Forgotten Bodyguard

Forgotten Bodyguard #1-3

by Ali Parker, Nicole York

One rule—don’t touch the assets.

Tell that to the saucy young woman I’m guarding.

She’s in my face, crazy one minute and begging me for attention the next.

Her father’s status and popularity in his run for President of the United States has him worried about his only little girl.

And that “girl” isn’t too thrilled with having a shadow, especially one she’s not supposed to touch either.

But my background and the crappy start in life I got helps me more than most in watching out for the bad guys.

I used to be one.

Things heat up fast when we’re pushed into a maze of confusion.

Things aren’t at all what they seem, and I’m not even sure the Senator’s little girl is, in fact, his.

Time to back off and catch my breath because unfortunately I’m falling for this one, and she’s way out of my league.

It’s only when her life is in danger that I realize backing off isn’t an option.

She’s mine, and her pretty little body is mine to protect, no matter what.

There’s just one rule. Don’t touch the asset.

Hard to obey when she wants these hands all over her.

What a great book and one that's hard to put down once you begin. Fast-moving and full of action. Plenty of twists and some surprises. She was off-limits since he was her bodyguard and she was the daughter of a Senator who was also a Presidental candidate. She wanted more, demanded more but could he fight off the temptation she posed? A good book with an engaging storyline and likable, well-developed characters. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review it.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an action packed romance with strong,well developed and likable characters in Ian and Chloe. The author does a great job pulling you in with all the drama,suspense and twists and turns as well as the steamy romance. I was glued to the pages reading this book. Highly recommend.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

It's hard to tell a bad boy to keep his hands off the hottest asset under his watch... especially when she wants those hands all over her.
Chloe Moore has money, status and popularity, but she yearns for the missing piece - freedom. Her father is a senator in California and has decided to run for President of the United States. Due to some of his political positions, he's receiving death threats. With no choice, Chloe is given a shadow, a bodyguard that has been instructed to never leave her side during her summer break from UCLA. Her life before her father's decision to run was restrictive, now it's unbearable.
Ian Matthenson has worked himself up from the shitty start he got in life. Coming from the wrong side of the tracks and spending more time in jail than not, he's finally cleaned up and proven himself to the right people. His older brother gets him a gig he can't refuse -protecting the college-aged daughter of a political icon, a man even he looks up to. He has no concern over his ability to keep the pretty little tease safe, but keeping his hands off of her is going to be the feat of his existence.
Things heat up as Chloe pushes Ian to the edge, both physically and mentally. It's only when her life is in danger that he realizes that perhaps it's not just his paycheck that causes him to protect the girl's body so closely...

There’s a lot of book here, which is probably not surprising since there are a lot of different plot threads to untangle. When this book started, I was not a fan of Chloe. Her willful disobedience of restrictions that were designed to keep her safe had me seeing red. Too stupid, or stubborn, to live is a pet peeve of mine in any book that has a suspense element to it. Thankfully, as the book progresses we get to know more about what drives Chloe ad I was able to see her past my initial reactions, and I really kind of liked who she turned out to be. I started falling for Ian pretty much from the first moment we met him. I wasn’t a fan of his playboy persona, but that behavior doesn’t last long, which made me very happy. The political thriller aspect of this book reminds me a great deal of Meli Raine’s work; particularly the Harmless and Shameless trilogies.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.

Intense, emotional drama with love sprinkled in. I highly recommend this book. 10 star worthy. A great thriller of a romance. This book has got the nailbiting affects of the TV series 24. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, heart pounding drama that escalates more and more the farther you get into the book. It’s like dominos falling. So many clues with no answers in sight. Just about the time you think something is going to be resolved, a monkey wrench is thrown in and things get even worse. Ian and Chloe have no idea who they can trust, who is telling the truth and who is lying through their teeth. But one thing they do know, they are in love with each other. But they are each playing a part to try to find out who is really at fault for everything that has happened. A superbly written love story, dramatic story, action packed story. No one is who they say they are. It will keep you guessing until the very very end. Absolutely fantastic.

This book is one I just didn't want to stop reading, the author has written a story where the suspense aspect is constant. The story is told by both Chloe and Ian so you get a great insight into their thoughts and personalities etc.

Ian is working security for one of the Senator's campaign events and manages to prevent the Senator being shot! This leads to him being offered a great position as personal bodyguard to the Senator's daughter, Chloe. It's no surprise when things heat up between them when Ian moves in with Chloe as her full time bodyguard the chemistry is palpable but will they act on it?

As the story progresses you constantly wonder how things will end as family secrets are revealed.

A twisted opposites attract bad boy romance read

Chloe, a student at UCLA, is forced to accept Ian, bad boy trying to turn good, as her bodyguard after he saves her father from a crazed individual. As the story progresses concessions are made, a storm develops, and everyone surviving is not a guarantee. Nicole York’s Forgotten Bodyguard is a twisted opposites attract bad boy romance read. I would absolutely love to read more about Jess and hope to see something good happen for Cole. Reader discretion advised due to dark subject matter and/or possible triggers.

This is the story of a man hired to be a bodyguard to a young woman by her father that’s a Senator and running for President. The one rule is don’t touch the asset! She acts fine one minute and a brat the next but it’s his job to watch. But the more they are around each other an attraction happens so he has to back off. But when things start happening that makes him watch closer he realizes that he has to watch her closer as she’s going to be his! What will her father say?

I enjoyed this steamy and suspenseful story. It's nicely developed with an intriguing plot full of good twists and turns. I really like the character. Ian is assigned to protect the senator's daughter Chloe. So of course she is off limits. However, things begin to happen that makes this one heck of a read and keeps you flipping pages quick.

[Erika · Rating 5 out of 5]

He is the bodyguard and she is the daughter of a senator. He is supposed to keep hands to himself. She makes hard for him to follow that rule. She demands and needs more from him. Will he be able to keep his distance or will they become more? The story is well written with fully developed characters. There is plenty of steam and roller coaster ride. A definite must read.

[Buddypallady · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has so many twists and turns. Things that you do not see coming. Unexpected plot. Lots of drama. And if that is not enough lots of sizzling heat. Two lost souls will eventually find their happy ever after but what a ride getting there. Was not able to put the book down.

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this book. Only disappointment was that for such a long book, the ending was rushed. More detail in the ending for Chloe and Ian's life would have been a better way to tie off a roller coaster book such as this one.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Freaking awesome story. Loved the characters and their journey together. Fast paced well detailed plot. Interesting book that I definitely recommend.

I loved the characters in this book. The ending was a little anticlimatic but still a good book.

[Mandy Saial · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Forbidden Bodyguard boxset is filled with so many twists and turns . I was breathless with anticipation as to what would happen next and which secret would be revealed before these two characters ran out of time .
I loved Ian and Chloe together their storyline has a lot of mystery , action and mind - numbing suspense , but also has a sweet , sexy and emotional HEA kind of feel to it . These two characters have Explosive Chemistry and Fiery Attitudes ...no dull moments within these Hott and Dangerous pages .

[Kerry Callaway · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic box set!!

I was so glad I got to read this series as a box set. I'm not sure I could have waited for the books to come out individually they were that good. The suspense in this story really drew me in and had me trying to guess what would happen next. In every twist I was amazed at the detail and depth of the plot. This is one series I would recommend to any reader that likes romantic suspense it will keep you enthralled and gripped until the final pages.

[Ashley Hall · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the full installment of the bodyguard series. ian and his brother Cole work security. one good save and now ian is to protect Mitch's daughter, Chloe. only rule don't sleep with her, don't screw this up. Now her ex Jeremy is back, someone is framing Ian. Pauly, head of security, is a lot more than he seems. This was an awesome series. Maybe next we can see Cole get a happy ending in New York.

A Love Story with Suspense

I couldn't put this down once I started reading. The storyline between Chloe and Ian is amazing. It was great to have the complete story in one box set. I was guessing until the very end was really behind the death of Chloe's mother. I loved the ending.

[Treena Beavers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this!!

After reading part one i raced to buy this set, so many twists and turns. The shocking reality as the truth behind the Senator's campaign secrets slowly unfolded kept me on the edge of my seat.
This has a good mix of action, drama, crime solving, and some hot steamy scenes.
A great read.

Complex

I felt like this was drawn and out and some things didn't add up. I also felt like these were 2 idiots lucky they survived. He got his with a 2x4 and then walked away. Why would his son have evidence to incriminate his father. All of this stuff seems far fetched. Overall I don't know why I read this.

[Robyn Shanks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!!!!

This book was so good. I really enjoyed it.Ian saves Mitch at a concert. He is impressed with Ian & offers him a job to guard his daughter Chloe. She is not happy about having a bodyguard & makes Ian's life difficult. Chloe has had everything but she isn't happy. This book has so many twists & turns. I couldn't stop reading it. Thanks.
