This was amazing and great and perfection. Now can someone tell me where I can find three military men like this? Asking for a friend 😂

Leuke afwisseling tussen romantiek en spanning. Al zijn boeken waar er meer spicy scenes dan verhaal in voorkomen, denk toch niet zo mijn ding (meer). Ik heb die scenes veel overgeslagen. 

Het plot waarvoor de bodyguards ingehuurd waren was wel erg spannend en waren de karakters allemaal heel boeiend.

-spoilers-

Super dat er zo casual over poly relaties geschreven kan worden. En denk ook zeker belangrijk voor die community dat er dit soort boeken beschikbaar zijn. Wel is het voor mij duidelijk dat dit niet mijn ding is, ik had toch moeite met de liefdesverklaringen en hoe Briar er maar gewoon vanuit ging dat ze alle 3 tegelijk wilden daten.

I only recommend this for the chapters narrated by Will M Watt 

Audiobook narrators Will M Watt and Carmen Rose are good. Watt is excelllent with the different accents, and providing suitable inflections and details to the drama and dialogue. 

But it’s not enough. The last 35% dragged. And that’s down to the writing. It no longer kept my interest when the plot ramped up.  

- I don’t believe a successful team of SAS wouldn’t haven’t chosen therapy for ptsd. 
- Matt was manipulating Briar. Despite what he claims in ch31
- I don’t get why they like each like Matt? Glen and Alenta’s love and loyalty to Matt are hard to believe. Briar claiming she loves him is also not shown in the writing. It’s just stated all too quickly. 
- Julies character wasn’t believable. why would this huge celebrity not have more than one person to engage with on her pr and what about delegating some of this stuff to a lawyer or manager 
- the stalker plot lost steam even though a lot happened. 
-the sex scenes weren’t as engaging after the initial lighthearted attraction. It’s very focused on penetration and dicks. Even with Watt’s excellent narrating talents, I struggled to care

So fun! I loved Briar's relationship to all the guys and, as in "Faking With Benefits", the separate relationships were all developed really well. I'm loving this trend of romance FMC's becoming more extroverted and being able to stand up for themselves and Briar definitely fits into that category. The mystery aspect was well done and didn't feel out of place. Looking forward to continuing with "Nanny For The Neighbors"!

I read this over the past two days and enjoyed it. This follows Briar and she is a celebrity with attitude. One day a stalker breaks into her house and she needs to get better security to keep her safe. What she didn’t sign up for was three ex military men on duty 24/7 as a package deal. Honestly what could go wrong?! 

This was a great read and had a great plot. I find going into Lily Golds books you can’t take them seriously so it’s easy to read. I find a lot of the references mentioned are relevant which I love. The three men have had a difficult past with the military and suffer from PTSD so please look into triggers. Unfortunately the main female lead frustrated me she was a well know celebrity with an attitude in the media. She held up this reputation but in real life she claims she isn’t self entitled but she acts it all the time.  She is bossy and carries on and it’s just something I didn’t enjoy. For example “ I know I’m hot I look at myself in the Mirror” I get it’s her personality I just was happening all the time. Sharp and snappy she was. 

Overall I did enjoy it but I can only fault the female main leads character. Faking With Benifits is still my favorite by Lily Gold.

Triple Duty Bodyguards was good, but Friends with Benefits was better. The spice was about the same for both books, however I feel like FwB had better character development. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand Lily Gold’s writing, and I appreciate it as a pallet cleanser between high fantasy & sci-fi reads. The portrayal of PTSD and mental illness could use some work, as someone with loved ones with PTSD etc, it can be very difficult to love and support them when they’re struggling.
