I was given a free audio copy from the author and the GRR arc team for review. Bram and Silver grew up in the same town. Silver came from a rich snobby family and Bram actually worked for Silvers mother doing gardening/lawn care. Bram harbored a crush on Silver his whole life so when he gets called to be a bodyguard for rock star and he sees it’s his school crush, he is shocked and the feelings are still there. Silver however doesn’t remember him at first til he starts to put pieces together. What he does know right away though is that he’s attracted to the bodyguard. The problems standing in their way are Silver isn’t out, Bram isn’t out and Bram can’t mix business with pleasure. He is there to protect Silver after he accused his ex manager of misconduct and had recieved not only verbal threats on his life but also physical acts of harm. So Bram must keep his feelings out of the situation to keep Silver safe. The temptation however is just too hard to resist. I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down. The premise is great and the plot was entertaining and kept my interest the whole way through. It didn’t overreach and was believable. Just when you think that everything is obvious and predictable there is a little twist to surprisd you. At least I didn’t expect it. I still would say this is a lower angst read though. The 2 main characters were well developed and had great chemistry. Their scenes together were very hot but they also had great chemistry outside of the physical. I would definitely recommend this book and will read more from these authors. If I had any complaint it would be that the cover and even the title of the book gives off a much more intense vibe than the book actually entails. I actually almost passed it by for that reason alone as I don’t like major action tropes and stereotypical tough hero types. But after reading the write up it called to me and I’m glad cause it really wasn’t that kind of book and it really showed Bram in a softer side which was great. The narrator had a great voice, kept a good pace and did a pretty good job expressing the emotions but he didn’t really differentiate between the voices which was a little disappointing. Looking forward to reading the next one. Even though I don’t usually go for books about royalty the epilogue in this one has me intrigued. The Prince seems like a fun brat.
