Navy SEAL Bodyguard by Tawny Weber AEGIS Security #2 When Spence Lloyd is in midst of doing final paperwork to leave the Navy his commanding officer offers him an undercover job with the promise that if he succeeds there will be the perfect job for him with AEGIS Security when he finishes – a job that would allow him to use all of his skills and do so in a rewarding way. So, of course he takes on the job. What is the job? Being the bodyguard for Mia Cade, daughter of his commanding officer. Babysitting is what he and Mia’s father think he will be doing but just in case there is more to the job than either of the two military men believe will happen – Spence will be on the job. Spence is on task for the mission, has a plan and will execute it. He will keep Mia safe and keep his identity secret...as per orders...no matter what. When Spence first sees Mia he hopes she is available as he is interested in her...at least physically. When Mia sees Spence she feels the same. As Mia never plans to settle down with anyone in the military this could prove to be a deal breaker but they can still have fun as long as she doesn’t know who Spence really is, right? Throw in the fact that this is going to be more than a babysitting job and that there will be bad guys to thwart and there will be a HEA ending...eventually...and you have all the elements of a great Romantic Suspense. I really liked the chemistry between Mia and Spence and even appreciated that their families cared about them in a rather meddling way. There were times I thought Mia, for someone so aware, was a bit gullible. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Yes Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars

Spence had to resign himself that his career as a SEAL was over. An injury took that part of his life. He still had a life and there was plenty he could do--just not what he loved with the team of his brothers in arms. He had an opportunity. All he had to do was babysit his commander's daughter. First: she was no young kid but a beautiful woman -- beautiful hot woman he couldn't touch but he sure could look. Two: he couldn't tell her why her father wanted her with extra protection so he had to fit into her lifestyle. Mia was determined to prove to her family that she was a success. Her charity event planning business was growing. She just needed a couple more big clients to put her over the top. Her big chance came just at the time she lost her assistant. Enter Spence. Not that a SEAL (she didn't know his background) was good at table setting and flowers but he wasn't called Improv for nothing. Using his contacts to check out the client list and anyone else suspicious showed noting concrete but enough to make him worry. His orders were to do what was necessary. Would that include using his contacts for under the table information gathering? Protecting his daughter from handsy clients? Playing a role? And so much more. The chemistry was too hot. The danger from too many sides. The authorities unwilling to listen. Would Spence be able to save the girl, help her save her business, find a way to be with the girl, and live to get the job of his dreams? I loved the characters. The situation was unique for a SEAL story and as always the author has done it again. Another winner for Tawny Weber.

ARC for honest review with no compensation Navy Seal Bodyguard is book 2 in the Aegis Security series by Tawny Weber and another great read! Once a Seal always a Seal even when you are injured and know your days are numbered to leave the team. Time has run out for Spence Lloyd and while processing his final paperwork the Admiral has one final mission...being an undercover bodyguard for the Admiral’s daughter, Mia Cade. The Admiral has a dangling carrot...that if he succeeds he will have a job with Aegis! Spence thinks it’s just a babysitting job except this is not a young girl but a woman who presses all his buttons! Mia on the other hand wants no parts of a bodyguard, a military man but maybe a fling would be good...but the bad guys are determined to take Mia out... Can Spence keep her safe, show her military men are a special breed, keep her satisfied and find their HEA without the meddling families...
