SPOILERS I DO NOT THINK IT IS MORE THAN YOU WILL LEARN FROM THE BLURB, BUT BE FOREWARNED ANYWAYI read two shorts by this author (Her Hard -**** (can't type the word apparently) series) and I liked the writing well enough to try something else by her. This looked like a longer work, so I bought it and let it swim in my TBR for couple months. Today I was in the mood to read it.I enjoyed it overall, the writing seemed to flow easily and dialogue was humorous at times. I liked that "spoiled rich kid falls for his bodyguard" trope was executed with a little twist, spoiled kid or to be more precise "young man" is not really that spoiled (IMO anyway), but my goodness Scott did not hold on to his professionalism for too long, eh? It is not really a spoiler, because blurb I think is pretty obvious about them getting together. I mean he resists a little bit, but hey as long as we are both vulnerable after danger why the heck not?Of course this writer is not the first and not the last one to portray somebody who is not supposed to be sleeping with his client do so - we have counsellors, teachers, whoever else doing all of this in m/m. However I do appreciate when it is presented as more of the dilemma than it was in this story. I liked that the story was not sacrificed in favor of many sex scenes though - I liked that a lot.I agree with one of the reviewers that one villain was telegraphed in a very obvious way. I was surprised by a second one though. I also liked how human their motivations were - easy to understand and to a degree pity them, not in a sense that one would or should do that of course.
