Via Mari does it again in Wayward, her first book in the Billionaire Bodyguard series. This book is Sasha and Jay’s story but also other characters from her books pop in. In this book you will find drama, secrets, steam that will keep you wanting to read more and more. I love how Via Mari has such wonderful and complex characters and how I always find myself reading in one sitting. I am always so drawn into the story.
Sasha is a Russian Ballerina who is smart, beautiful and independent. And Jay is a bodyguard to two very wealthy men. As soon as these two meet, you can feel the attraction and the passion through the steamy scenes light up this book even more. What I loved the most is the questions I asked myself though the whole time reading. Can Jay overcome Sasha’s past? Can these two find the love they need and deserve in each other? And by the end, my questions were answered.
I highly recommend this five star read. You will find passion, tension, and suspense. Via Mari hit it out of the park with this one and I cannot wait to read more in this series!

5-Stars
Wayward is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. It takes place during the same time as the Torzial Affair series. It features Jay and Sasha as the main characters. Once again this author amazes me with how action packed and easy to follow her storyline is. I loved the steamy scenes as well. I loved learning about Sasha and her background. I cant imagine the heartache she felt from her father not claiming her and trying to kill her. This was such a wonderful book and I cant wait to read more in this series.

Billionaire Bodyguards
Book 1
By Via Mari
Romance and suspense and a whole lot of bodyguards. No spoilers here, you need to read it to believe it.
Sasha Koslov is a Ballerina from Russia. She is talented as well as a strong willed woman. When she finds herself in trouble, in comes Jay the head honcho with an elite security team. Not where he was supposed to be, Jay takes the woman and offers her protection. He really has no clue who she is, until trouble comes knocking at his door.
Via Mari has done it again. This story is a quick read. Only because once you start, you can’t put it down. It is full of action as well as a great romance story. I love her characters!! Jay and Sasha are both trying not to fall for the other. This story did not end like I had anticipated, I was wrong every time I thought I knew what would happen, I was wrong. I LOVE this series. Not for those under 18 due to adult theme.
Oh my word.. This book amazing.. The main character Jay is a Billionaire’s Bodyguard and he is really good at what he does.. He also protects what’s his in more ways than one.. Sasha is a Russian Ballerina.. She is very beautiful and has her heart set on one thing… Love and Happiness.
This book has action, fun entertainment and lots of excitement .. I loved reading Wayward it is a favorite of mine.. I can’t wait to see what Via has up her magical sleeves next..
Jay and Sasha are just hotter than fire. I was very emotional while reading Wayward because I love these characters so much. There is action twists and turns in Wayward that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait for the next Billionaire Bodyguards book.

4 out of 5 stars
Wayward is not my first experience with Via Mari’s writing, it’s the first of the third series I’ve read. While it isn’t necessary to read all of the books in each series, there are characters that show up throughout each and it’s always fun to see how lives are intertwined.
Via Mari has a talent for crafting hot and steamy chemistry between characters with strong storylines. I used to have a preconceived notion that if a book was sexy it couldn’t have substance too, Via Mari shatters that misconception with each book I read.
I have to say I loved Wayward and it may have been my favorite Via Mari book thus far. I look forward to seeing what more is to come.
Wayward is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. You can read this story without having to read the other series associated with it, but if you want to know more about the characters you should read the Prestian series and Torzial Affair series to get more background on them.
When I first ran across the Sasha character (in a previous series), I didn’t like her very much. She was creating a lot of drama. In Wayward, you get a better understanding of why she is the way she is. I changed the way I felt about her in this book.
As you read this story you are likely to feel a wide range of emotions. The story keeps up a good pace and has characters you can connect to. Suspense, steamy scenes, danger…overall a great read.
Wayward by Via Mari a four-star read that will make you feel the dance. This is the first in the Billionaire Bodyguards series, and it shows promise of being another sublime series from this author. If you read the Prestian series you may see a couple of people popping up, but you don’t need to have read that one before you read this. Sasha Koslov is a complex character, I struggled with her at times as she was so complex, but once I got to know her, she really shined. Her relationship with Jay was equally as complex, but that is a different story all together. There is a great build in this story, and you will be turning the pages quicker and quicker, just to see what happens next. Bring on number two, I can’t wait.
In Wayward, the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards series by author Via Mari we are taken back into the world built in the Prestian series and the Torzial Affair. This time around it’s Jay, the head of security for Chase and Brian, and Russian ballerina, Sasha, whom we met in the earlier Torzial books. Once again, the main characters find themselves in situations that are both gripping and suspenseful and lend to the page turning action of situations that may not always be as they initially seem.
While this can be read as a standalone, I believe that it would be better to be read after the other two series. I really enjoyed this story, I liked Jay and how he was so in awe of Sasha from the beginning. I admired Sasha for her strength and determination throughout the story and that’s saying a lot since I really didn’t like her in the Torzial books. I look forward to the next book to see what is going to happen next to these intriguing characters.
Wayward is the first of Via Mari’s newest series, the Billionaire Bodyguards. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading anything from Ms. Mari, a little note, this is the spin-off series to her previously released Prestien Series and has some of the fabulous characters that came from them present. I don’t think its necessarily necessary to read those novels first, but I truly think that it enhanced my enjoyment and just made me even more of a fan of these fab people. I don’t think you would be disappointed one bit if you started from the beginning.
Now in this book we get the hot and steamy back stories of Jay and Sasha. I really grew to adore Sasha. Admittedly, I was skeptical that I could like her just based off of her character portrayal in previous novels, but man did Via Mari turned my opinion around right away. I truly love each of the backdrops and the way that Via makes you feel as if you are right there with the characters and enjoying each lavish scene around them right at the same time. Her writing is still strong, detailed, and gripping, only growing stronger with each book. I can’t wait to see what will come next for these fabulous characters that I have grown to love so much! Thanks for this fabulous read Ms. Mari!
Wayward by Via Mari is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards Series. This book is full of drama and intrigue. It will have you hooked from the start and does not let go!
Via Mari is a relatively new author to me but is one that I have already become hooked on. And this book is probably the best so far. I loved everything this book had going on. Right from the start I knew I was going to be in for a ride. The book had loads of drama. You could feel the tension and the chemistry between the characters.
In the best way possible I honestly felt like I didn’t know what was going on or what was going to happen. This author keeps you on the edge of your seat and firmly behind the characters. Which is amazing given that I didn’t really care much either way about Sasha in the Torzial Affair.
This was a brilliant book and a great way to start a new series.

Wayward is hands down the BEST book that I have read this year! I was hooked from beginning to end with this thrilling and exciting dark mafia read! It had everything I love in a story and more! I was swept along with the characters story and also to all of the places their story took me! The authors writing was beautifully detailed, I could imagine all of the places she was describing. I did feel like I really knew the main characters Jay and Sasha and I was so invested in their story from the past to the present to their future.
I have read quite a few books by this author and she never fails to bring me a story that I love but I can honestly say that this one is absolutely my favourite of hers – it was simply an outstanding read! It has gotten me very excited for what’s to come from the series and I cannot wait!!
Wayward is the first book in the Billionaire Bodyguards by Via Mari and I was so happy to see some of my favorite characters from the two earlier series.
We know Jay from the Prestian series and holy cow, he is a lot more alpha than I was expecting. I think in my mind I pictures him as a teddy bear under all of the growling. I was so wrong but it works for him.
Sasha was a hot mess in our previous encounters with her and again at the beginning of this book, but she grew on me a lot and though at times I wanted to shake her, I saw a lot of growth in her as the story progressed.
Great way to begin this next series and I can’t wait to see who falls next.

5-stars
Wayward by Via Mari is a phenomenal read! It’s steamy, action-packed, intense, detailed, suspenseful and completely unpredictable. This is the first book in Via Mari’s newest series Billionaire Bodyguards, and what a phenomenal start it is. From the very beginning I was hooked, and it didn’t let up until I reached the end. This book follows the same storyline from other series but with different POV’s, which I highly enjoyed. I can honestly say that this book can be read as a standalone, however, the storyline is so incredibly detailed when you have the whole picture.
So, having said that I can honestly say that this author managed to completely change my opinion on some of these characters. I felt really strongly about Sasha and her behavior in The Torzial Affair, yet she grew on me with her own story as I got to know her and connect with her. I love how dynamic her character is and I loved getting to know her.
I would recommend anything from this author as she never ceases to amaze me, and I honestly look forward to continuing with this series. This is a book you won’t want to miss!
Wayward (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 1) by Via Mari. Via Mari has become one of my favorite authors. I have loved every book I’ve read by her. This one is no exception. This is the story of Jay Head of Security for an Elite Security Team and Sasha, a Russian Ballerina who has ties to the Mafia. Jay is paid to protect 2 of the wealthiest men in the world. He has never felt like he needed to protect someone he’s not assigned to until he meets Sasha. Sasha is on a extended visa to America. She is beautiful, Strong, graceful and her performances are a sight to be held. Sasha has secrets and very bad ones at that. When Jay discovers Sasha’s secret and her being tied to the Mafia that is a danger to his clients will he continue to want to protect Sasha or will he protect his clients only. This book makes you feel like you know these people, like they are friends and you feel like you’ve visited the different places the book is set in. I love her writing and I love books that have characters from other stories continue in the next books! Read Wayward you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait for the next book!
Do yourself a favor and (1) immediately add this book to your must read list and (2) read every single book by this author. Via Mari has done it again, weaving a spellbinding tale that leaves the reader whiteknuckled and riveted. I loved every page and simply couldn’t read it fast enough. Amazing!
I LOVE Via Mari’s books! Each one is very well written and will keep you entertained all the way to the end. Wayward did Not disappoint! You are sucked into the story immediately and it doesn’t let go till the last word. I highly recommend this book, and all of her others, just be warned, you wo ‘t get much sleep because you just. Can’t put them down!
What a ride!!!! This book was clearly everything you ever want in a book!!! Hot, steamy, erotic goodness!!!! I read in all in one sitting!!!! Thank God my hubs didn’t mind eating leftovers!!!! Via really know led this one out of the park!!!! I can’t wait for more!!!!
In the first book of this new series by Via Mari, you will find there is more drama, more secrets, more exciting places, and more … Via has brought her characters alive in that you are there, in Chicago, in Los Angeles even Italy. Even though Brian, Jenny, Katarina and Chase are in the book, Jay (main head of security for Chase and Brain) and Sasha(Russian Ballerina) are the main characters.
Jay has seen Sasha and hasn’t been able to forget her, when the book starts Jay is helping Brian and Jenny take care of Sasha and when he realizes why she’s hurt Jay explodes. Sasha, has been dancing in the United States and has been trying to find love like she sees how Brian loves Jenny but has been finding it in all the wrong places.
Via weaves her magic in putting you through the loops in trying to help Jay and Sasha so that you can’t put this book down you have to see what Jay will do to keep Sasha, and Sasha will she finally see how love will can be found.
As I read Wayward, I was mad, then sad, then practically yelling at some of the characters this is why I love to find authors that write books that pull you in with the characters, having the background come to life with descriptions of the places they are at. Books that has not just the souls of the characters but the soul of the author writing.
This is Via’s 3rd series, The Billionaire Bodyguards, but the 8th book. It can be read alone but you might want to see how Chase and Katarina meet and How Brian and Jenny get together.
Wonderful Wonderful book Via, can’t wait for the next Billionaire Bodyguard
