Close Quarters with the Bodyguard

Steamy hot romantic suspense, with a lot of emphasis on the suspense and the steam mixed in! This is the first book that I have read by the author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It kept me completely engaged in the story of Jocelyn Gerber, an ADA who is threatened by a crime boss on his way to trial. She has a bodyguard named Landon and the two of them don’t trust each other. Nevertheless, their attraction for each other is obvious and builds as the story evolves. There were some unexpected twists and lots of clues to who is the “inside man” for Luther Mills if you pay close attention. Luther is determined not to go to prison and pulls out all the stops, threatening and having various people killed throughout the book. The characters were actively involved in each other’s lives and very realistically portrayed. I gave the book four stars because the ending disappointed me some, but the book was a fast-paced thrill ride. Now, I need to find a sequel to read! Fans fo romantic suspense with hot bedroom scenes will enjoy this book from Harlequin. Disclaimer Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
