ARC Review - The Bodyguard Next Door (Wilde Ways #15) by Cynthia Eden!



BLURB:

He’s danger and a wicked, hot grin…

Iris Stuart may have a small crush on her neighbor. After all, Pierce Jennings is gorgeous, muscled, and he has a laugh that makes her toes curl. But she is not going down that particular path of temptation with the former Army Ranger and current Wilde agent. Nope. Not happening. They’ll stay in the friend zone because it’s safer that way. Safer for her—and for him. Even if looking into his baby blues makes her heart race.

She’s sunshine, secrets, and a bit of sin…

Pierce’s new neighbor wears paint-splattered jeans, she smells like sin, and he wants to put his hands all over her gorgeous body. Too bad she’s friend-zoned him. Too bad she’s starring in most of his fantasies. Too bad he can’t get her out of his head.

But when danger comes knocking, he’s just the man she needs.

So Iris may have a slightly infamous past—and a family who more than dabs in art forgeries. Iris inherited some of their not-so-slightly shady skills, and unfortunately, now some dangerous people want to use her. When the bad guys don’t take no for an answer and they try to abduct her, it’s her sexy bodyguard next door who comes to her rescue.

Suddenly, she’s got his protection.

The bad guys want her art skills, the Feds in stiff suits want her to work a sting, and Pierce? He just wants her to be his. And what Pierce wants, he will get. Even if he has to take down an undercover art ring and take on the Feds, he will stay by Iris’s side. He’s not just going to be her bodyguard. Before they are done, he plans to be one hell of a lot more to her…

Author’s Note: Does it get better than having a seriously buff, ready-to-handle-any-threat bodyguard…right next door? For Iris Stuart, this turn of events is probably the best thing that has ever happened to her. But falling for sexy Pierce wasn’t supposed to happen. She’s the bad girl. He’s the hero. Except…maybe a bad girl can win the heart of the hero, provided, of course, that they can survive the danger heading their way. It’s time for another WILDE ride. What can you expect? Hot times, lots of danger, humor, thrills…and a guaranteed happy ending.

 

MY REVIEW:

The Bodyguard Next Door was certainly one of the most sexy, fill-your-stomach-with-butterflies swoony and perfectly humorous and 100% loaded with action and suspense and sizzling romance!

The newest Wilde Ways story was exceptionally fun and steamy. Pierce and Iris's chemistry makes a reader want to take a cold shower and fan themselves at the same time. I loved Pierce's protective and alpha nature as well as his sweet, flirty and caring one too while Iris held a lot of secrets that surprised me again and again. She had a sweet personality, and I loved her spirit. This novel was entertaining and fun and had a lot of twists, turns and heart pounding action that kept me turning the pages. The romance was also sweet, sexy and completely yummy.  I can't get enough of these Wilde agents and their amazing heroines! 

The Bodyguard Next Door gets a STEAMY AND HILARIOUS FIVE SNAP, CRACKLE, AND POP STARS!

NetGalley ARC Review - Unforgiven (Deep Ops #5) by Rebecca Zanetti!



BLURB:

Run:

When Gemma gets the chance to teach at D.C. University, she hopes she and her young daughter have found a safe harbor. The only flaw is the arrogant philosophy professor who’s always underfoot giving unwanted advice—in his sexy British accent . . .

Hide:
Jethro Hanson has blood on his hands. He’s working within ivy-covered university halls now, but he knows that his work with the Deep Ops team and the deadly acts he once committed for the sake of Queen and country place him beyond forgiveness—until he meets Gemma . . .

Seek:
Soon, the passion between them stuns them both. But when Jethro discovers a threat is fast overtaking her, he must choose between the redemption he seeks—and releasing the ever-present killer inside . . .
 


REVIEW:

Unforgiven is a stomach twisting, lip biting, thrilling suspenseful and ultra-amazing addition in Rebecca Zanetti's fan favorite Deep Ops series! 

From the moment I started Unforgiven, I was entranced by the newest Deep Ops story. Gemma and Jethro are officially my new favorite couple in the series! Jethro has been on my mind for a long while now and I was giddy to finally read his story. He is a sexy, protective and respectful man that has so much sizzling sex appeal and the way he acts with Gemma just makes my heart sigh. And Gemma is such a great mom and a wonderful heroine, and her daughter is absolutely precious! This story is everything fun, sexy, exciting and just all over GOOD! I can't wait to reread this again!

Unforgiven gets a SUPER AMAZING FIVE ACTION PACKED STARS!
