eyes at some points. I loved the book and enjoyed reading it every step of the way.
    Kudos for Shelly Thacker.

    Fantastic read! Shelly Thacker has become one of my favorite authors. Brilliantly written. Just enough spice in the sex scenes to make you wish you were there! Couldn't put it down.
