As a Navy SEAL, Rick Mann fought his way to hell and back, but he’s never faced a challenge quite like protecting Sierra Cox. She’s spoiled, she’s annoying, and he’s never wanted a woman more. That’s a problem for so many reasons. At the top of that list is that he needs to keep his head in the game because even though Sierra doesn’t take anything seriously, including Rick, the threats on her … life are very real.
Some days Rick doesn’t know who he hates more, the woman he’s protecting or the man trying to kill her. But there’s only one of the two he wants to take to bed.

Rick Mann is a former Navy SEAL. He is bored in his current security job and misses the excitement and danger of his previous employment with the SEALs. Rick jumps at the chance to be busy with a job for the newly established GAP security company, but Sierra Cox might be more than he bargained for. This is definitely an “Insta-lust” story…hot, hot, hot!
I enjoyed this story on audiobook. Good narration kept me entertained.
-4 Stars!-
Rick Mann is at a crossroads in his life. Medically discharged from the Navy SEALs, he is working a job he doesn’t love. He and his buddies Jon, Zane, Chris have started a Security Company. His first assignment, protect actress Sierra Cox from a stalker. Just what Rick needs in his life, a princess who won’t listen or take the stalker threat seriously! This story has just enough suspense to be exciting, but the chemistry between Rick & Sierra is wonderfully erotic! I really have enjoyed this entire SEALs series & have fallen for each hero for his own special skills! I highly recommend this book & each of the other ones too! Thanks Cat Johnson for another great book!
This is a fairly common plot– a famous person needs protection and in steps a former Navy Seal. This time the famous person is Sierra, a spoiled movie star and the ex-Seal (Rick Mann) is trying to recover and fit into civilian world again.
What stood out to me in this book, was the ingenious way the author dealt with the sexual relationship between Sierra and Rick. Ms. Johnson does’t go for the standard fare, where the sexual tension builds up between the two main characters until finally their passion explodes nor does she have them play games and tease each other, and she doesn’t even play the guilt card, where the Body Guard antagonizes over the his decision to sleep or not sleep with the client he being paid to protect. No, not in this story, as the author takes an original approach, by just letting the couple have sex with no questions asked. It was refreshing to have two consenting adults enjoy each other without any games.
Rick Mann has been hurt and now sitting on the sidelines. He has been offered a job as a Protector. First job, Sierra Cox. She is a movie star and someone is stalking her. Only her manager believes this person has crossed the line. Unfortunately Sierra doesn’t take the threat seriously till the evidence comes to light. Hiding out with Rick should have been a nightmare but it wasn’t. It was hot hot hot. Just when you think the person was caught and everyone can move on, the real stalker shows his true colors. You are going to love the ending!
Love this series. As a dive, I enjoy the underwater scenes as much as the oak and pull of the main characters.
This story reminded, me of first impressions … they aren’t always the best and in this case, completely wrong! Rick and Sierra were off to a bad and misunderstood start, but I’m glad they came to some agreements! Given the severity of the situation, I liked how Rick tried to keep some humor and smiles. Was a fun read! I read this story as part of “FEEL THE HEAT”
I like the Hot SEALs series even more as it continues. While this is book 5 in the series, it can be read/listened to as a stand alone. There are characters from previous books, however they only make brief appearances.
I also like the narration by Craig Jessen better as the series goes on. I like the different voices he uses to differentiate between the characters.
#AudiobookObsession
The new company GAP (Guardian Angel Protection) is starting to get clients and when starlet, Sierra Cox has a stalker, and needs protection, GAP is hired.
Rick Mann, whom we have met in previous stories, is not happy with his full time job in security, quickly volunteers to take the job. Little did he know he would have his hands full dealing with SIerra.
While for me, Sierra might not have been the most likable character up to date, I really loved Rick.
His sense of responsibility in keeping SIerra safe, while trying to please her, was sweet.
But of course the danger is always around the corner especially when least expected. Will Rick get his HEA or will Sierra be just a memory?
The audio and the narrator brought the story to life.
Sierra is an actress with a stalker. Her manager hires a bodyguard who was an ex Navy SEAL. Rick works for GAP a security firm and is a guard at a company. Sierra doesn’t really believe she’s in any danger and fights Rick the whole time. She’s snotty, sarcastic, and self centered. Poor Rick is still attracted to her even though she treats him like crap. When they believe they’ve got the stalker, Sierra goes back to her life without a look back until Rick is shot.
Really never gives you much information on the stalker. Sexy and suspenseful but not a fan of Sierra. I’m sorry but Rick was just too good for her.
