“Can Grayson show Lily there’s more to life than lists?”
I really enjoyed this story. I liked seeing how they worked together to get what they wanted out of respect for the other’s job. I liked the heat they shared & the funny way they handled their chemistry at first. Lily’s assistant is wonderful and knows more about Lily than even Lily does at times.
3.5 stars
Lily is a list-making, OCD lingerie designer tasked with using thousands of dollars worth of diamonds in her newest collection. The diamond company has one stipulation to Lily’s dream – security at all times when handling the diamonds. Down on his luck, ex-Seal Grayson drunkenly signs up to be a “Manservant” and Lily’s assistant, Rita, recruits him to guard the diamonds. Little does he know he should be guarding his heart.
Lily has a list for her perfect man and Grayson is anything but. Lily is shocked by her immediate attraction to the rough alpha man. While Lily is hesitant to act on those feelings – Grayson breaks the boundaries of professionalism and kisses her senseless. With a lot of encouragement from her best friend & assistant, Rita, Lily begins to slowly venture out into the world of romance with Grayson. Can Grayson prove there’s more to life than lists? Can Lily stop her list making ways and open herself up to the wonder of life unexpected?
***
I found the title to be misleading, Grayson never really has to “protect” Lily from any danger. The story feels anti-climatic. However, if you want a short sweet, mushy read it has it in spades. However if you’re looking for a more suspenseful romance, I’d skip this one.
A fun, funny, quick, sexy read by one of my favorite authors, Nicole Flockton. This is the first in the Protecting/Guarding series (irksome that Goodreads refuses to post it under it’s correct title of Protecting Lily).
Lily is a lingerie designer who strikes a deal with a famous diamond jeweler to create some sexy, sinful, fabulous wildly expensive lingerie with their stones.
Enter Grayson “Storm” Warren, her ’round the clock bodyguard who’s there to make sure no one robs her–and she doesn’t rob the diamond guys. He’s no interest in this spoiled princess, until he discovers she’s actually a normal woman who hides behind her company to keep people from discovering her past and her pain.
What’s not to love? A feisty heroine, a sexy alpha, and plenty of sparks!
Quick read which leads you right into the next book…
