When Landon is offered an assignment to be the bodyguard of a gorgeous young male model, he expects the case to be nothing he wants. He certainly has no interest in following a spoiled, rich young model around Milan, Italy from one catwalk and party to another, and he doubts the threats Jinx has been receiving have any real merit to them. Probably just some teenaged fans stalking their favorite … favorite “boy model” and nothing to get worked up about. But when Jinx’s own father says the exact same thing, it makes Landon inexplicably angry and protective over him, because Landon would never allow his own son, Ari, to be threatened by anyone. Only Jinx’s mother and Landon’s agency fear for the young man’s safety, so Landon takes the case despite his qualms and soon realizes Jinx badly needs two things that are up to now missing in his life—a firm hand and some unconditional love—and love not based on how much money he can bring to his family.
Jinx has never met a man like Landon before. The handsome, fearless bodyguard who gives him orders and expects him to do his best to follow them, also awakens a passion in Jinx that no female has ever managed to do before, an undeniable attraction that could match the need that seems to grow stronger every day. But could Jinx actually be falling for another man? Problems between the two abound—Landon is almost twenty years older for one thing, and they come from two vastly different worlds. In order to work it out between them, Jinx has to learn the truth of who’s behind the threats to his life, and discover who his enemies and his allies really are. He has to learn to fight for his happiness even if it means facing a killer.

This was another great entry in the Sweet Surrender series. I am glad that Landon remains true to his gruff and grumpy character, no matter what else is going on. He makes me smile. The sparks fly when he meets sweet Micah, who is around the same age as Landon’s son Arizona. Micah is a gorgeous model who seems spoiled and bratty, but he is actually desperate for someone to see the man he really is behind the façade. Landon does just that, and I love them as a couple!
The story focuses almost entirely on Landon and Micah’s relationship until violence and evil come into play. Both men are tested and have to dig deep for strength. This is the point that confirmed for me that I am not a fan of Samantha. She could be just as powerful but more likeable if she didn’t jump to conclusions regarding the people she should trust more than just about anyone else. I understand that she is protective over Micah, much like Landon is over Ari, and she means well. It still annoys me.
The writing is well done, the love and the hate are both believable. I love Micah and Landon, and I am very happy with their story. Now I will anxiously await the next book, which will introduce a character I am excited to meet. This series is terrific, and I am really enjoying it!
A fun age-gap bodyguard romance. 4.5
Jinx (Micah) is a world-famous fashion model, sexy, beautiful, and very much in demand. Landon, father, bodyguard, and determined to protect Jinx, no matter what the cost. Even though the kink was a little lighter in this one than the previous books in this series, Landon and Jinx were amazing together to damn hot! You will get May/December and gay for you while reading this one. The refreshing thing with the GFY is that Jinx was so accepting of it. There wasn’t the angst that I’ve read in some books. No complaints, because I do like my angst, but this made it different in just the right way. I also loved the fact that Landon was so accepting of the age gap between him and Jinx too. Daddy/boy is mentioned a few times in this book as well, which I totally loved, but I don’t consider this a daddy kink book. Not in the least. While it was easy for me to figure out who was behind the threats, it didn’t take away from me enjoying this story. I’m a huge fan of T.S. McKinney, and I cannot wait to read what she brings us next.
Jinx and Landon are HOT together! Never a enemies to lovers book made me cheer for the couple so hard like this one!
Now Waiting for the final chapter of this story
Loved this one!! Strong demanding bodyguard and a young stunning model, a big brat!!.
It seems Micah, a famous model, is getting threats and needs a bodyguard. Landon will be the man.
With Micah being a brat and Landon being the demanding man they can’t stand each other, fights and strong filthy words flying all over. Only their attraction to each other seems stronger.
Micah isn’t as straight as he thought and Landon introduces him into his gay sex life.
“I was as weak as a kitten but as excited as a puppy”
Age gap of nineteen years, Daddy and baby-boy names, witty and bratty comments from both sides make this read into a fantastic, hot steamy, endearing and very appealing and delicious read. Then there is the dark angsty side and some family drama and yahh we got a story where is also depth. I loved this read very!!
This story has two main characters Jinx a male model who is just realizing his sexuality and Landon a bisexual bodyguard who is sent to protect him. This story could be read as a stand alone. The plot from Book 1 is not even mentioned until about 85% into the story. The majority of the book is centered around Landon and Jinx and developing their relationship. I did find there story interesting due to Jinx never being with a man and Landon never really wanted to be dominant with anyone before. It was an interesting dynamic and the romantic scenes were good as well. I feel that the ending was rushed and the issue revolving around why Landon was there was resolved pretty quickly and it did feel a bit rushed There were also a few editing errors but I also read an ARC of this story. . Overall I did like this story and I would recommend.
