Charlie está instalando un sistema de alarma pero el empleado del lugar no deja de acosarla hasta que ella le da un rodillazo en sus partes. Cuando el dueño llama a su empresa para ver por qué la alarma no está instalada se pone furioso al saber lo que ha sucedido y quiere disculparse en persona.
Cuando Brody se disculpa con Charlie sabe que no puede pedirle de salir o será como el idiota que acababa de despedir pero... Que haces cuando sabes que la mujer que está frente a ti es la única?
Como siempre, buenos libros para pasar el rato. Un poco triste lo de Charlie que no era capaz de confiar en Brody por su pasado pero totalmente entendible.
A Kevin todavía pienso que había que patearlo un poco más, no parece entender las cosas a la primera 😒.
En resumen, buena historia corta de cliché y final feliz ❤️

“Charlie. You’re Charlie?” he huskily asks me and I can’t help but notice the vein in the side of his neck vibrating against his skin.
Another "lunch time read" from this Hope Ford series which has been really good. I didn't like this story quite as much as the first in the series. I think it was mostly because Charlie, our heroine, got on my nerves a bit. This was a super short story, did she have to be so resistant when she obviously had feelings for Brody? She just kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
"The restaurant is opening in an hour. But I don’t care. It means nothing if I can’t share it with you. I miss you."
Because this one just didn't hit me as hard as the first story in the series it's getting a solid 4 stars instead of 5. I still enjoyed but I probably won't be turning to it to re-read it.

Im skip the same part... under 33 pages wish it was longer..
Charlie works for Alpha security and is installing but is harrassed by a manger so she knees him in the dick.. and talks to her boss Mike.. about it.. owner Brody said he'll take care of it and her when she gets back.. he's already memorized by her but doesn't push her .. once the job is done he ask her out.. but she pushes away due to people always abandoning her.
No ow drama slight om drama, drama-ish, no cheating, slight secondary chara, sexy time, no virgins
Recommend- maybe
Cover-⭐⭐
Mentions of sexual harassment h
Push/pull from h
No condom
Hea
Epilogue + another

It was interesting to read about a heroine with commitment issues. She kept pushing hero away but he was one determined man. So sweet!

A QUICK READ, TOO QUICK. Nothing special, a pretext to have some steamy scenes. No real story. no real characters. I read some fanfiction way better written and constructed. like the French say "BOF"

Better
The second book in the series is better. Sentences flow more the development of the relationship is better, and it was an easy read. There were still some immaturity in the sentence structures but you get over that with the storyline.

Short,sweet and steamy
A very quick read, but very sweet and steamy. Definitely OTT instant love. Happily ever after and epilogues are great, too.

Love it
I just love a BBW romance, big girls need love to. Brody made sure he was protecting what was his, Charlie realized she was his forever

Loved it
Brilliant short romantic book with an alpha male that protects and is possessive when he finds the one thing he can’t live without.

Good read
This was pretty good. Charlie didn’t want a serious relationship because she felt in the end she would be forgotten. Brody wanted his HEA with Charlie. Good read.

A fun and fast read
I'm really enjoying this series so far. I wish the stories were a little longer but they're great reads and perfect for A lunch break.

Muy predecible. Los mismos viejos argumentos se repiten bajo la excusa de obscenidad mediocre.

Protecting what’s mine is book two in the alpha security series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable.
Charlie is an independent young woman. After growing up in foster care, she doesn’t want any attachments. She loves her job at alpha security. When a job goes down hill, she ends up meeting Brody. Brody wants Charlie as soon as she sees him.
The chemistry between Brody and Charlie is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. I liked that Brody never gave up. He wanted Charlie and wasn’t going to give up. I liked that Charlie finally realised what she had with Brody and went after her man.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

Protector
Brody owns the tavern Charlie is installing a security system at when she walks off the job he calls her boss to find out why. What he learns bothers him and when he meets Charlie his need to defend her is huge. But he also feels an attraction but he can't act on it. How long can Brody hold out

I liked it
The foster kid, no one loved me trope was annoying as a foster parent that’s just not how it works but For a short novella it gets the job done for past hurts. I liked Brody and the slow burn/ instalove happening

Protecting herself
She always took care of herself till he came along. She didn't know how to handle forever but she knew one night stands. It took a week of not seeing him for her to realize that she can do forever
