Guarding Her #3
Edge
It was supposed to be a normal job. Another tour with another superficial singer.
But the first time I put my hand on her lower back, it was over. Leave it to a five foot nothing, blonde haired, blue eyed pop princess to knock me on my ass.
I’m not the only one who wants her though. But in the end, I’ll be the only one who gets all of her. Because while everyone else is screaming her name, she’s moaning mine.

The first time Anna tried to read a romance novel, her hair caught on fire when she leaned over a candle to sneak a peek at her mom’s Harlequin. She thinks being hit on the head with a shirtless Fabio until the smoke cleared is what sparked the flame for her love of romance.
Anna was born in Wisconsin, but currently lives in Texas with her husband and two boys. She writes sexy romance that always has a happy ending and loves bringing characters back for cameos. Less than six degrees of separation connects any of her novels.
When she’s not writing or reading, she’s watching reruns of her favorite romcoms, talking to her dog and cat like they’re human, eating carbs, or practicing hand lettering.
She loves to hear from readers and can be found on social media as @annabrooksauth everywhere.

3.5 Making Things Better Stars
* * * 1/2 Spoiler Free
In this current world of ours, we see all these celebrities, actors and musical talents through this filter of perfection...With Instagram, Twitter, and any other social media happening, it is out there for all to see how these "stars" are living large. But when things actually come down to it...No one really knows what is going on behind the scenes. What deals were made for the exposure, who is fronting as boyfriend to promote the next single and who has wrapped their greedy hand around a singer with threats and intimidation...
With this entry, Edge (Guarding Her #3) by Anna Brooks all of these elements are under the microscope. This is part of a series, however, I did not read any of the other books and never felt lost.
This opens up with Wes having to deal with an emotional experience of his own. He has just confirmed he has been betrayed and humiliated for years by his childhood sweetheart and is confronting the situation...it is not the prettiest way but he feels it is necessary to get the point across.
Three months later and we are sitting in on the meeting with his next client. Wes is part of the Royal Ace Security company and they are the top of the line in their field. They do political targets, heiresses and superstars who are in need of their full range of services. They do not come cheap because they are the real deal...covering any need a client may have.
Sitting across from the owner of the company and Wes is superstar Quinn. She is a triple threat; pop star, actress and dancer. She has been at this for a very long time and has a huge following. She recently had a stalker break into her house and hold her at knife point. She is terrified it will happen again and her Manager/Aunt has made light of it. Quinn has taken a huge step by coming to Royal on her own without Gail knowing. She is that frightened.
As Wes sits and listens to what Quinn is saying while observing her, he realizes something striking. This woman is nothing like the images and stories put out there. She is sweet, a bit shy and very kind. She is a star but it would be easy to confuse her with another in how interested she is in what they are saying... her ego is not out of control and her questions are perfectly sensible.
But there is something else happening behind her eyes which is making Wes concerned...something that shows more than the normal fear of a stalker situation...something she is dealing with on a day to day basis.
Wes takes over from the start informing Quinn of how things are going to go done from here on out. He explains she goes No Where without him. Period. All security concerns will be run through him.
When he has his first exchange with Gail, Quinn knows sh!t will hit the fan. Gail took over raising Quinn when her mother died and has been controlling her ever since. Quinn has been the golden goose for Gail and she is not about to let anyone cut her out...not even a huge alpha like Wes.
As things adjust and adapt to the new security ways Wes has instituted, Quinn and him get closer and closer. She touches his soul in how much he wants to protect her. He sees how she has been manipulated by Gail and wants to stop it... but there is something Gail has over Quinn and Quinn feels helpless to share what it is.
There is a closeness and kinda insta feel between these two and before you know it, Wes is losing his professional stance and falling hard for his client. He will stop at nothing to protect her and make her his.
This had all of the alpha romance, suspense, villainous twists and serious sexy times readers like. It did have a bit of repetition in how he was not going to let anything happen...but over all it was a security focused tale to enjoy. There were added sub-plots and insight to the other guys with Royal to perk interest in their books.

Quinn is a singer, after suffering a break in a very personal attack in her home that has left her with nightmares and fears for her safety, her controlling Manager/Aunt brushes it off and wants Quinn to carry on 'business as normal' but Quinn cant... she calls in Royal Ace Security.
With Wes and his crew on the scene, she feels a lot safer and the lines between bodyguard and boyfriend begin to blur she finds herself happier than she could ever have expected.... but secrets from her past and his return to play havoc in their developing relationship....that is already under pressure from the outside influence of her Aunt and her ongoing Stalker Problems.
Quinn was sweet and naive and Wes was experienced and hard ( with the right amount of gooey marshmallow centre that all book boyfriend MUST have!) their relationship was wonderful to read and as it developed it just got better and better....the build up of chemistry between them was just fantastic and I loved that Wes took his time with Quinn, knowing and recognising the trauma from her attack but not letting it take control of her life...The angst, trauma and revelations ( both Quinn and Wes') were not gratuitous and I found them to be natural to the story ( which was brilliantly delivered ) from start to finish.
I loved that Wes' situation with his ex...( im being vague here on purpose...without giving away spoilers because #NOSPOILERS! ) it was refreshing to have a males perspective on a problem that so many women suffer with, mentioned in a book!! so bravo to the author for treading that path!
This was a stonking good book, I haven't had the pleasure of reading the other books in this series but I will defiantly be going back and reading them. despite not having read the others I was able to dive in and pick up the story quickly, this book can be read as standalone and I literally devoured it in one go.

This was a good read. I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so fast paced before, so it was a little weird to see how quickly things were progressing and the MC’s fell for one another within the first few chapters.
But, Anna Brooks’s writing is good! She did it in a way that didn’t feel cheapened to the reader for missing chunks of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and now I must go back and read her previous Royal Ace Security novels.
We have Quinn, a mega pop star, who was assaulted in her home by a crazed fan. Because of this, she decided to seek the help of the Royal Ace Security company because they are known as the best in the business, and her manager/aunt refused to see the danger of the situation. This is where she meets our alpha Wesley.
This book was pretty action packed, and I really enjoyed that aspect. We’re taken through the ringer in trying to find the man who wishes to kidnap Quinn and keep for himself.
I hated Gail. I don’t think I’ve ever despised such a character before. She was a manipulative, physically and mentally abusive woman to her only niece. Every scene she was in had me wanting to shove my hands in through the book and yank her by the hair, lol.
Overall, it was good read. The ending definitely leaves you wanting to delve into the next book with the following Royal Ace Security.
I’ll be keeping a look out for that.

“Thanks, but I’m the lucky one. Never met anyone as beautiful as her, Wynn. And not just what you see; what’s beneath it all is what’s the most beautiful to me."
Quinn Valentine is a sensation in the music world. Although young, has a beautiful career, fame and money. To the outside world she is the epitome of achievement and happiness. Too bad appearances can fool you. Quinn is extremely unhappy and her life is hell. Her mother died, her father is absent and her aunt and manager physically abuses her, makes her work for hours without rest, she does not remember the last time she had a full night's sleep, and blackmails her. If not all of these problems were enough, she was attacked by a stalker in her own home and he is still around promising he will return.
After this attack, Quinn goes against her aunt and decides to hire specialized security guards, this whole episode made her afraid and with some anxiety attacks. Having someone twenty-four hours a day at her side leaves her a bit safer.
Wesley has been working as bodyguard for a long time, and in accepting this new case, he thought he would find a superficial and spoiled girl, a true music star. When faced with the complete opposite, a naive, sad and clearly neglected young woman, he might jeopardize rule number one of his profession: do not get involved with a client.
Edge has a good story, a romance between people from different worlds always has its appeal, Quinn and Wesley are good characters, you end up cheering for the couple. What I did not like was the excess of plots, many ideas mixed in a single book. We have the world of music, with its entrepreneurs, media and harassment, we have the bodyguard, a biker, his club and the rival club, a boyfriend of adolescence who films an intimate moment and blackmail, a stalker that did not convince, a pregnant ex, a turnaround in the death of the mother and a villain neutralized very quickly. Many plots that could have been reduced and focused entirely on the couple and the stalker's threat.
Wesley is the best part of the book. He is loyal, responsible, focused, committed to his work, but he can not help but notice the rude way in which Quinn is treated. Even after a betrayal in the past, he does not shut down for love and realizing that what he feels about Quinn is more than friendship, he does not shy away from his feeling and goes after the woman he loves.
Quinn irritated me at times. I understand that the character is naive, but sometimes she was simply annoying. Subjected herself to all her aunt's wishes for fear when she could ask for help from her father, I could not understand, as well as everything she did to keep Wesley away because she thought he would have a child instead of talking and believing him.
Overall, it was a good book, the main story is good, catches the reader and provokes interest, but could have been better developed. This excess of references got in the way.

Review by Lisa Kane
Wes works for Royal Ace Security. He's just had his world turned upside down by his cheating girlfriend. The one he grew up with, the one he trusted and wanted to marry. Now his latest assignment is to guard a pop singer who's being stalked. Good times.
Only Quinn is not some spoiled diva, she's a good person, with a good heart. But she's surrounded by vultures. Especially her aunt Gail who's also her manager. That woman is just pure evil. But she's family and Quinn feels indebted to her...not to mention there are some secrets going on.
Quinn brings out the protector in Wes, this is not just some job to him. But they are from very different worlds, so how could anything work between them?
Edge has some sinister twists and turns, lots of steam and a well thought out plot. Perfect summer reading!

EDGE by ANNA BROOKS is book Three in the Guarding Her series. This is the story of Quinn and Wes. I have read the previous books, but feel this can easily be a standalone book.
Quinn is a young pop star who has a stalker so much so that they needed to call in a body guard. This is were Wes enters into her life. Wes who is still sore from a breakup goes in with the misconception that Quinn will be just another diva pop singer who his business usually guards. But he finds himself with someone who is totally different and he is instantly attracted too... Quinn also feels the attraction. But Quinn has other issue besides the 'stalker' her Aunt Gail who is also her manger. Quinn has a mixed up relationship with her Aunt that works to impact her relationships and career.
Enjoyed reading their story!

I enjoy Anna's writing and I find each book in this series getting better. In this one we have a pop princess and broody body guard. This is an insta love story, but come on you have to expect that with our alpha book boyfriends! The amount of things throw at our couple individually will keep you engaged. The bad guys are easily identifiable, it's how our couple deals with it that is the story. I really enjoyed this read and can't wait for more from the crew.

This is the 3rd book in the series (but totally a stand alone). First book I've read from Anna Brooks. I really need to go back and read the first 2.
Wes is a super hot bodyguard with a cheating girlfriend. Quinn is a pop princess with a controlling Aunt/manager and a psycho stalking her. From the beginning Wes felt very protective of Quinn! 😍. He helps her with so much more than just protecting her from the stalker. This book has a lot of passion, drama, action and a little suspense. I really enjoyed it! Great story. Page turner. Did I mention hot bodyguard? 🤤. Totally recommend this book!

Wesley makes the best book boyfriend! Dibs!
This is super sweet and adorable but yet real too. They fight, they laugh and they argue some more.
It's up and down with the stalker popping out when you least expect him.
It's unpredictable enough to keep you glued to the pages that fly through your hands.

Another awesome book in this series!
This is Wesley’s book. After being cheated on his long time girlfriend, he gets a job guarding famous singer Quin Valentine.
Quin has a stalker who has attacked her a few months before and hired Royal Security to keep her safe.
Love it! The suspense and the protectiveness of Wes.
Quin at times worked on my nerves with her insecurities. But I understand with the life she had, she would be like that.
Can’t wait for more of this series.
4,5 stars!

Wesley is a bodyguard who has caught his girlfriend Eva cheating on him. Now three months later he is ready to get back in the swing of things and has found himself with a new job - protecting singer Quinn Valentine from a stalker.
Quinn Valentine is a pop singer whose life seems to be controlled by her aunt Gail. She controls what Quinn does and even what she eats and she freaks if Quinn does anything that is different from what she has demanded.
When Wesley sees how Quinn is treated he soon learns there is a different side to her that he wasn't expecting. Will Wesley give in to his attraction to Quinn and will Quinn finally have someone to take care of her the way she deserves?
This is another great book in the series and I am really enjoying this one!
I thought Wesley was a great character and I loved that he was able to get rid of Eva at the beginning with how she treated him. I loved how possessive he was over Quinn almost right from the beginning, especially when he saw how she was treated by Gail.
Quinn was interesting in that part of her was strong yet she wasn't able to stick up for herself when it came to Gail and she let her walk all over her and control every aspect of her life. I loved when she began to live her life due to Wesley and how he treated her.
I wondered right from the beginning about the stalker and I figured out the connection but that being said I still really enjoyed watching everything go down!
I was definitely shocked by what Quinn's dad revealed at the end!
Loved the ending and I can't wait for more in this series!

Book Review: Edge (Guarding Her book 3)
Author: Anna Brooks
FIVE STARS
I have read everything that Anna Brooks has written. I own them all on Kindle and have many paperback copies as well. To say that I am a fan of her writing is an understatement. Being an avid reader, it takes a lot to turn me into a fan and well, Anna Brooks is homed on the shelf right next to Nora Roberts and Jeffery Deaver in my collections.
I purchased these books because well, Anna Brooks, DUH. But, I was not at all prepared for the words or the depths of the feelings I would encounter in this series. The main characters, while being all ALPHA males, are swoon-worthy in their own right.
In Edge, we are introduced to Wesley and Quinn.
Quinn is a pop-star and she is having some issues with a stalker. Her current manager/aunt is not hiring the proper security and Quinn is taking her safety into her own hands.
Wesley is determined to not let anyone get close to Quinn. Even her own aunt.
Both hiding pasts that they don't want the other to know, can they face the issue of Quinn's stalking head on or are things going to just get too far out of hand?
Yet again Anna Brooks has written an amazing book. One that you cannot put down.
I binge read the three books in one weekend and I am not sorry for this. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Can't wait to get the next one.

Quinn is a pop-star and she is having some issues with a stalker. Her current manager/aunt is not hiring the proper security and Quinn is taking her safety into her own hands.
Wesley is determined to not let anyone get close to Quinn. Even her own aunt.
Both hiding pasts that they don't want the other to know, can they face the issue of Quinn's stalking head on or are things going to just get too far out of hand?
Yet again Anna Brooks has written an amazing book. One that you cannot put down.
I binge read the three books in one weekend and I am not sorry for this. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Can't wait to get the next one.

This book to me was reminiscent of the movie The Bodyguard. Wes is on the top of his career with a successful security business that prides itself on being top notch. The company caters to the rich and famous and its clients are always "A" listers. Wes has been with his high school sweetheart for years and that relationship has recently ended.
Enter young pop star Quinn. Quinn has recently been attacked by a crazy fan who is stalking her and feels that she needs the best and Wes's company is just that. Her manager, Aunt Gail, is one evil person and on more then one occasion I would have liked to throttle her. Quinn and her have a very unusual relationship and you find out the ins and outs of that as well.
Naturally hot bodyguard meets hot pop star and there is chemistry. This book moved at lightning speed and so did the relationships. If you know me at all I kinda loathe insta-love so that was definitely a drawback. Also the part Quinn's Aunt plays in this storyline at times was just a tad bit far fetched. Despite these two facts the storyline was good and it moved quickly.

Edge is Wesley and Quinn’s story and it is my absolute favorite of the series so far!!! There was just something about these two that I could not get enough of! They were perfect together from page one!
Wesley is one of Royal Ace Security’s finest body guards, well they all fine lol, but Wesley was just a little special to me. When he takes his most recent assignment to guard the super famous Quinn Valentine after a brutal attack he thinks it will be just be a normal average much like any other assignment… Well that couldn’t be further from the truth. The minute he sees the real Quinn he is pretty much hooked. He tries really hard to keep things to business as usual, but it simply doesn’t work out that way.
Quinn had me from hello. She is such a sweet girl and so easy to love. Then we get to know her and while everything appears to be sunshine and roses on the outside, we learn the poor girl really has been given the shaft in life…. She really doesn’t realize just how much she needs Wesley’s help until she has it.
These two were just great together. The way Wesley protects and loves Quinn and she lets him all while not changing who she is was fabulous. This was just a great story from beginning to end. It had just the right amount of angst, swoonworthiness, lol moments and steam that made it perfect for me.

This book was pretty good. I absolutely love Wesley and Quinn.
The storyline was great, I think it was quite suspenseful and a definite page-turner. The only thing that I have to pick about this book, and it's quite a big one, is that I feel that characters' emotions are not written deep enough. They only feel on the surface, only do things on the surface. The writing is just not complex.
I'm doing a terrible job of explaining what I'm trying to say.
Let me try and give an example using two sentences.
1) "I know," she said quietly.
2) "I know," she whispered, hiding her face in her hair.
Sentence two is better, right? Because of that little extra bit of action. The whole book was kind of like sentence one. There were some sentence twos in there, but the majority just felt like sentence one.
I hope that kind of explains what I'm trying to say. I just feel like it could have been so much better. It had so much potential, but it just fell flat for me.
But I will definitely be reading future books in this series, because I absolutely love all the guys at Royal Ace.

The story of Wes and Quinn was FANTASTIC!
A few months after finding out his on again off again girlfriend, Eva was cheating on him, Wes finds himself with a new contract at Ace Security. Personal Bodyguard to Quinn, a famous singer.
Wes' first instinct of Quinn is that she is a spoiled, rich diva who only cares about herself. He soon realizes that she is not who he thought and begins to fall for her.
Quinn has had a rough go at life, an absent father growing up, a mother who dies when she is a teenager, a vindictive Aunt who runs her life and a stalker who attacked her. She is drowning in all her life obligations and only feels like herself when she hits the stage and sings for her fans.
Meeting Wes changed everything for Quinn. She finally found someone who was will to defend her, make her feel safe and most importantly, love her. Quinn is soon falling for Wes as well.
They of course hit some bumps in the road along the way with the stalker and the ex-girlfriend, but come out on top in the end.
I LOVED this book and cannot wait to reach more from this series!!!

This was my 1st book in this series and by Anna Brooks. Her writing was easy to get hooked on, and the charaters kept me interested throughout the book.
Wesley is hired to guard Quinn Valentine, a singer on tour, who is currently being stalked and blackmailed. Their connection and chemistry are apparent right from the start. Quinn is guarded, not being able to trust anyone around her. When she is performing she has a different persona than when she is in her normal life. Wes sees though the facade and wants to protect her and finds his way into her heart.
Throughout the book, Wes helps to take out the threats against Quinn, and in the process they develop a deep bond. I felt like I knew the characters and were rooting for them, and for Quinn to get a normal, peaceful life. The twists and turns throughout the book keep you hooked. The book moves quickly, and it was a very fast read.
I will definately read more from Anna Brooks as I enjoyed her writing style and the theme of this series.

Edge by Anna Brooks is the third book in the Guarding Her series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the other books in the series as well! Edge is my absolute favorite out of the three so far. It hooked me from page one and I could not put it down. Ms. Brooks has grown so much as a writer and it was shown throughout this story. Wesley and Quinn’s journey was full of explosive emotions and moments that had me on the edge of my seat.
Successful popstar Quinn Valentine had recently been attacked and now has a stalker on her hands. The crappy security she has isn’t enough so she hires Royal Ace Security and in walks Wesley. A broody sexy alpha that oozes confidence and whose touch electrifies her. Their attraction is instant. But Wes has a job to do. Will he be able to catch her stalker without crossing any lines?
Absolutely LOVED this book! The writing was excellent and the characters stole my heart. I am so excited for the next book in the series!!

I LOVE this series! It just has EVERYTHING! There's the fully fleshed out characters with backgrounds you can pick out certain things to relate to, there's the falling in love, the funny sweet banter, the background characters, the HOT scenes, I can't pick out a favorite thing because so much of what I look for in a good book, this series checks EVERY box! The world this author has built is amazing, I want to run away to it, she has done such a great job making it so real, I can see it and feel it when I close my eyes. That is the absolute BEST feeling from a book, if I can forget myself for a while, its well worth it. I loved Wes, he's totally my kind of hero. And Quinn, she is perfect for him, and he DESERVES her after all that Eva nonsense! I loved the suspense and the action too, it really kept me turning the pages. Next comes Gio's book and I am SO looking forward to it because I'd say he's my favorite of the bunch, but for sure Wes is a very close second.

Edge was even better than I thought it would be and I had pretty dang high expectations here! Sweet and sexy with a bit of drama and suspense to keep you glued to the pages even more. I love how swoony all of Anna Brooks’ heroes are, and Wesley is no exception to that. I was immediately drawn to him, and fell so hard for him the moment he met Quinn.
The instant attraction, magnetic chemistry, and Wesley’s natural protective nature that ramped up even higher with his connection to Quinn made for an addictive romance. With as much sweet as there was heat I couldn’t get enough of these two together! Quinn is nothing like I expected for being such a huge celebrity. Not only is she down to earth and kind, there’s also a shy innocence to her that made me just adore her.
The heartwarming love all coupled with the mystery and suspense of Quinn’s stalker along with just the right amount of drama to add more depth to their lives created a book that I couldn’t put down for a minute!

I was given a free copy for an honest review.
this is book 3 of a series but the first one I have read and it's fine to read without the others. This is Quinn and wes story. A singer and a bodyguard. Told from duel POV.
I really loved the characters Wes is hot, protective and all around a really great guy and his interaction with his family really made me like him even more. Quinn is a strong female for all she has been through although she seems a little list with all her troubles she comes through everything.
The romance is very instalove but it works well in this book so I didn't mind it. There's a few common romance obstacles in this story but it's ok I don't think they made too much of an impact overall to ruin the main story. Which I think was really good and made the bodyguard character relevant.
I will be picking the rest of this series up. The characters are great and I really enjoyed the writing style of this book too.

Guarding Her is an Amazing Story!
I am such a huge fan of Anna's stories and her newest series. The stories are very enjoyable to read and they all have a HEA ending. The men of ACE Securities are the true factor of Alpha male. They are loyal, trustworthy and willing to die for the woman who catches their heart, provided the women actually does as instructed to keep themselves safe from harm.
You take Quinn, who is a musician, sprinkle in a very bad stalker who is obsessed with her, then the opportunity to bring in Wesley, the bodyguard, and you stir and mix it with Anna's amazing talent and you have one very well written story.
I love happy ever after stories ❤📚
I will highly recommend this book to my friends and family members.
I received an ARC of Edge and in return I gave my honest review. ❤ 5 stars from me.

Wesley is a bodyguard who took on Quinn’s case. Quinn Valentine was a young singer who’s aunt controlled everything she did. From her home to her crazy nonstop schedule that kept her busy and not well rested. When a man/stalker comes into Quinn’s house she took it upon herself to hire better bodyguards and security. Wesley was bored and saw so many things wrong right away from her house lacking any type of security to how her aunt was treating her. Quinn was all alone in the big world. Her mom is dead and her dad is part of a motorcycle club that doesn’t know his her father. Things happen and Wes sees more of Quinn than anyone. They become friends and feelings start to begin for both of them, but her aunt and the stalker are always around. Will there ever be freedom and peace for her? Can Wes help her? You need to read this book.

Amazing book! I love this series. Every book is really good. So well written. The characters are stellar. And I just can’t ever put these books down.
Edge is Wesley and Quinn’s story. It is sooo addictive. So many intense moment. Super hot too.
Quinn decides she needs to hire better security when things become out of hand. Her manager doesn’t think this needs to happen. She hires Royal Security, and Wesley becomes her bodyguard. Quinn has some major crazy things occurring while Wesley and his team are there to protect her. All the while trying not to fall for each other.
As I’ve said, every book in this series is really amazing but so far these two are my favourites. Make sure you grab this book and the others too!
5/5

This is the third installment of the Guarding Her series and I believe the books just keep getting better. Wes has his world turned upside down when he learns of his long-time girlfriend has been cheating on him. After that he is assigned to guard a pop star who is being stalked. She is not the diva he is expecting. Quinn, the pop star, and her manager, her aunt, have a strained and strange relationship. Her aunt/manager doesn’t have Quinn’s best interest’s at heart and works her to the bone. This is where Wes steps in and over rules her. The chemistry between her and Wes is undeniable but Wes wants to keep their relationship on a strictly professional level. Quinn has snuck under his defenses and wormed her way into his heart. But Quinn is still being stalked, will Wes be able to stop the stalker in time to prevent Quinn from being hurt further?

Edge by Anna Brooks
This is the first time I’ve read books by Anna Brooks herself.
I’m not quite sure how to sum this book up because there is something about this book that makes me feel things. I want to love this book but I feel like the writing was too plain. There wasn’t enough description or in my opinion emotion that made me want to keep reading.
I did think that they had a connection with each other, that part I don’t deny and I love how Wesley takes care of Quinn and vice versa but for me I feel like the story is stale at times. There’s action but it doesn’t feel like enough to make me love this book.
All in all the story is okay but the quality in some ways could be better.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book. This series is off the charts! What an amazing ride of emotions with Wesley and Quinn. These two are explosive, when they meet the sparks fly, but Quinn is a job and Wes can’t let this cloud his judgement. He’s there to protect her from a stalker and he needs to keep his head straight. His first impression of her is not what he expected her to be, she’s sweet, shy and just down to earth nothing of a diva he thought she would be. There is suspense, drama and they both deserve to be happy. Loved this book, no spoilers from me. This is a must read and if you haven’t read any other the rest of the series, what are you waiting for ladies?
