The Alpha Bodyguards #1-3

Rate this book
From USA Today Bestselling author Sybil Bartel, the page-turning, heart-stopping, bestselling Alpha Bodyguard Series is now available in a series of boxsets!

Former Special Forces Military Operatives come together in this series of Alpha Bodyguards who will stop at nothing to save the women they've sworn to protect. Come meet the dominant, protective Alpha heroes who work for Luna & Associates!

THE ALPHA BODYGUARDS BOOKS 1-3 features SCANDALOUS, MERCILESS and RECKLESS!

SCANDALOUS:
Bodyguard. Babysitter. Chauffeur. Not what I thought I'd be doing with my life. Especially not for a spoiled Hollywood actress on location in Miami Beach. But triple pay and carrying a gun had its advantages. The Marines trained me to be Force Recon—this assignment should've been easy money. Except the doe-eyed starlet with the perfect smile leaked the ultimate scandal. Now she was going to find out how scandalous a bodyguard could be.

MERCILESS:
Bodyguard. Mercenary. Gun for hire. The Marines trained me to shoot, but civilian life taught me to aim. If you paid me for a job, you got results. The only thing I didn’t do was attachments, on any level. Until a smoking-hot former one-night stand crossed my path, holding a kid who was my spitting image. She said she didn’t remember me, right before she turned and ran. Now she was going to find out how merciless a bodyguard could be.

RECKLESS:
Bodyguard. Escort. Bad boy. Coming from the wrong side of the tracks, the only advantage I had was looks and being a Marine. I wasn’t active duty anymore, but my smile was still getting me in trouble. I just didn’t realize how much trouble until a gorgeous brunette asked for a favor—me, my gun, and an art opening. Except she failed to mention one crucial detail… pretend to be her fiancé. Now she was going to find out how reckless a bodyguard could be.

After reading a few sweet romances, I was looking for some porn-with-plot, and I found it, free. These stories are based on a super security team based in Miami; the guys are all over 6-feet tall and built ranging from bulky to ginormous. The women are caught in various traps that are at least partly of their own doing. Lust so insta it felt like fated-mates provides the basis for several sex scenes, some of which are quite hot. The stories follow the same template, so binging them was probably not a good idea. Plus, they all include one of my least-favorite tropes, though it is managed well as part of the plot.

I'll explore this author's other stories.

Book 1 - Scandalous: 3.5⭐️ action and some smut without a lot of plot

Book 2 - Merciless: 4⭐️ enjoyed this one more, not for the romance bc hey domestic violence (not with MMC). The action though 👌 So much drama, I was here for it.

Book 3 - Reckless: 3⭐️ liked the book well enough but there were some aspects of the plot that had me rolling my eyes. Insta love after 24 hours, not for me. Also that epilogue where Tyler tells her she can have the gallery until they have kids, but he’s going to cont his work… feminist in me wants to punch him. I’m all for an alpha male but please, no to the ones who want to control and trap their women rather than help them grow.

More asshole domineering heroes than dominant alpha heroes. The first couple of chapters weren't bad. The couple came off to a rocky start and could have connected the next morning. Instead he acts like a domineering asshole and she magically falls for it.

I finished the first book. Should have given up earlier.

Strength and protection embodied in these Alphas. But tenderness and compassion when it's needed. Three stories of clients who are suffering in ways that seem trivial at first glance, but all are hurting and lost. These are great plots, lots of suspense and surprises. The romance is good, but I also loved the brotherhood of the men who are the protectors. They are always there for each other, whatever is needed. I enjoyed the series.

alpha Bodyguards

Well so far three books down and what stories they did tell.
All three are such epic love stories you wish you were in them your self.
I would highly recommend reading these books if you are in love with stories that end the way these three have.
With Audrina and Tank,
Brooklyn and Collins
And Calandra and Tyler
Cant wait to start reading books 4-6

I reviewed each one of these stories independently under their titles. Overall, they were all four star reads. These books have mystery, intrigue, plenty of steamy sexy time, alpha males and good storylines. If you can get past the unrealistic instant love, you will really find great escape into some good storytelling. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome Books!

Three books all based on bodyguards that work for Luna investigators. They all met in the military and went through Afghanistan together. They were all special forces Marines. With all the deaths they lived through all three of the men in these three book found Love at 1st sight.

Tough and a bit of dominance

All three stories are incredible. The men are all growly and protective. Because of who they are. They are always in control in life. They meet the ONE lady who makes them feel at home. Something they all crave. Great stories.

Phew, these Luna associates are seriously hot!

Loved these 3 books, all 3 were different but had the same hot sexy men.
Where do they breed these types of Alpha males?
If you want some downtime, with hot sexy men & strong resourceful women the look no further & enjoy.

An automatic DNF. Read the first 2 pages and stopped. I don’t mind rough around the edges ‘bad’ or ‘alpha’ characters but the way these men are written is just an immediate no. How can anyone find this romantic?

Trying to hard

I was excited about the plot but the constant cursing was way over done. It felt like writer was trying to make it sexy but just used curse words to portray that. Couldn't even finish book.

These guys aren't Alpha, they are abusers and should be arrested for assault and abuse. It's like this writer is grooming women who read these books to think this is something they should want and enjoy.

AWESOME ALPHAS

All three books were great reads. The suspense drew you in to the end. While the romance was mind boggling.

I made it through Scandalous. Overall, it was pretty stupid. The main characters were not all that likable and they were poorly developed which added to the problem.

Three of the most sexy romantic books I've ever read. They have plenty of sex romance, mystery and suspense that you can handle .

If I'm honest, I was reading this out of obligation. I felt bored most of the time
