When her father hires a bodyguard
to follow her every move, but doesn’t explain the reasons why she needs one,
heiress Kate Milton does her best to act like having a bodyguard is normal.
However, the moment she meets Sean, she instantly knows that her life is never
going to be the same.
As a fan of the romance genre, I always
believe that a book in this genre should end with a happy ever after. So the
fact that this book ended with a cliffhanger, was the first thing it had against it, for
me to think it was a good story. The second thing I always wonder is, when an
author ends with a cliffhanger, is it because they don’t believe a reader would buy their next one, if it didn't follow on? Although the plot was
fast-paced and filled with enough action to keep a reader’s attention, the fact
that it was only told, from the heroine’s point of view certainly diminished it
from being anything worth more than three stars. I believe, if the author had
told this story from the hero’s point of view as well, and given us more insight
into his back story, then it would have been a worthwhile read.
Kate is a total princess,
completely naïve, and thinks she should get anything she wants. The fact that Sean
manages to resist her, for as long as he does had me cheering. Her temper
tantrums when things don’t go her way were hilarious, especially as she thinks
they’ll make Sean give in to the strong attraction they share. There are some mild sex scenes, all one sided where the hero gives Kate pleasure. Another thing that was disappointing, as the chemistry between the pair definitely deserved to be explored. The one thing I
did like about Kate though, was her determination to do a good job in the role
her father demanded she take with the family company.
Overall, this was an okay story,
and perhaps I’ll read the next one just to learn of the person responsible, for
causing the cliffhanger at the end. But honestly, I wouldn’t bet on it unless
Amazon offers it as a free read.
Sensuality Rating: Mildly Sensual

Along the way, she will slowly get to know the man who’s in charge of her protection. What she will discover will take her down a road of danger, lust, forbidden desire, revenge and broken dreams.
