Archer
Life as a famous country singer has been an adjustment, but I’ve worked hard to keep things fairly low-key. The last thing I want is a bodyguard scrutinizing my every move, but when a fan becomes obsessed, I know I can’t put it off any longer.
Now he’s here and I find myself in a predicament. I wasn’t expecting my hired protector to be so hot, or the instant chemistry to spark between us. But the man is my opposite, with an allergy to relationships that makes me wish I was into simple hook-ups.
I can’t stop thinking about him. Everywhere I go, he’s there—my tall, dark, and sexy shadow. The question is, how am I going to break through his walls and get him to let me in?
Bennett
Throughout my career, I have never crossed the line with a client I’ve been hired to protect. Never had the slightest inclination to… until Archer Dawson enters my life.
A relationship is the last thing I want, but something about this sexy country singer makes me want to try. As he slowly breaks through my carefully constructed walls, and I start to let my guard down, the threat of his obsessive stalker gets in our way.
Will I be able to keep him safe, or is my love for him going to be the distraction that pulls him from my grasp?

3.75 Stars
This is book 4 in the Hunter Security series, and we have another bodyguard falling for his charge. It’s pretty much insta-attraction rapidly turning to love. I liked both characters a lot, and their connection, though it happens quickly, is well-written so that it feels believable and natural.
For a change, Archer is a country singer, not the usual drinking/riotous rock star that we often get in these kinds of stories, and it’s better for it. Bennett has had a difficult past relationship, which makes him reluctant to risk hurting Bennett; they try to take it slowly, but the heart knows what the heart wants.
This would have been higher for me, but the finale has an event for me that was a little extreme; it felt a little unbelievable and yet was a little too close to home to a major tragedy that occurred at a concert in the UK. It just took the shine off what was otherwise an enjoyable book with two characters I connected to and liked.
