About this listen
I was hired to protect her, not make her scream my name.
From dodging bullets in Afghanistan to working for the Secret Service, I know danger pretty well.
Or I thought I did. That was before my latest assignment came with a whole new kind of danger.
Her name? Ruby.
She's the gorgeous as hell, opinionated, spitfire daughter of Senator Burgess. Her family's beyond strict, but for a girl who's so innocent, she's anything but sweet.
Wicked green eyes, curves that beg me to touch them, and a smile that makes me think dirty, dirty thoughts.
Her father's a nightmare - a totalitarian who rules his family with an iron fist. He decides what clothes his daughters wear, what books they read, where they can go - hell, who they marry.
Ruby can pretend with them, but she can't pretend with me. I can tell there's more to her than the demure southern belle she has to be in public.
But I'm a professional, hired to be her bodyguard. I know better than to fall for someone I'm supposed to protect, but with every glance, every accidental touch, every word she says to me, I just want her more.
I want to tear away the innocent good girl veneer and make the real Ruby scream my name as she rakes her nails down my back.
It's f--king dangerous. If we get caught, there will be hell to pay - and it'll be worse for her.
But I don't think I can stay away.
Slow Burn is a full-length completely stand-alone novel with a happily-ever-after ending and steamy scenes that might require a cold shower.

Story
I don’t love him. I don’t even like him.I just want him. Eli Loveless was my nemesis from the first day of kindergarten until we graduated high school. Everything I did, he had to do better—and vice versa. The day he left town was the best day of my life. Ten years later, the day he came back was the worst. Now he’s my co-worker. Grown-up Eli Loveless is sexy as sin. He’s hotter than asphalt in the summer. The irritating kid I once knew is gone, and he’s been replaced by a man with green eyes, perfect abs, and a cocky smile. It’s bad that I want him. It’s worse that he wants me back.

Fighting wildfires is dangerous as hell, but it's still the best damn job in the world. And women? They practically line up to slide down my pole. I never did like repeating myself. Not since she broke my heart into a thousand pieces, anyway. Clementine's that ex. The one I haven't seen in eight years. The one I thought I was going to marry until she dumped my ass while I was on active duty in Afghanistan.

Marisol locks me out of my own concert by accident. She's wearing a suit at a rock show, searching for her lost law school textbook, has no idea who I am, and for the first time in years, I'm hooked. She's smart, driven, and utterly gorgeous. The sort of girl who earnestly believes in following the rules and hates when others don't. I'm a huge rock star, recovering addict, and general f--kup. Our relationship is for show and that's all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more.

But there's the way he looks at me. Like he knows every dirty thought I've had about him - and he likes them. There's the way my pulse skyrockets every time his hand brushes mine. I'm the ambassador's daughter. I know better than to mess around with a foreign head of state.

Bull riding is dangerous as hell, but that’s half the fun. Guts, glory, and cute country girls lined up for days. It may take only eight seconds to win, but I can go all night. Yeah, I’ve broken almost every bone in my body at some point, but I’ve been the world rodeo champion two years running. Nothing’s gonna keep me from making it three. Not even Mae Guthrie....

My boss swore kidnapping the accountant’s daughter would be quick and easy. Just find the girl at the wedding, stuff her into a car, and let someone else drive her off. My last dirty job before I get promoted. I wasn’t supposed to dance with her all night. I wasn’t supposed to kiss her, hook up with her outside the wedding, or beat up the getaway driver up when I found him in the parking lot, totally f--king wasted. And I absolutely wasn’t supposed to drive her to the safe house myself.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

HOT AND SEXY
This is a great book. A small part of me feels like it gives Christians a bad rep, but I myself having grown up in a very conservative Christian familyI think this book in away reminds us that we have to be careful how we teach other people about God, and stop making them think he’s some bloodthirsty gangster out to get us because he isn’t. I wouldn’t mind a few more audiobooks like this.

Hot as sin!
The heroine in this story is the daughter of a ultra-conservative, hyper religious senator who’s up for re-election. Recently divorced and having attracted a stalker, her father hires a bodyguard who is a Secret Service agent on administrative leave. She’s so oppressed by her family, having moved back into her parents home after divorcing her gay husband, and isn’t allowed to have any opinions of her own. Her bodyguard falls for her and they start having a secret affair, while the stalker continues to send letters and follow her. This audiobook was just engaging and the narration was spot on for the characters. Great entertainment!

Unique plot, nice story ✨
This was a pretty nice book with a unique story.
I really liked Michael as a whole, and Ruby's personality was also enjoyable as hell, especially in the funny and reckless parts.
Spicy times were nicely written, maybe a tiny bit exaggerated and a bit repetitive, but they did leave me with a nice feeling.
Didn't particularly like the opposite sex voices of both the narrators. CJ's female voice had a terrible sound and accent, while Lucy's male voice wasn't "male" enough. all in all I still quite enjoyed it although I wouldn't see myself listening to it again.
Plot 🌟🌟🌟/5

Slow Burn: A Bodyguard Romance
This was my first Roxie Noir book. It won't be my last one. It wasn't very original but I stilled enjoyed it. the sex scenes were very hot and explicit. So if you don't like scenes like that then it won't be your cup of tea.
