3.5 StarsFor the most part, I really enjoyed this book. And I really liked Tuck, issues and all. However, my only downer is that I wasn't the biggest fan of Lianna. She was whiny and self-pitying, when she wasn't trying to get him into bed.Tuck is ex-military. After his last mission went bad, he returns home to the only job he is skilled at, bodyguard / sometimes permanent problem solver. Lianna Landry was just a job, but one he didn't expect to be attracted to. She's a drug addict, has been actress given a second chance at re-animating her career. The career she threw away on booze and drugs. A child actress that made bad decisions. Tuck is hired by the studio to retrieve her when she doesn't show up for work one day. He finds her in the worst possible place. One that just walking out of isn't going to be easy, and actually leads to car chases, shootings, kidnapping, and eventually redemption.Although the book wasn't perfect, it was written in a way that kind of had a somewhat old fashioned feel to it, but not. Can't really explain this, but again, if I could have liked Lianna, I may have liked this more, but she was just plain annoying. She finally became likeable at the end, but the book ends before we know for sure she'll actually turn her life around.
