Publisher's summary

I never thought I’d see Makayla Pierson again.

Then I was assigned to protect her.

One week. No touching. Absolutely no sex.

Just seven days of restraint...

How hard can that be?

When I walked away from Makayla ten years ago, I swore I’d never look back. So did she, after the haunting lie I told her...But it was the only way to keep her safe and as far away from me as possible.

She’s better off without me. I don’t care if I’m broken without her.

But years later, when I’m hired by her agent to act as her bodyguard, I can’t keep myself away, especially when I learn how much danger she's in.

Now she’s mine for a week, and I’m not going to let anything happen to her. Even if she seems intent on making my life a living hell. She always did know how to hold a grudge.

She doesn’t have to like me, she just has to follow every single one of my commands.

There’s only one thing I’m not sure I can protect her from.

Me.

**This title was previously released as Protector. I've added over ten thousand words, making Makayla and Jesse's story sexier, packed with more intensity... and did I mention sexier? Fans of the original story will fall in love all over again, guaranteed. Also, this is a totally SAFE, full-length book with a happily ever after, no cheating, and plenty of steam. **

Amazing story!

Makayla and Jesse were high school sweethearts and he broke her hart. Ten years later he is her bodyguard and she discover the reasons that he left in the first place. This was a great story. It was fast paste, romantic, steamy, action and a happily ever after. Love the characters and the twist in the story.

so good... I want more

Jesse & Makayla: TRIGGERS: PTSD, kidnapping, stalking, assault. Really liked this story. A second chance romance that isn't just sweet but shows the push and pull and the pain of a relationship broken in the past and never settled before meeting again. Jesse is former military now working in personal security and Makayla is a famous actress who's in need of protection. Imagine their surprise when Jesse is assigned to protect the woman he used to love. This story has everything from flashbacks, mystery, comedy and steamy love scenes. Really good.

Second hand romance

This is a completely different genre than I expect from this author- it's an action/suspense romance following Jesse, a bodyguard and prior SEAL and Makayla. This a second-chance romance; Jesse left Kay 10 years ago to protect her. Now an actress, she has to deal with stalkers and people trying to kill her. He is hired without her knowing and once they meet again, the sparks fly. There was intrigue and suspense (who is doing chasing them?) and action and few tense spots. I overall enjoyed the book although I thought that the heroine was a bit weak in terms of her constant forgiveness of him.

Aiden Snow, with his fantastic, low and gruff voice was perfect for Jesse. He played a passably good female too. Summer Bloom also did really well and I enjoyed their narration overall.

good story can't stand the females (h & narrator)

as is always, aiden snow is incredible. story is interesting and i really enjoyed the story. unfortunately, the female part literally killed me. i finished the story by skipping almost all of her chapters not just because the h was such a massive, self-absorbed narassistic bi**h. no matter how many times he risks his life for her she constantly doubts, questions and betrays him.
the narrator was as bad - dragged out the end of every word she said, "badddd to happen to mmmeeeeeeeee", "and crissssppppp under-shirrrttttttttt"



UGH!!

so could have enjoyed this but... just ugh
