Iris Tarango is a small-town girl from the wrong side of the tracks; she’s also a decorated former Marine who fought hard to become one of Red Stone Security’s most respected agents. But her perfectly ordered life is turned upside down when she’s assigned to guard the sexy, dominating tycoon she shares a secret history with. The instant Iris walks back into the billionaire’s diamond-studded orbit, the wild attraction flares between them…and her reputation, objectivity, and heart are in trouble.

After an attempt on his life, business magnate Wyatt Christiansen calls in major favors to hire Iris as his bodyguard. He knows she’s the best, though he has another motive too. He sees this as his final chance to win her heart. But when danger spins out of control, all Wyatt can think of is getting Iris out of harm’s way—even if it means losing her love in the end.

Unfortunately, the killer seems to know their every move. If Wyatt and Iris don’t figure out who put out the hit, they’ll lose more than their chance at happiness together.

Review

This is the second book I have read in this series. I am reading them all out of order and this is working out fine. Iris is a great fierce kick ass bodyguard heroine that can handle her own. She sucks at her emotional life though. This romance is basically about her working things out with her newly minted husband who has been her friend since childhood. They need to work out how two very assertive people can be together.

This story is heavy on the action adventure and move pretty fast. As per usual in action adventure romance books for me, I would like a better balance of couple time with plot twists and events but over all this is a good read in the subgenre and I look forward to picking up the rest of this series.
