Love @ Second Sight #2
Guarded by Mr Handsome
Can a bodyguard protect the one who got away from a stalker and keep his heart safe?
Natasha Rai, the wealthy heiress running a successful business, had beauty, brains, money, and a loving family. She seemingly had it all. All but love! Just when she'd given up on men, on love, Arjun Warrier, Arjun Warrier, her brother's best friend and her first love, re-entered her life. One look at him, and her walls threatened to crumble. Arjun vowed to protect her from danger, but who will save her heart from him?
Arjun Warrier remembered Natasha as a beautiful teenager. He was unprepared for the stunning and confident entrepreneur who was facing threats from an unknown stalker. As the stalker raised the stakes, Arjun vowed to protect Natasha at any cost. But would he be able to keep his hands off her? Last time he'd walked away from Natasha, it had almost destroyed them. Could he walk away unscathed this time around?

Straight out I am going to state that I am already a fan of this author. The first book I read by her was tastefully well done and a true pleasure to read. I expected all great things in the pages of this one and it did not disappoint. From Bangalore to Delhi I was immersed into India and was not seeking a return ticket. In swift fluid motion the drama, past choices and yearnings collide in the present making for one hot romance for two in it for life lovers.
-To The Author- Congratulations on your continued success.

A perfect blend of mild and wild side of the romance, added thrilling flavour to keep up the excitement. A fine balance between romance and thriller gives a unique taste to this story. Author handled emotions well, which results in emotions resonate in readers. Brilliant, mind blowing and heartwarming.

A very enjoyable romance with a great mixture of mistery and suspense. It was a book that hooked me from page one right to the end and as a result I read it in one sitting. Congratulations to the author for yet another captivating story. A must read

'Guarded by Mr Handsome', is not only a thriller but a second chance romance too. Both Natasha and Arjun have an emotional past and a sizzling present. I loved the characterization of both the protagonists. The narration is fluid, ending with a satisfying HEA. A recommended read for a lazy weekend.

This was a sweet romantic book. I'm glad I didn't read f..k and bi..he's etc. The love making was decent without the words like la..a and cl..ts.
It was a sweet narrative about first love which is hard to forget.

Cinematic love story and a political drama
October 26, 2019
There is romance and there is suspense. There are bodyguards and there are detectives. There is friendship and there is love.
The story has been well woven with the previous book. The best part is that the two stories, the first and second book, are interwoven and move in parallel.
The characters have been beautifully etched and are realistic. The feelings of both the characters has been described. The relationship between the characters has been described well. The easy camaraderie between the girls and that between the men has been reflected beautifully. The brother sister relationship between Natasha and Rohit has been depicted well.
The language is simple and the story is fast paced. What really makes it an unputdownable page turner is the suspense.
I loved the book and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Story is about Natasha & Arjun:
Natasha Rai is a political heiress, has her own boutique and is a well-known name in the fashion world.
Arjun Warrier has literally come up from the trash and now runs a security firm after an injury cut his army career short.
Natasha first met Arjun when she was merely fourteen and it had taken her just a few weeks to fall in love with him. Arjun and Natasha become friends later when he leaves for the Army, they exchange letters for 3 years. It's almost her 18th birthday when Arjun finally comes back from the Army to meet her and his best friend. But seeing her all grown up and excited for him, Arjun rejects her and breaks her heart, having his own reasons.
Now at twenty-five, will he be able to win it back?
Well, you will have to read the book to find all these answers.
After ages, when Natasha is all grown up, with a successful business and well settled in Banglore an unknown threat leaves her devastated and scared. After receiving certain threats, Natasha’s family appoints Arjun to protect her. These two have a history but they decide to keep their differences aside for the time being and try to find the culprit.
Arjun has started his own company of protection and he's personally taking care of Natasha requested by her brother and his best friend Rahul. Seeing him she is happy but more scared to have a feeling for him.
So once the stalker is caught will they finally be together?
or it's just a duty call for Arjun and he will never feel anything for his best friends, little sister?
I also loved the side characters, Tanya and Niel. But it was a bit confusing because at first she was just crushing over him and then in next, she was crying because he went to meet his family for marriage, and he comes back, then they were engaged, it was confusing at first then I just found out that this is the 2nd book, and the first book is all about Tanya and Neil, they have an entire book of their own. That is the first in this series and is called 'Seduced by Mr. Perfect'. When you read that book and then this one, you'd get it.

Second chance romances are my go-to comfort read so I was pleasantly surprised to discover this lovely story from Dee James. Loved the chemistry and the sweetness as Natasha and Arjun rediscover each other. Loved loved the cover, Dee!

Sweet and entertaining
The story is written quite well but at times I felt it all so predictable and flat. It could have been a little more dramatic just to Accentuate the plots .... A few things needed to be exaggerated like how difficult those months for Tasha were or just in general ... A little more detailed 'everything'...

Both the lead characters were strongly written especially Arjun. Loved the way story progressed & emotions developed between the two characters. Overall I really enjoyed reading this story.

My review:
Though not a taboo, this book does sort of have a verboten feel to it.
The heroine, Natasha Rai is a political heiress, has her own boutique and is a well-known name in the fashion world.
The hero, Arjun Warrier has literally come up from the trash and now runs a security firm after an injury cut his army career short.
Natasha first met Arjun when she was merely fourteen and it had taken her just a few weeks to fall in love with him. When she turned eighteen, he broke her heart. Now at twenty-five, will he be able to win it back? Well, you will have to read the book to find all these answers.
The main reason why I loved this book so much was because it had all my favorite tropes. The author has written the book in a wonderful manner without making it a cliché and she most definitely has been successful in being able to engage and hold the reader’s interest.
After receiving certain threats, Natasha’s family appoints Arjun to protect her. These two have a history but they decide to keep their differences aside for the time being and try to find the culprit. I live for drama and so the mystery and suspense revolving around the stalker was the highlight for me in this book.
My thoughts about heroine:
Natasha was an absolute sweetheart with the way she helped others. She is strong and fierce and won't take bullshit from anyone.
My thoughts about hero:
Arjun was charismatic, but at times, I wanted to smack him on the head when he would just push Natasha away because he would feel that he was not good enough for her.
My rating:
I'll be giving this book five stars and would recommend it to anyone who loves clean romance with some drama.

It's a story about a girl who gets a crush on his big brother's friend when she was just 14 years old. Arjun and Natasha become friends later when he leaves for the Army, they exchange letters for 3 years. It's almost her 18th birthday when Arjun finally comes back from the Army to meet her and his best friend. But seeing her all grown up and excited for him, Arjun rejects her and breaks her heart, having his own reasons.
After ages, when Natasha is all grown up, with a successful business and well settled in Banglore an unknown threat leaves her devastated and scared.
Arjun has started his own company of protection and he's personally taking care of Natasha requested by her brother and his best friend Rahul. Seeing him she is happy but more scared to have a feeling for him. So once the stalker is caught will they finally be together? or it's just a duty call for Arjun and he will never feel anything for his best friends, little sister?
My Take:
The story is simple and great. The way Author has developed characters it was simply great. The story is not a fictional fantasy that can only happen in books or movies, I could see it happening in real life. It was relatable. And the romance scenes, it did make me blush and it was relatable too. I also loved the side characters, Tanya and Niel. But it was a bit confusing because at first she was just crushing over him and then in next, she was crying because he went to meet his family for marriage, and he comes back, then they were engaged, it was confusing at first then I just found out that this is the 2nd book, and the first book is all about Tanya and Neil, they have an entire book of their own.

Overall the ebook is great and you should definitely read it. Fully recommendation for those who are looking for some mystery and love story.

Love is the only thing which keep us same in any condition.
This is love story of Natasha and Arjun. Natasha fell in love with Arjun in her adolescent days but Arjun being her brother's friend and mature one reject her . When they met after few years in tensed circumstances they found their feelings are not only still intact, if something it even became stronger then before .
How they dealt with feeling all the while danger lurking in background is this story is all about.
This is an unputdownable book and will keep you glued till end .
The story and narration is perfect and fast paced. There is not a dull moment in the book.
The author is obviously a master of romance.
The one thing I liked most is relationship between girl characters. They stand with each other through thick and thin.
An amazing read .

I hated to give this book four stars but had to due to some minor editing issues, I felt I had to. With that aside, I loved this sweet and enduring romance. It starts out showing you the loneliness of its characters and brings in a little danger to get the story going. With a hint of the past flashing in shows the longterm longing for the two.
I'm not going to tell you about the stuffing in the middle where it gets good but I will share my thoughts on the ending. My smile got bigger as the two finally came together. Just as they had started all those years ago. The ease of which they share themselves with one another to made it feel like a true passionate romance. I don't even know if I have the words to say just how good Dee James books make me feel.
