Review / Release Blitz: The Bodyguard and the Bombshell (Masters & Mercenaries: New Recruits #2.5) by Lexi Blake


The Bodyguard and the Bombshell by Lexi Blake is now live!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Blake comes a new story in her Masters and Mercenaries series…

The Bodyguard…

Nate Carter left Australia’s elite SASR unit after a tragic accident. Shattered by the experience, he thought taking a job in the States might be a good way to start over. His father’s former employer, McKay-Taggart, has a position for him in the bodyguard unit. He never imagined himself risking his life for celebrities and the wealthy, but it will do for now. It will also give him a chance to reconnect with old friends, including the girl who’d been like a little sis to him ten years before.

These days, however, his feelings for Daisy O’Donnell are anything but brotherly.

The Bombshell…

Daisy O’Donnell is a girl on a mission, and it does not include falling for one of her brother’s best friends. She has plans, and while chaos always seems to follow her, she’s determined to see this through. Daisy finds herself in need of a bodyguard when a job goes terribly wrong. She’s sure her dad will find someone suitable, but she didn’t expect a big, gloriously masculine Aussie to show up ready to take a bullet for her. Maybe spending some time with Nate Carter won’t be so bad after all.

An explosive match…

Thrown together by danger, Nate and Daisy can’t resist the insane chemistry between them. But when his past and her present collide, they must decide if they can hold it together or go their separate ways forever.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

MY REVIEW


Daisy always manages to find trouble despite her best intentions. This time, she's found one of the deadliest kinds of trouble when her newest job lands her in the crosshairs of the cartel. Yep. So now she needs a bodyguard because her overprotective family (I'm looking at you, dad!) doesn't think she can protect herself. But before that bodyguard makes his appearance, she plans on having some fun at their club, before she's forced into lockdown. When that fun comes in the form of a gorgeous guy with an Aussie accent and she recognizes him as a childhood crush, oh damn she's definitely going to take her pleasure where she can find it, regardless of what tomorrow may bring.


Nathan left Australia's SASR Special Forces and has come back home. But he doesn't want to work on his family's ranch, so has found a new job with McKay Taggart's bodyguard division in the States, and temporarily staying with his friend Aidan O'Donnell. Maybe here he can find a place to belong. But first, he's going to have a fun night at Aidan's club, before he's tasked with his first assignment - protecting Aidan's sister from some trouble she's found herself in.


I've been waiting for Daisy and Nate's story and it definitely did not disappoint! Their chemistry is so freaking hot, what with forced proximity, familiarity, old feelings of pining, and in the here and now their adult selves were simply too much for the other to resist. I wanted to hug Nate as he found a home to belong, and Daisy as she figured out why her dad and brother had blinders on when it came to viewing her as an adult woman with all the feelings adults rightfully have. The og's are along for the ride, taking care of business, and proving to the new generation that just because they're older doesn't mean they've lost any of their fierceness. And there are more mentions of Carys, Aidan and Tristan, making me even more impatient for their story, Sweet Little Spies.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
