I loved this irresistible bodyguard to lovers romance! It has a little of everything from sweet and swoony, to heartbreak and happiness, with just enough suspense and sizzling passion that makes this a totally addicting story. I loved Jane in past Wallflower books and couldn't wait for her story after revealing her identity in the last book. Jane was a child star who worked hard, and now wanted to know what it was like to be normal while living the typical college experience. But after revealing her identity, there are some who treat her differently, and someone who poses a danger. Her parents secretly hired a bodyguard, Hendrick, to blend in. Unfortunately not well enough because she noticed him and was attracted instantly. When she finds out who Hendrick is, she is hurt. But when things escalate, she turns to the only man who makes her feel safe. But with their forced proximity, the sparks fly even hotter, and they can't help but act on their attraction. As their hearts become invested, will they find the threat before she gets hurt, and find their HEA? I absolutely loved Jane and Hendrick together, they are opposites and so perfect for each other. Hendrick is serious, surly, and an alpha protector, while Jane is unguarded, carefree, and thoughtful. They support each other, have fun together, and their chemistry is explosive! I loved seeing friends from past books, and I especially loved meeting Hendrick's brothers who were all intriguing, sweet, and fun.
Jacob Morgan and Ava Erickson were so perfectly cast and did a great job portraying both Hendrick and Jane in all their strengths and vulnerabilities. Morgan and Erickson masterfully captured these characters giving them such depth, and easily bring out all the different emotions and passion that was between Hendrick and Jane. I was completely mesmerized by their storytelling, and completely captivated by this beautiful and moving story from word one.
I am sorry that this is the last book in this series that I loved so much. But Jane and Hendrick's story delivered so much with it's intriguing and strong characters, clever banter, enough mystery and drama to keep me turning the pages, and the perfect amount of romance to make me swoon, and leaves me totally satisfied!
