保镖和client之间的故事。这本就是我喜欢的那种不停的back and forth，极限拉扯，哪怕是到最后80%，我以为又要开始老套的thanks giving day就come out环节了，却又来了一次heart break。真是有点惊喜，俩人真是酿酿酱酱到我这么不喜欢看搞事业的，都想问一下保镖你到底什么时候抓到坏人啊，保镖是俄罗斯人，俄罗斯搞基违法这事，绝对给洋妞太太提供了原始又带感的人设

I loved the start of this novel. But something happened in the middle making these characters do a 180. I feel like the balance was off. The first half they were practically enemies. I liked their conflict but I didn’t like how they got together. Jude started to become annoying. the 2nd part was just overly sweet. I’m not explaining this right. It wasn’t believable.

2.5 stars. I was too annoyed by the drama, it felt like such a stretch a lot of the time, especially Jude’s reaction to finding out about the “keep him happy” thing. It got to the point where I started rolling my eyes, and that’s never a good sign.
The threats and how that was resolved was very obviously just something thrown together in order to bring the MCs together. But I do like the bodyguard/protectee thing a lot, so that was something at least.

I made 110 highlights. If I had read this in one sitting, I would've given it 5 stars. For most readers, if you like bodyguard romance, this is probably going to be a 5-star read.

Couldn’t put it down and I’ve been struggling my way through a lot of good books lately. Loved Nikolai and Jude!

I’m so ducking lucky to find this author. It’s just that the writing is so beautiful, emotional and hopeful. All the tough shit these characters have to go and be together at the end. It’s so satisfying. The characters are beyond loveable.
