Sara and her daughter Delia are trying to leave her abusive husband and her friend and fellow book writer has a brother Viktor who can help with protecting them. Viktor has a company that specializes in helping those and investigating how to help others. He falls hard for both these girls and claims them as his. His family claims them as well. They are a close Russian family that protect what is theirs. Add in her d*ck of an soon to be ex and this book was amazing.
I truly enjoyed this 2nd book in this series. Dimitri hires his brother Viktor and his security company as protection for Sara, an author friend who is having a problem with her soon to be ex husband after he hits her 6 year old daughter hard enough to knock out a tooth. It turns out he has been beating on her for 8 years but she got the courage to leave when he hit her child. The scum is now ignoring the restraining order. Viktor and Sara Jane are attracted to each other but try to fight the attraction. The ex is causing problems but sending others to do it. The threats are getting more violent as they wait for him to make a mistake. This book has more Kincaid brothers, a cute daughter who is not scared of the Kincaid men, caring parents, good ole boys police department supporting the scum sucking ex, a woman scared of being hurt and a very patient man.
I have been waiting to read Viktor’s story since I read the Manwhore Trilogy. And, I am happy to say, I wasn’t disappointed.
Fairly well edited. A few more misses than in previous books.
Viktor is hired by his brother to look after Sara Jane and her daughter, Delia. Sara’s husband is abusive, and has branched out from hitting her, to also hitting their daughter. That was the turning point for Sara. She left that night. But, her husband doesn’t really want to let go, Restraining Order notwithstanding. Enter Viktor, intent on keeping mother and daughter safe whatever it takes. Sara isn’t really keen on having some man tell her what to do, even if that man is only telling her for her own safety. Unfortunately, not listening to Viktor nearly costs her her life. Viktor initially tries to view Sara as only a client. This doesn’t last long, as his heart is drawn to her. Delia, generally scared of new people, immediately latches onto Viktor. Sara struggles with what her heart wants – it is too soon – she doesn’t want to jump into another relationship when she isn’t even free of her husband yet. Threats abound as the soon-to-be ex-husband tries to reclaim Sara and Delia. Will Viktor be able to stop him and protect the woman and child he is coming to love? Will Sara let go of the past and embrace the future Viktor offers?
Once again the Kincaid family steps up and in to help each other. It was good to see more of the brothers, and to see the interaction of Mateo and Delia. Looking forward to more of this fierce family. Enjoy!

(3.5 stars)
When Sara left her abusive husband, you would think that he would just let her go. It wasn’t like he really wanted her, but no, some people just don’t let go. So Sara ends up getting help in the form of Viktor Kincaid, who becomes her bodyguard. Viktor keeps having to remind himself that Sara is a client and that he needs to keep this professional, even though everything inside him is screaming that she should be more. When Viktor starts to fall not only for Sara but for her daughter, Delia, he decides that once this is over, he will make them his. Sara is understandably gun shy, but Viktor is willing to be patient with her and wait until she is ready. But when Viktor is seen out in public with Sara, the danger increases and the threats become more real. Can Viktor keep his promise and keep them safe?
So….. this was book two of the series, and I wasn’t aware of that when I signed up. I’m sure that if I had read book one, I would have liked this one better. I felt like something was missing, and I still, after having thought on it, can’t figure out just what it is. Maybe its the flow, or the fact that there were some things that just bugged me, IDK. I do know that a Marine is a Marine, not a soldier.
This is an action packed story; with drama, danger, and the sexy time was ok. This was just an ok story, and I give this 3.5 stars.
Sara Riley has left her abusive husband and filed for divorce after he hit their child so hard it knocked out her front tooth. He’s not ready to let her go, though and continues to break the restraining order she’s taken out against him. She can’t rely on the local law enforcement because they are his family and friends. Knowing just how desperate his friend is, fellow romance author Dimitri Kincaid brings in his brother Viktor and the security firm he owns to keep his friend and her daughter safe from harm.
Former Marine turned bodyguard and security specialist, Viktor Kincaid jumps at the chance to help his brother’s friend. From the moment he lays eyes on her and her sweet little girl, he knows this will be more than just an assignment to him. He’s all in. He’ll just need to convince Sara of that.
Sara is looking for safety. Instead she finds what just might be her forever guy. She’s skittish, but the fact that he clearly loves her daughter and that Delia trusts him when she has reason to fear everyone has the walls she has built around her heart breaking down. Sara’s ex isn’t going to stop coming at her anytime soon, however and it’s going to take Viktor and all of the resources Kincaid Security & Investigations has to keep her and Delia safe from the psycho who wants her dead rather than see her with anyone else.
This was my first book by Apryl Baker, and I have to say, I’ve fallen in love with the Kincaid brothers. They are all alpha and bossy when it comes to those they care about. While they may be bossy, however, it is all to keep their loved ones safe and happy. And, when they fall for a woman, they fall hard and fast!
Viktor immediately becomes wrapped around sweet Delia’s little finger and I loved watching her learn to trust a man after it had been broken by her father. I loved watching their relationship blossom. Even sweeter, was Delia’s relationship with younger Kincaid brother, Mason. It will tug on all of your heart strings!
Sara is seriously tough as nails. It was wonderful watching her finally be the person that is cared for and pampered. Her trust issues are to be expected after all she has been through, and I love how patient Viktor is with her. Watching her regain her sense of self worth and understand how she should be treated by the man in her life was a real high point of the book for me.
There is so much action in this book with Sara’s ex that I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what he would try to do to hurt Sara and her family next. It’s a fantastic mix of romance and suspense with really sweet moments with Delia added in. The characters show a lot of depth and the storyline surges ahead at full speed. 4.5 stars for Viktor!
I can easily give this book 3.5 stars because of the action and chaos surrounding Sara and her family. This author wrote a very good story that will hopefully bring some attention even in novel form to the dangers that exist and the extremes people may take in these situations. And no it isn’t only men who flip, let’s keep it real. OK back to the book. The story is well written and even though I love me an alpha man Viktor was a bit much in his immediate claim on mother and child. His brothers are amazing and a lot of fun like siblings can be. But I have to admit there was something lacking for me I just didn’t feel the feels but I did enjoy the story. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, I haven’t read any of this author’s work but like I said I did enjoy this standalone read. There are carryover characters in the series and although this is book 2 I didn’t feel lost.I would however love to read more about this crazy group.
I have been looking forward to this Kincaid brother’s book! This can be read as a standalone romance but I recommend reading the other books in the Manwhore and KSI series to really be able to follow the storylines.
Viktor Kincaid is the owner of Kincaid Security and Investigations and takes on the difficult case of battered wife and author Sara Jane Riley and her daughter Delia. Sara spent years being beaten by her controlling soon to be ex husband but the minute he laid a hand on their daughter, she grabbed her and ran, filing a restraining order against him. Her estranged husband keeps finding sneaky ways to break the restraining order, leaving Sara, Delia, and even Sara’s parents terrified at what he plans next especially when the local police won’t do anything to protect them. Viktor assembles a hand chosen team to see to their safety and quickly falls in love with the feisty, yet damaged young mother and daughter duo.
