Melody is a famous model and she has a stalker who has been sending some disturbing mail. However, it comes with the job, and most of the time it is harmless. If you ignore it, they will go away. There had been nothing to red flag the situation, that would cause her to believe that she needed to involve the police. Until she returned home, from a long trip away from a photo shoot. When she noticed the door to her home ajar. Now obviously, she never watched a scary movie in her life. Because she would have known, you never go into a home alone under such conditions, and, yet she did.

The only thing she noticed was that her bedroom window was left open. She knows she wouldn’t have done, that because she was leaving for the photoshoot. Now she had been talking to her friend, Veronica as she was driving home, and when she said something was off, she must have been the one that called her brother, Marcus to go check on her. With the way she hung up, it didn't give much detail, to, Veronica. When Marcus arrives he brings the biggest pain in her ass with him. Right away she is shaking her head, ‘No, not happening.’ Marcus is trying his best to give the right reply and or answer. Basically, he says he’s not playing when it comes to her life. Calming her a little not much.

His meaning is clear. That Lucas didn't become the billionaire that he is, by his good looks only. Meaning, that he is good at his job and has not only the best security system available but also he is the best to keep close and keep her safe. However, there is more at play than either of them can either guess. He has around-the-clock surveillance and he has to pull in other teams from out of town because there are so many players at a high level of deceit. And not only are you dealing with her the high profile celebrity, but also a model. She also has a political father and rich mother, and her brother, his best friend. Is the mayor. Yeah, it's complicated.

Then there is the pesky ex that just won’t ever go away. Especially, when her mom and brother keep encouraging him. I have to say, that both Melody and Lucas frustrated me because she was always *itching, that she wanted to continue her life as usual. As if no one was out to harm her. Where Lucas kept saying, ‘This is for your safety’, instead of, ‘We are trying hard to save your life. You know from someone trying to kill you.’ I still don’t get what sparked, Marcus' attitude toward his best friend over his sister. Considering she is twenty-eight. Good story.

The lead girl character is ridiculous

She's one of those people in a movie you love to hate. I was sitting for the stalker at one point.
Lucas is trying to do hid job but its not very professional to seduce your client....but this is fiction.
I liked the mystery, drama, intrigue, romance and violence.
I don't know if it was meant to be this way but I knew who the stalker was very early in the book. Information was dropped but not shared (common theme in these books).
Toward the end the good guy and bad guy are fighting...they each have guns. The female lead character picks up a rotting stick, why? Because she is going to help!

It ended better

Really enjoyable read. Melody and Lucas can't help the pull they feel for one another but Melody is concerned about the fact that Lucas is her brother's good friend and thinks it would be a bad idea to be involved with Lucas. Lucas is drawn to Melody from the beginning and will do anything to protect her. Very entertaining story with a wonderful HEA.

⚖️⚖️ONE ENGROSSING TREAT⚖️⚖️
Slewing slaps Sal! Jessi doesn't hold back with this spicy little number, delivering such heat, hotter than a blazing inferno and more explosive than dynamite, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. Stumbling through a minefield of infuriating drama, intense intrigue, damning deeds, chilling danger and electrifying suspense. Tempting, tangled and tightly entwined, baring the vexing quirks and defying bents, putting our characters through their paces, testing them in ways they could have never envisioned. The magnetism, attraction and chemistry collides with such intensity, exposing deep emotions, drawing our characters closer binding them to one another perfectly. The characters, dialogue, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits, blend and flow, transforming into genuine outstanding personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and depictions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Remarkable job Jessi, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I liked the book.
It was well written and who Melody needed protection from was a well-executed twist. I liked the "hero," Lucas; I found him to have a lot of depth and I think he was a very well-written character overall. My one issue with the book was Melody herself; I get wanting to be an independent woman and not wanting to give up your life but she has a stalker and there was an incident severe enough for her to land in the hospital. At that point, you are just burying your head in the sand and not taking it seriously. Lucas had the right of it when he pointed out that if she doesn't take it seriously she won't have a career or a business because she will be dead. I just found her whole outlook on the situation to be unrealistic; there were several really serious incidents with the stalker and she still refused to acknowledge the danger she was in and the danger she was putting others in with her denial.

Melody is a famous fashion model. She is representing a fashion line and trying to start her own fashion boutique. She also has a stalker issue. After her house is broken into, her brother hires his best friend Lucas, who owns a security company, to be her personal bodyguard. Lucas was in Secret Service and has his own trauma. Melody is independent and Lucas wants to be in control. They don’t see eye in eye. But there is also undeniable chemistry between them. When the threat is escalated, Melody has no choice but follow Lucas’s lead. As they finally give in to the attraction and cross the professional line, neither believe what they have will last. The plot is quite complicated. The mad man behind the stalking has a very weak logic to do so. Melody is a beautiful and bratty woman and wants everything going her way right away. It is hard to be sympathetic to her struggle. Lucas seems to be a likable guy, family oriented and works hard to get to where he is. He just seems to like models, not your average woman.

This was Bodyguard/Client Brother's Best Friend and Close Proximity Tropes.
Melody is being stalked and her brother wants her protected. So he asks his best friend's security company to guard her.
This leads to Lucas being her bodyguard.
As time goes by their connection is getting stronger and they're not just fighting a stalker by their feelings for each other too..
Can they survive this whole ordeal? Is HEA in their future together?
Great read and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

I very much enjoyed this brother's best friend/bodyguard story. Sweet, romantic and suspenseful.
Melody has a stalker and her brother hires Lucas who runs a security business.
There was load of action, a few suspenseful moments along with a great romance.
The chemistry between Melody and Lucas was strong and only built as the story went along.
Well written, with a exciting plot. Very well done!.

Melody is a model with a stalker. Her brother hires his best friend, who is CEO of his own security company to watch out for her. Takes a bit for the two to open up but once they do, the deep feelings surface and the skyrockets ignite. Plenty of action, suspense, danger, twists, steam, entertaining situations and chemistry. Great characters and great friends to back them up. Well done ending.

Jessi always gives us wonderful stories, and this I like from beginning to end. Melody is a girl who is used to doing things her way, but has a stalker and her brother hires his best friend Lucas as her bodyguard. The situation between them is not easy. I totally recommend this reading.
