JusticeNeeding a bodyguard back in my small hometown is laughable. But there's nothing to laugh about on Rowdy Riker. He's brooding. He's bad boy, but he's all man. I can see his scars with my eyes, he's hiding the pain inside and all I want to do is rock him in my arms and take it away. But there's a professional veneer he has that he won't break. Or will he? I'm ready to find out how impenetrable this wall of a man really is.

RowdyAfter a discharge from the army, I've taken to private security to keep my skills up and mind off what's happened in my past. When there's a mix-up at the local B&B and Justice's room is cancelled, we have to bunk up in a tiny hotel room. One bed. No privacy. And waning willpower. This assignment might be my biggest challenge and not because of outside threats, but the one that's coming from inside of the hotel room. When we both break the dam of fears, can we be there when we both most need each other, especially when faced with a man from her past who's clearly having issues of his own. Justice isn't only beautiful, she's snarky, and full of spirit, too. I'll take a bullet for her...right to the heart.

A romcom series for readers who love romantic comedies where love and laughter jump off the pages.

If you like strong female heroines, and sweet, but broken, heroes, then you'll love these sweet and steamy short stories from Brynn Hale and Ally Crew. No cliffhangers. No cheating. And only a happily ever after that will have you feeling all the feels.

"He's a bronco and I want to be on this for more than an 8-second ride."

Justice is the ninth book in the Holiday Hotties series and this is a sweet and fun short story with a bit of drama added in. Justice Clarke is a very successful singer who has come back to her hometown of Ribbon Cove to perform. She usually travels with an entourage but as Ribbon Cove is small her manager instead hired her one bodyguard. The turns out to be Rowdy Riker, and retired Special Ops soldier who had been medically discharged. He is big, stoic, handsome, has a major edge and is very sexy.....and Justice wants to climb him like a tree as he is definitely not what she was expecting. This is one of Rowdy's first assignments since joining a Private Security company and it may just be his last, as when he sees Justice he looks like an angel that ends up teasing him like a little devil.

This story was a fun and entertaining read. The story-line was peppered with things that made me laugh and then blush. The characters were both very likeable and played well off each other.

Sizzling Songbird and Hunky Security-Yum!

Maybe you can't come home again, but when Justice does, the sizzling songbird meets a yummy security hunk. I loved this fast paced, steamy peek into what happens when you come home. Rowdy provides security, but can he fight the attraction he feels for his client in order to keep his job? Justice wants to make this quick road trip home a success, but can she give into the attraction her tall drink of water security man awakens? A few interesting twists put match to flame and test whether a glance in a limo can evolve into so much more. This one has me rooting for both Rowdy and Justice as they navigate their way. The pacing is fast and the chemistry is steamy. I loved this delicious read! It was my first from the series, but it won't be my last!

Finding Love . . .

Rowdy is a bodyguard, ex-military, assigned to protect Justice who has returned to her home town for a concert performance. From their initial meet at the airport, they have instant sizzling chemistry going on. But Rowdy has to remain professional and do his job.

When a problem at the B&B ends up with Justice’s room being cancelled, Rowdy shares his room with her. Already drawn to each other, this will be a difficult night… maybe. Will the two be able to keep their hands off each other? Will he be able to protect her when ex-boyfriend Kenneth holds a gun on her for leaving him behind in freshman year? And when it’s all over, if they survive the attack, will they walk away from each other forever?

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Justice is the ninth book in the ‘’holiday hotties’’ 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 read. Justice is a well-known singer visiting her hometown for a concert. When she meets her temporary bodyguard, she is instantly attracted.
The chemistry between Justice and Rowdy is clear to see and I liked them together.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to more books from this series.

I thought that this was a really good book. I really liked Justice and Rowdy. These two have a lot of passion in themselves and when these two finally come together after Justice's teasing, they are explosive and scorching hot. The connection between these two is soul deep and with their time together coming to an end faster than they would like, they aren't sure how they can move on with their loves. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it and these two awesome authors.

Justice is a famous singer going back home to her hometown, Ribbon Cove, for a concert. She is greeted by her bodyguard Rowdy Riker. Justice thinks having a bodyguard in her small hometown is ridiculous and she doesn't see the point. Somehow, the original hotel reservation gets cancelled and no one knows how. As the day of the concert arrives, trouble is brewing and Justice is glad to have Rowdy there to protect her. This story is a small town, ends in HEA. Would recommend.

Justice is in her hometown for a concert and Rowdy is the bodyguard assigned to protect her. From the moment they meet they have an instant attraction but Rowdy is trying to keep their relationship professional. Fate has something else in mind when the B&B they are staying at only has one room available. This is a short, fun, steamy romance and I was cheering these two on to get their happily ever after. The writing is good, the characters are likable and this is a great addition to the Holiday Hotties series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Justice is going back to perform in her small hometown. Reluctantly she agrees to the bodyguard her team insists they hire.

Rowdy is working the personal bodyguard route and knows from the second he spots her that Justice will not be the typical client.

I enjoyed the characters and the story. Liked how the knew themselves and didn’t think about changing themselves.

Making your choices head-on
It's a good romance, cute, hot, but with twists and a hint of action. The characters are good: Rowdy is a bodyguard and he has to protect Justice, a singer who comes to participate in a concert in her hometown. Despite an immediate shared attraction, Rowdy remains professional, while Justice seeks to provoke him. I liked this role reversal of seducers

I have to say, this was a beautiful way to spend some quiet time.
Justice and Rowdy make for a beautiful read. Their chemistry is palpable and borderline Kink.
I’m looking forward to seeing Trak.

The author has given us a wonderful story that pulls us into the lives of Justice/Justine and Rowdy and does not let go. He, ex-military, is now working as a bodyguard and is assigned to protect Justice while she performs in her hometown. They have a connection the moment they first meet eyes but must keep their relationship professional. But what if they cannot keep their feelings hidden?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It's a quick read but very good. Justice is given a bodyguard and is attracted to Rowdy and the feelings are returned. It was very lucky Rowdy was there as he saves her from an ex. However when time comes to separate, Rowdy isn't ready to let her go and Justice is very happy about that.

This was a really cute and short insta love story. Rowdy was hired to be Justice's security body guard while she is back home for a concert. Rowdy tried his hardest to deny these feelings he was experiencing but it was to hard to deny. He knew they had something strong and special.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

This standalone novella is sweet and steamy, there's plenty of chemistry between Justice and her new bodyguard, Rowdy. Entertaining story with slight drama.
