Her Bossy Bodyguard Billionaire

by Annie Paige

Matthew Hale—my boss, my best friend, and now my pretend lover?

Suddenly, my life is a romantic comedy, but the punchline is my pounding heart.

He insists on being my bodyguard, claiming it's not just about the job—it's personal.

I've always found him attractive, but a girl like me can't be more than friends with a rich, dreamy guy like him... right?

Yet, here we are, faking a relationship to throw off my stalker, and his touch feels dangerously real.

His protective instincts are a temptation I can't resist.

In this tangled web of lies, the lines blur between pretend and reality.

But can I trust that his feelings for me aren't just another act?

This book was a great short read! It’s about two friends Matt and Stacey. Matt is the CEO of a bodyguard company he built from the ground up. Stacey who works at his company as an account director. Stacey’s apartment gets broken into and Matt has her stay with him and talks her into letting him be her bodyguard while they try to figure out who was behind it. They end up in a fake relationship that turns real. Stacey can’t believe Matt is in love with her with body size and shape, Matt who has been in love with Stacey for over 10 years. They race against the clock to find out who is after Stacey, and going through the beginning of their relationship. I definitely recommend if you like friends to lovers. It’s short and has some spicy scenes.

OMG this is a great book and I loved it. It was a page turner and the suspense was intense and with a bit of drama. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t even imagine of put it down. Matt and Stacey were best friends but somehow it would become more complicated in this moment of their friendship. It was a heartwarming experience as they try to figure out to where do they go from here. But the temptation and physical attraction was highly intriguing and tension between them. The chemistry between was so strong and steamy hot. I highly recommend this book and you won’t be disappointed.

This book was a quick and fantastic read.

Matthew runs a security firm and hired his best friend, Stacey, to be the account manager assistant. When the account manager leaves, she applies for the account manager position and is promoted to the position.

The previous account manager left to start his own security firm and is poaching employees/clients.

When Stacey's apartment is broken into and she is being stalked, Matthew goes into protector mode. He insists that she stay at his home so he can ensure her safety.

When they finally narrow down who the stalker is and Stacey comes face to face with him the showdown is on.

Find out if there is an HEA and what happens to the stalker.

Matt owns a security company and sets up bodyguards for people who need them. Stacey works for his company. Unfortunately someone breaks into Stacy’s home and Matt goes into over protective mode. He wants Stacy to stay with him, not just to keep her safe but because he’s been attracted to her for a while. While living together they become intimate and begin a “fake relationship “. I love the fact that Matt seemed to fall first. I like when it’s the MMC who is hung up on the FMC and wants to be with them. Matt was possessive, warm and protective over Stacy. The story moved fast and had some suspense, action and spice.

Can he catch her stalker in time and what happens when Matthew admits he wants more than friendship?.

This is a book in the Her Bossy Billionaire Series by this author. It is a friends to lovers romance between Stacey and her best friend, Matthew. These likeable characters, the strong connection, the sizzling chemistry, and the unique plot make for an entertaining read. What starts out as a fake relationship turns into something more. It is a sweet love story with some drama, mystery, suspense, twists and turns, and appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An engaging page turner.

Her Bossy Bodyguard Billionaire is a smokin hot slow burn romance with a nice blend of action, intrigue, and desire. The main characters have been best friends for years, each secretly crushing on the other and both afraid to cop to their true feelings. The impetus to break that wide open is sweetly crafted, and the situations they find themselves in could most definitely be real. I enjoyed this quick read.

Great book and storyline. I just wish he would have actually proposed to Stacey in the end instead of saying he has the ring in his pocket, but it still had a ring of romance to it. ❤️ This is another great book to read though and what better way to start off your holidays than by reading this book.

Set aside a day for this steamy contemporary friends-to-lovers urban mystery set in Miami where Stacey Ellis has taken over as Account Director for the Hale Premiere Personal Security Agency when less-than-competent Timothy Simmons left.

A Really Nice Story

This was a fun book to read. I loved the characters and the stress they worked through to finally realize that they both wanted the same things out of life. There were a few twists in the story that certainly kept it interesting. Once I started reading it , I read it straight through. Her sexy friend didn’t hurt to keep you interested either.

[Coffeeandpages · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely in love with this book! It has all the right amounts of suspense, thrill, romance and how can we forget spice!!
Who doesn't want the company's CEO to become her personal bodyguard?
Definitely hopeless romantic me!!
This book doesn't disappoint! I highly recommend this book. It is also such a short read. It could definitely also help with getting out of a reading slump!

[Jacqueline Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great short story , the evident connection of the characters is strong from the start , and how the story strengthens them is great , his protectiveness is endearing. And his love for her shines through

[Bernita Strickland · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love how people being best friends can fall in love with each other and not know what’s happening until after! Matthew and Stacey have no idea how their relationship is going to change from being best friends and becoming hot steamy lovers. This book will have you coming back for more!

[Karen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This entertaining and enjoyable Romantic suspense has drama, danger, a stalker, and defined MCs who are friends and work together. The MCs have chemistry, fake a relationship, and have a possible HEA.

Mmmmmm.

Stacey was an idiot. There is no way that Matt wouldn't/shouldn't be extremely offended that she trusted him so little after all that time. I've seen characters be nieve but this was over the top. It really took away from the story.

[Jing-Ting Chan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this through in one sitting. Loved the characters send the story really drew me in.

[Rose winters · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, but would have liked the mistake she made toward the end to not be so obvious as the MFC up to that point seemed to have better common sense but other than that I really enjoyed it <3

Good story

Steamy moments! Mainly a love story between 2 people who each think the other doesn't /couldn't love them. Best friends for 10. Years. Who will confess first?

[Victoria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Best friend. Billionaire. Boss. Bodyguard. Too many tropes for my personal preference. Spice was good though.
