I was provided an audible code via the author via Valentine PR, all opinions are my own.
This does read as a complete standalone, however it does mention characters previously mentioned in other books. It isn’t necessary to read any of the previous books to follow along here. Longtime fans of the author have been asking for Troy’s story for years, and now he has finally gotten a starring role.
I loved Troy and Dahlia, they had great chemistry. Dahlia and Troy work together at Landry Security, which if you have read some of Adriana’s other books you will have noticed it mentioned. She receives a very disturbing and threatening email indicating that she may have a stalker. Troy is between bodyguard assignments and is due for a vacation, so when his favorite assistant is threatened he decides to finally take some time off and take her with him. Dahlia thinks her ex is behind it and doesn’t think she needs a security detail, but Troy and their boss decide she needs to get away for a few days while they figure things out. She and Troy are left to their own devices for a few days and sparks fly. She is a ball of energy and she doesn’t put up with much, while Troy is a complete grumpy alpha protector. They offset each other nicely in this fast paced story. This has a nice little suspense element to it, and I hope we get more romantic suspense in the future from the author.
If you are looking for a spicy book, this delivers. This is definitely NSFW, so make sure you have headphones handy or are in a place where you can listen to racy scenes because some of them are downright dirty. The narrators both did an excellent job.
