Introducing WHAT HE GUARDS, book twelve in the hot and sexy new WHAT HE WANTS series by Hannah Ford...

Twenty-one-year-old law student Charlotte Holloway isn’t the type of girl to lust after things she can’t have. But when she starts working for the sexy and mysterious Noah Cutler, Charlotte can’t help but dream about the gorgeous billionaire, even though she knows it’s just a fantasy. Men like Noah – gorgeous, dark, and driven-- usually aren’t interested in women like her.

Noah Cutler is a man who doesn’t take no for an answer. His drive to go after exactly what he wants has made him one of the most powerful men in the city. And while he could have his pick of any woman, his sights are set on Charlotte. And he won’t stop until he’s taken control of every inch of her deliciously curvy body…

*A hot and sexy alpha billionaire romance, perfect for fans of Cassie Cross and J.S. Scott*

DELICIOUSLY DARK, POWERFULLY COMPELLING, SERIOUSLY SEXY AND DEFINITELY ENTERTAINING !!!
OMG! I'm still in love with this series! What He Guards is Book Twelve in the spellbinding series, What He Wants by Hannah Ford. This series totally rocked my world! Each successive release becomes even more powerful, exhilarating, mysterious, suspenseful and sexy. And yes, this is a serial with lots of nail biting, white knuckle cliffhangers, but I personally love the excitement and anticipation of a good serial. It's just like watching your favorite weekly TV shows and perfect for a quick lunchtime read! And Book Twelve just blew my mind! Although Book Eleven was by far the most emotionally charged installment to date with the raw intensity of the exchange between the story's two main characters, Book Twelve literally explodes with a revelation that shocked me senseless and left me with my mouth agape! Oh my glory! I think I may just die of anxiety while waiting for Book Thirteen! The story is exciting, dark, thrilling, riveting, compelling, powerful, mysterious, suspenseful, enticing, addictive, romantic, seductive, sensual and steamy. The dialogue is smart, well written, intelligent, arousing and flows effortlessly. The characters are fascinating, captivating, engaging, intriguing and sexy as sin. Law student Charlotte Holloway may only be 21 but she has worked tirelessly to gain favor with her law professor and now she finally has the long awaited opportunity to prove her worth. She has been assigned to work with him on a very high profile murder case. The client is a none other than Noah Cutler, a very powerful and sought after attorney himself. But at her first meeting with the new client, she realizes that Noah is her mysterious one time hookup from the bar the previous night. Huh? What the heck? And as women connected to Noah continue to turn up dead, Charlotte is drawn deeper and deeper into his life and his world of BDSM. Despite her resolve, Charlotte has fallen in love with the mysterious Noah Cutler and desperately works to clear him of the murders. So when an anonymous caller instructs her to visit Force, a BDSM club and seek out Audi James for information, she convinces Noah that she wants to become his submissive and accompany him to the club. That decision may just be the biggest mistake of her career and her life because Audi James has already been charged with one murder and almost too late, Charlotte finally becomes all too aware of the connection between Audi James and Noah. Charlotte finally realizes that in order to exonerate Noah, she must somehow flush out the real killer. She sets her plan in motion with disastrous results. She's in over her head and has made herself a target. The killer has taken the bait and has now set his sights on her! Charlotte becomes more determined than ever to discover the identity of the murderer but she must convince Noah to help her. Noah reluctantly agrees but now they must return to Force to bait their trap and Force is the very last place on earth Charlotte wants to go especially after her previous terrifying experience with Audi James. Will Noah be able to protect her? Oh my! It seems that Noah Cutler has plans for the naive, young Charlotte and they include much more than working on his case. He wants her more than his next breath and is determined to possess her. Will the cost of his love be Charlotte's life? Will she become the next victim? Will her love for Noah and desire to exonerate him cost her everything including her life? Does Noah truly care for Charlotte or simply want to dominate her? Or is she just a pawn in a wicked game of death? Oh my! Secrets are revealed and the suspense builds! The evidence against Noah continues to build but he finally reveals his true feelings for Charlotte but no spoilers from me! Things are rarely what they seem so don't jump the gun just yet! Sexy dominant attorney-check! Beautiful submissive law student-check! Danger, murder, mystery, jealousy, betrayal, intrigue and suspense-check! Romance, passion, seduction and steamy sex-you bet! I can hardly wait to read Part Thirteen! This just gets better and better! One heck of a heart-pounding ride! My only issue with this author is her failure to provide her readers with any information or links to subscribe to notifications announcing the release of a new installment of the book. It is both inconvenient and time consuming to continuously search in hopes of finding a new installment. I am following this author on Amazon but to date, I have not received any emails announcing a release. I enjoy this series and would like to continue reading more from this author but it is inconsiderate for Ford to expect loyalty from her readers when no effort is made on her part to accommodate our convenience. Although this in no way detracts from the contents of this story, it does influence my decision on whether I will read any successive books written by Ford. Deliciously dark, powerfully compelling, completely captivating, seriously sexy and definitely entertaining!

What He Guards

What He Guards (What He Wants, Book 12). Same review as before - great story but to short and to many books to keep up with.

READER/BUYER BEWARE: At first, I liked that I could buy all 10 books for .99 and getting a good deal. WRONG!! There's OVER 22 Books! The others at $2.99. This author knows how to rip the customer off by offering short stories where the storyline never ends. These books offer bonus books that you find after a few short chapters, and those too offer short stories getting you to buy MORE BOOKS to find the conclusion. Each book is ridiculously short and there is no group deal of 11-22+. For the cost to read the beginning to end, you would think this author would employ her skills in editing her multiple books by spell checking. There are so many unanswered questions throughout the storyline. The characters give quick short answers & never follow up leaving you wondering. I did like the storyline, but after a few books in I couldn't help but feel I had already read this story. Then I realized that the storyline was almost identical to a book I read a few months ago, minus some alterations here & there. Other than that I did like the book(s), but I can't like the author who intentionally rips off the customer.

Good

The story is good. A little rough but exciting. These books to the story are actually more like chapters. Too short to actually consider its a book so is very expensive for what you get.

Longer

Just when the story gets good the book ends. I wish your books wild be longer or even buy them in groups but I guess you wouldn't make any money oh well on to the next book

Entertaining but...

I am enjoying this series but the books are too short to even qualify as novellas. This book is way too short for the price.

I loved this series....am still loving this series. Could not even update or review before reading the next one. I sometimes read like 3 of these books a day!

Some of it was a bit rough for my taste and I can not believe that people have that much sex but each to his own in my opinion!

The storyline was very interesting! Book 17 needs to come like in now!

Good, but not Great

I'm enjoying this series...
But the price of an hour long book is a bit high, considering you can get the same (if not better, and a longer more in depth book) for the same price (even less).
I'm not sure if I'd be willing to purchase any more from this author because of that fact.

I should have read the reviews before reading this series. The story line is good but it's being dragged out for too long. I'm done waiting/reading for this series; maybe next year I'll check in to see if the stories is done.

There isn't much story progression in this installment of the series until basically the very end. Probably the most boring of the books so far...again, at least until the end. However, the end was something I had already predicted and I am sure many of the other readers saw it coming too.

Ok!

I enjoyed this book, but for this short story. The price is to high. I knew that Josh was up to know good. I hope things turn out good for all. Well I'm going to read on to see what will happen next.

This series is exciting, dark, thrilling, riveting, powerful, mysterious, suspenseful, romantic, sensual and steamy. The story will pull you in and you just want more. This series has many plot twists—again, and the dialogue is clever and well written. I cannot wait for the next one.

Yep,
