Blurb: Can Christmas be the time when Kirby finally stops running and allows himself to fall in love with the man who saves his life? CIA Agent Stefan Mortimer is cooling his heels in the UK until he can go home. Taking on easy assignments with Bodyguards Inc. seems like a good solution to keep him sane. He's used to life throwing him curveballs, and it’s just another day at the office when he rescues Kirby Devlin and his niece and nephew. Now he has to keep Kirby and the kids alive and stay professional.
Kirby Devlin has one priority; keeping his small family safe. On the run, and facing danger at every turn, Kirby finally runs out of places to hide on a snowy December day at Edinburgh airport. Stefan comes to the rescue, saves him and the children. Is it possible that Kirby finally has someone to trust?
Now, if only it would be as easy for Kirby to trust Stefan with his heart.

Excerpt:
“What the hell is he
doing?” Stefan murmured as the man in the cheap suit moved out of the shadows
and back into them again.
Tall, with his hands pressed deep into his jacket pockets, the
man crossed from one side of the large empty waiting room to the other. His
expression was one of determination, but his posture screamed anger, and it was
difficult to tell which was winning from this distance.
Stefan was killing
time at Waverley, the train station in
Edinburgh, waiting for the train holding his latest babysitting job to depart,
and all he could focus on was this one man. Typical that even when he was
supposed to be having a quiet time with his Kindle, Stefan spotted shit that
just wasn’t right.
Call it boredom, call
it a sixth sense, but the man in the suit was up to something. And he was one
of three. He had two friends along for the ride: a tall guy and another as wide as he was tall, with his head
disappearing into his thick neck. Abruptly, Stefan knew he had been looking at
the man in charge of two heavies. Both Tall Guy and Neck Guy had disappeared into the bathrooms five minutes ago and
had yet to come back out.
The Boss, as Stefan
called him in his head, kept pausing
outside the bathrooms, where a sign proclaimed “Cleaning in Progress”. The waiting area was sprawling,
drafty and empty of all but a few diehards, probably those waiting for late
arrivals, which were mostly delayed, due to snow.
Stefan knew something
was going down in there and he fairly itched with the need to get involved.
“Not my circus, not my
monkeys,” he muttered to himself. Kyle would kill him if he got involved with
something that would call the wrath of MI6 down on them again. As it was, Kyle was trying to calm down the CIA after
the whole missing-scientist incident, and almost had them agreeing to take
Stefan back so that Stefan could hunt down whoever fucked up and exposed the
scientist they’d had under protection.
Three suspicious men
in a near-deserted railway station weren’t his problem. His problem was the
annoyingly entitled investment banker who was now safely on a train with his next bodyguard, on his way to London. A glance
at the board had Stefan wincing. He’d hoped to be
gone from the station by now, but the snow
was causing delays and some cancelations,
and the London train would be the last on the board scheduled to leave, four
hours late at nearly 10:00 p.m. The rest of the departures were listed with large signs saying everything
had been canceled. No wonder the station was empty. And yes, he was bored.
One thing Stefan
Mortimer didn’t do well, was sitting on his ass doing nothing. I’m bored. I need to get laid, and I need to
go home. Not necessarily in that order. He’d been stuck in the UK for going on half a year now, and, by
necessity, had slipped into working for Kyle at Bodyguards Inc. Not that he
needed the money, but he was a man of action, and sitting around with his thumb
up his ass was not the way he spent his time.
I love RJ Scott’s Bodyguard Series. Book 5 might be one of
my top 3 favorites of this series. I LOVE Kirby and I’m beyond grateful to
Stefan for saving him and the weens lol. This was a gorgeous love story. More
passion than suspense in this book but lacking absolutely nothing. This was
fantastically entertaining. Andy and Lou made me laugh and get all teary eyed.
Kirby…. Oh he is just the best! What a great character he is! If you’re not
reading this series, you really need to because it wins all the awesome!

Up until a few years ago we didn't put our tree up until after December 9th, that being our daughter's birthday. We wanted that day and Christmas to be two separate events for her. Now that she's a grown up and not living at home any more we usually do it the first weekend of December. I like having the decos up and always miss them when we have to pack them away again.
ReplyDeleteI used to wait until the first or second week of December, but now we go get trees with my in-laws who always go the weekend after Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWe've always put the tree up on Friday after Thanksgiving. Before my mom got sick we use to go the local tree farm Friday morning and cut down a tree and then when she got sick and was in the hospital they decided to get an artificial tree. But we always put it up that Friday and leave it up until the weekend after the 12 days of Christmas.
