It seems like it's been FOREVER since I read (more than once) the first two books in the Gamble Brothers Series, and I have been desperate to get my hands on Chandler's book. Now, I finally have, and he did not disappoint!Chandler Gamble, owner of a prominent personal security firm, is known for his dominant nature...both in and out of the bedroom. However, unlike his once-malewhore brothers, Chase and Chad, Chandler isn't initially against commitment and settling down, which I loved about him. He didn't let his parents' train wreck of a marriage skew his views on love. He just hasn't met the right woman... That is until the ball-busting Miss Gore storms through his door. He's intrigued by the way she's managed to wrangle Chad and put a leash on his out-of-control man parts. She may not be the most likeable for her methods, but he can appreciate a job well done, and Miss Gore is very good at her job. Judging by the body he can tell she's hiding behind her ugly suits and tight bun, he bets she could be good at other things...naked things... If only he can manage to wrangle her stubborn tushy into his bed..."So run. I don't mind... I like to chase, Alana."Alana Gore has spent her adult life married to her job and running from all romantic commitment. Determined not to follow in her mother's footsteps, she hightails it before her relationships can get too serious. That's why she can't accept that the stalker who's been sending her threatening letters for the last year could be an ex. More likely, it's an ex-client or someone associated with them that holds a grudge against her. It's not like she's gained many friends through her work. Yes, she may not be loved by her clients, but she does an effective job, and at the end of the day, that's what matters to her. At least that's what she tells herself.When Alana hires Chandler to be her bodyguard, she expects him to protect her from her stalker. That's it. Even when she finally succumbs to his blatant desire for her, she isn't expecting a relationship. Just two adults indulging in each other until they part ways. What she doesn't expect is needing him to protect her from herself.Chandler is wickedly sexy and everything Alana deems inappropriate. But maybe she needs a little inappropriate in her life...Will Chandler be able to capture Alana's heart, or will he end up giving up the chase?I loved this book! The writing and editing were good, the storyline was good, and the steamy parts were oh-so-good! I loved the fact that Chandler wasn't a commitment phobe, and I loved that we finally got to see the vulnerable side of the tough-as-nails Miss Gore. This book was definitely worth the wait! And not to worry: There's a little bit of Chase and Chad in the mix to satisfy your Gamble Brothers fix!I recommend (and have recommended) this entire series! Be tempted and go one-click this book and the others in the series. These brothers don't disappoint!
