When I walked out of his office after the hottest sex of my life, I thought I'd left Max Douglas behind me forever—along with my favorite argyle socks and my self-respect. The last thing I need is the too-serious, too-sexy former Marine living across the hall from me while he acts as a bodyguard for one of my students. Especially since he fired me from my job tutoring his brother—after we hooked up.I shouldn't want him. I should despise him after the way he treated me. But he's exactly my type: older, experienced, in control—and it's obvious the lust is still mutual. While I may not be able to keep our relationship strictly professional, I'm determined to keep it purely physical. But when the stalker threats escalate, it looks like Max is going to be sticking around the school for a while—and the more I get to know him, the more I'm in danger of losing my heart.Previously published, newly revised by author.39,000 words

Series: Men of Smithfield (#2)
Ex marine turned security professional and a boarding school teacher have the common mission to keep a student with a high profile parent safe. Good set-up, good chemistry, ok who-done-it. I like this series.
While the mystery part of this book was quite interesting (although I figured out the point much sooner than the MC), I did not enjoy the rest. Maybe it was because the book started when the MCs already knew each other, but I couldn't feel the attraction between them - they seemed to have so differe...
So, I liked this.I like the big softy Max became. However, he was too much of a hard ass for most of the book. The two MC's could barely stand each other, but they had hot sex. Is that enough for a budding romance? I wanted to kick Max's ass a lot for the condescending tone he used on Finn. Why...
This was an enjoyable story with the same feel as the previous books in the series. There is mystery and a lot of humour in the telling of the tale. I liked both the main characters and the sex was hot. I usually like more romance in my books but with this series, I read more for the other elements...
First impressions: Hmmmm.... Not what I expected after the first book in the series. This one is long on plot and less on character.
