Solid as Gold

by B.A. Tortuga

Chayce Fall just wants to play music, but someone out there has real problem with him. At least that’s what he assumes when the shooting starts at one of his concerts. Then the real problem shows up in the form of Waylon Hudson, a bodyguard hired by his mom.

Waylon expects Chayce to be a spoiled brat, but he finds a hot, decent man who isn’t necessarily the safest big name on earth, but he can’t imagine what Chayce has done to attract a stalker or a killer or whatever it is that’s going on here.

When he gets the chance to take Chayce into hiding, Waylon goes to ground, and he finds himself falling hard for the man. Can he keep Chayce safe and wrangle the fact that they have it bad for each other, or will he lose his shot at this solid gold man?

This is a fun and hot bodyguard MM romance. Previously published in a charity anthology.

The singer and the bodyguard !

Our famous singer, Chayce, and excellent bodyguard Waylon are a perfect fit for each other. Waylon straightened out the absurd schedule and scetchy safety concerns.
The stalker was hard to find, and everyone was nervous. The band needed some peace, too.
Waylon and Chayce hit it off right away, as his new bodyguard saw the issues immediately, corrected them and made the touring chaos controlled.
Their sexy times were awesome, super hot and satisfying.
ENJOY !

I loved this quick read from BA Tortuga! Not that anyone who knows me would be surprised by this. Her books are comfort reads for me. Chayce and Waylon have instant and combustible chemistry. Now Waylon just has to figure out where the actual threat to Chance’s life is coming from. This is an enjoyable story.

Fast paced romance!

A rodeo and music star has a stalker. Not good. But his new security chief is good and they hit it off hot and fast. Before we know it they are falling for each other. What about the stalker? Better read and find out!

Rating: 4 stars

This was a complete story despite being so short. I thought both MCs had great chemistry together. All in all an enjoyable read.

I liked the premise, poor execution in my opinion though.

For just under 90 pages, the story is hard to follow and felt like there was too much going on.

Pleasant fantasy but not high on believability, I think.
