In Shining Armor: Billionaires in Disguise: Flicka (Her Royal Bodyguard Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Blair Babylon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 776 ratings
Flicka won’t allow herself to be terrified.

She’s on the run from her cheating, soon-to-be ex-husband Prince Pierre and his Secret Service, and she doesn’t have a passport, credit cards, or money.

She needs to get to Paris to talk to her lawyers about divorcing that jerk.

The only thing standing between her and the cheating prince is Dieter Schwarz, her bodyguard, her protector, and her ex-lover. He’s six feet, four inches of sarcasm, dark humor, and rock-hard muscle. A former Swiss mercenary, now he owns and operates Rogue Security—a band of former special operations soldiers, SEALs, hackers, and spies—which will take any dirty covert operation for the right price.

But the Secret Service is tracking her, and even Dieter and the Rogues might not be able to keep her safe from her ex.

And once again, she’s falling in love with Dieter, which might be the most dangerous thing of all.

So Good!!! We are once again following Flicka's harrowing escapes from her ex-husband. With Deiter's help, they get to safety. Book 2 in the Runaway Princess is great and just as good and entertaining as all of the other books in this series. You do not want miss any of them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Fabulous book by Blair Babylon. A romance, a nail-bighter. More information on Dieter, The Big Escape, Get It!

    In Shining Armor Book 2 of The Runaway Princess Bride part of the Billionaires in Disguise: Flicka series of books by Blair Babylon authoress extraordinaire.

    I have read every one of Blair's books and I now anticipate biting off the rest of my fingernails with the final installment. Examples from Rae and Wulf's story, Lizzy's, and my previous and perhaps my still favorite, Alexandre/Xan/Alex and Georgie's. All had intense terrifying sit at the edge of your seat dramatic endings before the final HEA's. I suspect Flicka's/Dieter's will also have a hair-raising climax before we get our HEA. By-the-way, I think most of the reviewers have it wrong: Dieter is not the one in Shining Armor, Flicka is. In fact throughout these two first books she frequently refers to putting on her 'shining armor'. There is probably not a book that Blair will ever write that I will not read and love and then re-read several times. THANK YOU, Blair for finding a more aristocratic featured face for Alexandre, finally. The story describes him having blond hair, yet except for the first iteration of the novels, none have had blonde hair nor looked even remotely aristocratic. The pictures of Dieter are perfect! now to the story.
    I rated this second book FIVE STARS! Would that I could give it more. You picked up this book right where the last book left off. Well-done. You thoroughly researched Swiss, French, Monaco, and the US laws concerning pre-nuptial agreements and marriage dissolutions, how closely the French work with Monaco. Lines of accession to the throne in Monaco versus Protestant countries. Other obscure laws concerning mercenaries were also included. The writing placed me right there within the action - somewhat harrowing, at times.

    I will remember this second book best for filling in the long history of building romance between Dieter and Flicka. We find out a bit more of Dieter's past. Can't wait for the rest to come out in the conclusion (with a HEA, please). I know many are hoping that Dieter takes Pierre behind the woodshed, but I think that Wulf, being a prince could/should deal most effectively with Pierre.

    Some of the more important issues and actions were: the reconnection between Dieter and Flicka, Flicka not having a passport and having to use Dieter's ex-wife's. See the steam coming out of Flicka's ears? Getting away from Pierre and his large contingent of henchmen. I doubt that we've seen the last of Pierre. The flashbacks that filled in so many details in Flicka's past, and Dieter's too. Dieter takes on more of a lover's role in this book.

    If you want a book that will grab you from the first page to the last sigh, get this series! On to the conclusion. I hope I have any nails left to bite. I purchase my Blair Babylon stories. MUST SUPPORT THE AUTHORS I ADORE! 5 Stars all the way!

    5.0 out of 5 stars getting to a place where she is able to divorce and be safe from the man who showed his true colors after they took their final vows is no easy task. Dieter uses every weapon in his arsenal ...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

    I cannot get enough of these characters and the complications that are their lives. They become more human with each story this author tells, and become more reachable with each line she writes. This is no less the case with Flicka and Dieter. She has finally escaped the clutches of the Prince who would keep her locked away in his fortress to bear his heirs at whatever cost with the help of her bodyguard and ex-lover, mercenary Dieter Schwarz. But, getting to a place where she is able to divorce and be safe from the man who showed his true colors after they took their final vows is no easy task. Dieter uses every weapon in his arsenal to aid in her rescue because it is not only his duty to his best friend, her brother Wulf, but his feelings for her have never subsided.

    This is the third book in the Runaway Princess series, and in this one we learn what brought these two unlikely allies together in the first place, how they met and what brought them to a place where she would marry someone else and he would walk away from the one who captured his heart. As this installment draws to a close, it leaves us in a precarious position of knowing there are secrets yet to be revealed and that those secrets could mean the end to more than just Flicka's freedom. They could put both of them in a danger for which neither of them is prepared.

    These characters couldn't be more different and more alike. The author has knowledge of history and details of European government that would take the average American serious amounts of time to weed through. The important details of not just European government but the histories is the backbone to the reasoning for every step forward these characters take. She takes us on a wicked, steamy and frightening ride that leaves us out of breath, wishing it hadn't ended yet, and waiting in line, ready to get back on. I absolutely preordered the next volume in the series, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Insight into Flicka and Dieter's background
    Reviewed in Canada on May 14, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    And here we are left hanging again. I hate that the story of Flicka and Dieter is broken into small chunks and not immediately available, I'm just not a patient person and waiting a month between instalments is killing me.
    Having said that, this piece of the story is important to understand the relationships between Flicka and Pierre and Dieter. We see that Pierre is an even bigger jerk than what we first thought in previous stories. He is a selfish arse who really only cares about the crown and not the lives of all the others he affects with his decisions/actions. After being abused by Pierre, Flicka flees to the one person she can always trust and thankfully Dieter is always ready to protect her. I really hope at some point Pierre gets what he truly deserves (not the crown and not death; he needs to suffer.. a lot).
    A little bit of Dieter's past has now been revealed and we can only guess that his background will cause a lot more problems for the couple. I hope that Flicka forgives him soon and that they can work on forging a real relationship and work together to fight all their external enemies verses each other. As well, it will be interesting to see how the relationship between Wulf and Dieter will change as the various secrets are revealed. Hopefully these two remain tight.

    I really enjoyed this well written book, which is clearly a tale of marrying the wrong man, but can the right man, the one she fell in love with years ago help her now. Normally when you plan to leave your husband it doesn’t result in your life being on the line. This book of danger intrigue, twists and turns and sweet moments. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Flicka & Dieter, Imperfectly perfect!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 8, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This is certainly (especially amongst fans) one hotly anticipated second book in the Billionaires In Disguise spin-off series, Runaway Princess.
    As in the past and as this book began, I initially found it difficult to connect with Flicka as a character. By the time I had reached the 15-20% mark, Blair was turning my emotions on their head and I began to connect with Flicka. Was this due to her experiences with Pierre, of course but more importantly it was due to Flickas vulnerability as a fellow woman and the emotional content within the storyline.
    Blair seamlessly blends In Shining Armour into the BID timeline as well as covering the history between Dieter and Flicka. This was a massive turning point for me, allowing me to truly fall under their spell as a couple. By Regrets and Recriminations my heart was breaking for Dieter. I often wondered why Dieter had stayed with Wulf for so long, knowing the Von Hanover's moved within the same social circles. As certain past characters began making appearances I was screaming "yes!" at my Kindle. (not mentioning names, you'll have to read it to get them)

    Dieter or Raphael, a story within a story. Where will Blair take us next? Will Flicka ever be free of Pierre? Will they survive to have a future together? BUT AS ALWAYS...expect the unexpected in any book by Blair, In Shinning Armour is by no means an exception!

    Blair Babylon is the only author who has been able to keep me emotionally and mentally engaged in every character and storyline from the very first book in the Billionaires In Disguise Series, back in 2013. At times having to put my kindle down and breathe through the emotions and most importantly, stock up on chocolate! I have never pre-ordered a series so fast in my life. Book 3, In A Faraway Land cannot come fast enough.
