Suddenly, the guy who has always been the villain in her life…he’s now playing the role of hero.GUARDING GWEN (Wilde Ways, Book 2)Gwenevere Solomon is the current “It” girl in Hollywood. The star of a dozen films, she seemingly has the world at her feet. Gwen’s problem? She also has one very dangerous stalker at her door.

But he’s back now, and as part of Wilde’s elite security team, he’s supposed to offer the best, most discreet protection service in the business. He’ll pretend to be her lover so the press won’t realize her life is going to hell, and Simon will stop her stalker.But Simon never got over Gwen, and the fact that she’s been filling the big screen with her gorgeous self? Yeah, it’s just made her even more tempting…and put her even further out of his reach. Simon was never good enough for Gwen, and he knew it. This time, he can help her. He can catch the stalker, unmask the jerk, and keep Gwen shining in her spotlight. Easy as pie. Or, it should be…BEFORE BEN (Wilde Ways, Book 3)It was a one night stand with her worst enemy. Ben Wilde was cocky, charming, and sexy as the best sin. He was also Courtney McKenna’s weakness. Every single inch of his muscled perfection was trouble and temptation. They’d sparred in the courtroom more times than she could count, and the tension between them had always been red-hot. One night should have been all she needed to get the guy out of her head and her dreams. Only…it wasn’t.Ben Wilde has never believed that opposites attract, but there is something about button-downed, prim and proper Courtney that has always driven him wild. And when he gets her in his bed, the attraction he feels for her changes into a sensual obsession.

I love Cynthia Eden’s books! I see her name as the author, and I gravitate toward getting that book, that series! There is fantasy involved, but also believable stories with such compelling heroes in each story! And that so important! I need to get lost in my books and she allows that sense of urgency that I feel when reading her books! This storyline did not disappoint, and I anxious to continue with book 2!
I liked Ben and Courtney together. I liked that we got a little bit outside Wilde for this story. I like that Ben is an easy, loveable kind of personality and not tall and brooding like most of the men in these books.
I like that he and Courtney had been circling each other for awhile. I liked seeing Eric (also I didn’t realize he had a kid?!?!?)
Story got a little over the top sometimes but generally well executed.
What a great bundle of books. Mystery, romance what more can you ask. While each book is part of the series you can read them each as individually but it's best to see how the characters weave into the stories. So far I think that Ben's story is my favorite. Enjoy I know I did. Now off to the next book.
These stories are absolutely action packed from beginning to end with full on alpha heroes and strong heroines. There is no cheating and a guaranteed HEA but it won’t be an easy path. Can’t wait for the rest of the series
