Book 1 in the new bodyguard series. The story of Jay meeting Sasha, a Russian ballerina with mafia connections. Will Jay be able to get past Sasha’s family baggage/issues? Emotional, fast paced and easy to read. Great start to a new series! Eagerly awaiting book two!
I love this book! This is the first book in this new series for this author. Her writing style is creative and engaging. The characters pop off the pages and make the story seem real. They are connectable and relatable, they make the story. In this book, we get to see Jay’s story and what a story it is. He meets Sasha, problem is she has mafia connections. There is just something about her he can’t get out of his mind. Will he be able to move past that and take her heart? A must read!
Every avid reader gets to a point where, they have a few favorite authors. With these authors you know without a doubt that the book will be amazing and you will one click without even knowing what the book is about. For me, Via Mari is that author. I know no matter what the book is, I will love it. She pulls you into her world, and you feel like you are there. It takes one special author to do this for their readers. I have read all 8 of Via’s books and every book is outstanding. This book is no different. I swore after Claimed, that I could not love another book as much as I did that one. But I was proved wrong!! And this series started because Via’s street team loved the bodyguards in her other books. She did this series at our request. See, she is one awesome author!! I fell in love with Jay in the last book. Now Sasha…. not so much. This book is their story. Jay is the head of a security team who protects two Billionaires and their families. Sasha well, she can be trouble, but I didn’t know her story until now. There is an instant attraction between the two. But Sasha has secrets, that will pull her away from Jay. And when they come to light, can he even protect her? Will he understand and will she learn to trust enough to let Jay in? I will not give away any spoilers. But I will say, their love is something I will not soon forget. If you want a book that can not be put down and you think about the book days after you read it, this book is for you!!! I have read this book 3 times now, and I will read it again! It is absolutely an outstanding book!! This author puts everything into her books, and I honestly think there is not a book or genre she can not write. Just take a chance if Via Mari is new to you. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Wayward by Via Mari was a great fast-paced story in a world that will have you turning the pages just to know what happens next. Jay is a bodyguard who works for Chase (Prestian Series) to protect Brian Carrington. After meeting Sasha for the first time, she is all Jay can thinking instead of doing his job. Sasha is a Russian ballerina who has ties to the mafia; she also thinks she’s unlovable. Can Jay make her see that he will do anything for her and love her the way she is meant to be? If you haven’t read Via’s other series, that’s okay each series can be read as standalone. But I recommend that you go read them.
I love reading Via Mari’s billionaire stories. First there was The Prestian Series, then The Torzial Affair and now The Billionaire Bodyguards! While I have not read The Prestian Series (yet), I loved the Torzial Affair. The three series mix a little with the characters. You don’t have to read one to understand the others but it sure helps and Mari’s writing style makes you WANT to read every word she writes!
Wayward is about Sasha and Jay. Sasha is a little lost and well “wayward”. But with the help of Jay she is able to figure out her own worth and eventually understands that she is not all on her own.
I love the inter-connecting of the story lines and characters. Not only do you get to “meet” new ones but you get to reconnect with old ones.
Looking forward to who’s next in the Billionaire Bodyguards series!
If you have read this author before, you know the amazing ride she takes the reader on.
This is the first book of a new series and there were a few times I wanted to throw my Kindle against a wall and scream. There were other times I chuckled at the back and forth of the characters and others where my heart broke.
This is a well-developed plot and the way characters are introduced held my attention from beginning to end. There is a certain delicateness yet wicked strength about this book (I know that’s a total contradiction). It ebbs and flows as the story evolves and the secondary characters play an important role in moving the story forward.
I absolutely will continue reading this story and I am adding it to my TBR again before I begin the next in the series.
I have always enjoyed reading this author’s works and recommend her and this story.
What an awesome beginning to this series!
If you are looking for a story with mystery, intrigue, lust and maybe even love, then this story is for you. Jay is head of security for a Billionaire. One night he meets a young woman named Sasha who was in distress, and he knew that she belonged in his life. But who is she? Where did she come from? As he unravels the mystery, he discovers something that may jeopardize their entire relationship. Sasha has a secret that she never wants Jay to find out about. Will he be like the others? This story will take you on a wild ride and never want to get off from. I highly recommend this book!
The Billionaire Bodyguards series is a spin off from the Torzial Affair books, only told from the point of view of the Bodyguards that take care of the Billionaires. In this first book, we learn Jay’s story. He is the head of security and set to own his own division of the company. He met Sasha in the Torzial books and was infatuated at first sight! He hasn’t been able to forget her or get her out of his mind. Sasha is a ballerina and at least in my opinion, a bit of a weak and needy individual. She has extremely low self-esteem and doesn’t believe that anyone could possibly want her for more than a night. Even though I didn’t care for her character, I did enjoy the book immensely! There is action and adventure, travels around the world, and sexual tension that cannot be ignored! We learn so much more about not only Jay and Sasha, but others from the Torzial Affair books. It was extremely interesting to see the events we read about in the last series from a different perspective. Great start to a new series!
