Big brother. Detective. The okay-est professional wrestler. This is the life of Max, who only has eyes for the aloof and mysterious Valerie, friend of his younger sister and consultant to the police. When Valerie’s life is threatened, Max is the first in line to take on the role of bodyguard. Will he be able to convince the lovely psychic that he’s more than the lumbering cop who likes to dress … to dress in spandex on weekends?
Strange phone calls have been plaguing Valerie at her business for a while now, but she thinks nothing of it until the night she receives a verbal threat against her life. Now her entire existence is being turned upside by a police investigation and a full time bodyguard, who happens to be her friend’s older brother. His bull-in-a-china-shop ways might not be the best fit for her lifestyle, but damn, he looks sexy as hell in a pirate shirt at kid parties.

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
When I found out Millies brother was getting his own story I knew I needed to read it. This beautiful insta love romance had me glued to it until the final page and I wanted more. You have Val the single mother that wants to believe in love but because of her ex she didn’t and Max the officer by day and wrestler by night. Max had instantly fallen for Val from the moment he met her but held onto his feelings. When Vals life is threatened Max does everything in his power to protect her. Max treats Val the way she has always wanted to feel and never thought she’s ever get. Even her son builds a beautiful bond with him. If you are looking for short, sweet insta love story this is the book for you. I received this as an arc to give an honest opinion.
Officer Max was everything I needed it to be and more when I first briefly met Max in Doctor Dave. He needed his story, we needed to know who could make him happy, and Val absolutely did that!
Max and Val are adorable together, even with the obstacles that get thrown in their path! His sheer adoration, her kindness, all of it was such a wonderful bundle of fluff!
If you’re looking for a quick but heart-filling read, look no further, and get to know Officer Max!
Now…do we get to know more about firefighter Jay too?!

Loved this story!!!
This book was a fun read and I loved it. Max and Val are perfect for each other, cause they can accept each other for who they truly are and it’s a wonderful thing.
Loved the characters. Didn’t love the lack of steam.
I read an advanced copy of this book.
Oh Officer Max…*sigh*
I adored Max’s character. He is the kind of guy who doesn’t seem to take life too seriously and he just loves what he does and lives to help people and make them happy.
He’s had his eyes on Valerie since she came to work as a consultant for the police department. She also just happens to be friends with his younger sister, and doesn’t seem to know he exists.
But when Valerie is threatened, he’s decided it’s time to step up and volunteer himself for bodyguard duty. He’ll also use this time to open Valerie’s eyes to what they can have together.
Valerie’s life is turned upside down when she starts getting threatening phone calls. Now she’s being followed by a giant who couldn’t blend in even if he tried.
Even though Max may be a gentle giant, he isn’t afraid to get down and dirty to protect his woman and her son.
Officer Max is a big gentle giant who takes care of everyone, and is extra protective of the ones he loves. He’s also Millie’s brother from Doctor Dave. And then he has to be a body guard to Val, someone who’s worked with the force, and who he has a crush on. As they get to know each other, their feelings grow and he does everything he can to protect her and her son. Loved how they came together
What an absolute joy to read! Max is a big guy who enjoys his life. He doesn’t let stuff get to him. That is until he develops a crush on the local psychic who helps out the police department. That is how he met her. Valerie doesn’t even know he exists really but he soon is spending lots of time with her as protection. Valerie has a complicated life but she is also very lonely. She needs someone to be on her side, to help her but not stifle her. These two characters were just absolutely delightful! Valerie refers to Max as Shrek at one point and I about died laughing! Max is adorable, a wrestler for the local circuit when he isn’t being a detective. I would love for a romance movie company to make movies of this lady’s books, they would be funny and swoony goodness all wrapped up together! Another stellar story from Abby Knox!
Get prepared before you read this story because you will not want to put it down. Chemistry, compassion, heat, tension, passion, action and all the yummy goodness of a swoon worth romance. Officer Max is the story to heat up your day.
I loved the characters, because they are perfect for each other. Val is a kind loving mom in need of protection and Max, well, Max is alpha and so swoonworthy. I really enjoyed their dynamics. Really the story had it all. Highly recommended. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
