Surrendering to My Protector

by Autumn Price, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

My mentor, a billionaire twice my age, is eager to protect and provide, but I’ve worked too damn hard to accept handouts—especially when it would cost me.

As I approach graduation, my only focus is securing my future. No distractions, no detours—just hard work.

So when I’m invited to an exclusive networking event, I know this is my chance to make connections that could change my life.

I just didn’t know just how much.

Que in Oliver Lane, the billionaire CEO of a leading tech company. He’s protective, a little too sunshine, and maybe even obsessive.

His life is full of privilege, while I’ve had to struggle to get where I’m at.

Sure, I’ll take the paid internship but I have no interest in accepting his charity.

And although we're from opposite worlds, our chemistry is now becoming undeniable.

Falling for Oliver puts all my hard-earned success at risk. And giving myself to him just wasn’t in the plan.

But now, with another opportunity on the table, I'm left to confront the challenge of pursuing my career dreams while grappling with a love that could change everything.

Before reading the excerpt, the title made me think this was a bodyguard type of romance, but that's not the case at all. This was more of a corporate world romance with two very strong, independent, and smart main characters first fighting themselves to not give in to temptation, and then fighting together to keep each other. Autumn has excellent skills at making the steamy scenes practically melt the pages. If you like books that show all the risks that have to be taken when love complicates life, this one's for you!

I liked this book,the plot points were great with really compelling storylines and characters from two different worlds. The internal struggle of the fmc who has fought tooth and nail for everything she has and has to many walls to ever accept help from someone with more privilege,especially someone like the mmc. Under his sunshine facade is a man who just wants a place to really be himself and to have someone who challenges him instead of just feeling like a paycheck. I think you'll really love this story!

This was Oliver and Riley’s story. Riley’s mentor, a billionaire twice her age, is eager to protect and provide, but she’s worked too hard to accept handouts—especially when it would cost her. It was an interesting read. And am voluntarily leaving this review.

I enjoyed this steamy age gap, office romance. Oliver and Riley had a connection right away. There were fun moments throughout. Great story that eventually brings them to their happy ever after!

Simple Happy Ever After

Sweet romance that could stronger with more substance. I knew how it would end from the beginning. The characters are not quite believable.
