Guarding Nadia

Rate this book
Nadia has been an erotic author of BDSM novels for years. She is no stranger to her work bringing out the crazy in some people. However, she was not prepared for a stalker and had no idea the lengths he would go to in order to have her.
Desperate when the police are unable to help, Nadia turns to a highly rated security team for protection. Although they looked more like GQ models than bodyguards, Nadia puts her trust and her life into their safekeeping.
From the moment she walked into their offices, Caleb and Jonas knew that there was nothing they wouldn’t do to keep Nadia safe. Upon discovering the type of books she writes, they are floored because she has no idea that they are active members of not one but two BDSM clubs and had both reached Master status long ago.
As the two men guard her body and strive to win her heart there is one out there who will stop at nothing to claim what his twisted mind has convinced him is his. Including the murder anyone who stands in his way.

**Guarding Nadia is a Novella that comes with THREE never before published (in a book) scenes from Lainey's 'New York' series**

About the author

Lainey Reese

16 books993 followers
Lainey- born in Tacoma, Washington- was raised mostly in Nevada and California. The youngest of five, Lainey dreamed of being an actress and starring in blockbuster movies she wrote herself. As she grew, the dreams of being on the big screen faded but the ones of writing those fantastic stories never did. At 17 Lainey read her first romance novel and knew she’d found her calling. Here were the stories like the ones in her own heart and mind, and like tumblers falling into position on a combination lock, everything just clicked into place and the world was open to her.
It took a long time before she could work up the courage and belief in herself to try but finally, in 2010 Lainey held her breath and took the leap. Her first novel A Table For Three debuted in February and she hasn’t looked back since. Nor has she given up hope that one day, she will be sitting in a theater and it will be one of her stories on the big screen…
Along with her husband and two dogs, Lainey lives in Marysville, Washington and they have a daughter going to college in Bellingham. Look for Lainey’s edge of your seat adventure The Pod coming later in 2019.

2.5 for this one - I just didn't connect with this book and felt it was just too easy. There were some steamy moments and lots of potential

This one was a VERY sexy read. The menage scene between the three of them was pretty hot that included bdsm. If you've read any of the Lainey's New York series you know that she can write the hottest bdsm sex scenes.

I do like that this one is a standalone book and not part of a series. That way I don't have to hunt down all the rest in the series, but it's unfortunately that she hasn't written more books as I'd love to keep reading more of her work.

This was a quick one to read. I liked how Nadia encountered Caleb and Jonas even as I hated the reason why she needed them. It was easy to guess who the stalker was and that Nadia and the boys would end up in a relationship, but it was fun to see things happen. I sort of expected Nadia to freak out more about being with both Caleb and Jonas, glad she didn't. I loved the ending, loved that the boys went after Nadia and she was happy to see them.

3.5 Stars for a quick and hot MFM read.
My first Lainey Reese book which I purchased before I became addicted to MM Romance.
Started without any long winding explanation, steamy but sweet. The men were hot and protected her without going all caveman on Nadia so it was a nice change. I'm up for reading "Table for Three" next once the mood strikes again.

Even though I read this when it was part of the 'Some Like it Hot' anthology, it held me captive a 2nd time.

I loved Nadia, she was this unassuming, unknowing woman, didn't realise her beauty. She hired 2 hunks of extremely hot men, after the Police wouldn't do much about her being stalked.

We meet these two hunky men Jonas and Caleb, makes me want to hire myself a couple of hunks!!

They move into her home, as she is their client, but there is an underlying feeling in both the boys. They want to keep her forever, and once Nadia gives the green light, they embark on the hottest scenes.

The car journey, on my word, you make me want to have the exact same car journey happen.

The boys were in so sync with each other knowing exactly what the other was thinking and how well they knew how to bring Nadia the greatest of pleasure.

The outcome at the Cabin, had me sitting on tender hooks.

I absolutely loved the epilogue, at first I was shocked with her decision but after her explanation I understood why she did make that choice, and the final scene between them was sizzling, I was as glad as Nadia too.

Just about to start the bonus scenes - Woohoo!

Great fathers day story, another sizzling hot scene.

I was so EXCITED when I saw that Lainey had a new title up as she is a favorite author of mine. She has the ability to write a dom/sub story where the woman doesn't come across as weak. I loved every page of this book, will read it again and again...I am crossing my fingers that there might be a new series coming out of this. An Added bonus is seeing characters from her NY series. If you haven't read it, your missing out on some awesoem reading.

I didn't realize I had already read this when I first started it. It was previously in the Some Like It Hot anthology. 3 stars. The story started out pretty good but then kinda fell flat. The sex scenes were hot and definitely had some kink.

There were a few bonus scenes in the back with some of her characters from other books.

Guarding Nadia is a fast fun Roddick read full of gorgeous men and sex with the little mystery thrown in.

One of the hottest menage books I've read to date. Jonas, Nadia and Caleb are extremely hot together. The story of the crazed stalker is right out of headlines. The two super hot dominate heroes protecting held my attention, while the story delivered twists and turns in the story.

This is a well written BDSM story and the characters are wonderful. This one is worth you time. This is the first book by this author I have read but it will not be the last. I would encourage everyone who likes BDSM stories to get this one. I really think you will like it. For me it was a quick easy read.

Good short story

I love the relationship of the heroine and the two heroes. I would have love see more detail about the norm life and go more deep in each individual. Good for a quick reading but it let you with lots of unanswered questions.

…...have a commanding influence on; exercise control over.
I have to say when I was about 69% in the book I pretty much new how I was going to rate it. Lainey Reese without a doubt always brings a certain amount of charm and sexiness to her characters. That being said lets first talk about the Valentine Bonus scene you naughty girl to leave another girl hanging like that, I sooo want that story now..
I so adored Nadia such a bright and sweet young woman and with a pinch of sass, made getting to know her fun. A writer of BDSM themed erotic novels, but she has no real experience. Without real experience she still seems to hit her mark with her stories.
Jonas and Caleb best friends and partners that have their own security company. Nadia needs help and since the police is undermanned ect.. ect.. she finds a private company. She meets Caleb first and gets distracted looking at him boy wouldn’t he make a full happy meal. She relates most of her story, inciting frowns and growls from Caleb so much so he stops her for a minute to bring Jonas in and up-to date.
I keep saying this.. I love when a Dom and or sub are not in the lifestyle because of some tragic past.. or personal demons they're dealing with. These two Dom are Doms for no other reason than they love it. I love the fact that the writer incorporated that in the book, also the scenes were amazing and tight.. that portrayed knowledge if not research, Well thought of BDSM scenes that is so important and I think Ms. Reese does a wonderful job. She mixed in a bit of action/danger hell not everyone can have their own stalker..but Nadia does. The way the characters connected was another plus, quick easy and smooth. All around I just loved it, as I have all of her books. Grab it, Read it .. Enjoy

I wish it had been longer!

This short novella was originally part of the Some Like it Hot anthology but has been re-released as a stand-alone with bonus updates from her other series. I have enjoyed many books by this author and this was no exception.

Nadia is an author of erotic and BDSM novels and she was in serious trouble. She was being stalked and things were escalating. The police were not helping and she was bone-chillingly scared. She approached a private security company for help and she got a lot more than expected. Caleb and Jonas were seasoned veterans when it came to safeguarding their clients but had never felt so attracted or drawn to one. They were going to do everything to protect the trusting Nadia and ensure she stayed safe, even if they had to fight with her to do it.

This menage book is exactly what I expect from Lainey Reece – a hot, tantalizing, well-written story. Nadia was independent but vulnerable at the same time. Caleb and Jonas were BDSM masters and instinctively wanted to protect and care for her. Things moved very quickly, and Nadia seemed awfully trembly through much of the story. Given this is a novella, and Nadia’s stalker was getting more brazen, these minor issues were easily overlooked. While the client-bodyguard story may not be new I loved this take on it and wished for only one thing – that it had been much longer!

What a HOT read! If you want a short, easy, beyond hot read, this is the book for you this week! This will be a re-read for me for months, and possibly years to come. This is not usually my cup of tea as far as the genre goes, but I gave it a try, and I want so much more of Nadia, Caleb, and Jonas. If you think Christian Grey was hot, you have not met the two men that turn Nadia's world upside down!

Nadia is being stalked. She has been for the past six months. And she wants help. The local police department states that there isn't much they can do in her situation. That's when she turns to private detectives, Caleb and Jonas. Partners for years - in more way than detectives - they reach out to Nadia to help her in her time of need. They already know what they really want from her, and neither of them can help the feeling they get when she's in the same room as them. Nadia herself has feelings towards the two men, but she doesn't act on her feelings.

Lainey brought this spectacular story to life as Caleb, and Jonas successfully protect, and bring Nadia to safety. The story line was quick, and easy to follow, which is always nice when it comes to novellas such as this one. The passion between Nadia, Caleb, and Jonas is unforgettable, and I will be adding Guarding Nadia to my "to-be-read" pile again for this year.

Whoa! This is one hot steamy book, it has some incredible toe curling sex, with a dash of suspense and mystery! This has been one of my favorite BDSM books. It was not over the top in any of the BDSM scenes , it's just enough to get your blood pumping! This was a short book, just about 100 pages so it was easy to read in one sitting! I say if you're into a little BDSM and want to melt like an ice cube , pick up this book and enjoy!

Nadia is an erotic author of BDSM books who currently has a stalker, she is overwhelmed by this guy, he has broken into her house, taken a pics of her at the gym. He has called her and left dirty messages for her, he has even left a nasty present on her pillow at home for her to find. She does not know what to do next so she goes and hires 2 bodyguards, and not only did she get her body protected in more ways than one! She also finds her place in the world of BDSM,but will it be taken away from her before she has the chance to fully embrace it.

Caleb and Jonas own and operate a security firm, where they protect the clients with their lives. When Nadia walks into their lives, they both know that not only will they protect Nadia with their bodies but also with their hearts!

I would rate this 4 out of 5 fangs

Nadia has a stalker that has taken things too far. Hiring Caleb and Jonas to protect her is her best bet to ensuring her protecting, but she never expected the fantasy's in her books to come to life with these two men.

Caleb and jonas have known each other for more than twenty years and they know each other well enought to see that Nadia is someone they both want. Luckly they don't mind sharing...

A their passion escilates so do the stalkers actions. Will they be able to keep her safe and then simply keep her?

Nadia is sure in her life with her writing, but knows when she is in over her head.

Caleb is the down to earth type who thinks before he speaks or acts.

Jonas just goes into things with a what happens will happen attitude.

The three together balance each other and they certainly steam things up time and time again. The story was fast paced and while that was enjoyable is focused almost exclusivly on the sex and stalker points. I would have liked to see more to the storyline such as backgrounds or somethings else. Overall for what was there I enjoyed it, just wanted a little more.

Fanastic Story. I read this when the story was part of the Some Like It Hot anthology. Lainey writes a wonderful M/F/M story. Even though this is a
novella, it packs alot of the storyline into the package and gets everything out. I felt wholy satifsfied as though I had read a full length story.
Nadia is a romance writer-one who is an erotic romance writer who is receiving harrassing, threatening letters AND is now being stalked.When the police cant or wont help her,she is put in touch with Caleb and Jonas as bodyguards and let me say, they do guard the body well.What they also are, unknown to the majority is BDSM Masters and when they meet Nadia, they know they have found their "one" and their "submissive"...and in order to live happily ever after, they need to catch her stalker. Just know their are some BIG twists in this book. But the ending is great. You will love this story -the romance is fantastic, the mystery is key and the thriller-like parts will grab you and oh my, the sexual chemistry with the guys and Nadia- OH MY GOD- to die for- . Overall this is a wonderful novella that will be on your repeat read list forever

My rating : 5 stars*****

I am so happy that Lainey wrote me a new book. I've been eagerly awaiting this book.

So when I was asked to read this book.

When I got this story I was bummed because it is a novella and I wanted hours and possibly one day of Lainey smut, because it is oohh so good.

The story is about a chick (Nadia) and she needs a bodyguard because of a crazy ass stalker. Well Lainey gave her not one but two. And they are….wait for it…Alpha, Doms. Sweet Jesus in a hand basket, that setup is super hot.

There are some really smoking hot scenes in this book and Nadia is an erotic author. Who better to throw out sexual positions, well not her she is a bit of a one dick kind of chick. But these boys open her up, pun accepted.

Overall I like the ménage idea. I like the storyline. It is a definitely too short of a book for me. I have all of Lainey’s books, well except that last book that it being republished through a publishing company, and I think her writing style and storyline makes accepting the characters act of passion like getting coffee at Starbucks, easy.

Good book! Just makes me miss her (Lainey) more. Eager for her new release this spring.

Happy Reading.

Once I finished; Protecting New York, I knew I had to read another book of Lainey's. I wasn't disappointed at all. Another one I couldn't put down.

Nadia goes to a security firm because she's got a stalker. Once Caleb and Jonas meet her there's no turning back. They find out Nadia is an author who writes BDSM books. She, however is vanilla as they come. Or so she thought.

As they try to figure out who's after her, they fall in a menage relationship. These Doms introduce her to the lifestyle and she can't believe what she's been missing out on. Now her books will get so much more detailed since she now knows how it feels.

This is a novella, love at first site, BDSM, menage, suspenseful, romance. I loved it. Yes it's a little short but that's what Novella's are. Now I want more of Lainey's books.

Holy Smokes!! This book was incredibly HOT! If you aren’t comfortable with M/F/M then don’t read this book, skip it cause the sex is off the charts Hot!
Nadia is a erotic author who’s made a living telling her fantasies in books. She is being stalked and is very fearful of her life. She hires a protection company to help out. She wasn’t counting on getting more from Jonas and Caleb. Justice is served and the stalker isn’t who you think it would be. This book was a fun short read that I really enjoyed!
