Sometimes, bad decisions felt really, really good.
And Gray knew a thing or two about bad decisions. He and his best friends had a bad habit, seeking revenge for innocent people by stealing luxury cars from the men who harmed them. Gray loved the hell out of a joyride, but he started on a different path the night his uncle came knocking, offering him a legitimate job as a bodyguard.
A bodyguard … bodyguard.
A bodyguard for the prettiest damn guy Gray had ever seen. Jameson had been a teen dream action star before he retired from showbusiness at age twenty. He needed a bodyguard like Gray to keep the paparazzi away, and his secrets out of the public eye.
And Jameson had a lot of pretty secrets.
Once Jameson pouted his lips, Gray couldn’t resist himself. He got another bad idea. One that started with a stolen motorcycle and ended in a motel bed.
Because Gray can give Jameson love on the run. But can he make it last?
Stealing Pretty is Book 2 in Bad Boy Security, a steamy M/M series with guaranteed HEAs and plenty of twists. It can be enjoyed as a standalone, but for maximum pleasure, the series should be read in order. Enjoy!

Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is book 2 in the Bad Boy Security series, but it can be totally read as a stand alone. Declan and Seb (from Guarding his Heart) do play a part here, but it isn’t necessary to read their book. $ star read, though, from me.
As is this one!
Gray has made some bad decisions, but is mostly doing some good now. Maybe not legal, but good, kinda. Sorta. Anyway, his Uncle Declan asks him to do a job for his new security firm, and Gray is off like a shot. Finding that job is for Justin Sweet, the child Hollywood star who disappeared into the ether a little while ago, is the icing on the cake for him. But Jameson, as is his chaosen name, puts on a front for the world and Gray can see right through it. When Gray makes a bad decision and they go on an adventure, he quickly realises he may be over his head, with this job and in far too deep with his heart.
I really REALLY enjoyed this book 2. Not enough to give it 5 stars, but I did enjoy it more than book 1.
Gray is a rough sort of chap, bought up in the same crime family Declan was, but these guys are working hard to pull themselves away. Gray enjoys what he is doing with his team, a bit Robin Hood-ish, but they could still get into a lot of trouble IF caught. Doing this job for Declan gives him time to think about his future, but meeting Jameson throws everything up in the air.
Jameson is hiding. He hated his time on the soap, and the movies, but what he hated most was the media. Paparazzi photograpers amd reporters making up stuff, and even when his parents died, Jameson wasn’t left alone. Hiring Gray was necessary, but meeting Gray makes Jameson want all kinds of things he knew he wanted, but could never have, not in the spotlight as he was.
Jameson and Gray’s attraction to each other is powerful, right from the start and it doesn’t take long for them to become physically closer as well as emotionally. Going on this adventure, while fun, was a great time to become so much more. Then things spiral out of control, and Gray calls to Declan for help.
Jameson does a lot of soul searching here. He has put on a face for the world for so long, he doesn’t know who he really is anymore. His best friend, Dee, she helps, but Jameson knows he needs more. He doesnt really know WHAT that more is, but deep down, he knows that face he puts on is killing the REAL Jameson, the one he really wants to be.
The story is quite an easy read, with no fall outs, break ups or anything like that. It’s just a story of two men falling in love, and of one young man finally becoming himself.
Thoroughly enjoyable read, and I wonder if Raiden, one of Gray’s team, might be up next.
4 solid good stars
**same worded review will appear elsewhere**
Jameson needs a bodyguard. Gray needs an opportunity to straight his life. This bodyguard job might be what drastically changes his life. The characters in this book are wonderful. I love Gray’s friends and family. They are so close and that brings on the protector in Gray. Jameson and Gray are made for each other and bring out the best in both. I like the runaway story, and the uncle as the boss makes and appearance with Seb. An enjoyable read!
I was so excited to see Gray get a story after meeting him in Declan and Seb’s story. Gray and Jameson has such a sweet story. The way that Gray cares deeply for everyone made Jameson let down his guard enough to fall for Gray. Jameson who was just starting to accept who he was, blossomed under Gray’s love and acceptance and the love and acceptance of Gray’s family. Hopefully Raiden gets a story soon!
