Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1)

5 out of 5 stars
The story Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) by Via Mari is an amazing book to read. It pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let me go until I had read the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Sasha Koslov and Jay. Sasha is a Russian Ballerina. She is smart, beautiful, and independent. Sasha is a character that I had empathy for how she has been treated and the experiences that she has had. She is someone that I wanted to find happiness. Jay is the security/bodyguard for two of the wealthiest men in the world. He is trustworthy and can be counted on in a crisis. These two have an attraction/chemistry together. What does the future hold for Sasha and Jay? Will her past be too much for him to overcome? Will they act on their feelings for one another? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is suspenseful and there are times that I was turning pages to find out what happens next. You can feel the emotions/feelings are strong between Jay and Sasha. There are some very steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. You can feel the passion and desire that burns between the two. There is also bantering that goes on between them. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interact with Sasha and Jay. Don’t miss out on a book that has parts that will make you swoon. Highly recommended.
With a wayward Angel to keep track of, Jay has his hands full keeping track of Sasha. This book is amazing for the suspense, complexity of familial relationships, and the elements of danger. The Billionaire Bodyguards will be a bomb dot com series.
I enjoyed reading this genre. The story opened into a story with hidden intrigue. The characters are well plotted out in their parts. It leaves you wanting more.
Sasha and Jay will take you on a thrilling, suspenseful and insanely arousing journey. This author’s words easily pulled me down into their dark mafia world. I absolutely loved reading this book! Wayward is an impressive start to a new series by a fantastic author.
Wayward is the opening book of Via Mari’s new series called Billionaire Bodyguards. I have read most of her writing and I was delighted to see that she added another exiting and sexy series into the universe she had created with Prestian Series and The Torzial Affair series! You can read this book as a standalone and as an opening to a new standalone series but I recommend also to read the other two series as you will enjoy learning more about the connections and relationships and …
Our leading pair is Jay and Sasha – Jay is the head of the elite bodyguard/security team that protects two of the wealthiest men in the world and we met him first in the Prestian series, Sasha is this regal Russian ballerina with unexpected mafia connections that might put everyone in danger … we met her earlier in the Torzial Affair!
The writer is sending Jay and Sasha on a journey that leaves us at the edge of our seat, keeping our fingers (and toes) crossed and hoping that Sasha realizes in time who she has in Jay as we all want her to find happiness … and Jay, what an alpha male … can he see beyond the surface and is he strong enough to battle Sasha’s demons … we have plenty of passion and tension and suspense and I cannot wait what the writer has in store next!
Wayward by Via Mari is an excellent start to the series Billionaire Bodyguards. It is a story of romance with a little mafia/bodyguard mixed in the story. I have read other books by Via Mari and I have enjoyed those stories, so I thought I would pick this one up. I am glad I did. Her writing style is very descriptive and the characters will become part of you as you read through the story. This story is about Sasha, a Russian Ballerina who is in the US on an extended visa. She is well known for her dancing abilities, but she has secrets she does not want the public to know. Then there is Jay, who just happens to security detail for two wealthy men in the US. Jay is drawn to Sasha and does not know why exactly, as he has never felt this way before. What if anything will come of Jay and Sasha? Will Jay be able to protect his clients and will Sasha be able to let Jay into her secrets? You have just read this book for yourself to see what happens to Sasha and Jay.
Wayward was a great 5 star read and book one in the Billionaire Bodyguards series.
I was pulled right from the beginning and didn’t want to put it down. Jay is the head of the security team and Sasha is a ballerina from Russia.
Jay is called in to help Sasha and he’s not happy with what he finds at the club. Ever since Jay saw Sasha he’s always had a thing for her, so his protectiveness kicks in full force. When he finds out that she has ties to the Mafia and is in danger, he is determined to keep her safe.
Will Jay be able to keep her safe?
There are so many twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next and my emotions were all over the place. All of the secondary characters were great. Via Mari’s writing pulls you right in, you feel like your right there with the characters, the detail is great. I highly recommend reading this series, you will love it. I look forward to reading more from Via Mari and this series.

Another awesome story from Via Mari. This author does an exceptional job pulling me into her wonderfully detailed, action packed stories. This book is no exception, there is plenty of steamy, dangerous, and suspenseful moments in this read. I was happy to see that some of the characters from the Prestian series are in this series, it’s like visiting old friends. You don’t need to have read her previous series to follow this book but I do recommend reading them to enhance your experience and also because they are great books. This book is Jay and Sasha’s story and I found myself unable to put this book down as soon as I started reading it. This read is full of emotion throughout and I became completely invested in what happens with Jay and Sasha. This is a must read if you want to find out where the story goes for these two. I highly recommend this book.

….and just like that she did it again….
I have read both of the series before this one and absolutely loved them, this one comes out of the gate with a bang and had me totally hooked just like the rest immediately. I love the direction this series has taken and love even more that we get to see the other side of things a bit as well as some of our returning favorite people from the earlier books. Many thanks to this author for giving us more 🙂
I loved this one and the fact the main character has the same first name as my hubby was kind of fun, that’s the first time that has happened in the trillion books I’ve read and I loved it.
I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure about Sasha at first and a lot of that might be carry over but it didn’t take long for me to get an understanding with who she was and I adored the interaction between her and Jay and their connection was evident early on even if they didn’t know it.
This series I think might jump to the top real quick, I really love how this is going and can not wait to see who is up next.
Once again..Simply Awesome! If you haven’t read anything by this author yet you could start here I suppose but I recommend going back to the start with the Prestian Series…They are all amazing!!!

Wayward is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards Series byVia Mari. Although this is the first book in this series, it is not the first book in the world that Via Mari has created. Like the rest of her books I love the loyalty of the men in this world that she has created. This is Sasha and Jay’s story, and it is non stop action and hot sex scenes throughout. This one kept me reading long after my bedtime. I just couldn’t put it down until I finished it. I can’t wait to read what Via Mari has in store for us. I highly recommend this book.
I have read quite afew novels from Via and have loved everyone and this one didn’t disappoint me. It had been written wonderfully with an engaging storyline which you will find yourself completely engrossed too. It takes you on an incredible suspenseful adventure with amazing character’s that really bring the story too life. I’m a truly excited to read more from this series to be honest I’m waiting on the edge of me seat eager to read more I’ve been left incredibly thirsty for more!
Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) by Via Mari is another fantastic read from this talented author. I see Via’s name and jump straight in. I don’t even read the cover because I always know I am in good hands when it comes to her books. Wayward is a great start to another of her fabulous series and has many of my old favourites from her other series. Hot alpha men looking out for their own with the backing of their employers who trust them like family. And the romance is all hot tamale and sizzling to the point of boiling. Via has once again woven her magic and puts you through hoops where the drama and secrets, fear and pain, love and lies is palpable and we travel to exciting place. There is conflict with some of the most powerful and dangerous men in the world including several mafia families.
Jay met a siren but she only has eyes for his boss. The beautiful ballerina takes his breath away but how does he get her to see she is made for him and him alone but when a secret is brought to light he may just have to walk away with his heart in tatters.
I suggest you read the other series in order so you get the backstory of the characters and how they all fit together. You will thank me later.
I have been hooked on Via Mari’s books from the beginning and this new series has raised the bar on her already excellent writing..I love love love Sasha and Jay’s story and CANNOT wait for what else Via has in store.
Wayward is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by Via Mari. This series is a spin off from 2 previous series: The Prestian Series and The Torzial Affair. In this series we see into the lives and loves of the bodyguards whose job it is to guard the billionaires from the other 2 series.
Wayward centres around Jay who is the head of the security team and Sasha Koslov, a Russian ballerina who was previously involved with one of Jay’s bosses. Jay has been captivated by the beautiful, graceful ballerina from the first instance he saw her. Now it emerges that she is related to the mafia and her life is in danger, Jay will do anything to keep her safe.
This book will have you sucked right into the heart of the story from the very first page and will not let you go. It will drag you through a roller coaster of emotions and you won’t want to put it down. The characters are very well written and have so much depth to them, you really feel that you get to know them.
I really loved this book. I had not read any of this author’s work before but now I really want to read the Prestian Series and The Torzial Affair as I’m intrigued as to what has gone on with these characters previously.
Miss Mari did it again!! This is the 8th book and I am eagerly awaiting #9.
Outstanding, I absolutely loved this book. Wayward, is Sasha and Jay’s story. The instant attraction between the two is palpable. This was such a emotionally gripping, suspenseful story, with a smooth flowing, well-thought out plot, well developed characters, and secrets, that keeps you interested and flipping the pages. You will love reading about this dark mafia world. It’s absolutely amazing and worthy of so much more than five stars!

4 out of 5 stars
What a way to start a series. Via Mari has always provided engaging, well-developed books and characters and this book is no different.
Jay and Sasha make for one dynamic paring. Sasha is a Russian Ballerina who seems to find herself in the middle of a mafia war where she is pawn. Jay finds himself drawn to Sasha and he cannot seem to put his finger on it, but regardless, he feels that needs to protect her. After he finds out who she really is and why everyone is after her, he doubles his efforts to keep her safe.
This book is both fast-paced and slow burning. I loved every sentence and I cannot wait until book 2 emerges. Highly recommended.

This is the first book of a new series by Via Mari. I love her writing style, it sucks you right in and doesn’t let up until the end.
We do see characters from her other series but this story follows Jay and Sasha.
Jay is head of security and Sasha a ballerina. Through suspense and drama, we see this amazing story unfold.
A must read!
Wayward is book one in the Billionaire Bodyguards by Via Mari. This author is an instant one click for me, and I was beyond excited for this new book in a new series. I love that bittersweet, drawing anticipation you get when you meet the characters, learn their make up, and live their story.
Sacha is a lady I would love to be. She is everything sweet yet sassy. She falls instantly for Jay. Totally. Hard. The feelings are also felt by him. Their journey was fraught with suspense and dilemma, but blinding in it’s beauty. I have to say these are some of the most addictive and endearing characters O have ever got to know. Their story was sublime. 5 stars.
Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) by Via Mari is a romantic suspense by the author that wrote the A Prestian series. I enjoyed that series, but something about this latest book/series has stepped it up further and I loved every minute of what the author provided in this story. The premise of this story, provided in the synopsis, is only the tip of the iceberg for this captivating read. The author digs immediately in delivering epic dialogue and intriguing suspense that speaks to the reader making this story addicting, unable to put it down. The characters were incredible and their “adventures” make this story unforgettable. Via Mari is an excellent author and that talent shines in Wayward.
