by Roxanne St. Claire

From bestselling author Roxanne St. Claire comes a sensational novel of dangerous desires, dark deceptions—and one drop-dead gorgeous bodyguard.

Watch your back…

Alex Romero is the hottest “Bullet Catcher” in the business. Tall, dark, and deadly if necessary, this high-priced bodyguard’s got the muscle and the moves—especially when it comes to the ladies. Alex can keep his beautiful clients out of danger, but sometimes they can't keep their hands off of him. Now Alex has one last chance to prove he belongs among the elite force known as The Bullet Catchers, but his assignment is stacked…against him.

Watch your heart…

Private investigator Jasmine Adams is fiercely independent and fearless under pressure—she doesn’t need some hunk-for-hire’s help to catch the creep stalking her twin sister. But when Jazz uncovers bigger forces targeting her sister for death, she’s glad to have Alex’s brain and brawn handy. From the steamy streets of Miami to the sultry beaches of Key West, Alex and Jazz try to fight temptation as they race to keep a madman from fulfilling his promise to kill not just once, but twice.

And some temptations are too powerful to resist…

Reviews

This was good. I've had this for a while but kept putting it off due to a reading slump. But it was just as good as I thought it would be. The suspense was great. There were lots of twists and turns and I didn't completely guess what was going on. The characters were likeable. Jazz was strong and brave and independent - the other thing I was surprised by was the idea that she had previously been reliant on others. It didn't really ring true. But totally minor issue. The romance perhaps happened a bit too fast but most romantic suspense does - on the other hand it did go so far as to develop a nice relationship between the two in terms of trust, respect and sharing what makes them tick. We didn't get to see a whole lot of insight into the background characters but enough to spark interest regarding the rest of the series. Great read. Will be reading more of the series.

This just didn't work for me. Jazz was almost TSTL and she's supposedly a PI; she didn't act like one. I thought Alex was a cardboard cutout; there was no real depth, IMO. There was also zero chemistry between them. I thought the plot was silly too.
