Book Blurb

Helrick doesn’t use bodyguards for protection, he uses them in his bed. Spoiled, foolish, and horny describe the president’s son. Hel isn’t interested in anything but his next lay. When a new guard, Sin, arrives intent on keeping Hel at a distance, he finds it a worthy challenge. It’s only a matter of time before Hel gets what he wants, but when the threat he’s been warned about his whole life comes true, only Sin can save him. Add that to the biggest storm of the century hitting their little city on Mars and Hel might finally need a real bodyguard.

As assassins focus on Hel and the storm inches ever closer, Sin must use all his skills to protect the president’s son and the foolish flirt he’s falling for. Even if it’s with his own life.

Book Review

With this fourth book in the series, the focus moves back to Mars, just before the big sandstorm that featured at the end of book three, and one of the men I was most curious about - President Justice’s son, Helrick. With an unnamed terrorist group who opposes the evacuation to Earth threatening the president’s life, Helrick is being kept safe – much to his increasing anger. He is a member of the Outlaw MC, but he never gets to have any adventures with them… until events take an unexpected turn.

Helrick doesn’t take life seriously. He is mainly interested in having a good time with as many men as he can find, especially his bodyguards. Helrik is spoiled, doesn’t think about the future, and when Mars’s environmental disaster becomes unavoidable and real damage occurs, Helrick is not ready for any of it. He’ll have to grow up rather quickly if he wants to survive not just the natural disasters but the political mess caused by assassins who are after his father’s – and his – life.

Sin is Helrick’s newest bodyguard – and he is professional, unrelentingly resistant to any advances (or demands) Helrick makes, and the only thing he is interested in is keeping Helrick alive. Or so it seems. Sin has an interesting back story, and as I got to know him, I began to like him. His life wasn’t easy, and he has reasons for what he believes and how he acts. As straight-laced as he seems, he turns out to be the best possible partner for Helrick – not that either of the stubborn guys admit this easily. And with all the action and danger around them, it’s not exactly their first priority.

If you like spoiled brats who learn about the serious side of life in the face of danger, if you want to watch two stubborn men fight it out, and if you’re looking for an action-packed story with a strong side helping of scorching physical activity, then you might like this novella.
