Book Blurb

After spending years defending his country, will Jonathan lose the battle over his heart?

When Jonathan Stevens meets Kai Stromwell, it’s attraction at first sight, but can a brief sizzle turn into a lasting fire? A series of events leads Jonathan to believe someone is trying to kill Kai. The question is who? With no obvious motives the most he can do is stick close to the handsome man and stay alert. Keeping Kai safe becomes the focus of his life while he fights his own personal demons.

Kai Stromwell has worked hard to build up his fortune. Upon meeting Jonathan he wonders if maybe there is more to life than long hours at the office. When attempts on his life become more and more aggressive, he turns to his new love for answers. Depending on someone had never been easy but he would give up his millions if he could spend the rest of his life teasing Jonathan.

 

Book Review

Just like the first two volumes of the series, this story is about two men desperately looking for love. Kai has been disappointed by men who are after his money, and Jonathan is fighting PTSD after years in the military. Neither of them is ready for the sizzling attraction between them, but that doesn't mean they have it easy. Mysterious attempts on Kai's life keep them busy, Kai's sister is in boyfriend trouble, and any plans for dates they make are interrupted by impending disaster.

Jonathan has a hard time dealing with his nightmares, and the only thing going well for him since he has returned to civilian life is his job with Sinclair (from book one) and Patrick (from book 2). I remember him well from the first book, where he gave Sinclair's lover Callum a really hard time. His personal issues explain that to some degree, but he has also mellowed out a lot since then. Needless to say, he is now good friends with both men, is ding well at work, and the only thing missing is a lover. To say that he is "hit by lightning" when he runs into Kai is putting it mildly. I enjoyed seeing him bitten by the "love bug" so thoroughly!

Kai is a successful businessman who may have been barely tolerated by his father, but his determination to be financially independent has served him well. He, like Jonathan, ids successful professionally but is still looking for someone to share his life with. Jonathan enters his life just in time not only to save his life – several times – but also to show him that life is worth living and enjoying. The attraction is immediate and white-hot, and Kai is determined to make this relationship work - after they deal with the assassins and other idiots who seem to want to make Kai's life hell.

If you like stories about men who are professionally secure but are lacking love and a personal life, if you enjoy reading about a strong bodyguard taking care of all of his client's needs, and if you're looking for mystery with quite a few twists as well as some creepy stalkers and weirdoes in unexpected places, then you will probably like this novella.
