This was a really good, fast paced book. Eve and Reid have known each other for a while and they have a crush on each other. Neither one knows how to tell the other. When a man comes into Eve’s bar and tries to hurt her Reid shows up. Reid stands by her side until they catch the guy who is stalking Eve and causing trouble. The end was amazing.

Reid Summers, former Marine, left the military and is working at Sunrise Security in Cloud Valley, Wyoming. He calls Eve Tilly, owner of Tilly’s Bar & Grill, a friend, but sometimes thinks that there might be something more growing between them. On a busy night at the bar, Eve is there by herself when her last customer, a stranger, accosts her. Luckily, Reid comes into the bar and the stranger flees. Unable to locate him, she hopes that he has left the area. When she begins to find small, wooden roses in her home and near her, she learns that the stranger is responsible for them and appears to be courting her in a weird way. Reid promises to keep her safe as he invites her to stay in his home. She feels safe with him, but how long can Reid be away from his job in order to protect her? Will he get tired of taking care of her? Reid has enjoyed his close friendship with Eve, but spending so much one-on-one time with her, has made him realize how much she has come to mean to him. When he believes that the stranger has found her again, will he and his team find her before he loses her forever? A beautiful friend to lovers’ romantic suspense with Reid facing his own feelings and past. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Personal Bodyguard kept me hooked from the very first chapter. Eve and Reid have known each other for years, and the slow-burn crush between them adds a great layer of tension right from the start. When Eve is attacked at her bar, it’s Reid who comes to her rescue—but the danger doesn’t end there. Her attacker escalates things, becoming relentless and increasingly dangerous.

I loved how their strong friendship naturally grows into something deeper as the threat intensifies. The twists and turns kept me guessing, and the elusive attacker’s continued pursuit of Eve raises the stakes at every turn, no matter what Reid and his team do to protect her. The chemistry between Eve and Reid slowly ignites amidst the chaos, making the romance feel earned and emotional. With nonstop suspense and a satisfying ending, this book delivers.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily leaving this honest, personal, and unbiased review.

Personal Bodyguard is a friends to lovers romance suspense story that kept me turning the pages!

Thank you to Harlequin for the ARC via Netgalley. All opinions are my own and given freely.

Eve and Reid have been friends for years. Friends with secret crushes. It isn't until Eve is attacked, that more than just Reid's protective instincts kick in. He won't lose her, in more ways than the one.

I enjoyed this story. The connection is there from the start as it slow burns into more. Not only is Eve's attacker stalking her, but trauma from the past comes knocking too. And I enjoyed seeing them work through it together under pressure. There was heartfelt emotion, a splash of steam, and "I got you" swoon. It's book two in a series but I got along just fine jumping in here. My first from the author and I would read more in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book..
This is the second book in the Sunrise Security series by Ms.Haas.
When Eve Tilly is attacked at her bar it’s Reid who comes to her aid: He comes in when things are getting bad, but not too bad. Eve if shaken up; and Reid will stay at her side. The only thing is her attacker doesn’t stop. He escalates things. Another incident happens, and it just might have something to do with her attack. Now the Sunrise Security is helping the police. Only Reid isn’t about to leave Eve alone for a second. They have a good friendship which turns into something more. A lot of things in Reid’s life that holds him back. First they must catch this guy.

Really good. Tragic, mysterious, and a some humor.

The second installment in Danielle Haas’s Sunrise Security series, and it delivers an exciting mix of romance, danger, and emotional depth.

When Eve Tilly’s life is turned upside down after a violent attack at her bar, her world collides with Reid’s — the dependable and protective bodyguard from Sunrise Security. Reid steps in to keep her safe, but what begins as a job quickly becomes something far more personal. As the threats against Eve grow more intense and unpredictable, Reid refuses to let her face any of it alone.

Their connection builds naturally, shifting from a strong friendship into a deep, heartfelt romance. Both Eve and Reid carry emotional scars that make it hard to trust and open up, but the growing danger forces them to rely on each other completely Loved their HEA.

Personal Bodyguard was a fast, engaging read with a great mix of suspense and romance. The friends-to-lovers dynamic added emotional depth, and I liked seeing Reid step into protector mode when things turned dangerous. The pacing kept me hooked, and the relationship development felt genuine under pressure.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin for the ARC.

The tokens were so creepy, but in a good way and the rodeo vender was an intelligent, creative way to get info on the killer. Funny, spicy, and suspenseful all in one. The ending was a little anti-climatic. She was stalked for so long only for it to be way too easy for the hero to save the day.

I want to watch this as a movie or tv show!

This hit the spot when I wanted a romantic suspense!! I loved Reid & Eve–these two have built a friendship since Reid moved to town. These two both had feelings they hadn’t acted on, and Eve being in danger made it difficult to avoid those feelings. I loved the twists and the suspense, I loved Reid’s protectiveness, and loved that these two found their happily ever after!
