I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I love Cynthia Eden's novels. They are just the right amount of romance and suspense and you know you are in for a good story when Wilde Ways is involved. Iris and Pierce are neighbors and she just wants to be friends but the attraction to Pierce is so intense, along with the fact she is in the witness protection and Pierce is a bodyguard. Good book really enjoyed.

An Outstanding Suspense Romance .

I love Iris and Pierce! This was such a great romantic suspense. The storyline was super unique and I was constantly left guessing what would happen next. I couldn't put it down! This is one of my favorite series and this was the perfect addition.

Cynthia Eden has a very special talent in that she has written over 15 books in the Wilde Series and has miraculously avoided repeating story lines. Not only has she not repeated the plot, but each and every character is individual and unique in their own right – how does she do that?! All I know is that I want her to continue to do so because I love every single book for a myriad of different reasons. If romantic suspense is your preferred choice of genre, then I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Eden. Suspense, mystery, edge-of-your-seat adventure, sexy strong heroes, brave heroines – you name it, you’ll find it in Ms. Eden’s books. I have to say that I think Pierce Jennings made me laugh as much as I swooned – there were quite a few hysterical moments in this read. Another edgy, sizzling romantic suspense that I couldn’t put down once I started reading. Now I’m anxiously waiting for Colt’s story! I'm very grateful to NetGalley and the publisher to have been given the opportunity to read an ARC of this book.

The Bodyguard Next Door by Cynthia Eden is book 5 in the Wilde Ways Series. This is the story of Pierce Jennings and Iris Stuart. Iris is in the Witness Protection Custody so she tries to keep to herself to protect herself and other if her past comes to get her. Then a new neighbor moves in and she feels safe with him but she knows there can't be anything more so she just wants to be friends. Pierce is used to danger and protecting others so it natural for him to feel protective of Iris. But he feels so much more for her than that and when danger comes for her he goes is to alpha protection mode. Enjoyed their story and I hope to read more from this author.

The Bodyguard Next Door (Wilde Ways #15) by Cynthia Eden is an instant attraction if not an instant love story. At least it is for neighbor Pierce Jennings. Perhaps for Iris Stuart too since she has an admiring crush on her neighbor. While instant anything is not my favorite trope, this one works since they have been neighbors before the book began. Now friendship to love is more my style with this having that too.

Another awesome romantic suspense from an author who always delivers. This book was full of danger, suspense, intrigue, wonderful characters, and hot romance. Romance readers will want to read this hot action-packed romantic suspense.

4.5 Stars
An ARC of the book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I always look forward to a new book in Wilde Investigations world and they never disappoint me! This time, Iris is the one in trouble with a somewhat shady past and Pierce is the good guy living next door to her.

There are some secrets revealed and things we find are not just a coincidence. Along with some twists, add in a sizzling romance and I could not put this book down!

Some new additions that are kind of side characters are pretty intriguing and hope that maybe they will be in future books. Also, it is always nice to see Eric Wilde show up even for a short appearance.

Now, I just have to wait for the next one!

Pierce and Iris are hot, hot, hot! I loved the art aspect to this one, it's not something I've read a lot. We see some old favorites and meet some new. There's suspense, action, sexy romance, humor, and surprises. What more could you want? Cynthia Eden does romantic suspense like no one else. And this series just keeps getting better. Pierce is your new book boyfriend!

4 stars!

Another fantastic story by Ms. Eden! The characters pull you in and the story line is engaging with lots of drama and heart.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

I love the premise of this story because it was so different and I fall in love all over again with every new story.

This is a super fast paced read with plenty of twists and turns and for once I didn't work it all out by the middle of the storyline another great work from one of my favourite authors

I kept thinking that I had it all figured out then bam! Everything changed. I really enjoyed reading, The Bodyguard Nextdoor, and how it kept me guessing.

The Bodyguard Next Door (Wilde Ways, #15) by Cynthia Eden
I really love this series! This is Iris and Pierce's story - he is a Wilde agent and she is part of a family who deal in art forgeries. She has been in protective custody - but a evil man has found her and wants her skills. Pierce is her new neighbor and he has decided he wants more than the friend zone and he will protect her at all costs. There is angst, deception, fear, trust and mistrust, danger, humor, lots of steam and love to get us to a HEA. I can't wait for the next book - Ex Marks The Perfect Spot (Wilde Ways Book 16) in July.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Scary Page-turner Action-packed Happily Ever After Tear-jerker Tragic Unpredictable Steamy Easy-to-read Entertaining Wonderful characters Witty Romantic

Iris Stuart was not the neighbor that Pierce Jennings expected…she was so much more! Pierce is a former Army Ranger and an agent with Wilde Security. Iris has secrets, secrets that keep her on the run. Her brother is missing, her father was murdered and the Feds want to use her to take down a criminal who deals in art forgeries. Iris wants to be friends with Pierce, but from their first meeting, he wants something more than friendship. When he realizes that she is in trouble, he suggests that she hire him as her bodyguard. The interaction between them, her naivete yet strength, the hot romance and his alpha need to protect make this an excellent romantic suspense. When she is almost kidnapped, Pierce shows her just how dangerous he can be, but the threat is not over. The still unknown criminal has not given up on using Iris for his own greed. This is one of my all-time favorite series with well-rounded characters and a story line that will keep you on edge and laughing at the same time. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)
