Publisher's summary

L.J. Shen delivers a charged, addictive stand-alone about a tabloid princess who is desperate to self-destruct...and the grumpy bodyguard who saves her.

I landed in hot water with the tabloids one too many times. What can I say? My nipple wanted to come out and say hi to the paparazzi.

After that, my father presented me with an ultimatum—either he cuts off the gravy train and stops paying for my lavish lifestyle or I agree to have a live-in bodyguard.

And by bodyguard, I mean a sexy, formidable, out-of-this-world babysitter who just happens to be good at breaking spines.

Ransom Lockwood, ladies and gentlemen.

Now he is forcing me to try all kinds of weird stuff. Stop partying, clean up my act, get a job....

A part of me wants to tell him to get lost. I’m past saving.

But the other part? The other part wants to save him.

Great Audiobook

My man Sebastian York absolutely SMASHED this book, per usual. LJ Shen as always can do no wrong, and I love that she ventured a bit out of her author comfort zone with the tropes of this book. There are definitely some darker themes so as always check TWs.

LOVE

LJ Shen has easily become one of my favorite authors. Her angst is top tier. I always recommend her books to my friends. They devour them just as fast as I do.

One time listen

I usually love this authors story. This one was good but having the h watching the hero having sex with the other woman was too much. If you are looking for a good romance, this one is not for you. I will return this one and will really reconsider purchasing another from this author. Once this was done, I no longer enjoy listening to this story.

She’s done it again!

LJ Shen never disappoints!! 👏🏼 Ransom was a perfect combination or some of her best characters while also being his own!

I want a body... Protective Security Officer....

Story: 4.5 🌟
Spice level- 🌶🌶🌶 🌶
Re-read/re-listen: 100% yes!
Recommend: Duh! Of course, check TW's
Audio lovers: 5 🌟. Narration was spot. Freaking on!! Samantha Brentmoor and Sebastian York are the narrators and were amazing.

Let's start off and say, Ransom is an a$$hole! I laugh as I type this because I was thinking, "Oh my gosh. What a jerk," multiple times within the first 40% of the book. His antics and how he tried to get her to "reform" ....damn! But oh, you can't help but love the a$$holes that LJ writes us. Hahaha. He, of course, has the best sweet side.
Hallie, I love her!! Love her. She.... geez, what do I say. What she faces is truly heartbreaking. I found myself tearing up several times throughout this book. This girl is resilient! I think she is in my top 10 female characters . I know this post is rather vague, but I really do not want to give away too much. You need to read or listen and get ready for one hell of a great book.
Check your triggers. Both the main characters have heavy up bringings, they valance one another, and Hallie's heart is so generous and humble and is exactly what Ransom needs to humanize him.
As stated above, check your triggers.


As stated above- Sebastian York and Samantha Brentmoor were fan-freaking-tastic. They were perfect at bringing Hallie and Ransom to life.

A little of Everything

Not bad. You have a little of everything in this bodyguard romance. The mafia, the kidnapping, betrayal, and many more. However, LJ does not disappoint. As always I like the perfect imperfect couple. Because none of us is perfect!

Love the wit

Love the funny books lately. Even though I felt the female lead was right for the role. Just wished that she could do the jokes better. I missed the humor because it was narrated too seriously… love the evolution of L.J. keep going!
