Tired of being caged, she decides to leave one night, escaping her known bodyguards, to experience some freedom. Jack is a hunky bodyguard hired by her father to follow her at all times, so luckily he is there when things go sideways at a club. She doesn't want to go home so he takes her to his cabin. Can he keep her safe? The chemistry between these two was explosive and we got an amazing HEA after the drama.

Her father wants to keep her caged like a bird, while she wants to soar like an eagle—and Jack has to keep both of them happy!

Charlotte "Charlie" Freeman can hardly believe what she's about to do. She's bought herself an LBD where the top is cut way down to there and the skirt is cut way up to there. She's pairing it with bright red lipstick. But the most scandalous part is that she plans to ditch her bodyguards.

Her father is bigwig Senator George Freeman. She's tired of being trotted out for perfect pictures of her perfect life. For once, she just wants to have some fun. Is that too much to ask? Apparently so, she soon learns.

She's at a budget hotel an hour outside of D.C. No paparazzi has spotted her. She's rarely out of her father's sight. She's never been able to attend a sleepover, and at age twenty, she's never ever had a boyfriend. But she does usually have five to ten bodyguards accompanying her everywhere. Well, not tonight!

She escaped last night with a suitcase she packed months ago, a big wad of her allowance, and her camera. Her camera is the only thing she has left of her mom.

She just wants a week, or two, of freedom. So with fake I.D. in hand, she's off to party. She has a cab take her to the nearest club. But as she walks inside, it's too much—too loud, too hot, too much perfume, tobacco, and sweat, and too many people, along with too many strobe lights. It was a mistake to come here.

But after a gorgeous blonde woman collides into her and almost knocks her down, she notices how the woman and the other gorgeous woman with her seem to act as if they own the dance floor. That's how she'd like to act. She decides to go to the bar and order a drink.

As she's sipping her terrible-tasting drink, a man across the room waves to her. She surprises herself when she waves back. Then a man approaches her to ask for a dance. He's disappointed but turns and leaves when she declines. The next guy isn't nearly so nice. He appears to be drunk, but then he calls her Charlotte and grabs her. It's then she feels the gun tucked under his jacket! She's ready to claw his eyes out—she may not know what he plans, but it's not good. As she's telling him to let go of her, he's suddenly ripped away from her and lying on the floor in obvious pain.

That's when she looks up into the most beautiful blue eyes she's ever seen. Although he calls her Princess, just like the newspapers do, she doesn't mind him doing it. He grabs her hand and hauls her out of the club.

Jack Steele has been following her since she left home. He's been ready to drag her out of that club since she entered. She thinks she's blending in, but she sticks out like a sore thumb. However, in that dress, she looks nothing like the demure daughter her father keeps under lock and key or the perfect photos the newspapers publish.

Charlie doesn't realize the types of threats her father has been receiving lately. He knew she'd probably try to run away before too much longer. That's when he hired Jack to follow her. He's not to explain who he is unless it becomes necessary. After what happened just now, it may be necessary.

It's not safe to return her to the hotel. She refuses to return to her father's. So, there's only one safe place left—his cabin.

Charlotte “Charlie” Freeman has lived her life as a political prop—smiles for cameras, careful words for reporters, and a team of bodyguards who make sure she never takes a single breath unsupervised. When she finally runs from her father’s suffocating control, all she wants is a night of freedom—just one taste of a normal life. But the world outside the cage is far more dangerous than she realizes.

And that’s where Jack Steele comes in.

Jack is the kind of man who fills a room without saying a word—calm, capable, lethal when he needs to be. He’s hired to keep Charlie safe, but when he looks at her, he doesn’t see a senator’s daughter. He sees her—the woman behind the headlines, behind the rules. The woman who deserves to be seen, touched, loved.

When a night of rebellion turns into a fight for survival, Jack breaks every rule he’s ever lived by. He crosses the line between protector and forbidden desire, and once he does, there’s no going back. Their chemistry isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, raw, real. Charlie finds freedom not in running away, but in being seen through Jack’s eyes. And Jack? He finds something he didn’t believe he deserved—a reason to fight for more than duty.

This story isn’t just about danger and desire—it’s about trust. About learning that love can be both a shield and a surrender. About realizing that sometimes the cage we’re trapped in isn’t made of walls, but fear—and the right person can be the key that sets us free.

Cassi Hart crafts a romance that’s protective but not possessive, sexy but soulful, and full of the kind of moments that make you forget to breathe. The scenes between Charlie and Jack pulse with vulnerability and heat, their connection built on quiet strength and unspoken understanding.

By the time the story reaches its heart-pounding conclusion, you’ll be cheering for Charlie’s courage and Jack’s devotion—and maybe wishing you had your own big, brooding bodyguard who calls you Princess and means it with his whole heart.

He was hired to protect her. He never meant to fall for her.

When Charlotte, daughter of a powerful senator, runs from her world of guards and rules, she just wants a taste of freedom. But danger finds her fast, and the man sent to bring her home, Jack, isn’t just any bodyguard, he’s a former Navy SEAL with a past he can’t escape and a promise he never planned to break. Until her.

Thrown together by circumstance and bound by growing desire, Charlie and Jack fight the pull between them. What starts as protection becomes something deeper, something neither of them can walk away from. Their connection is fierce, electric, and transformative, blurring the line between duty and devotion.

But danger doesn’t fade when love takes hold. As threats close in and old scars resurface, Jack must choose between doing what’s right and protecting the woman who’s become his world, while Charlie learns that freedom isn’t about escape, it’s about choosing who stands beside you.

Jack and Charlie evolve through fear, trust, and vulnerability. She grows from restless and sheltered to brave and self-assured, and he learns that love isn’t weakness but redemption. Together they move from protector and protected to true partners who see and save each other in every way that matters.

A steamy, forbidden, age gap, bodyguard romance exploring control, freedom, love, trauma, healing, identity, power, vulnerability, and redemption. It’s about breaking the walls built by fear, finding strength through love, and learning that true freedom comes from being seen, protected, and loved exactly as you are.

For some reason, this book read differently for me. I couldn't connect to it or the characters. I get that Charlotte 'Charlie' Freeman 20, daughter of a senator, lives in a fish bowl, or bird cage, constantly being watched everywhere she would go. So she needed protection. And the one night she breaks free, to have fun and go to a bar, it brings in an exclusive bodyguard, unknown to her, former Navy Seal Jack Steele. It started well enough. But something happened as soon as Jack took Charlie to his cabin. To keep an eye on her or to have her alone. Probably both.😝 I have no idea how old Jack was.

There wasn't enough banter. I didn't feel these 2 were getting to know each other at all. Jack had his past military issues but it wasn't explored. Charlie never expressed about her mother or how she used photography as an outlet. There was no character development to it becoming this emotional attachment. It was OTT, insta-heat and basically... smut.😂 Which seemed to be the main focus. That's fine but then... The Daddy kink came into play. I'm not a fan. I didn't know it was going to be utilized before, during, and after intimacy. It was constant. Also, Jack used the endearment Princess as often as Charlie used the term Daddy.lol Good girl praise. It became, cringy. There was no substance outside the physical. It's a shorter story but something was missing for me. Happy reading. *•>§<•*💟💟💟

Charlie has been under guard for a while now, as her father is a senator with people after him who want to take him down. It makes Charlie a prime target, but she doesn’t take the threat seriously. One night, she runs away, determined to experience what it would have been like if she hadn’t been constantly under guard.

When going to a club turns out to not be the experience she hoped, and a man tries to make her leave with him, another very hot, very skilled man saves her, then drags her out of the club and into a cabin in the woods.

Because nothing bad ever happens when a woman is dragged to a cabin in the woods, right?

Luckily, Jack, the bodyguard whom her father hired to keep her safe while she rebelled, is not about to let her run again. He’s irritated with himself that he finds her attractive, but their chemistry is undeniable, and he can only hold off for so long.

And of course, our naïve little princess thinks she knows better than anyone else, and makes a very stupid mistake. Don’t worry, though, this story has a happy ending, and Charlie learns that “freedom” isn’t what she thought it was.

Jack and Charlie definitely burn brightly, and so quickly fall in love. I hear a lot of people bemoaning instalove romances, but I’m here to say that it only takes a moment to fall in love. What you do from there is up to you. Thankfully, Jack and Charlie decided to keep that love burning.

A great novella about a young woman who runs off due to her father’s protective behavior that’s suffocating her during this time she meets a man who winds up protecting her and soon she finds out that he’s there because her father is watching her.
The two start having feelings that neither one wants to deal with but in no time they become intimate. They become intimate again after they get up in the tub. The next day a call comes from her father informing the man to bring her back home but in no time another call comes in that he has to take.
Having a panic attack due the fact that she has to go back she goes outside with her camera when she is grabbed in the woods. The man finds her gone and it doesn’t take long to find her. They leave to take her back to her father when they get there they talk to her father. Knowing he can’t have her he lets her go.
Thinking about her that man goes back to her only to find out that she’s missing, he finds her soon after. Her father talks to them and leaves them alone.
Two years later the two are married and she works as a photographer. When she gets home from work she’s surprised that the man’s home since he’s to be gone on an assignment from her father but he came home early. After being close she tells him about the surprise she had for him. They’re happy about the surprise as well as with each other and are in love, forever.

This is book two in the author’s Bigger Alphas series and features an absolute sweetheart of a man, though he didn’t quite come off that way in the very beginning, he really was.

When Charlie, the senator’s daughter, snuck out for a week’s break away from the mansion…the bodyguards…the reporters…the MONOTONY of being “the princess,” she was determined to do all of the things she’d never been allowed to do because of who her father was. When someone attempted to grab her on her first night of freedom, a tall, powerful (gorgeous), man stepped in to rescue her and then HE took off with her. Only this time, Charlie didn’t seem to mind too much that Jack was kidnapping her…

This was an awesome read. I loved Jack so much, he was adorably sweet and how much he loved Charlie was obvious. Everything he did was because he loved her and wanted to keep her safe.

I really wasn’t ready for this book to be over quite so soon, it was so good that I could’ve happily kept reading and that’s not usual for me; normally I’m ready to get finished with what I’m reading so I can find something new but not with this one. I honestly can’t recommend this book highly enough and hope you’ll check it out—it’s amazingly good! 5 stars

Short but addictive so hang on you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned. Charlie is tired she lives as a political prop for her father but also he is too controlling smile for cameras, wave for the people, if you must speak with reports watch your word although they prefer her not to speak to any reports and so because of her life everywhere she goes a team of bodyguards make sure each breath she takes is timed literally. She just wants one night of freedom out of the cage her father constructed for her so the moment she gets a chance she runs just for one night. Jack sexy as all get out tad bit scary bodyguard, he is lethal if needed but calm for the most part and hired to keep senator’s daughter safe but one look and he sees the behind all the political, the rules a woman who deserves a life of her own. But her one night of freedom doesn’t go as planned in fact it ends with her fighting to survive happy Jack is there to protect her but also it allowed them to be honest about their feelings for each other but will they be honest with her father, with each other, will she finally demand her freedom away from it all, and can she find happiness while still supporting her father?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Protective, Passionate, and Perfectly Addictive!

Big Bodyguard by Cassi Hart is the ultimate mix of danger, desire, and devotion. Charlie’s yearning for freedom and Jack’s fierce loyalty collide in a story that’s as emotional as it is steamy. From the first page, I was hooked—Charlie’s frustration with her sheltered, high-profile life is so relatable, and Jack’s brooding protectiveness makes him completely irresistible.

Their chemistry? Off the charts. Every moment between them pulses with tension—whether it’s a stolen glance, a heated argument, or a heart-stopping kiss. Cassi Hart nails the “forbidden bodyguard romance” trope with intensity and heart, giving us a story where every risk feels worth it.

Jack’s internal battle between duty and desire makes him the kind of hero you can’t help but fall for, while Charlie’s courage and vulnerability make her a heroine you’ll root for until the very end. The danger, the emotion, the heat—it’s all here, wrapped up in Cassi Hart’s addictive storytelling.

If you love protective alphas, daring heroines, and emotional depth with your spice, Big Bodyguard is a must-read. This Bigger Alphas series just keeps getting better!.

For Charlie, an escape from her world with a father as a State Senator was what she so desperately needed. Unknown to her, she was still being watched....by Jack, a Bodyguard that took his job seriously, and that was to protect Charlie at all costs!
When she is almost taken from the club she was in, Jack intervened, taking her to a safe house. A secluded cabin in the woods!
And Yep sparks do fly. It is not stated their ages, but I am assuming a slight age gap as Jack was a Navy Seal, and now working for an elite company as a bodyguard.
Charlie still lived at home with her father, who kept her hidden and well guarded. He knew she had escaped and hired Jack to keep tabs on her.
Charlie liked what she saw of the blue eyed man of steel, who had definitely saved her from an abduction.....AKA Jack Steele!
As sparks flew and before Jack knew what he was doing, he was taking Charlie's innocence....He knew there and then that she was his. Insta Love: You have to love it!
How do they tell her father? Jack doesn't, and he walks away, leaving his heart with Charlie.
A great read and a tender (albeit smutty) Epilogue leading to a very HEA!!

**Sexy Bodyguard!**

The second installment in the Bigger Alpha series is titled “Big Bodyguard.” Charlie, the daughter of a senator, finds it challenging to live her life freely, constantly burdened by the presence of bodyguards. Enter Jack, who has been secretly guarding her for over a week at her father's request, without her knowledge. From the moment Jack laid eyes on Charlie, he felt a strong connection and knew he was meant to protect her from the unknown threats and dangers lurking around her. When the time comes for him to act, he’s right by her side, taking her to safety. As they find refuge in Jack's cabin, their attraction and chemistry become undeniable, leading to an intense and passionate connection between them.

This is a classic instalove story filled with age gap romance, bodyguard suspense, and an extra spicy daddy kink that ultimately leads to a happily ever after. What more could you want from a fast-paced, easy-to-read story that you can finish in one sitting? I thoroughly enjoyed this short series and look forward to more installments in the Bigger Alpha series!

I enjoyed Charlie and Jack's story because in my own opinion she should've been in the loop when it came to the threats that were being sent to her father or the fact she could've been target at all. Unless she was aware of the threats and she was being ignorant which is possible, but I also get her need for air to breathe instead of being locked in their home which would've possibly been a target to take out both her and her father at some point. I like that her father eventually opened up about why he was trying to keep her locked down in the cage that is her home because to Charlie her home didn't feel like anymore at some point for her it turned into a cage that she couldn't escape. I also like that Jack Steele was in the right place at the right time for the club attack and her attempted kidnapping not far from the cabin that he took her to, and then again when she was trying to get over the gate/fence when she was going to go find him because she would've traded being with him in his cage over being her father's cage which I would've too in her shoes. It was a really fun and quick read and worth 5 stars.

Big Bodyguard by Cassi Hart is an insta-love, steamy, protective romance that hits all the right notes—age gap, forced proximity, and touch-her-and-die energy in full force. Charlie is a young woman craving freedom from the shadow of her father’s political life, and Jack—her ex–Navy SEAL bodyguard—is the one man who’s supposed to keep her in line.

Of course, that goes out the window the second they’re alone. Jack’s protective instincts and slow-burn desire make him impossible not to fall for, and their chemistry is pure fire. There’s danger, heat, and just the right dose of emotional tension as Jack fights between duty and desire.

If you love alpha protectors, forbidden attraction, and heart-thumping romance with a guaranteed HEA, this one is a total win. Cassi Hart always brings the spice and the feels, and Jack and Charlie’s story is no exception.

You can feel the sense of being smothered, stifled.

Being guarded around the click, being watched endlessly can make you feel compressed into a tight cloud of fear. You can feel every edge toward her panic, her need to get away.

Her father isn't mean, not even really controlling. He just needs her safe, protected. She's all he has left, and won't allow her to be taken away from him.

Living in the public eye is a constant drama and she runs, the first chance she gets. And the first time she gets to a public place, to feel the freedom of just being like everyone else, everything changes. Completely unaware that there is a target on her back, safety comes in a gorgeous surprise package.

Let her feel a little freedom, but keep her safe... Her father loves her, but sends me to ensure no one gets to her. Then things go sideways... She's not just a job, she's mine.

A good read, full of tension and mystery.

Big Bodyguard is a fast and filthy novella with daddy issues and a daddy kink. 20 year old Charlie runs away from her father’s house because she is tired of feeling trapped by her politician father’s team of bodyguards. Naive as she is, she definitely needs protection against those seeking to manipulate her father through her. Enter hardened and hurting ex-SEAL Jack, who falls hard and fast for this lusciously lovely and too innocent young woman. He breaks rule # 1 all too quickly—and he gets off when she calls him daddy. I am not a fan of the daddy kink at all, but the action sequences and the chemistry between Jack and Charlie are fire! I adore how he sees her and how she challenges him at every turn—even when she does the dumbest things. Highly entertaining and with medium spice, this one hour read kept me riveted from start to finish.

This was a steamy, fast paced romance. It’s got all the tropes I love: age gap, forced proximity, and that delicious "touch her and die" protective energy. I was hooked on the tension between Charlie, the senator’s daughter desperate for freedom, and Jack, her bodyguard who’s sworn to keep her safe.

Charlie is strong, restless, and tired of living under her father’s control. Her need to breathe and live for herself felt so real. Jack is gruff, disciplined, and completely undone by her. The chemistry between them is instant and intense, but what made it work for me was the emotional pull underneath all the heat. Jack’s internal struggle between doing his job and giving in to what he feels adds just the right dose of angst.

If you’re into insta-love, alpha heroes, forbidden attraction, and emotional, spicy tension, this will definitely hit the spot.

She's completely over her father's controlling ways. She thinks the danger pointed her direction is completely blown out of proportion. He's hired by her father to secretly protect her while giving the illusion of her enjoying a forbidden night out on her own. When things go sideways and she learns the danger was all too real they are forced to run together. He's the first person that's really seen her... not just as the senators daughter, but as a strong independent woman. She's the first person that has made him feel like he just night deserve more in life than to do a job. This forced proximity, age gap instalove story is well with the read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Charlotte “Charlie” Freeman has spent her life under her father’s control, guarded every second of the day. When she finally escapes for a night of freedom, danger—and Jack Steele—finds her. Hired to protect her, Jack sees past the headlines to the woman behind the rules.

Charlie felt like she was growing up in a cage surrounded constantly by bodyguards and barely able to go out as her father has many threats against him so it means that Charlie is also threatened as she can be used against her father. Charlie wants to escape and get some freedom so she sneaks out of the house and leaves all the bodyguards behind but without her knowing her father hires Jack to watch out for her. The attraction between Jack and Charlie is hot and spicy and they can't walk away from each other. The story between these two is a lot of fun to read and the way they keep each other on their toes kept me engaged and laughing along with the characters. This is a must read!!

So.. I've realized something about me.. at this point in my life, I really don't like the daddy k1nk. It's just not my thing, and it pulls me from the story. I've read stories where I'm aware of it going in, and I don't hate it, but when it appears by surprise, it really kind of wrecks things for me. I enjoyed the overall story. I'm a sucker from a bodyguard/protectee love. I loved their instalove, fast-paced, action-packed adventure. My heart ached for Charlie when it came time to go home. I just struggled every time the word "Daddy" appeared 🤦‍♀️. Like I said, this is very much a me thing, so if you like the daddy thing... check this one out.

“You make me want to make a good girl out of you.”

Cassi, the woman that you are. Back again with a perfect ex-navy seal MMC that is obsessed with the FMC.

What can I say? I love it. I’m a big fan of these books and I’m not afraid to say that.

Insta-love, insta-heat, insta-trust. I’m a sucker for the perfect meet cute in which he is in charge of protecting her and she thinks he’s kidnapping her but doesn’t really care.

I think the first quote speaks for itself, thank you Cassi Hart for keeping my kindle full of short stories that feel like a whole book.

Big Bodyguard is book two of the Bigger Alpha's Series. 

Charlie is tired of being held back by her father and just wants to live her life a bit. She goes out and meets someone who protects her when she needs some help, but what she doesn't know is he is the bodyguard her father hired to look after her during her rebellious night. The chemistry is intense between these two and Jack has to decide if he can go against his boss and act with his emotions about how he feels with Charlie. Good read.

Second book in the series and I can’t wait for the next one. The steam has been raised up a notch, but there is still a story under it all. Charlie is a Senator’s daughter and feeling trapped and watched constantly. Thinking she is breaking away for a while, she sneaks out to finally live a little. Unknown to Charlie, her father knows and has sent a bodyguard to keep an eye on her. She gets herself into a situation and Jack is there to rescue her. But he will never let her out of his sight again.

Intense story. Charlotte doesn't realize that Jack is her bodyguard when they meet each other at the bar. It only comes to reality when she needs help. But as these two get closer and her stomach starts to growl buying her variety of Twizzlers seems to do the trick! Intense? Yes. Very protective of his woman? That's what he says, and he means it. What does Charlie really want? Only Jack would know, or would it be Charlie? Like reading the book.

Protective Daddy.
Awesome. All Charlotte wanted was so freedom. So, the first chance she had she grabbed her already packed suitcase and ran from her controlling father. She thought no one would recognize her at the Club but, someone does. Jack had been waiting for him make a move. The stranger had been watching Charlie and Jack had been watching him. He gets her out safely. Now, he’s stuck in his house with his one temptation. Charlie.
