Review
I was
given the honor to review the first six books in The Bodyguard Series,
by RJ Scott. While this review may be a tad longer than my normal
reviews, I will try to convey each book with the sheer awesomeness that
each story along with characters brought me.
The
first book in this series is Bodyguard To a Sex God. The title
alone screams hot, but nothing compared to the sinfully hot bodyguard
Adam --that is asked to take on a client that just happens to be an
American actor. Which to Adam does not sound like the most appealing
detailed job.
Logan
is anything but happy knowing that when he lands in the UK, a
bodyguard has already been assigned to him. He is an actor, they get
letters and that close call with the SUV could have just been that... a
close call. Even though secretly, he has been jumpy lately. To Logan, all
he wants is to be able to finally come out of the closet and hope that
his acting career doesn't take a nose dive. However, when the two meet,
lines begin to blur. The real threat becomes love between to different
men living in two different countries.
Book
2 in the series is The Ex Factor, which was a little more emotional
for me to read. Ben Collins works for BI (Bodyguard Inc) and is one of
four bodyguards that is hired to work on set of what Ben refers to as
" the god-awful X Factor rip-off show". A job that he can't wait to
leave. The only plus side to it is that he loves the possible 3rd runner
up Daniel Lincoln. A mystery man, to him, since Lincoln seems to shy away
from everyone including him. But when Daniel can't be found for dress
rehearsal, Ben finds him hiding and looking a mess, chalks it up to he fell
and must be on something but leaves his card with him.
Three
months after the show had ended, a call comes in, cryptic message but
it's for Ben degrading Daniel. What Ben finds changes everything.
Daniel
has lived in fear and secrecy for so long he doesn't even know
himself anymore. Abusive relationships are hard but it's even harder it
seems when it's a man. I feel that in the eyes of the law
they don't see a man as a bantered individual. So Daniel's story showed a lot of those misconceptions. It was beautiful how Ben and Daniel's
relationship unfolded.
Book
three in the series Max and The Prince, which held both comical as
well misguided consequences to their story. Max is anything but what he
looks like on the outside. At first glance he can easily pass for as
young as 21. He isn't that tall and doesn't really seem all that
intimidating. Too bad for the person that misreads Max. Former RAF
pilot, ex Air Force and two tours overseas.
Prince
Lucien isn't your typical prince. He has been through so much and
actually left to go to University so that nobody knew exactly who he
was. However, someone knows he is there. Letters keep coming and so far
there has been one death that could be connected.
Max
and Lucien have a battle of the wits when it comes to them personally.
The threat comes even closer to them both when it hits another person
that goes to the University.
Book
four Undercover Lovers, was the story that I personally could not
wait for and was beyond excited to finally be able to read it. This
story was about the American owner of BI and his PA, Ross. As long as the
series has been going no one really knew who Kyle the owner really was.
All they knew was that he was an American that had inherited the mansion
and started BI and was madly in love with his PA Ross.
Kyle
kept his past right where it belonged... in the past, until he got a phone
call from his ex-partner and former military friend. With all his
bodyguards on other assignments he has no choice but to take Ross on
this assignment and hope he doesn't blow his cover and let his true
feelings show.
Ross
is super excited to finally leave his desk and play a undercover role
with Kyle. The man he has secretly lusted after since he was hired. He
never acting on those feelings because he loved his job so much and
wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that.
However,
going undercover as a married couple pushed them both into uncharted
territories. Both afraid to let love slip but unsure how this will affect their working relationship but when their assignment is compromised, priorities shift.
Book
five Love Designs, picks up from where book four left off. With the
assignment compromised, Stefan is now stuck in the UK until they find out
where the leak was in the US. While he is grateful to his old friend
Kyle for giving him side work while he is waiting, he longs to get back
to his life. Things change for him in the blink of eye while waiting in
nasty winter weather one night at a train station. Stefan intervenes in a situation
that not only changes his life but the life of three others.
Kirby
has had nothing but himself to rely on since he was 16 and kicked out
of his family for his sexuality. His past haunts him but he has done
more for himself since he was that scared 16 year old kid. That was up
until two weeks ago when his younger brother found him. Now he is on the
run with two little kids and a brother that he isn't sure if is alive or
dead with barely any money.
Now
with the help of a CIA/American Bodyguard they both may find out that
family and love mean more than how your past defines you.
The final book that I read in this series was book 6, Kissing Alex.
Lewis
Nevin was nothing but irritated when he was asked to look after a
member of some boy band on his month vacation. He knew absolutely
nothing of the band or the guy he was to protect but he assumed he would
be some rich pampered diva. Against his better judgment and of course
the money that would come in handy he took the assignment.
Alex
Cartell was beyond frustrated with the turn of events that was his
life. It was okay that he was labeled the only gay man in the group, as long as he didn't have a sex life. How was he to know that that
one hook up was being taped and now somehow he was involved in some plot
that could possibly get him killed. Now he was being flown to some
remote Island with the biggest turd of a Bodyguard, judgemental much!
Alex absolutely fell in love with the Island.
Slowly,
ever so slowly, all the misconceptions on both sides start to fall
away. Soon the two men find a common love not only for the island but
for one another. He has so many what if's of what his life will be life after he isn't a target. That is until an ex finds him.
