Do you know what I got for always being the good girl? A cheating ex, fake friends, and now a
scandal that has even my own father ashamed of me.
No one believes it isn’t me on the video. My new bodyguard is no exception. Mason is not only my brother’s best friend,
but my newly assigned babysitter who wishes he was anywhere
but here.
He’s both hot and judgmental. It’s a maddening combination that has me
wanting to push all his buttons.
With his bad boy vibe, alpha demeanor and the way he calls
me princess, I'm convinced my draw to him is madness. Until I learn under the
tattoos and piercings there may be more than meets the eye. Turns out I may not
be the only one fighting the attraction.
I’m determined not to be the helpless girl everyone thinks I
am, even if it means taking drastic measures.
The question is whose side will Mason be on in the end?
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
This is a new-to-me author and I loved the story.
"He was sex on an angry stick."
Avery finds herself in the middle of a sex tape scandal, which jeopardises her father's mayoral election. With no one believing that it's not her in the video, her father appoints a bodyguard to keep her safe from the paparazzi and to make sure she toes the PR line. The bodyguard might be gorgeous but he's also stern, and seems to have judged her before he even really knows her.
"The thought struck me that perhaps the problem was she was more my cup of tea than I liked."
Babysitting a spoilt princess is the last thing Mason wants to do when he's trying to get his new security business off the ground, but he can't deny this favour for his best friend. However, as judgemental as he is about her, she pleasantly surprises him at every turn, and he's beyond attracted to her.
"I think we both knew the moment I got into this bed we wouldn't be sleeping."
I really enjoyed this story. Avery is far from a spoilt society girl - she's soft-hearted and pretty sweet, and a good girl. I loved how she stood up for herself and the smart way she asserted her independence. Mason is a stand-up guy but closed off and has huge barriers around his heart, which stop people from getting close to him. I loved how Avery chipped through those barriers. Beneath his tough guy façade, he was terribly vulnerable and fearful of rejection. I enjoyed how loving Avery made him re-evaluate the way he looked at his life and pushed him outside of his comfort zone, and helped him to realise what made him really happy.
A great, sexy, slightly angsty story with a bit of mystery thrown in.
