Sawyer and Cam have landed as one of my favorite couples ever! Their chemistry is a perfect blend of discipline and riot of color! Their story has the suspense, heat, love, intensity and humor you expect from a Logan Chance book, and he brought up a notch (which is saying something his books are already top notch)! This book is high on my you have to read this!

Every once in a while I meet a book that I devour but want to savor at the same time. Logan Chance’s use of metaphorical language paints the beautiful depths of life-humor, heartache, vulnerability, meaning and love. Camille and Sawyer’s journey was a masterpiece of sensuality meets suspense which had me totally invested. Camille finds herself thrust into a world she didn’t ask for full of threats, danger, and betrayal. Sawyer is a man whose mission becomes something he didn’t know he needed. Awesome book you won’t want to miss. Looking forward to “a monolith and a hurricane” finding their way in the next book. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I loved Sawyer and Camille. I hurt for Sawyer towards the end but it was much needed. I'm so glad the BRAVO team from Maddox Security are getting books. The chemistry was good and it was well written.

I very much enjoyed getting to know the men of Maddox security and am so excited we get to spin off with BRAVO team! First up is team lead, Sawyer Maddox (cousin to the boss, Dean)

Sawyer is serious, hardworking, loyal-but has a softer side. His newest assignment is to guard Heiress Cam-a free-spirited artist with a big heart- who has been receiving threats.

I enjoyed this start to the series, the instant attraction and chemistry between Sawyer and Cam is evident and so sweet. These two fall hard and fast, but focus on maintaining their professionalism. This leads to high tension and cute lingering looks and shared moments. Sawyer has the best protective vibes and every bit the hero; isn’t messing around when it comes to Cam safety. Cam may have been a bit stubborn and resistant to protection at first-but quickly realizes her feelings for Sawyer have her lowering her guard and trusting him and his plans.
I loved watching these two connect and bond the more time they spent together.

There was a touch of suspense, mystery and action in this which made for a fast-paced read. The romance, steam and swoony moments mixed in were a great! These two are a little opposite and I liked how Cam shook things up for Sawyer-they are so good together.

It was fun we also got to meet Riggs in this one, which has me excited for his story and the rest of the series.

Sawyer and Camille

The Men of Maddox Security books started with the boss, Dean Maddox. Now his cousin Sawyer Maddox and the BRAVO Team get a series. Book 1 starts out with Sawyer himself.

Sawyer is a given an assignment to guard Camille, an artist, and the daughter to a rich eco father. Her father has an IPO coming soon and Cam has been receiving threats. Enter Sawyer. Sawyer and Cam have an instant attraction, which hmm, could have built up to it a bit. With a big Gala ahead, and threats still coming in, Sawyer and Cam out their feelings aside, to not distract one another..or so they try. But the threats continue to escalate and Sawyer needs help, enter BRAVO Team. We especially get to see a bit of Riggs, which was good to set up the next book. Then, an incident happens and Sawyer and his Team must put all the clues together to find out who is behind them.

This was a good start to the series. I already mentioned the insta like, which isn’t my favorite, but it’s fine. This is a pretty short read so quick pace and entertaining. There’s a few issues with how certain things happen, especially after BRAVO Team set up the security. This is for fun and with that, I did enjoy the book.

Logan Chance has a way of keeping his readers entertained and boy does he keep us on the edge of our seats with a whole new Maddox team. Get ready for the Bravo team, a group of men ready to protect, guarder nad get in the line of fire for their women. We start with Camille and here is a woman who see's life in color and may possibly be the only woman to really get Sawyer to even crack a smile. These two are so opposite from each other yet in many ways they actually balance each other. Sawyer is all about order, seriousness and most of all a workaholic where as Cam is totally opposie in many ways. She see's life all in rainbow colors never thinking about outside the colors and definitely never seeing black and white like Sawyer. The thing is these two are stubborn as heck yet they are seeing that it's more than chemistry between them. Have to say Logan Chance and his Maddox men are becoming a favorite of mine. Full of broodiness, stubborness and most of all when they go above and beyond for their woman it's really hot. This is a whole new Maddox team and can't wait to see who is next on the table.

I'm loving this 1st book in the spinoff series from Men of Maddox Security. Sawyer—former Navy EOD tech who is Dean's cousin is first up in the exciting new series that follows the Maddox BRAVO team.

Sawyer is tasked to protect heiress/painter Camille “Cam” Kingsley who has been getting threats. She's doesn't take the threats seriously but when they escalate that's when
her father hires Maddox Security. Although Cam is a socialite she's a free spirt at heart and rather be in her studio with paint on her clothes and nails than decked out for a party. All she wants to do is paint and continue her mother's legacy unfortunately there's someone determined to stop her from that dream.
The moment they meet you can feel the pull between them. They try to keep things professional then the threats push them even closer. It's a fast paced well written action suspense with mystery, danger, manipulation, betrayals and steamy passion. I loved how Logan brought the story to life with the detailed description of her art and his interpretation.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this series leads with Riggs and Vanessa story.

Fantastic start to the new spin-off series

Sawyer is the first book in The Maddox BRAVO Team series. This is a great start to the new series that promises to be filled with action, romance, danger, suspense, possessive and protective men, and smart and interesting women. This story is about Camille “Cam” Kingsley and Sawyer Maddox. They are opposites but they definitely attract...to each other that is. She is a free spirit at heart but born into a rich society family. He is an ex Navy OED tech, who knows how to protect and serve. When Cam starts to receive threats her father hires Maddox Security to protect her. The assignment is given to the newest member of the team, Sawyer. He is Dean Sawyer's cousin, who owns the company. Sawyer has a plan to protect Cam but can he protect his heart when it starts to only beat for her? Cam falls for the big, protective, and sexy man who seems to set more than her soul on fire.
This book is so good. It is smart, witty, fun, has suspense, danger and action, along with a lot of sizzling chemistry and passion. Loved the writing, the story-line and the characters. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

This book was a fun mix of action, romance, and some seriously swoony moments. I liked the whole “grumpy protector and free spirited artist” dynamic between Sawyer and Cam. Their chemistry was strong, and I was hooked pretty quickly. Sawyer is the kind of guy you want watching your back, and Cam added a nice dose of charm and chaos. The suspense kept things moving, and the whole Bravo Security Team vibe was cool.

That said, I didn’t totally love everything. This was my first Logan Chance book, so maybe it’s just his style, but the constant painting metaphors got a little old for me. Like, we get it, they’re falling in love and she’s an artist. Also, I wasn’t a fan of how Cam shut Sawyer out after everything he did for her. He didn’t deserve the cold shoulder.

Still, overall it was a solid read. It was a mix of danger, heat, and a protective guy who falls hard.

I received the ARC via BookSprout, and this is my honest review.

This is Book 1 in the new Maddox Bravo Team Series.

I loved this book. The emotions. The feelings! , their chemistry was off the charts from the first meet that you actually felt the heat.

I loved Sawyer and Cam together.
Cam is such a free spirited breath of fresh air no fuss kinda girl …..
Then we have Sawyer who is assigned to keep Cam safe from threats that have been made.
Protecting people is his number one job easy peasy for him right? ….. well not this time. keeping his heart out of the equation seems to be one of his hardest assignments yet especially when things take a turn in this nail biting emotional story.

This author knows how to weave an intricate story together that leaves you feeling so good by the end! With just the right amount of angst and Oh My God!!!! What just happened in there.
Can’t wait for book 2 in the series to come out.
I highly recommend you tune in and one click this ASAP.

Bravo team for the win! I loved it!
This story is a great start to the new Maddox Bravo Team series by Logan. You always get the romance along with the mystery of his stories. I love the fact that Cam is a strong female character. You don't find those in many romance stories. Cam and Sawyer are perfect for each other. I like how Sawyer took an interest in what Cam does with her painting. He actually understood what she was conveying with those paintings as well. You could feel. The chemistry between them.
If you enjoy a story that pulls you in from the first chapter and holds on to you until the very end, then this book is for you. If you enjoy a story with ex-military, hot and sexy men who are loyal and protective, then this story is for you. Logan did an amazing job with this story. Another well-written story by Logan Chance! Don't pass this one by. Grab yours today. I promise you'll love it! This one deserves more than five stars.

If you have read any of the books in the Maddox Security series you will know how good they are but this next series is starting off with a massive bang. I loved this book so much and I loved how Logan Chance was very descriptive especially when it came to Cam’s paintings. In my eyes the story was told via paintings and brushstrokes and it held a beautiful and sensual feel about it. Cam and Sawyer were perfect in every way but their story was one of love and living life. Yes we have did some danger and drama, and that is what brought Sawyer and Cam together, but that felt like a secondary story as compared to the story of Cam and her painting and teaching. Bravo team series is off to a flying start and I am so excited to see what Logan Chance delivers next. Highly recommend any books by this author.

Sawyer and Cam’s story is colorful to say the least. The blend of mystery, passion and suspense kept me intrigued the entire time. I absolutely adore Sawyer and the commitment he has to both his job and personal life. Cam is a woman that is not easily persuaded to change route, she is confident and strong. Having these two start out this standalone series was the perfect decision. There were moments where I thought I figured it all out only to read a few chapters further and find out I was completely wrong. I feel that is what makes their story even better, the author keeps us thinking and on our toes. I enjoyed how we get a taste of the rest of the team as well and how they work together. Riggs definitely caught my interest, I’m excited to hear his story which is next up in the series to be released.

Sawyer works with Dean Maddox, he's his cousin, the team are contacted by Cam's father as she's been receiving threats which have escalated.
The moment Sawyer meets the paint splattered beauty he's smitten, but work first.
It appears that the threat has an insider but thorough can't find the person.
Meanwhile Sawyer is finding it more and more difficult to remain professional.
As the threats increase more of the team are needed. Who is causing all the problems and how do they know so much?
The action between Sawyer and Cam is great. He's learning and understanding her painting. She feels safe and protected but not smothered by him.

Sawyer’s background in the Navy made his security position at Maddox a perfect fit. When he is entrusted with protecting Cam he has a few challenges to overcome one being the fact that she doesn’t want protection and the second being the feelings he is developing for her which is making it very difficult to keep their relationship personal.

Cam has difficulty believing the threats she is receiving are anything more than a ploy even if those around her don’t agree. She doesn’t believe she needs protection even if she finds the man tasked with guarding her enticing and intriguing however they are about to find out the danger is much closer than they thought.

The chemistry and connection between Sawyer and Cam is undeniable even thought anything personal should be off limits as the intrigue and surprises amp up.

SUSPENSE-ACTION & FIERY ROMANCE

Sawyer is a romantic read with witty banter, raging emotions, gripping suspense, action, heart-tugging moments, fiery romance, and a twist you wouldn’t think of. Character interaction is engaging, and breathtaking scene descriptions kept me eager to learn what happened next. 

Sawyer Maddox retired from the military is now working for the Maddox BRAVO security team. His job is protecting Heiress Camile, aka Cam Kingsley who has been receiving threats. Cam is a feisty beauty painter who finds her handsome bodyguard bossy. She believes the threats are nothing to worry about and needs no protection. Join Cam and Sawyer to learn how they achieve their happy forever.

An enjoyable read with a believable romance and a great storyline. Loved Cam and Sawyer as a couple. I received a pre-release copy and look forward to the next book in this new series.

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. Logan Chance's stories are always amazing to read but he definitely outdid himself and brought this story to life- the metaphorical language and art painted such a vivid imagery of human emotions of fear, vulnerability, rage, heart, betrayal, love and so much more, that my emotions were shredded and stitched back as the story progressed.

I love how Cam processes her emotions from the threats she receives through her art, it was raw and beautiful and real. And how Sawyer understood and complemented her, being her 'line'- the shield but not the cage, protecting without suffocating her. Their love and HEA and epilogue was beautifully and unabashedly their own.

What an amazing way to be introduced to Maddox Security’s BRAVO team. Camille Kingsley is a world renowned artist who enjoys giving back to the community especially children. She is also the daughter of a rich CEO. Camille is complacent about the threats to her life to the extent that her father hires Maddox Security to protect her.
Sawyer Maddox, is the cousin of company founder Dean Maddox. While in the military, his specialty was EOD. His job was to protect and move on. That is until he met the woman who added color to his life.
Full of color, suspense, and mutual attraction Sawyer will explode into a color palette of finely woven lines and angles that will warm your heart. Sawyer is a definite must read and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

The first book in the new Maddox Bravo team series by Logan is here and is now my new favorite book of his! Sawyer is tasked with protecting Cam as she is receiving escalated threats. The chemistry between these two hits immediately and adds another layer to this story that makes you not want to put the book down!

What made this book rocket to the top of my favorites list is the incredible imagery that Logan uses when describing Cam’s paintings and techniques. You can see, very clearly, what she is doing and the painting comes to life in your head. And like you come to expect in a Logan book, the characters are relatable and easy to fall in love with. Cannot wait for more books in this series

Sawyer is everything you expect from top-level security. He takes his job very seriously and doesn't want to fail the client. When he gets assigned to protect Camille Kingsley something changes. As soon as Cam and Sawyer meet the chemistry is instant. They try to keep things professional but soon enough professionalism isn't working. Sawyer wants to be with Cam but can't lose focus or risk her getting hurt or worse. When Sawyer finally learns the truth behind the threats it's jaw-dropping. Will Sawyer and Maddox Security be able to make Cam feel safe again before its too late? Will the bad guys ever face the consequences?

Sawyer is the first book of Mr. Chance's new series, Maddox BRAVO Team and it is a hit. We are given two people who are opposites. Sawyer is a grumpy rule follower who tries to keep his head on straight and then there is Cam, an heiress who is anything but an heiress. He wants rules and she loves to live life to the fullest. Sawyer's job is to keep her safe but when forced proximity is involved, sparks fly and lines are crossed. She pushes his buttons, he tries to keep his distance but the pull is too strong to ignore. She breaks through his armor and goes straight for his heart. Danger, suspense, love and protection are all wrapped up in this exhilarating story that will have you wanting more, so you just have to keep reading.

I absolutely feel in love with this book, the emotional suspense, the romantic twists and turns the author throws at you to have your heart wrenching for more until the very end. Sawyer signed on to protect someone that was being threatened and after meeting Camille his whole world changed. He knew he had to protect and love her from a far until the job was over. Camille has always beat by her own drum compared to her father and what he does. Meeting Sawyer turned all her emotions up and she couldn’t hold on for the ride long enough. The turn in the story that lets you know who’s behind it all will make your heart break but Sawyer stands by his word and does what she asks until the very end. Cant wait to read Riggs and Vanessa’s book that will be in for a crazy ride.

I have mixed feelings about this read. Sawyer made me chuckle with all his tactical thinking. Cam made me cringe. For an artist and adult she had serious childish behavior almost airheaded. I tried to warm up to her but just couldn't. Yes it was horrible what her father did but how she treated Sawyer afterward was horrible. I felt so sorry for him. She pushed him aside yet wanted him to be there for her. If I was Sawyer I would've just walked. He gave her space ok space for what he didn't do anything wrong but try to protect her and love her. Yeah not my favorite book.

It seems in Maddox Security and this new series Bravo it's the same theme. Stalkers, kidnapping etc. I hope Riggs story is a little better.

I’m obsessed with all the men of Maddox Security, and Sawyer is everything I love in a hero—former Navy😍, fiercely protective🫠, and always ten steps ahead.

Cam brought the chaos in the best way😬, and watching her shake up Sawyer’s world was so much fun.

The danger is real, the pacing is fast, and the chemistry? Explosive🔥. Bullets flying, threats escalating, and one very determined bodyguard trying (and failing) not to fall for his client.

Logan delivers heat, heart, and high-stakes action in this one. I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough—and I’m so pumped for the rest of the Maddox BRAVO team!

Talk about starting a new series with a bang.
Sawyer is ex military, bomb expert, who now works for his cousin Dean.
He's giving an assignment to guard a socialite artist, who's been receiving threats.
Came doesn't want a guard. She's a free spirited artist, with a very busy life. This whole thing is is an inconvenience, and "soldier boy" is cramping her style.
The chemistry is hot and fast. The threats are becoming dangerous. The mystery is intriguing.
This story has spice, snark, beautiful imagery, danger, betrayal and angst. It's a roller-coaster ride of feelings and emotions. It will leave you breathless.
Thank you to Logan Chance for the advanced copy.

Sawyer is an amazing read about a bodyguard and a spunky artist. This is Sawyer and Camille’s story and I love how sweet and protective he is towards her. Their story has a little suspense with a twist. They both worked together in finding out who is threatening Cam and why. I love their chemistry and how they just click from the beginning. I love how we got to see Dean and be introduced to the other Maddox security team, which I’m excited to get to know and hope they too will have a story. I really enjoyed their story and can’t wait for the next one.

Sawyer is charged with finding out who is threatening Camille. She is a painter and the daughter of a CEO so a prime target. As threats continue they become more dangerous and point to someone in Cam's house with insider knowledge. I had my own theories but was definitely taken aback as the story unravelled. Meanwhile Sawyer struggled to maintain a professional distance from Cam and eventually failed as the chemistry between them ignited. However, Cam needed time once the threat was over to reconnect with Sawyer after she found out who was originally behind her threats to her safety.
