I can't tell a lie. The title of this book really jumped out at me and, thus, I had to read it. I mean, come on, 'The Bigger They Come'? There's absolutely no pun there, at all. Can you hear my sarcasm? *snort* This is the second book by Ari McKay that I've read and the description, along with the title, is really what drew me. I really like big, tough men and Cade just appealed to me. The thought of him paired up with a man who isn't intimidated by him, well, that was the cherry on top. So to speak.I absolutely adored Kate Morgan from the moment she stepped on the page. She has a will of iron and a no-nonsense attitude that almost, but not quite, intimidated Cade. She is adamant that she wants the best. And, in her mind, the best is Cade, and she'll accept nothing less to guard her grandson, Jude. Cade's instincts are starting to ring a little when Kate is telling him what she needs, but he can't quite put his finger on what it is. I loved the fact that Cade goes into this job thinking Jude is some geeky college kid. The look on his face when he meets Jude is priceless. The fact that Jude isn't interested in being protected and wants nothing to do with Cade is an eye-opener for Cade that this job isn't going to be easy. Well, that, and the part where Cade is really attracted to Jude, and unbeknownst to him, Jude finds Cade equally distracting. And, oh, the sparks that fly between them. Yum.I was super impressed with the author's apparent research and/or knowledge regarding police and security procedures. This book came across as more real to me, because of it, instead of having a hot romance blooming and, oh yeah, there's a plot line here somewhere. The lengths to which Cade had to go to protect Jude and keep him safe were written very well and made me enjoy the story so much more. I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. Cade and Jude were both strong main characters, the writing was good, and the plot progressed in a believable manner. I'm definitely looking forward to more in this series.NOTE: This book was provided by Torquere Press for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
