This is the first book that I have read by Katherine Garbera and I must say that I am so enjoying the first book in this series “Bodyguard Most Wanted.” This is an entertaining read that has its share of drama, action packed, mystery, mayhem, suspenseful adventure, twists, turns, romance, great characters and a plot that held me captive turning page after page. Luna is a female bodyguard working for Price Security. Nick is a sexy playboy billionaire. With numerous attempts on his life and with the recent murder of Nick’s look alike bodyguard he is need of help from Price Security. Nick hasn’t lead an easy life with many dying in his family yet he survives. Nick’s father has been receiving threatening letters stating that Nick is not the rightful heir. Luna works for Price Security and she has been tasked as Nick’s new bodyguard. As Luna is working closely with Nick protecting him; their feelings come front and center. Luna knows she should not get involved with Nick but the hearts wants what the hearts wants. These two are great together, love their instant attraction, chemistry and the mystery surrounding Nick and his family.
Who is out to kill Nick, who is sending threatening letters to Nick’s dad, will Luna be able to protect and keep Nick safe, is there an HEA in store for Nick and Luna?
I received an ARC via NetGalley and Harlequin Suspense and I am leaving my review voluntarily.
Not what I would typically read but this dangerous adventure was a great love story that you don't want to miss. I'm excited for the next edition!
This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the first book in the Price Security series. This is a fast paced suspenseful read that kept me guessing with some romance mixed into it. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
When I am in the mood for an easy read that I know will have a great love story and a cool story line, I pick up a Harlequin Romance. I call them my palate cleanser from High Fantasy and Series that make you invest all your time. I have found so many good authors by reading these books and I am going to keep my eye out for this author. She has a keen sense of a good suspenseful romance. I love that I always know what I am going to get, and this book was exactly what I expected it to be. It was a fast-paced easy love story. The romance was very insta love as the two main characters are thrown in the action-packed bodyguard saving the life of her client over and over.
I really enjoyed the role reversal of her being the bodyguard and the billionaire playboy being guarded by her. The Price Security team was a rag tag group of people set to keep their client safe. I loved the found family dynamic of the team.
The story was easy but kept me guessing. I swore I knew who the attempted murder was, and I was so wrong. The love story was fast in their attraction to each other and how fast they fell for each other. Right from the first moment they met you knew they were going to be together, as long as they can live throw all the murder attempts.
I would recommend this book to anyone that like a quick suspenseful romance novel with a great insta love story.
Nicholas is at a point in his life where he feels invincible where it seems he keeps surviving the many attempts at his life. But when a body guard of his thats also his look alike ends up dying hes a bit iffy about getting another. That is until Luna and her team are now the ones looking out for him. After a steamy kiss though now its got him even more iffy about her being his body guard when he really wants to protect her.
So this is a pretty good book I've read plenty of bodyguard to lover kind of books and this book still managed to find ways to keep itself unique from others enough to be pretty enjoyable. There was plenty going on a few attempts at Nicholas's life throughout the book. And you can really see the confliction that he was having having Luna as his protector and wanting to protect her. There were a few steamy moments in the book if you're into that sort of thing. With each close call that I was interested in how they were working to put the pieces together on who it might be and still being surprised at the end who actually was. This was a pretty good read.
Neat twist on a bodyguard story. Here we have billionaire Nick, who has survived many attempts on his life, and the female bodyguard hired to protect him. Nick feels invulnerable which makes him resistant to Luna's attempts to protect him. Luna is determined to keep him safe and it sets up quite the power struggle between them. Along with that power struggle are sparks of attraction that neither can deny.
When they discover that Nick's father has been receiving letters threatening Nick's life for years, and claiming that someone else is the rightful heir, they set out to find who is behind the threats and murders. There are multiple twists in the investigation that led to a suspect I never saw coming. The final confrontation was intense and kept me hooked until it was resolved.
I liked watching the relationship between Nick and Luna develop. Luna was a strong woman with a tough past who finally found a home and family with Price Security. However, she also holds back a piece of herself, never ready to fully commit and risk losing everything again. Nick also puts on the persona of a care-free playboy, hiding the heart that cares for people and protecting him from loss. Nick and Luna recognize that trait in each other, which brings them closer together. But their different ways of life make it difficult to see how they could have a life together. I loved their open communication about needs and expectations, and how they found a compromise that worked for them.
I can't wait to see what comes next for Price Security.
Bodyguard Most Wanted by Katherine Garbera kept me on my toes guessing who was the villain.
Nick is a billionaire who has survived multiple tragedies. I liked his character. He wasn’t swoon worthy but more the strong alpha male. He is surrounded by people and we suspect one of them has been killing people in his world, including his last bodyguard.
Luna works for Price Security. Price Security members will be the following books I suspect. Luna had been an orphan and didn’t realize she grew up developing skills perfect for observing others behavior. Van, the owner of Price Security saw the potential in her. Luna falls for Nick.
It is fiction, so everything moved quickly. They were in love within a week. I liked how Luna handled it when she crossed the line. The Price Security members were her family and she didn’t want to let them down.
There are several sex scenes, several deaths (nothing overtly violent and minimal details), some alcohol use. The author kept us guessing with plenty of suspects.
When Nicholas DeVere’s look alike bodyguard is killed, he knows that this was one more attempt on his life. Since he was a baby, others, including his mother, have died or been injured during attempts on his life. Needing a new bodyguard, his father has hired Price Security. Luna Urban never knew her parents and was raised in a series of group homes and her family is now the other agents at Price. She will serve as Nick’s close protection, but slowly she finds herself attracted to Nick, the man, not Nick the billionaire. Nick is not one to obey others, but he finds himself listening to and attracted to Luna. Nick finally learns that his father has been receiving threatening letters, for years, claiming that Nick is not the rightful heir to his father’s estate. The letters state that their son is the rightful heir and they will stop at nothing to make it so. Delving into his father’s affairs, will they find the person who has sent the letters before more lives are lost? An interesting twist on the bodyguard theme with an exciting ending! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)
This was a good reverse bodyguard romance. We have a female bodyguard for our billionaire playboy. And while that sounds a bit touchy, it really wasn’t. We got into the inner workings of our characters and how their pasts affected them. Our “playboy “is definitely soft deep inside. I enjoyed the war for control with the protection angle. I totally did not guess who was behind things. Which is great. There was a little bit of steam. This is my first from this author.
I received an eARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
It’s been too long since I’ve read a book by Katherine Garbera! Another awesome story that kept me guessing the entire time. Nick was a playboy, but after losing so many in his life, he learned to not form attachments. Luna was similar but for different reasons. I’m glad they worked as a team when needed. Definitely was not expecting the “bad guy” to be who it was.
I loved this fast paced body guard romantic suspense. It kept me turning pages because I just had to find out what happened next.
