I absolutely loved the story. I loved how Jace and Mara first met, instant chemistry. Mara’s quick-witted banter almost makes Jace forget the fact that she crashed into the back of his truck. The story gets more interesting when Jace finds out what Mara does for a living…a sex toy operator. My curiosity was piqued as well!

Mara’s past has caught up with her and she needs Jace’s bodyguard services. Mara’s abusive ex-boyfriend has tracked her down and wants her back. The chemistry between Jace and Mara heat up the closer they become, but an altercation at a bar has Mara rethinking Jace’s advances. She’s already had one abusive boyfriend, she doesn’t want a repeat.

Jace tries to show Mara that he is not like her ex by sharing his abusive childhood with her. While Mara feels bad for what he went through, she just isn’t sure if it’s enough to convince her Jace is different. With her crazy ex’s actions escalating, Mara has to decide whether to trust Jace with her protection…and with her heart.

There is nothing about this book I didn’t like. It was funny, had explosive sex scenes, and equally interesting secondary characters. This is a great, quick read for anyone curious about T.A. Grey’s books.

I became a fan of T.A after reading Chains of Frost. I am used to her writing paranormal erotica genre and the ones I have read thus far are quite good. When she mentioned that her latest release would be in the contemporary erotica genre, I was not sure what to expect. I was silently hoping that it would be just as good as her other work. When I finally got the chance to read Jace my expectations were met. T.A has proven to be just as competent in writing in this genre as she is the paranormal erotica genre.

Mara the female protagonist had recently escaped an abusive relationship. She had settled down into her new life and was working as a sex toy operator only to find that her past had come back to haunt her in the form of her psycho ex-boyfriend Corey.

Jace the male protagonist is a professional bodyguard. He and and Mara literally met by accident. When Mara found out that Jace is a bodyguard she decided to hire him for protection.

The chemistry between these two is hot. Mara was afraid to give herself completely to Jace because of her past experience with men.

The suspense was quite good. It had me on the edge of my seat as I was not sure what would be Corey's next move.

Jace was an absolutely entertaining read and it pulled me in from the beginning. I just could not put it down. This is the first book in the bodyguard for hire series which for is definitely a great start to the series. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series.
