˗ˏˋ ★ REVIEW ★ ˎˊ˗

There were so many iconic lines from this book.  It was an entertaining read, it was funny, angsty, and spicy.  The characters had depth to their personalities and while the plot wasn’t what I was expecting it kept my interest.

There were a few parts that made me question how this book was going to end before grabbing the good old plot twists.  The reveal to Rhys dad was not expected but was a nice plot twist.

Much better than the first book to me. The beginning of the book was very intriguing because I liked the troupe of body guard falling for his client. After the book settled in though it became slow paced for a little bit in the middle of the book but eventually picked back up. I liked the conflict of the romance, but the resolution was predictable. 

I wouldn't read this book if you are looking for good plot twists, while it has some they don't last very long for you to infer what might happen. Overall I liked that characters and their relationship and I didn't like slow pace in the beginning/middle parts.
