Operation: Bombshell: A Cupid City Security Romance

Rate this book
She’s the target in heels. He’s the shield in boots. Together, they’re the last line of defense—and the first spark of something explosive.

Supermodel Indigo Lyric comes to Cupid City to headline the Valentine Lingerie Showcase and reboot her brand with heart-eyed charm, not headline the news with a stalker story. Enter Mack Hawthorne, former Navy SEAL turned elite protector, who believes in three plans, protocols, and never, ever falling for the client.
Too bad Cupid City has other plans.

When a bouquet explodes in confetti and shrapnel, Heartline’s Operation Valentine assigns Mack as Indigo’s 24/7 shadow. a penthouse lockdown with one bed—for insurance photos, sir—fake-date optics to kill a rumor, and a city that insists on kissing booths, heart-shaped everything.

He’s grumpy, growly, and alpha enough to make danger blink first. She’s sunshine with a runway strut and a habit of breaking his rules.

Cupid City rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Cupid City rule #1: Good luck with that.

Bombshell delivers romcom banter, protector heat, and pulse-pounding suspense, because sometimes the safest place to fall… is straight into your bodyguard’s arms. Happily ever after guaranteed.



*In Cupid City, Valentine’s means glittering galas and dangerous secrets. Heartline Security keeps the city breathing between fireworks and threats. That is, until each protector meets the one person worth breaking protocol for.

Fall in love this February where these standalones serve high heat, high stakes, and heart-melting HEAs. Guards up. Hearts open. Valentine gives love the last word.

another great read by Logan Chance. I loved the curvy supermodel and the broody bodyguard. I am very intrigued by Mack's momma at the end ....I gotta know what that's all about and am looking forward to the next book

Mack doesn’t do complications.
Ex-military turned elite security, he’s built his life on rules, control, and distance—especially when it comes to clients. No attachments. No emotions. And definitely no falling for the woman he’s paid to protect.

Indigo is no damsel. Once a top model, she’s clawing her way back after a brutal betrayal—her ex selling her out and shattering everything she built. Now, with her comeback show in Cupid City looming, she has something far more dangerous than bad press: a stalker who knows too much and won’t stay in the shadows.

Assigned as her protection detail, Mack sees Indigo as a job. A temporary assignment. A line he will not cross. But Indigo isn’t just beauty and headlines—she’s resilient, sharp, and carrying scars that mirror his own. Every late night, every close call, every moment where danger presses in blurs the line between professional and personal.

As threats escalate and trust becomes their only shield, the question isn’t whether Mack can keep Indigo safe—it’s whether either of them can survive the fallout of what they’re starting to feel.

Taut, sexy, and emotionally charged, this story delivers slow-burn tension, forced proximity, and two guarded hearts daring to risk everything. Because sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t the stalker watching from the dark…
it’s falling for the one person you’re never supposed to want.



If you want it shorter, spicier, or more rom-suspense heavy, tell me the vibe and I’ll tune it 🔥📖

Indigo is a model and she's finally got her big chance. But someone wants her dead. Who better to help than a man used to dealing in situations like hers? An ex-military bodyguard, that's who.
Mack isn't looking forward to babysitting a diva model. He has another case, a more personal case, to get back to. The best disguise would be to play the fake boyfriend, that way no one would question their close quarters. Plus he hates being in Cupid City, it looks like Valentine's Day threw up. But he has to admit that she's a beautiful but sassy distraction.
The man that's after her turns up everywhere and after spending time with her, he no longer sees her as an assignment but sensitive and real.
There's anger as well as heat between them and after one too many sassy words from her, neither of them can control what's between them any longer.
She's his now and whoever wants to do her harm has to go through him.
This is a read where things progress really fast with intense heat but it's a good read. Ends in a HFN.

Logan Chance has done it again. Indigo and Mack’s story in Operation Bombshell has everything you come to expect from Logan. A romcom and romantic suspense, Operation Bombshell, brings high fashion and keep it professional together for one heated Valentines Day romance.
Indigo Lyric is making a comeback into the fashion world. After a scandal rocked her career, she is determined to get back into the game but things don’t always go according to plan. What I love about her character is her determination and sassiness. The way she interacts with Mack is steamy and at times comical.
Mack Hawrhorne is a man on a mission. Protect the supermodel and keep it professional at all costs. Mack, a veteran, is hired to babysit the fashion model when she’s in town for the lingerie fashion show. He is hyper protective and is very detail oriented.
I absolutely loved this book. The suspense, the banter, the undeniable heat between Indigo and Mack come together perfectly for a quintessential Valentine’s Day read.

I was excited to dive into this story that introduces the next Hawthorne brother, Mack. The series, A Cupid City Security Romance, includes 10 books by 10 different authors and Logan Chance brings the heat, danger and heart to the runway stage!

The book starts off with a confetti bang that has glitz and danger with a single focus on Indigo, a supermodel with a stalker that is escalating. Mack's mission is to be her bodyguard/fake boyfriend to locate and neutralize the threats. Mack is a follow protocol, grumpy, protective alpha and Indigo is feisty, sassy, and driven to break the rules. They find themselves in close proximity with one bed and the tension simmers between them as they circle each other while the stalker draws closer.

A twist at the end involving the Hawthorne family adds another element that has me intrigued for the next story and where the mystery will lead them.

I really enjoyed this entertaining quick read that pulls you in from the start, a well written storyline, action, intrigue, instant attraction with hot sexy encounters and HEA!

Confetti and shrapnel. 🎊😨
This is the story of Mack Hawthorne who is one of seven brothers. So far each of the brothers has had their stories told as parts of entirely separate series. The eldest brother, Nash Hawthorne begins the saga in Wrangling With The Bodyguard as part of Lone Star Security Romance series. Next up is Crewes Hawthorne in Guardian On Base (my personal favorite so far) which is part of the Hearts on Base series. This book is Mack Hawthorne’s story and it is part of the Cupid City Security Romance series.
This was a good, fun Valentines themed romantic comedy with some action and suspense. In the end, Indigo (love the name Indigo Lyric) and Mack only get a HFN (happy for now) ending 🙁 as the underlying cliffhanger from the previous books continues. This was a quick read, and I can’t wait for the next Hawthorne brother’s story.

Love is in the air…

Operation Bombshell is part of the Cupid City Security Romance series. This story introduces us to ex military bodyguard Mack Hawthorne and Supermodel Indigo Lyric.

Logan Chance has delivered a well written suspenseful action filled spicy romance with some cute banter, that just may deliver a few twists along the way. I loved this story from the very first word. I didn’t want to put it down.

Mack thought he took an easy job of protecting supermodel Indigo when she comes to Cupid City to model, but finds out it is a little more complicated when petals begin to fly. As he protects her the lines start getting blurred and they find that Cupid City just might be their downfall..Rules are made to be broken! Grab your favorite Valentine candy and enjoy reading their story. You will fall in love with Mack and Indigo along the way. You won’t be disappointed.

I would recommend you don't wait and read this one today!

Operation Bombshell
Logan Chance

Despite the different series names, this is another Hawthorne brothers book. Seven Hawthorne boys, now men, with a story to tell. All of them forced to deal with a tragedy many years ago, and now will all work together to get answers. But first, each other them has a brief job before they team up.

Mack is up next to be a bodyguard for a supermodel. One week and he can meet up with his brothers. He is already counting down the days. But Indigo is different than he expected. The more Mack tries to ignore her, the more Indigo flirts, pushes, to get to him. To get under his skin. So it’s only a matter of time before he snaps.

Fun short read. These books can be finished in a short amount of time, are quick and easy to read, action from start to finish, and entertaining throughout.

This was a really fast paced bodyguard/fake boyfriend novella that kept you guessing. Mack was the professional, protocol following bodyguard tasked with keeping lingerie model Indigo safe from an escalating stalker. She pushed all his buttons in the best way and they quickly fell for each other. The plot kept me guessing who was the stalker and who all was connected until the very end. Very interested to find out what his dad did though to have his mom reacting like that at the end. There were some plot holes and the story seemed a bit disjointed in parts which left me a bit confused. I would have also liked to see what happened between the sisters after the whole incident. No cheating or OM/OW drama, dual POV, HFN with an ongoing plot line and an epilogue 3 days after the big incident occurred. Can’t wait to see the rest of his brothers fall and to see what happened with their dad!

Logan Chance gave us the best new series right before Valentine’s Day and it is placed in the most perfect city for love, Cupid City. This book gives us Mack Hawthorne (yep, one of those Hawthorne brothers - the ones searching for their long-lost father) and Indigo, a supermodel who needs to get back on her feet. She needs the protection of a specialist when her stalker gets a little too close and she cannot put off her job in Cupid City. The fireworks between these two last well past the city and the job and even the prospect of distance. This is definitely a book you will want to read to bring in a little bit of those holiday vibes into your life while still have a Logan Chance romance of a book.

It’s time to meet yet another Hawthorne brother! It’s Mack’s turn to take the spotlight, he’s ex military and now works as a bodyguard for a private firm and has been assigned to protect supermodel Indigo Lyric. Indigo is about to do one of her biggest shows but now has a stalker that’s getting too close. Of course Mack try’s to remain professional, it’s his job, but a little forced proximity to a supermodel? Well it’s all gonna go awry right? A super steam short read as another Hawthorne gets bitten by that love bug!

Glitz, Glam and a Grump

Has Mack met his match in a curvy, strong willed model, Indigo? When he is given a short assignment before having to deal with family business, this will be straightforward detail if only the asset would not ignite fires beneath. A quick Valentine theme read that immediately wraps you into the mystery of who is behind the threats on Indigo and has you rooting for them to realize their true feelings amongst the banter. Logan Chance leaves you wanting more of the Hawthrone brothers’ saga. I can’t wait to see what is in store for them with the family matter.

Mack and Indigo found Cupids arrow and hit me straight in the heart! Their chemistry was off of the charts!!
Mack is one of the Hawthorne Brothers that you may have come across a couple of Logan's other books. Indigo is a stunning supermodel with a Stalker! Mack is her sharp-eyed bodyguard. They are combustible from their first meeting and the chemistry soon follows. This book has several of my go-to reads - instalove with the right amount of spice, that includes intensity and intrigue, that is a quick read but doesn't feel short or that you are missing anything, it is the perfect book for when you just have time for a quick escape!!

A short but fun read!

Indigo is feeling helpless when a series of stalker acts cause her to have to use a bodyguard for her comeback show in Cupid Cory! She expects this to be difficult to deal with but not in the extremely distracting way that Mack handles things. Could there be something to the rumours about this town and who is trying to hurt her.

Loved this one! Mack and Indigo were scorching from the get go and did not let up.
This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone you will just miss the backstory to the brothers!

Another Hawthorne Brother (all different series) comes to use in this fun valentines inspired series called A Cupid City Security Romance. This series includes 10 books by 10 different authors. Logan shows up this this short read full of wit and sass wrapped in heart shaped wrappers. Both characters are strong but sweet and they meld together so well! Loved every minute of it. I love that Logan can seamlessly intertwine his worlds with out leaving you hanging if you just read one of the. Aries. Buttttt if your anything like me it will have you diving int every single series to get every piece of Hawthorne you can get

I was sucked into this story from the start and it was a quick read but didn't lack anything. Sassy supermodel, grumpy bodyguard and lots of mystery and action. Mack is the next Hawthorne brother that we meet and this grumpy, dirty talking bodyguard is my favourite to date. Indigo is the supermodel he is tasked with protecting from an unknown threat, their story is fast paced, steamy and so good. And that unexpected twist at the end, I cannot wait to read the next book to see what happens while the brothers search to find their missing father. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for my honest opinion.

This wasn’t great. Indigo started out ok. She seemed serious about the danger she was in and she was going to listen to her bodyguard, but it didn’t take very long for her to become bratty and annoying. There’s a paragraph where she asks the MMC about his brothers and he tells their names and their roles in the organization, and then it’s repeated a short time later, almost Word for Word when she again asks him about his brothers. There’s also a scene later that describes four people in a warehouse, but in the next chapter there are five people. It just felt rushed to me. I didn’t like the sex scenes either. Something about the way they were worded came off cringy.

Mack tries to keep it professional with Indigo, the beautiful model he is charged with protecting, but the mutual attraction is powerful. I love their chemistry and their flirtations.

Mack and Indigo's story is a short one, but full of mystery, action, drama and spark. Once they commit to each other, there is no stopping what they are capable of to ensure they have a future together. This romance is entertaining and promises more from the Hawthorne brothers.

I’m loving these quickies with the Hawthorne brothers!

Indigo is confident, stylish, and WAY more grounded than people expect, while Mack is the ultimate grumpy protector with a soft center he tries very hard to hide. Their chemistry sparks from the first scene and only gets hotter as the danger ramps up.

I loved the mix of suspense, fake-dating chaos, and sweet rom-com moments woven together. If you like bodyguard romances with banter, tension, and a guaranteed HEA, this one absolutely delivers. 💥💕

Operation: Bombshell by Logan Chance is fast-paced, easy to read novella with runways and shrapnel. Danger and desire. Chaos and control.

Get ready to meet Mack - the handsome, ex-military man turned elite security expert who’s all about following protocols. And the beautiful Indigo - the famous, sexy supermodel who’s fiercely independent, and all sass- until a stalker invades her life. Together - they are explosive!

Another Hawthorne brother meets his match. Mack is a dirty talking, ex-military man who is set on getting in and out on one more bodyguard gig for some quick cash before going off on a personal mission with his brothers. What he gets instead is smart mouthed super model dead set on pushing ALL his buttons! These two play off each other well. He's all protocol and protectiveness and she just wants to live her life. When they finally come together, they're fire. Set in a city that's all about love, watch these two find that the most unexpected people have lasting effects on your future.

Operation Bombshell by Logan Chance is the story of Mack and Indigo. She’s an incredibly talented model…who is trying to make it big. But, suddenly she is targeted…out of nowhere…by an unknown. So, she gets a bodyguard…Mack, to keep her safe!

Loved the story and the characters!! Mack is wonderfully detached…he has other issues in mind. Indigo is, initially hesitant to get a bodyguard…until a potentially dangerous situation presents itself. Now, she’s all in! Wonderful, romantic read!!

Great for a short pass the time

Do you have like a two hour layover, this is the perfect read the whole thing in one sitting.

We are meeting brother no. 3 of the Hawthorne 's and his love (at first site lol) for the model Indigo who needs a bodyguard as she is being stalked. Two days of dirty banter and these two are done for.

There is drama with this and the whodunnit aspect that Logan has been using in these books. We also get a sneak peek into what is happening with the mission on finding their dad.

I loved this story - a relatively short read that had me hooked from the get go.
Full of action and suspense - just who is out to get Indigo?
Their attraction is immediate and wow the chemistry between the headstrong Indigo and stoic Mack burned up the pages! A race to catch the bad guys leads to a very satisfying and emotional HEA.

The question remains though - will we discover the mystery surrounding Mack's father?
Can't wait to read Sin's book to see where that leads.

I gratefully received an complimentary copy of this book and this is my honest review.

This is a great story to read for Valentine’s Day. This is Mack’s story & he doesn’t do complications and follows the rules he’s set for himself to the line. However he doesn’t expect someone like Indigo to come into his life.
This is a romantic suspense. Both trying to keep things professional and things go well until the threat to Indigo gets closer and more personal. Circumstances bring them together and they just might make it if he can keep her alive, and if she feels the same way he does. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next one!

This is a fast paced story that can be devour on a quiet afternoon. I adored Mack from the very start. He’s the grumpy, professional bodyguard that you wouldn’t second guess to protect you at any cost. This story is filled with lust, mystery and action. A HEA with a taste into the lives of his brothers and what the future holds for them as a team as well as individuals. Great valentines themed book that can be enjoyed anytime of the year.

indigo is an independent and feisty model who doesn’t want a baby sitter, but when a stalker starts taking more risks to get to her Mack Hawthorne is recruited for the job as her bodyguard and fake boyfriend. Indigo & Mack’s attraction was apparent from the start. With instant chemistry, excitement, a little angst and plenty of banter and spice, this fast paced, short and sweet read will keep you hooked throughout.

Mack is all work and no play—until he isn’t. Lyric pushes every boundary, and their chemistry quickly turns hot and steamy. What starts as a no-nonsense mission to stay safe becomes anything but simple as danger keeps creeping in and emotions boil over. It’s fun watching Mack and Lyric tumble hard and fast for each other. And when everything goes to hell, the full alpha protector in Mack comes roaring to the surface. A fun, fast-paced read that’s easy to enjoy.
