Description

Ex-SEAL Hunter Odenson has always been a big guy. Musclebound, strong, and silent, it’s easy for people to judge him on his body and forget that he has brains too. Hunter’s looking to change that reputation at Norse Security by earning the team leader position. At least, that was the plan before he got stuck as bodyguard to a Hollywood actress. While there’s no better eye candy than Alexandra Valentine, Hunter figures it’s a job that entails more handbag watching than strategizing covert ops.

Alexandra Valentine has made a living playing the ditz. Hollywood likes their blondes bouncy and brainless and Alexandra has been smart enough to give them what they’re looking for. However, after years spent being the butt of the joke she’s ready to snatch screen time back as a leading lady. Going deep undercover into a sex slave ring was supposed to prep her for her first dramatic role, but when things go wrong and she loses her best friend to trafficking, Alexandra’s method acting becomes a real-life crisis.

Alexandra hires Hunter under the guise of protection, but all she wants from the big boy is the training and muscle to save her best friend. When Hunter discovers the position with Alexandra isn’t what it seems, he’s psyched for the chance to prove he’s ready for leadership. But sliding into the world of desire lights a fire under their own attraction. As tensions mount and they delve deeper and deeper into the world of sex, Hunter will need to decide if their growing love or his need to save the day is more important. 

Ex-SEAL Hunter Odenson has always been a big guy. Musclebound, strong, and silent, it’s easy for people to judge him on his body and forget that he has brains too. Hunter’s looking to change that...

Yes, this was one of the best books that North has written in awhile. Just the idea of Hunter playing a submissive slave practically had me laughing out loud.

SEALs always attract action and adventure. This one was no different. The action started on the first page and continued to the very last with a HEA ending. Hero is a gentle giant and the girl figures out immediately he has a heart of gold. I definitely want him, and for that matter her, on my side if I'm ever in trouble.

This book was gifted to me by the author and the publisher in return for an honest review.

Hunter Odenson has always been a big guy since grade school and people seem to forget that he is smart too. He wants to earn the team leader position at Norse Security, an agency made up of ex-SEALS. His latest mission is to be the pretend bodyguard of Hollywood actress, Alexandra Valentine while searching for her missing friend.

Alexandra has made her living in Hollywood living up to the stereotype of ditzy blond. She needs to go undercover into a sex slave ring to save her friend. Alex hires Hunter to help find her friend. When they have to infiltrate a sex club to search for clues, it lights a fire to their own attraction.

As Hunter sees his friend Cam settling down with Everly, he wants the same thing and realizes that Alex is his perfect match.

This was a gripping, fast-paced romantic suspense novel. The book was non-stop action from beginning to HEA. Loved the hero.

I received a complimentary ARC from NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!

The second book in the series has muscle bound Hunter Odenson working as a body guard for actress Alexandra Valentine. They both have pre conceived notions of each other. He thinks she is the ditzy blond like she plays in the moves she been in, and she thinks he is just another muscle bound guy with no brain. Once they have to riley on each other they realize that they need to be a team. She is actually the character that makes this book. Once again a quick read but full of action and you also get to see what happened with the two people from the previous story. Back to the book Alexandra is looking for her best friend who she has been kidnapped by a group that is going to ship her and others out of the country. A very good story about what is going on. there is also a funny scene where Alexandra plays a dominatrix as they need to get into a sex club and Hunter is her sub, a very good part of the story and really some fun and tension to their story. Overall I really liked this book.

This is a really good action packed romantic suspense. I really loved this big sexy hero! Hunter is an amazing man inside and out and it doesn’t take to long for Alex to see that for herself.
I really enjoyed the story and the connection between these two wonderful characters!

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC

Emotionally thrilling, action packed romantic adventure filled with danger, secrets, passion and sexy witty banter..... Enjoyed every heart pounding, excitement inducing twist to this journey.

The story begins with muscle bound Hunter Odenson working as a body guard for actress Alexandra Valentine only neither one of them is exactly what the rest of the world sees.... Sparks fly, true intentions are reviled, danger is around every corner. Could not get enough of this crazy and wild ride.

Alex was desperate to find her best friend. Her life could be in danger all due to the need to find answers on an issue that plagues humanity. Hunter is the only man she trusts to help her find her friend before it’s too late. Will Hunter be able to keep her safe as she gives no thoughts on how to remain safe. Great continuation of the series!

By far one of my favorite quick reads authors, its so amazing the amount of story, romance, drama and sex she manages to squeeze in-between these scorching pages!

Another good story from Leslie North; not overly long and drawn out, but not so short that you can't get wrapped up in the story. The characters are presented in a way that illustrates both Alex and Hunter have learned to adapt their physical appearances in a way that works for them. But even with adaptations, both are still guilty at making assumptions, and more often than not assumptions can come back and bite you well, you know! I love the way Hunter steps in to help Alex, although Alex definitely shows her strengths as well. An enjoyable story all the way around.

This was a new author for me, and she hit it out of the park with this story! I was sucked in right from the start, and I found it very hard to put down this very well-written story filled with action, drama, suspense, humor and romance. The characters were so likable and interesting. The story moved at a very good pace and I was sorry when it ended. Absolutely loved it! NOTE: I did not read the first book in the series, but I had no problem reading this book. I can be read as a stand alone. Highly recommended!
