OMG! I just finished reading Guarded Desires by one of my fave Aussie author, Lexxie Couper, and it was AWESOME!!! I love this series and the stories just keep getting better and better. What I can't believe is that this is Lexxie's first male/male story she's written. Is she did any better, I just might self-combust or have heat stroke. LOL! All I know is that Lexxie NEEDS to write more stories in this genre. Damn, Liev and Chris were SO good together and burned up the pages with their smoldering looks, deep lingering kisses and hot, hot, hot sex scenes.I love when one of the heroes in a story struggle with his sexual preference and must come to terms with what's really in his heart. Chris Huntley is an American movie star who has slept with many starlets but has yet to find the "one". He's currently in Australia promoting his new film and Liev Reynolds has been hired as his personal bodyguard to protect him. One look, one touch has Chris denying, then questioning his sexuality and what that would do to his career. Will Chris finally admit his feelings for another man and act on them?Liev doesn't "do" commitment or relationships but will Chris be the one to change that for this sexy Australian? He takes his job as a bodyguard seriously and will do whatever it takes to ensure Chris' safety as well as making sure his career remains intact. He struggles with his growing feelings that have turned personal. Another thing I love is when the hero is honorable and bound and determined to do the "right" thing and you see him tortured by that decision. This just adds to the character's sex appeal. I loved how caring and tender Liev was towards Chris, knowing that it was his first time with another man. Holy smokes! I didn't want these scenes to end "fans self".A secondary character that I hope gets her own story is Chris' P.A. Bethany. I adored her and enjoyed her hand in matchmaking and getting these two stubborn guys together. She was no-nonsense yet caring and we got to see the reason behind her support of this coupling.Another fabulous story that I could not stop reading and had to finish all in one sitting. This is a MUST read for all Lexxie's fans, fan of this series or fan of m/m stories. You will not be disappointed.
