Cute Story
I may read romance stories too much but I guessed the a lot of the book from the first chapter. However I said what the heck and continued. I am so happy I didn't. It was so cute. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style of C. M. Allen. Her lead female was quite a strong character. A very good read.

Had serious potential but...
Selfish, snotty, spoiled, poor, little rich girl, 28yr old, daughter to a Texas oil tycoon, Presley Crawford, needs protecting from the head of the Mexican mafia after her Father's involvement with him years earlier turns bad. Enter, Hudson Drake, ex army ranger and co founder to Black Spade Securities...and bodyguard to her self righteous, sniffling self. (Take note...she cries...a lot!).
Within 24hrs there was insta-love, high declarations of career changes, (to keep him safe), and 'forevers'. Her cold hearted, obnoxious demeanor and attitude is all apparently a front to save her from getting hurt blah blah blah. His one rule to not get personal with the clients is blown apart immediately after meeting her...again...blah blah blah!
In all honesty, the writing style, the format and layout of the book, the grammatical errors, typos and punctuation were beyond grating and the actual deliverance of the storyline was quite childish. Although, there was nothing remotely immature of the actual content. Violence, sex slavery, rape and murder.
It's written in both the f/m leads perspective through alternate chapters, with some interesting characters for future books. The location or page numbers weren't exhibited at all, that might not be a problem if the reader is totally engrossed in the literature, otherwise, it extended the read. A standalone, but the epilogue greets us with a couple that were not mentioned throughout the entire book but with familiarity, presumably an earlier book although this is suggested as book one.
It had potential but unfortunately it was poorly executed, with unbelievable and unlikable characters, also with quite a few 'raised eyebrow...wtf' moments. Disappointing but free.
