The newest sexy e-novella in the Unexpected Heroes series by New York Times bestselling author Melody Anne!Ella was a woman Axel wouldn’t mind shadowing day and night—especially night.
Ella Brooks is strong-willed, independent, and stubborn, and when she hears something she’s not supposed to about her shady boyfriend, her safety is at risk. Much to her dismay, her cousin sends FBI Agent Axel Carlson to keep an eye on her. Ella’s determined to resist the infuriatingly sexy bodyguard—she can take care of herself!—but she soon discovers that beneath the six-pack abs and amazing biceps lies an equally amazing heart. But will a mysterious threat keep them from finding their happily ever after?
MY REVIEW:
Ella Brooks and Axel Carlson have nothing
in common other than they serve the law.
She being a lawyer and him an FBI agent.
Oh and one other thing, Axel happens to be her cousin, Bryson’s partner
and best friend. They are such good
friends Axel was only a couple of hours into a much needed two week break when
he got the call that Bryson needed his help.
You see Ella was working at a law firm
where the senior partner took an interest in her. They dated for a while but it just wasn’t
working out, so she broke it off and quit the firm. Well, Felix was not a happy man because she
saw, heard and knew too much. Things
that could cause him and a few judges he had in his pocket a lot of trouble and
to go down. So, he had been sending Wade
to scare her. It did and she talked to
Bryson, but she wouldn’t go to his house or take the FBI protection. Off duty he called Axel because Bryson was on
a case and couldn’t be there himself.
Bryson knew Ella wasn’t taking the threats
from Felix and his side kick Wade serious enough so he called in the favor that
Axel owed him. Bryson had every reason
to worry. Although a grand overpriced home there was no security whatsoever.
Ella was a sitting duck. Axel had
to say Ella had a pair on her for a woman.
Bryson said she was tough and would try to run him off. To stick with her no matter what this Felix
character was bad news.
Their first meeting was not a good one
considering he let himself in with the key Bryson had given to him only after ringing
and knocking three different times. Ella
was nice enough to have programed the coffee to go off while she was in the
shower. So, by the time she came down he
was on his second cup. She had no clue
he was there by the way she was dressed and that she started pouring herself a
cup when he spoke. Yeah, not a good
beginning.
Not taking her eyes off him after have
words and introductions she reaches for the phone and dialed Bryson. After more choice words with him she agrees
to allow him to put a security system in place, only! Yet she knew and Axel knew that was never
going to happen. By the looks of Axel he
was not going to be good for her girl parts or her heart. I love the bantering that goes on between the
two main characters. The author shows
their strengths as well as their weaknesses.
Yet, neither goes for the others jugular. Even with Ella saying she doesn’t like him. When
she sees his insecurities she moves away from the subject they were on to
another all together to deflect. This
was everything you would want a world wind romance to be. With bantering, laughing, and romance. All lifelong gifts for a fun future. I give this 5 stars. Provided by Netgalley.com.
