Liam

The Bodyguard and the Heir #2

by C.S. Luis

Special Forces marine Liam Mason is a rebel at heart and far from what his younger twin brother, Nathan Mason, was - a devoted bodyguard. Working for the cartel has its ups and downs and training the cartel’s army of dangerous renegades is a hard business that often comes with a price. But when Liam gets too close to his boss’s son, the man soon has his heart bent on ending the ex-soldier’s life.
Hunted by cartel bounty hunters, Liam ends up in his mother’s old cabin, where sore and mending a broken heart, he comes across young Christian Madison, who has no idea who he is.
Still aching from his loss, Christian Madison is overjoyed when Nathan returns into his life. Having thought him dead, he is far more than thrilled. But when he awakens and finds himself alone once again, he fears he’s losing his mind.
When a letter arrives to reveal the truth, Christian knows he must get to the bottom of all this; maybe he’s not going crazy or seeing ghosts after all. But one thing is for sure, his world has once again been turned upside down. But is he far more angry or afraid to fall in love with another man?

Liam By CS Luis

Several times throughout this book I almost decided not to finish it. If it had been an actual physical book I would've threw it across the room more than once. This is just my personal opinion... but as a whole it pissed me off in so many ways.

First... The part that pisses me off the most about it is that Liam went from being a soldier in the US military to being a trainer for the army of a drug warlord in Mexico. Now, I freely admit that I know this does happen IRL and I know that I also feel this strongly about it because my brother is retired US military. To go from protecting our country to protecting criminals and helping bring drugs into our country... That's just inconceivable to me and to top it off dragging along a few old unit members into the job.

Second, I don't have much of a problem that he fell for the drug lords son while he was supposed to be protecting him, but Javier is shot at the end of one chapter and at the beginning of the next chapter Liam is in the US with not a word explaining what happened to Javier until much later on. We're left with wondering whether he's dead or just hurt and Liam smartened up and took off.

Third, he let's his (now dead) brother's lover believe he's his twin and sleeps with him then promptly takes off leaving Christian to mourn the loss of Nathan twice.

Surprise, surprise he actually does something good for a change and let's Christian know via letter he's Nathan's twin, but then sleeps with him again and then the drug lord captures Christian on his way out. Then Liam suddenly realizes he's in love with Christian??!! WTH? The man is so shallow he wouldn't know love if it bit him in the arse.

The first ending was fine, but then the alternate ending just pissed me off again.

This author is definitely not for me. The writing wasn't that great. The plot was bad. There was NO emotional attachment to ANY of the characters until Christian pops up 3/4 of the way through the book and that died immediately when I read the alternate ending. I should've quit reading it when I first wanted to.

Simplemente mis pensamientos a lo largo de esta historia iban entre el ¿Qué? y ¿En serio?
Sin embargo, tengo que decir que ese final alternativo llegó a mi corazón; aunque el final inicial tampoco está mal, aunque me cueste reconocerlo.
En este caso, tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer más sobre Nathan y su vida en el ejército; además de conocer a Liam, su mellizo.
No puedo comentar mucho más, hay que leerlo para entenderlo, o al menos disfrutar de esta historia.

Realy liked this book though the ending was a bit, i do not kn ow what. one minute I like this HEA and the next minute i dont like this HEA. I think the authors treatment and development of Liam's character as the story progresses is well done, this harsh, selfish, handsome and a bit more interesting as a character than his brother is hard not to love b y the end. he has traveled more in his journey. so I would have liked a simple end with the two men HEA but as I finish this review i'm more with the final HEA.. he lads read, but don't forget to read book 1 or as I call it chapter 1

La historia es genial me trapo desde el minuto 1, me gustó que tuviera toques spacy y ese sentido que le dio de peligro ,a un que me hubiera gustado que nos hablarán un poco más de Nathan.

Pensé que el anterior era un precuela, pero son 2 historias separadas que se unen en esta. Dos hermanos que intentan llegar a ser felices solo siendo ellos mismos, y que terminan encontrando que el "único" no es lo que pensaban.
Un libro mucho mas lleno de accion y sexo que el anterior, una lectura bastante rápida y facil, como para cuando estas esperando, o vas en tren o autobús. Puedo decir que bastante predecible y olvidable, pero entretenida para el momento que no quieres pensar en tramas y asegurar un final feliz.
