Some things just can’t be ignored…and an attraction this powerful is one of them.Bodyguard and special intelligence mastermind Bodhi North has been called a lot of things—pretty-boy, surfer dude and even hippie, but he considers himself more of a tech nerd than anything else. Sure, he can protect and save like the best in The Guard, but the missions affect him far too much for his peace of mind … his peace of mind and he prefers to hide behind his screen. But when his boss gives him an ultimatum, North doesn’t take the easy way out.
After actor Sloane Sailor lands a controversial movie role, she never thought it would throw her into the running for an Oscar—or into the line of danger. It seems the spotlight of her movie also earned her a target on her back, and now she’s dodging a lot of hate. And who knew her new bodyguard would be so big, strong, hot AND smart too? It’s a little hard to keep her mind on the fact she’s in trouble, when North keeps distracting her with that little crease he gets between his eyes when he concentrates.
North never expects a mission to be simple, but learning that the alluring and intelligent Sloane has a foot in two piles of trouble couldn’t shock him more. Now it seems he’s saving her from a stalker as well as aiding in a search involving her lost sister. While Sloane battles a steamy attraction unlike anything she’s ever felt before, she can’t figure out which danger to fear more. But in the arms of her protector, she can hardly think of a better place to hide.

This story had plenty of action as Bohdi North is tasked with protecting action actress Sloane Sailor not just from the people that want her dead after a movie she starred in brought to light some illegal practices in the oil industry but from a human trafficker that sold underage girls into marriage that she has been secretly going after. I love a nerd and found it sexy that Bohdi was so good with computers and could kick butt too. My heart melted when I read that he volunteered at animal shelters and wanted to rescue a dog, but he wasn’t around enough to have one.
A great action packed read as the Guard was once again called in to protect this time an actress, Sloane that starred in a movie that was extremely negative to ocean oil rigs. The nation was in an uproar, and workers are walking off their jobs at the oil rigs. One big company has put a hit out on Sloane. North was assigned as her guard, and after he picked her up he discovered there might be a second hit out there too. Sloane was working on her own to rescue under age girls being sold by their families to be sold for marriage to older men. North was already highly attracted to Sloane before found out about her side mission, but after they went together to rescue one of the girls he was lost to her for her bravery. The Guard was then on both jobs. North would not be finished until Sloane was safe from both these factions. There was a great deal of action through out, all characters are well developed and interact seamlessly, there were many twists and turns with lots of intrigue, and bouts of romance.

This was my first read in this series that was highly entertaining. I loved the danger and drama that brought the heat level to a delicious sizzle. Bodhi ‘North’ is definitely swoon worthy and his chemistry with Sloane was on point. I can’t wait for more of this series that doesn’t disappoint.
“His to Protect” is the 3rd book in author Email Petrova’s The Guard series. While I have eagerly read every single one of Ms Petrova’s books, I am finding that my favorite books of the moment lean center around her special opps themes. The Guard series is not your usual Navy SEAL, Delta Force, FBI/CIA themed troupes that are so popular right now. The Guard is a group of bodyguards that take an oath to protect and serve, stealthfully moving amongst us dedicating their lives to protect not only their wards but their sisters and brothers in The Church that they have pledged themselves to. This isn’t your average church though– unless you attend a church where it’s members are masters in disguise, black belts in martial arts, computer hackers, and capable of killing without a moments hesitation.
“His to Protect” is brother Bodhi North’s story. A highly intelligent self professed “nerd”, North is an integral part of The Church’s intelligence/hacking team. Having spent months rehabilitating from being shot in a previous mission, he jumps at the chance to protect actress Sloane Sailor from death threats she has been receiving due to a movie role she portrayed. Little did North know that Sloane would be one of the emotionally strongest women he has ever met, and that he would need to protect her from not only multiple threats, but his heart from falling for her as well. This book contains everything I absolutely adore in a book: a fast paced, creative plot with enough twists and turns to keep a reader guessing and completely engrossed; characters that are likeable, fascinating and intriguing; sizzling sexual chemistry, secondary characters that pull you in and leave you eagerly awaiting their story…. which brings us to sister Madeline. I truly cannot wait to read her story! Talk about a fascinating character that I need to know more about and see fall in love. Quite simply this series has me caught on its line- hook, line and sinker. I can’t wait for the release of Book 4!!!
Do not delay buying this book! This series is totally worth spending your money on and becoming addicted to. An absolute 1-click buy!

Highly recommend to all fans of romance, action, heroes, and series.
North is broody, intelligent, and determined. When the job pops up on the screen, he’s determined to take it and prove he’s ready to be out in the field again after being laid up for so long. The chemistry and heat are off the charts, and there’s a bit of a tidbit behind the Ice Queen that helps melt that name just a bit. This is a great read and will definitely keep the pages turning.

Oh, Bodhi.
Bodhi is the perfect name for techie, surfer dude, protector in The Guard. He’s a great mix of a different sort of bodyguard.
Thumbs up.
Sloane is an actor in need of a bodyguard. Bodhi is only to happy to provide.
So, steam and action and a touch of suspense.
Recommend.

Bodhi North is a brilliant “tech nerd”, a skilled bodyguard, and special intelligence mastermind. Injured in his last mission, he is still recovering but not eager to spend his time at a desk job.
Sloane Sailor is an actress whose last movie generated massive protests, such that several oil rig workers walked off the job when they saw safety issues highlighted by the movie. Needless to say, the oil companies are not happy with that result and one wants to see her dead.
Bodhi North volunteered to protect Sloane, unaware that she has her own private mission focused on the trafficking of underage girls sold into marriage or worse. She is still searching for her sister who had been caught up in this horror. Bodhi’s job is especially complicated by the feelings that heat his blood as he tries to stay focused on his already difficult task! Can Bodhi keep her safe when she hides secrets that draw another source of danger to her?
This book has a good, exciting story line with strong characters the reader will enjoy. The suspense keeps the reader’s interest focused while the characters’ dialog and interactions bring it alive! Great combination for an intriguing action-packed adventure!
Book number 3 from The Guard Series is the best one so far, and I have enjoyed them all! North a nerd/body guard volunteers to return to action in the field to protect Sloane a Hollywood heroine that has evoked extreme reaction in her latest film. They find more that meets the eye in each other, with Sloane’s private battle against teenage trafficking and Northy’s deep determination to her right these wrongs.
The story contains drama, dangers, steamy scenes and great characters. This story left me hungry for more HEAs for members of the Guard/Church!

Em Petrova continues to write strong heroines in her romances and Sloane is probably her strongest. A famous actress hiding some deep secrets and strengths, she doesn’t want a new bodyguard and Bodhi has no desire for a relationship— but we all know the best plans get changed!
An emotional and sensual story filled with action and excitement. Fans of the series will enjoy updates on characters, but it can be read independently.
Oh North! I love how, even in the back of his mind, he knew he was the one that needed to protect Sloane. This touches on a few sensitive subjects but in such a way that it’s not triggering. It’s emotional and intense and there are dangers everywhere but I loved seeing Sloane and North’s relationship develop. The book is short but packs so much into the chapters that it’s like reading a full-length novel and I love that! Can’t wait to see what else comes from The Guard.
This is the 3rd book in the guard series. The characters are well written and complex. The story line has action mystery drama danger and some twists and turns.
