As the front man of A-List Security, Duncan is used to the socialite bodyguard personas, but when his next job has him as the head of security for a rock star it should not be a big deal. Unless the rock star just happens to be his brother's best friend, the same best friend that Duncan has had feelings for. Can Duncan put the job first? Or will spending time with Ezra open up emotions he had left hidden? With chaos, excitement and loads of give and take between Duncan and Ezra this was a great read. The reader knows from the very beginning the walls Duncan had up but loved watching each and every one of them fall down.

I can always trust Annabeth Albert to write books that brings a smile to my face. I was keeping this book to read for a particular week when I would need a little comfort and this book gave me just that. This book just gave me so many good feelings while I was reading it and I really appreciated that.
Brief summry
Duncan is a SEAL who is now a bodyguard, his next assigment is to guard his brother’s best friend, Ezra. The more and more time that they spend in each other’s company, the more than they fall in love with each other.
The romance in this book was just so cute. This book made me almost yell “aww” outloud so many times because I was reading some of the cutest scenes I have ever read in books. I really loved the way the romance developed in this book and how they learnt to communicate and be together. They formed such a strong couple and I really enjoyed reading about them together. Also, these two just had such great communication and always talked to each other about everything and I thought that it was so cute.
Ezra and Duncan just had such a great relationship. I loved how comfortable and at peace they both felt when they were together. I loved how you can see how much they appreciate each other through their every actions.
Also, Ezra and Duncan were both super well crafted characters and they were a joy to read about. I really enjoyed reading about their lives, their struggles, etc. It was just super enjoyable to me.
I love when characters in books bound over small things in life. I just adore those small bounding moments over every day things. In this book, Duncan and Ezra bound over their love of pie. Which was just the cutest thing in this world to me. Those scenes just made me grin so much, they were just so adorable to me. I just adored this part of the book and it made the book just so enjoyable to me, this just really enhanced my enjoyment of this book due to how cute it was.
I received an arc of this book and this is my honest opinion

Hard Job by Annabeth Albert is the second in her A-List Security series, featuring age-gap relationships between older ex-SEAL bodyguards and younger celebrities (actor, rockstar, etc). I'm going to keep this review brief because I have little new to say about this book that I haven't said about the rest of her recent books: Albert is at her best when she's writing in the third-person; her first-person works, like Hard Job, tend to have very similar voices with very similar characters who do not sound like realistic adult men. A big issue with this book is that it reads a little too similar to the first in the series, Tough Luck, although this time I'm not grossed out by the characterization of one of the characters. Moreover, Hard Job suffers from a tragically weak plot; there is quite literally no organic tension after the 25% mark as the romance is essentially wrapped up by this point. There is no point to the rest of the book. All in all, what should have been a quick 1.5-2 hour read stretched over several days because it was such a yawn. I don't recommend this book, and I do not plan on reading more in this series.

M/M Bodyguard/Rock star
The rock star had a crush on his friends older Seal bother. The Seal used the rock stars music to get through a tough deployment.
Loved these two.

Duncan and Ezra is a bodyguard rockstar romance which is well written and works perfectly in this series.
Loved reading more about Duncan after meeting him in book 1. His worries about the company.
Ezra is not a rockstar with no f#@$s he is a rockstar who cares!

Another amazing read
I don’t think I will ever find anything by Annabeth Albert that I don’t love! This addition to the series is just superb - a true story of two people who didn’t realise they were lost but truly found themselves and each together.

Similar to book one!!
This book was enjoyable but was very similar to the first book in the series. There were a lot of points where I had to rethink whether it was from book one or book 2. Ezra in this book is very similar to Danny in the first book not that I found it unenjoyable but I would like more variation. With that said I will read the third book in the series just because they’re fun and quick.
