I really enjoyed this story. Reading the first chapter I wasn’t sure I would like Olivia but she proved me wrong over and over during the course of the book. She and Riker are perfect for each other and I loved Em.
A wonderfully well written passionate romance. It is full of drama, danger, suspense, passion, chemistry in this intriguing fast paced exciting story. The characters are great, strong and likeable. A must read with explosive chemistry and HEA.

Olivia Holly had grown up with servants. Someone is always there to shelter and protect her. Her father was extremely wealthy. Her older sister is a world famous pop star with fifty million Instagram followers. She’s the younger sister who plays her fathers shadow and serves as his show piece. All she wanted to do was visit her sister and get away from her dad for the week-end but her sister had relapsed with her cocaine addiction. Olivia loved her sister, she just didn’t agree with her life choices. As she started to leave she’d witnessed the murder of a man she didn’t know outside the gates of her sister’s mansion.
Riker has always had one rule, family first. He takes his twelve year old daughter to school every morning. Nothing comes before the first bell rings and she’s safe inside. He’s a senor security advisor for Enguard Security. Sometimes the muscle, most often in charge of firearms training, safety and certification for their field agents. He tends to be the team’s backbone. He doesn’t normally have specific jobs assigned to him until now.
I think this one was the best in the series to date. Nicole Snow’s storyline and characters continue to grow and wrap themselves around the reader. There’s no way to read this one and be able to put it down without finishing it, so plan for the day when you can become fully engrossed. Congratulations Nicole on another great story!!
I am pleasantly delighted that this older man, younger woman story is different than those I have read in the past. The younger woman, Olivia/Liv Holly, is naïve but very wise and mature for her age. She is an equal to our older man, Riker Woods. Thank goodness there is no age play that diminishes the story. She has a quiet strength in her that comes out due to the circumstances that her father has put her through. Riker, he thinks he is a broken man, but he isn’t. He just has had a rough life and now is the father of a twelve-year-old girl. Riker finds that Liv wakes up a part of him he thought was dead. He never dreamed he could be happy again. The way the author writes about the character of the daughter, Em, is amazing. She is written is a very realistic way how a twelve-year-old would think. Em is a great character. As we begin the first chapter the action immediately begins and escalates the tension and the chaos reeks to high heaven. As Riker takes Liv into his home to protect her, she manages to break down his emotional defenses and burrow into his heart. Liv and Em take to each other like two peas in a pod. Liv is young enough to relate to Em, yet mature enough to be with Riker who is twice her age. The story continues down the path of Riker, Liv and Em running from place to place trying to stay alive. Liv finds those closest to her have betrayed her and put her in harm’s way. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.

Still Not Yours is a fabulously exhilarating and ridiculously scorching story about a deliciously forbidden romance that will have you all twisted up and begging for more. This is not your normal forbidden romance which is what I love most about it. It rings of normalcy in a way that most romances do not. It challenges you every step of the way, and it wrenches your heart from your very body. There is no fighting back only giving in to the heat, the possibilities, and hope. What this book offers is nothing short of breathtaking and miraculous!
Liv stumbles into danger and death one day only to find her life reduced to hiding. She can’t understand how things went so wrong so quickly, but she is determined to stand on her own two feet. She wants what she has always craved: independence. Nothing will stand in her way to achieve this long awaiting goal. Riker only wants to protect his daughter and giver her every good thing he can. She has already lost so much, and he refuses to let her lose anything else. When he is coerced into protection detail for Liv, one glance tells me that his life will never be the same. He is not one to go down without a fight, and so we watch as the last hard fought battle plays out one heart rendering scene after another. Can Riker and Liv learn to push aside their budding feelings in favor of keeping everyone protected, or is their real job to protect the other’s heart?
No one can ever prepare you for a Nicole Snow experience. She makes you feel EVERTHING as she creates a beautiful stage, places the fantastic characters in the most ambitious poses, and proceeds to rip your heart out in the most magnificent of ways possible. Nothing is left unblemished or untouched as you walk through this impossible life journey with people that you will never forget. They will tattoo themselves into your very soul, and then will haunt you for a long time to come. This is a heart transforming experience that will you a much better person than before. Your thinking and feeling is forever altered, and nothing is quite the same again. It’s like waking from a coma and never quite being the same person that feel asleep. Things are brighter, sharper, and more penetrating then before. Nothing escapes the touch of this exquisite author and her unmatched creative talent!
I am officially in love with this new Enguard series! It is heart-warming, surprising, and beautiful beyond compare. It is truly Snow at her best!!! You don’t want to miss any of the incredible stories. In fact, I would buy them up as soon as you can because once you bring reading one, you won’t want to stop until you have devoured them all! Nicole Snow is a goddess among romantic suspense authors, and her books are sure to rock your calm and peaceful world. You should welcome that change because it only makes us better through a greater appreciation, love, and respect of people and things around us
This is a great read! I usually do not like the fake fiancée romances but this one is so different – heart warming, sexy and has a little mystery/suspense mixed in.
Emotionally thrilling, sexy, fun and exciting romantic adventure filled with danger, intrigue and lots of undeniable passion…. could not put it down! Adore enemies to so much more stories and this one did not disappoint on any level. The witty banter, heart pounding action and gripping conspiracy all kept me reading from beginning to end.
Still Not Yours is an action filled, well written story and a great afternoon read. Riker and Liv are perfect together because they bring out the best in each other. I love a good opposites attract story that’s got drama, angst, twists and a great ending.
Wow, this is a fantastic read! It is a well written story that is mixed with action, suspense, humour, drama, betrayal, sadness, secrets and so much more. The characters are strong, the plot consistent and realistic. There are so many twists and turns, that when I thought the story would go one way it goes another way, thus making it more exciting and engaging. The chemistry between Riker and Olivia is off the charts hot and their sex scenes are off the charts with sparks flying everywhere. I could not stop reading and hated when it ended. A beautiful story and comes highly recommended.

STILL NOT YOURS-Was a pleasant surprise to me; it’s not your average fake fiancée/enemies to lovers. This read hooked me immediately. I found myself turning pages excited to learn what happened next. The characters are inspirational and come alive with dynamic vivid scene descriptions. The dialogue is fabulous and the action is spine-chilling. There is family drama, a mystery to be solved, untold secrets come to a head, life-threatening moments/life-changing moments, and the suspense is awesome. Sizzling romance is passionate and the epilogue is terrific.
Ryker is a single dad and one powerful protective man. He does have a past that haunts him; keeping him from relationship commitments. Liv is sweet, intelligent, loving, courageous and in a dangerous situation. Ryker’s job is keeping Liv safe; from villains you would never want to meet. Their story is a bit of a whirlwind, but their happy ending is awesome.
Thrilling well-written read. The author does a fantastic job with her characters and storyline. Loved every second of this story. I found myself caring quite a lot for them, and Ryker’s daughter is a gem. The romance is quite believable; they were perfect together. {Of my own choice, I reviewed a pre-release copy of this book via Booksprout.} Without hesitation, I recommend this read.
This story is just as intense as the others. Liv is fighting for her life and freedom, Riker is fighting for his family and his heart. These two make it so steamy with their fiery chemistry and emotions…once they finally let go. I cannot wait for James’ story.

Riker is a bodyguard and sexy single dad. He’s assigned to protect Liv from some bad guys that her father is involved with in business. These two were HOT with chemistry. The age difference doesn’t matter. This couple was made for one another. A steamy hot read that I recommend.

Holy shit, Batman! Still Not Yours is crazy! Lots of action, lots of passion, and the case is by far the best, most interesting one of this Still Not series.
When Landon (Still Not Over You) tasks him with protecting Milah Holly’s sister, Liv, Riker wants to say no. But the amount of money Landon’s offering will go a long way toward his daughter’s future college tuition, so he can’t turn him down. He never imagined that innocent Liv would crack the icy fortress around his heart and make him see a future with not just his daughter. Can these two be together now while the danger surrounding the Holly family still exists? Even more significantly, can they be together after the danger is gone? Will Riker ever let Liv into his heart completely or will their fake relationship stay fake?
Whew, I loved this installment of Still Not. Riker and Liv are perfect together. He’s all sorts of closed off and damaged and she’s just the right amount of sweet and innocent to bring him some peace, IF he’ll only let her. This series has gotten better with each installment, so I can only imagine how great the next one will be – can’t wait!
Every book I read in this series I called my favorite and this is one is no exception. Milah ‘s younger sister, Olivia, has a man murdered in front of her. She escapes the situation and Milah comes to help. By help she calls Landon at Enguard Security. Riker is a senior security advisor, widower and father to twelve year old Em. The plan is made for Olivia to move in with Riker and pretend to be his fiancé. But things are never that easy. Of course everything gets complicated and it becomes obvious their father is not being truthful. I loved this book! Olivia and Riker are meant to be! A fantastic happily ever after!

I don’t know where to start with this book without giving much away but still write a review that’s worthy of this book. Riker, the quiet, stoic beast of a man who would do anything for the people he loves, especially his daughter, a fierce protector. He is tasked to protect Olivia aka Liv, from a gang of murderers, moving her into his home, interacting with his daughter, pretending to the outside world they’re engaged. Liv, a woman who has always lived in the shadows of her dad and sister, now gets to experience what it’s like in the real world, getting to know herself and what she’s capable of. The two are opposites, they shouldn’t have sparks, they shouldn’t be really together until they are. But her dad is not who he seems to be and she is a client, which could lead to trouble for Riker at work….can they overcome.
WOW WOW WOW, once again this author blows me away and this is by far my favorite book from her. The story flowed beautifully, the characters were beyond amazing, no over the top drama, no other women involved with jealousies and misunderstandings getting in the way and what I LOVED the most, Riker wasn’t a man wh***….refreshing!!!
Riker is perfect in his own way, and I loved how he opens up slowly but surely. Liv was a breath of fresh air and sunshine all in one, she was like a kid, experiencing simple things and things others take for granted and relishes in it. These two sparked together, the older man and younger woman, probably the best in older/younger couple I have read from any author so far. Not forgetting Em, the pre teen daughter of Riker, who is wise beyond her years and adds that much more to the story and making these three complete.
An AMAZING read with plenty of steam that was not only hot, but sensual, suspense, action and some twists along the way. The ending was perfect and Riker finally declares three simple words that have so much meaning. Only disappointment I had was the story had to end as I could have read about these two forever.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
I had sit for a minute to bask in the happiness after reading the last sentence.
A perfect ending for a thrilling book.
Liv and Riker were meant for eachother. No matter the gap of age or experiences. She was born for him and him for her.
I would highly recommend this book!
Happy reading!
