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.

Hot hot action and adventure make this book a great, exciting read. And the chemistry between Bodhi and Sloane is smoking! I particularly liked the comradery of the Church, how they have each other’s backs in life and in a fight, and how they just have to laugh crazily when the firefight is over. I’m really enjoying this series, and hopefully there’s more to come.
The third book in The Guard series brings Bodhi and Sloane’s story. The author once again brings strong characters and takes them on an action packed adventure filled with drama,danger and suspense as well as the sizzling romance. The chemistry is off the charts and the scenes are smokin’! I was glued to the pages reading and would highly recommend this book.

Bodhi is one hot dude, with the looks of a surfer and the skills of a military man.
Sent in to protect an actress he got way more than he bargained for. Apart from the chemistry, what was she into?
Will he be able to find her lost sister while digging her out of trouble? Will they get out of this alive?
Great action packed romance, I enjoyed every minute of it.
I have one question. Did Sloane even know the guy that was feeding her Intel or was it a text/phone call relationship?
I liked Bodhi North’s character. He was a tower of strength in a man bun. I was also glad That he was a computer geek. They don’t get many stories where they can be geeks and kicka$$ too.
I thought he and Sloane connected very well. I liked that Sloane out so much effort into what she was doing. I was surprised that she was completely alone. I kept waiting for some type of backup to pop out to assist.
The story was fast paced and engaging. It also provided some action and suspense along with the romance and the steamy scenes. It felt like it ended so quickly by the time I reached the HEA. A definite 4.5 star read.

This is the third and final book in this series. I’m a little sad that this is going to be the last story in the series but am looking forward to the next series put out my Em Petrova. I’m a big fan of her books. This is Bodhi North’s and Sloane Sailor’s story. This was my favorite of the three books. I loved North. He’s the hot, laid back, nerd you can’t help but love.

This was a really enjoyable, non-stop read. Bodhi and Sloane were such amazing characters. I loved how complex they were and that paired with the well crafted, thrilling storyline made for a extremely pleasurable reading experience. This is the type of book where looks can be deceiving and these two fit that description to a t. The story holds your attention easily with its compelling blend of danger, drama, excitement, emotion, action, mystery, twists, great chemistry and romance. I am choosing to post a forthright review.
Thrilling romantic suspense!
Sloane is purposely courting trouble, but it’s for a very good cause. She’s able to keep her crusade off everyone’s radar until she attracts trouble from another angle, which lands her squarely in the middle of The Guard’s next mission.
I love how fearless she is, and how dedicated she is to righting the wrongs against her family. I was enchanted by her chemistry with Bodhi, the way these two learned to work together so beautifully in such a short period of time.
The action never lets up in this third book about what has become my favorite security company. This team embodies all that is virtuous and courageous and gives me hope that there might still be a few true heroes left in this world.
This was a non-stop read for me, and I loved every single bit of it. I’m definitely putting all three in this series on my To Read Again shelf. Bodyguard romances don’t get any better than this. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
North and Sloane were a fun couple to read about.
North was an amazing character to read about. You knew he was a man who was determined to prove himself to the rest of the Guard. He didn’t want to sit behind a desk for the rest of this life and he new this new assignment was make it or break it.
Sloane is a woman I very much admire but yet wondered about sometimes. I felt very bad for her being caught in the middle of the disagreement with her movie and her being held up as the example. However, her other job was much more fulfilling but oh so dangerous. I could completely understand why she was doing what she was doing but I just thought she was doing it the wrong way. It was so dangerous to do alone, she should at least have someone else watching her back.
Watching these two dance around each other was fun. Sloane had danger coming on two fronts and it was giving North a headache. Especially given that she still wanted to work her second job while being hunted from her first.
Another great addition to this series. This time we have a movie star needing a bodyguard. Sloane and North have a connection that cant and wont be ignored and we find that she isnt the weakling that people expect her to be. North has his own demons that he is battling and this is the job he has taken on to prove he can do it. Packed full of action, romance with an air of mystery and quite a few twists. I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Bodhi North looks like a muscled surfer-dude, and his cool name fits that image. In reality, though, he is extremely intelligent, a computer expert and a highly trained covert operative working for the private secret agency known as The Guard. After he endures a long recovery from injuries he received on a mission, North is anxious to get back in the field and prove that he is still effective.
A job comes into the agency, seeking protection for movie actress Sloane Sailor. She is being targeted by shady companies that are being subject to opposition by environmentalists inspired by her latest movie. North get himself assigned to her case. He quickly finds out that Sloane is much more than a beautiful woman and talented actress – she also has an incredible depth of character. She has another mission she is carrying out personally, and that has even more bad guys after her.
This book is fast-paced and easy to read, with a few very unexpected plot twists. The chemistry between North and Sloane takes them by surprise and is irresistible to them both. You can read this as a standalone, but if you read the other books in the series it’s fun to see those characters make appearances in this story. There is a well-earned happy ever after to cap off this very good read.

Brodhi and Sloane are put together when a role she plays in a movie puts her in the hairs of someone wanting to take her out. She is also doing her best to free girls from a man selling them off as brides.
Brodhi is usually more comfortable behind the screen of a computer but the more time he spends with Sloane, she has definitely changed his mind on that.
I absolutely loved this one. Couldn’t hardly put it down for anything.
What an exhilarating read, car chases, danger, attraction, and heroism. This wasnt just another job for Bodhi, he wanted to prove his worth to his brothers, but he also knew he could be the only one to save her life and keep her safe. There is so much more to Sloane than meets the eye. An up and coming actress, taking wild strong heroine roles she is now sought as either the villain or idol for the new eco enthusiasts against offshore oil rigs. But her worse enemy is the man that she is stealing from and she wont stop till every last asset is recovered. This is such an amazing book I could not put it down, I was biting my nails one minute and sighing in bliss the next. I loved it.

I liked this story about Sloan and Bodhi. It was action packed and had tons of steamy scenes. This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. I would recommend this book for a quick read.

*Spoilers* I can’t help wondering why North volunteered to have his chip removed when he revealed to Oz that he is involved with Sloane. Like Oz said the rule has changed? Was it because he was using this mission to test if he is really suitable to serve in the field after his injury? Hence, the fact that he needed the new rule didn’t mean he pass?
