I would like to say this is a standalone but I did have some difficulty following who is who and what occurred with previous cases. However, it started with a tear-jerker scene in the prologue of MMC as a little boy trying to save his Father’s life who was shot down by his evil uncle. Then we go into the present and it’s non-stop action & suspense throughout which I enjoyed.

The romance was also sweet but a bit underdeveloped. But you have a strong heroine and a kick-ass Alpha Hero who would do anything to protect his woman.

Mystery and danger around every corner! With the next book in her Bachelor Bodyguards series, Lisa Childs takes us on a ride of suspense as Blair and Ivan are challenged and thrust into the past to seek answers and run from the sinister visitors lurking. The characters were easy to like, the storyline was intense and the danger was satisfying. There were a lot of characters and past cases to keep up with for a stand alone, but if you're kept up with the series along the way you will feel less overwhelmed. I wanted more development in their relationship and a bit more fill in on the past happenings with this group of investigators, but overall it was a solid, entertaining read.

The story follows Ivan Chekov, a bodyguard with a dark past and a tainted family name, who’s tasked with protecting Blair Etheridge, an art gallery owner targeted by someone determined to stop her from reopening her father’s gallery. Despite her initial distrust due to Ivan’s surname, Blair soon sees the honorable man behind the reputation.

As danger closes in, their close proximity sparks undeniable chemistry, but both must confront their painful pasts to embrace a future together. With strong emotional depth, relatable characters, and nonstop tension, this is an intense, satisfying read.

Personal Security is the 15th book in the Bachelor Bodyguards series, by Lisa Childs. Romantic Suspense is one of my favorite genres, and this one certainly came up to expectations. There was so much chemistry between Blair and Ivan. All the bodyguards seem to be hot in this series. I would recommend it to others.

I received and ARC from NetGalley and Harlequin Romantic Suspense, and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

While I haven’t read all the first ones in this series yet, I can say it is a good standalone book. The stories center around the people at Payne Protection Agency, sort of a misfits group out to project and right wrongs. This time it is Blair who needs protecting and Ivan is one of those assigned to protect her art gallery and keep her alive. With their past getting in the way and the danger mounting, will they even make it out alive to find their love for each other. I liked the twists and turns Ms. Childs gave us Ivan and Blair’s story. Their attraction eventually turning into less hate and more love.

I really liked this book. I love a good suspense story and this did not disappoint. The story was interesting and kept me on my toes!

Mystery, murder, intrigue, suspense - definite sizzle - and one loveable Rotti who steals the show on the regular. Complex and solid plot with a HFN and more mystery to come. A must for mystery fans!
