I was happy to Lila’s story. I loved her in the first two books and she deserved her own.
I liked that Shane and Beth made an appearance.
Really the only thing I missed was 2 POV. The first two books had it but this one did not. I liked Lila’s POV but would have liked to see something from Jonah’s POV. He made a lot of choices and to see how he thought would have been nice. To see his responses to what Lila said and did would have been cool. I felt like he had more of a back story we did not get to see.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Lia and Jonah’s story
This was a nice story. Not exactly what I was expecting. It was really easy to get frustrated with Lia and her stubbornness but once you find out her secret, it’s understandable.
Really easy to hate Dwight Peterson. I was begging thru most of the book for Liston deck him. Would recommend to read it but after the previous books are read. It’ll make more sense then.

Listening to new authors is always fun for me, you never know if you are going to get. The latest of my new author reads is April Wilson, who delivers a wonderful new adult story about Lia McIntyre. This is the third book in the McIntyre Security Bodyguard series, but can be definitely read as a standalone. Lia is the youngest of 7 children and had an unfortunate situation happen to her when she was 16. Six years later, she is still reeling from the memories and is unable to put her trust in a new relationship. She works for the family security agency and has been assigned to guard Jonah Locke, rockstar. I have to say, I loved these two characters, the chemistry between them from the start was thick and their banter entertaining. Their attraction is unable to be ignored, and it is always fun when Jonah, who is supposed to be the one being protected becomes the protector. Lia's brothers are more than charming and you can feel the family ties envelope Lia whenever she needs them. This story definitely has some angst and emotions that keep you listening to the very end. Definitely worth the time, hoping the balance of the series comes out in audio too!
Alice Parker is a new narrator to me and provided the perfect narration for a new adult book. Her voice is young, but not childlike so it was more than believable and she has a very good range of character voices. I will definitely seek her out in the future.

Really Good
I loved this installment in this series! Lia and Jonah's story is about real pain and real redemption. There's a good amount of suspense, some annoying ex's and lots of fun in between! A great book in an amazing series!

Running into the man who betrayed her, Lia McIntrye is angry and feeling unsettled. She is conditioning her body until every zap of energy is drained. It is all part of her training she tells herself, but her brother and coworkers know differently. That is why they assign her to be the bodyguard to rock star Jonah Locke.
Lia didn't expect to be attracted to him. She wants to keep their business as professional but Jonah can see through her. He wants her with every fiber in his body, he knows she wants him too but her walls are up. Will Jonah discover what caused those walls and will he be able to break through some of the politics that go into being a rock star?
This was great. Very different for a bodyguard story and I liked Jonah. This is a bit of a slow burn romance but once you begin reading it you cant put it down.
