Dahlia and Troy both work at Landry Security. He’s the badass bodyguard and she’s his assistant. They bicker and banter all the time (think Penelope and Morgan from Criminal Minds), but we can tell there is a strong attraction there. One of which Troy is very conflicted about, especially because they work like a well-oiled machine.
When Dahlia receives a death threat, Troy goes into overprotective mode. They find themselves hiding out and a wonderful location with the quintessential “one bed” situation. There is so much a man can take, more so when that Dahlia throws caution to the wind and tells him exactly how she feels.
A fast paced, quick story that brings Troy to the spotlight (if you have been reading Adriana’s books, you certainly heard about him). It’s full of banter, it’s hotter than the sun and you’ll enjoy seeing the tough-as-nails bodyguard show his soft side. Dahlia is a fun character who provides really fun lines.
Narrated dual style by C.J. Bloom and Connor Brown. Connor is a new narrator to me and I had a little bit of a hard time with his style of narration. C.J. shines as she always does, especially when you give her a feisty heroine.
You’ll get a treat in many cameos and mentions from characters from other books. You will also get your heart broken by Troy’s traumatic background.
