I was really intrigued by the premise of this book but it did not deliver for me.
I thought because of his position as her bodyguard and the age gap we’d get lots of tension, pining and angst but we get nothing. It all happens off page 5 years prior and we get a crumb of a flashback scene. Without all the tension of will they/won’t they, there’s no payoff when they do come together.
The only chemistry these two characters had was that they were both conventionally attractive. That’s not enough to keep me invested in their relationship. And I say this as an avid reader of spicy romances- the spice was so repetitive. I ended up skimming through most of the scenes.
The rest of the plot was just messy and the conflict at the end was so unbelievable. Plot holes abound.
