Lara Adrian’s sizzling, suspenseful 100 Series continues with Run to You, a scorching new standalone contemporary bodyguard romance featuring friends of billionaire Dominic Baine and his artist fiancee Avery Ross.
Once a celebrated model, Evelyn Beckham dominated the fashion runways of New York, Paris, and Milan. But life under the lights nearly destroyed her, and at the height of her career she walked away from it all. Now, five years later, Eve’s built a new life at the helm of Manhattan’s premier high-end lingerie boutique, L’opale. Chosen to design the bridal ensemble for billionaire Dominic Baine’s fiancée, Avery Ross, it seems Eve’s stars have finally realigned—until her return to the spotlight thrusts her into the crosshairs of a danger that’s been watching from the shadows, waiting for the chance to strike.
Gabriel Noble didn’t go to war to become a hero, but when he returned from the battlefield in Afghanistan it was with a chest full of medals and a broken body filled with shrapnel. Losing his leg derailed more than Gabe’s career, and when no one else was willing to take a chance on him, Baine International put him on their security team. Now, Gabe would do anything for Dominic Baine—including keeping a covert, protective eye on beautiful Evelyn Beckham as a personal favor to his boss and friend. But keeping Eve safe means keeping her close, and soon the lines between duty and desire begin to blur into a consuming passion too powerful to be denied. With Eve’s life in escalating peril and her faith in him certain to shatter, Gabe will have to risk everything to protect her while facing the most intense fight of his life . . . the battle for Eve’s heart.

4.5 Stars – Definitely one of the best in this genre.
This was my first non-PR book by Lara Adrian. I obviously expected it to be well written and it was. I definitely loved the story and its characters, and there isn’t really a thing to complain about. The storyline was well thought through, though rather standard in the bodyguard genre but I still liked it a lot and highly recommend it to those who love broken characters and a badass military hero saving the girl of his dreams.
I liked that both H and h had strengths and weaknesses and how they complemented each other so well. Eve was a model before her world collapsed and she found herself at her lowest. Now she’s a lot stronger, an independent woman owning her own business.
Gabe was in a predicament because he worked not only for his friends Baine and Beck, but one of them was also the brother of Eveline who made it hard for Gabe to think of anything else since he met her. When he recognized the danger Eve was in, her brother hired Gabe to protect her without her knowledge. You can imagine the whirlwind of emotions going on then.
Everything surrounding Gabe and Eve, with their growing feelings, their work, family problems and demons over their heads, this all had me captured and made it hard for me to put the book down.
I really liked that, although it was a love story about the main characters, there was a lot of depth surrounding their individual characters and their lives as well. This made the story so fantastic in my opinion because it gave it a realistic feel and easier for me to connect with.
Even though this is a genre and topic I’ve read many stories of, I really enjoyed this book a lot and hope there will be more books about the secondary characters from this story. While I figured out who the stalker was early on, it was still captivatingly written and suspenseful, and not to forget the hot scenes and quite emotional, raw and heartfelt moments.

Sexy, suspenseful and satisfying!! Run To You, continues on from the fabulous 100 series and is the captivating story of Gabriel and Evelyn. Well written with wonderful characters and a thrillingly engaging storyline. I would recommend you add this one to your library, I will definitely be reading more of these stories and others by this fabulous author
I really liked the romance and characters this author created here. Disabled veteran who is getting passed that, an ex-model who had eating disorder and drug use in her past, it was excellent. The romance was sweet too. My only disappointment was it mentioned the hero had some sort of BDSM kink but it’s barely scratched in the book. That said I totally knew who the stalker was. Still seriously enjoyed reading this one and look forward to more in this universe.
I have loved all of Lara Adrian’s books & this is no exception! This is Gabe & Evelyn’s love story & what a wonderful story it is. They both have their own issues to deal with & we go on their journey with them till they get the happily ever after they so deserve! A must read, you will not be disappointed!!
Run To You by Lara Adrian is the first book in her After the 100 Series and definitely worth reading. I really enjoyed it and looking forward to reading more books in this series.
Gabriel Noble takes his job as the security specialists with Baine International very seriously, so when he is asked to take over protecting Evelyn Beckham he is more than willing to prove to his bosses that he is up for the job. What he doesn’t count on is the possibility of breaking both of their hearts in order to keep her out of harms way.
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
My hubby and child both needed me earlier today, but I was close to finishing this book, so they both had to wait! Such an amazing read. I love reading about 2 people who have issues but find love. Lara writes books that are easy to get lost in. With this book, it is easy to see who the spin offs will be about…so excited to read more and more of this series!!
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read.
Lara Adrian kicks off a new series with Run to You and does it with a sensuous and captivating story between two people who have battled personal demons to get to where they are now and have the scars both emotionally and physically to prove it.
I fully admit to going into this book with high expectations. The original series that this spins off from was phenomenal. That said, I should also say that I devoured this book, I could not put it down, I just wanted more and more till I was done.
Run to You was everything I wanted from this author and more. I loved Gabe and Evelyn from their first meeting through their hotter than hot love story, the forbidden kisses and passionate encounters, to the very end that left me completely satisfied and grinning like a loon.
Reading about Gabe and Evelyn, two incredibly strong people who have wounds others would never see, coming together with a clash of tempers and chemistry that is off the charts hot is something to be savoured and inhaled at the same time.
This is how a great erotic story should be written. Well done Lara Adrian, well done. I couldn’t ask for a better story.
4.5 amazing stars for Run To You!
I love Lara Adrian. Her stories are always page turner’s and full of action, thrills and feels. However, this author out did even my expectations with this book. It’s magic!
Run To You is an unexpected wonderful surprise.
I enjoyed the first three books in the 100 Series. Avery and Nick were good together. In my opinion though, Gabe and Evelyn are so much more perfect together.
This book has feels that’ll touch your heart and a heat level that will make your heart pick up the pace.
Gabe has issues that he doesn’t want anyone to know. Things that he hasn’t delt with or come to terms with. Evelyn has issues that she doesn’t share with anyone except her brother. Things that are effecting the way she lives her life. The way Gabe and Evelyn gently learn to trust each other is sigh out loud special. There’s also a heat level that was very unexpected from this author. Well done Lara. You almost set my Kindle on fire. Gabe and Evelyn are fire together.
I devoured this book in two days. Don’t miss this stand alone book in this series.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
Thank you Lara for the opportunity to read and review this book.
RUN TO YOU is the fourth instalment in Lara Adrian’s contemporary, adult 100 SERIES erotic, romance series. This is twenty-seven year old US army veteran and security specialist Gabriel Noble, and former model/lingerie designer Evelyn Beckham’s story line. RUN TO YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary. Evelyn is the sister of Andrew Beckham, business partner to billionaire Dominic Baine (100 Series 1-3).
Told from dual first person perspectives (Gabe and Evelyn) RUN TO YOU follows the building relationship between twenty-seven year old US army veteran and security speciality Gabriel Noble, and former model/lingerie designer Evelyn Beckham. Gabriel is the new head of security for Baine International but his latest assignment involves a woman he can’t get out of his head or his heart. Evelyn Beckham’s L’opale lingerie boutique comes under the control of Baine Security, and as such Gabriel has taken it upon himself to ensure Evelyn’s safety when a series of questionable incidents places our heroine in the direct line of fire. Desperate to protect his only sister, Andrew Beckham, and Dominic Baine assign Gabriel to watch over Evelyn, an assignment that grows into something more. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Gabe and Evelyn, and the potential fall-out as the truth about Gabe’s assignment is revealed, and Evelyn’s ‘stalker’ is determined to take her at any cost.
Evelyn Beckham’s history is ugly and raw, as she desperately tries to re-establish herself in the fashion world, a world she once ruled until everything came crashing down. Meeting Gabriel Noble gave Evelyn hope for a happily ever after but Gabriel doesn’t do relationships as he struggles with his own demons of family and war.
The relationship between Gabriel and Evelyn is one of immediate attraction but their first meeting is acerbic and intense. Gabriel has no idea as to whom Evelyn is or was, and struggles in the face of his attraction to a woman he is being paid to protect. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic : Dominic Baine and his fiancé, artist Avery Ross, as well as Evelyn’s brother Andrew Beckham. We are introduced to Gabriel’s brother Jake who takes an interest in Gabe’s fellow veteran and amputee Kelsey O’Connor; Gabe’s mother and father; lingerie designer Katrina, and frequent customer Walter Hennings.
RUN TO YOU is a story of family, misunderstanding, obsession and love. The premise is engaging, suspense-filled and seductive; the characters are strong, resilient and charismatic; the romance is hot, and provocative. RUN TO YOU is the first in a series of stand alones in the author’s 100 Series world. I am looking forward to Kelsey and Jake’s story line.
“Yᴏᴜ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ. Nᴏ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛ. Sᴀʏ ɪᴛ.”

I really loved this story. It’s fast paced, super sexy and I didn’t see the ending coming at all. Two really lovable characters, both struggling internally but desperate to show the world they’re fine.
Gabriel and Evelyn’s first meeting really sets the scene for their future interactions. I loved how strong and sassy Evelyn was when faced with the towering, uber alpha Gabe. He didn’t seem to give an inch but you could feel the underlying humour in their interaction.
The story flowed really well, their attraction although instant, simmered along at a nice pace and didn’t feel rushed at all. The story was full of drama and suspense, if you pay attention there’s a few clues along the way which I didn’t really pick up!
It’s a great addition to the series and I’m hoping we get lots more in the rich, wonderful world.
Gabe and Evelyn’s story is awesome. When these two meet sparks fly and it doesn’t take long before they are setting fire to the pages of this book. One of my favorite reads so far this year! Everyone needs a hero like Gabe. Can’t wait for more. Definitely recommend this book.
Wonderful storyline and characters! Ties in nicely with the 100 Series trilogy. My only complaint is Ms. Lara doesn’t publish every month!! Quality over quantity. Looking forward to more of the same in this series. This book was in-put-down-able!
I loved this story. We get Avery and Nick sighting in this new story about Evelyn and Gabe. Gabe falls in love with the girl he’s trying to protect. He was injured from his time in the service, and she had been in her own type of war. I also loved that his relationship with his father was on the mend also. This is a beautiful story of two broken people finding their missing pieces with each other.
Gabriel Noble has finally found a job he loves working security for Baine International. When Andrew Beckham’s sister Evelyn is in need of extra protection Gabe is just the man for the job. Gabe will soon realize Eve is the one person who completes his life. So enjoyed this book!
