Bedding the Bachelors #6
Bedding the Bodyguard
(Alternate cover edition of ASIN B0161ZH3MA.)
Hollywood actress Kat Bailey is on track to win an Oscar, but in the past year she’s been embroiled in a nude photo scandal, threatened by a fan of her cheating ex, and run off the road in what could have been a deliberate act. Now she’s renting a cabin in Lake Tahoe, considering the pros of leaving acting—including living a normal life for a change.
Bodyguard Luke Indigo initially turned down protecting Kat because he worried his intense attraction to her could compromise the job. But when he learns Kat has gone into hiding, Luke’s sense of duty has him following her to Tahoe. Once there, he pretends to be a vacationing neighbor in order to stay close and protect her. As they spend time together, Luke learns Kat’s charm is more than skin deep. She’s smart. She’s kind. And she's oh so sexy.
Kat’s intrigued by the steely-eyed man who exudes danger but touches her so tenderly. Even better, he seems to have no idea who she is, making her think she’s finally found a man who wants her for herself rather than her fame.
However, when Kat learns Luke is the same bodyguard her manager tried to hire to protect her, she fears ambition not love has been his agenda all along. Can Luke convince Kat that he'd protect her no matter whether he's hired to or not.... and can he convince her that he wants her: body, heart, and soul?

Solid 3 stars. I liked the premise, I liked the characters, the story itself was good, but for it felt like it was lacking something just a little bit. I'm not sure what exactly, I can't put my finger on it, but that's why it's not getting a higher rating. I would still consider this an improvement on books 2 through 4, though.

Kat Bailey is sort of being stalked - her ex cheated on her and she's being blamed by some of his rather more obsessive fans. She tries to hire a bodyguard, Luke Indigo, but the second he sees her he gets a raging hard-on and decides that he can't do it, so he passes her on to another company who ultimately fails to protect her. Shaken, Kat decides to escape the limelight and head for a cabin in Tahoe. Luke feels guilty about what almost happened to her and follows her to Tahoe, establishing security around her and acting like her bodyguard. In order to get close enough though, he has to befriend her...and it isn't long before they're in bed together. But how is Kat going to feel when she realizes that Luke has been lying to her?
This was like one of those horror movies where you see the villain coming and you're practically screaming at the character to get out of the house.... Well in this case, we can see Luke's lies building and about to rise up to smack him the face and knee him in the balls. But no matter how much I yelled at my Kindle, he just wouldn't break down and tell her the truth. And so, predictably, on the morning that Luke is about to reveal all, Kat discovers the truth from another source. And more predictability ensues. Don't get me wrong, this is a fairly sexy little romp in the woods. It's fluffy and the characters are pretty likeable and there's a heavy dose of insta-lust. It's an enjoyable read, but also very predictable.

Virna does it again! Kat is a down-to-earth actress who has an evil ex, stalker and needs protection. Luke is a handsome, sexy bodyguard who turns down the job, believing Kat is a spoiled starlet. After being threatened and nearly run off the road, Kat goes into hiding to regroup. The bodyguard that her manager hired leaves her high and dry, facing danger. Unbeknownst to her, Luke takes it upon himself to protect her after searching and finding where she's been hiding. His team sets up surveillance around her cabin and keeps an eye on her. It's love at first sight and things get hot! You have to read this to see where it leads!

Here's why 4 stars:
-AGAIN in this book, they didn't actually say "I love you." Just "I'm falling in love with you."
-Not exactly the HEA I was looking for.
-Did she/they get a dog? After loving one so much?
-What did her mom think of him? After being clear that she only took one person to see her mom, this would be interesting.
-No Rhys or Max. My favs. Very little with other "Bedding" characters. I miss the intertwinedness of the first books.
-Also, the weird danger. What happened with the random crazy ppl?

Love Virna! My first in the Bedding series but not my last. Easily read as a standalone. The author gave me a review copy and now I am hooked. Luke is a top rated bodyguard and Kat an A list actress. She's different than the average celebrity and Luke is incredibly attracted to her. Sparks fly in Lake Tahoe when they become neighbors. However secrets are revealed and their relationship changes. If you enjoy hot, steamy sex grab this now! Enjoy a little suspense? Grab it!

Hot Bodyguard
Luke turns down guarding Kat then he finds out the guard he suggested instead left his post and something happened to her, he goes in without being hired - what happens from there is explosive.

I've read most of her books, for me this was the weakest. I just didn't care enough about the characters and skimmed to the end. A bit of a miss for me I'm afraid
