You
shouldn't mix business with pleasure.
Yet pleasure seems to be the one and only thing
on Charlize's mind the moment Connor steamrolls into her life. Desperate to save
her family company, prove she's more than a pretty face and worthy of being
CEO, pleasure is a distraction she can't afford.
She doesn't want a bodyguard, especially not one
whose caveman heroics kick her libido into hyperdrive. Surrounded by enemies, she's
not sure if Connor is a man she can trust.
Connor knows better than to get personal with
clients. Yet there couldn't be anything more personal about his feelings for
Charlize. He'll win her trust, preferably one orgasm at a time.
With Connor in her office, her home, driving her
to sweet, merciless distraction, there's only so long Charlize can resist his
sexy, dominant brand of protection.
WARNING: This is an Amber Bardan Alpha
Romance, featuring one dirty-talking hero obsessed with his heroine, and a
Happily Ever After. No cliffhangers.
Charlize Halifax aka Charlie is the president of her fathers company
and is currently battling her Uncle for control, but someone is doing a hatchet
job on Charlie and her reputation! But after an extremely stressful day,
Charlie and Melanie took a break and went to a bar for a break…but after
Melanie took off with a guy she hooked up with, his friend dumped Charlie like
she was a Duff…but that give Charlie the confidence (or maybe it was the
Alcohol) to go and ask the man that has been staring at her all night for a
kiss, and even though he left her at the door, it won't be the last time she
sees him again.
Conner Crowe has owned his own security (Crowe Security) for a long
time, but when the undercover protection detail of Charlie came across his
desk, he couldn't let anyone watch her, he became obsessed with her from the
first look and after working covert security on Charlie for a month, his cover
was completely blown when she came up and asked him for a kiss.
Both Conner and Charlie want more than just a quick hook up, but
Charlie is in danger though, she was nearly kidnapped, hit by a car and her
name smeared in the press and Charlie and she doesn't know who to trust! Can
Conner show he is loyal to her, all the while keep her safe!
I have simply fallen in love with Amber Bardan books! And coming from
someone who really isn't a huge fan of Romantic suspense books! But the author
makes the books not only thrilling and delicious, but her writing manages to get in to your
head and never let go! And the story line! Wow!! Its panty wetting and nail
biting all at the same time
I could honestly go on and on about just how much I love Charlie and
Conner! I love Conner's alpha male approach to keeping Charlie safe and I love
Charlie's compassion for everyone she works with, my only comment is to ask for
a little more back story on Charlie's father and Uncle, other than that its
darn near perfect! I'm just hoping that Melanie gets her own book too!
I give For Her Protection 5 stars!

She
came right at him.
Connor
leaned back in his seat. Shit. You’d
think five-years in the job, he’d have more discretion.
But
what red-blooded man wouldn’t stare at her?
She
weaved between tables, hips swaying, full-fucking-irresistible cleavage peeking
out from her blouse.
He
kept his eyes on his glass, even if his peripheral was having a feast.
“Hi.”
Her voice was as lush as the rest of her.
He’d
fucked up. She’d noticed him watching and now there’d be a confrontation. If he
was compromised, then he’d be forced to take matters to the next level.
He
looked up.
Mother-fucker.
Jet-black
hair flowed over her shoulders. He’d seen her tug that hair from its ponytail
and fluff it. Cheeky, attention-seeking
minx. It hadn’t been so bad from over there. He hadn’t been able to smell
her as he did now. He hadn’t known she used vanilla scented shampoo then. His
fists curled. But her hair wasn’t the problem, even if he kept imagining it
curled around his fist. The problem was her wide, almond-shaped eyes the color
of butter warming in a pan, melting his brain.
“What?”
She
flinched, smile slipping, then reached to her front. He tried to stay still,
damned hard work, because she reached between those magnificent tits and pulled
out a bill. “I’ll give you ten dollars if you kiss me right now?”
He
glanced at the money in her hand. Un-freaking-believable.
“Do I look like a gigolo to you, woman?”
“No,
I imagine the scowl would be terrible for business.” She laughed, the husky
sound of it had his muscles clenching. “But I saw you looking at me, and I
really need you to kiss me, so if the money’s offensive, would you just do it
for free?”
Kiss
her for free?
It’d
cost if he kissed her—no way out of that, but he’d be the one paying.
She
held his gaze, then sighed and squeezed the bill back into her top. “Never
mind, I must have misunderstood.”
Her
big eyes went soft and sad.
Fuck,
did she do that on purpose? Did anyone ever actually say no to her?
He
scooted back his chair. Well, if was a kiss she wanted, he’d damned well show
her how it’s done.
Her
lips parted as he rose, and her head tipped back. She gulped. He was used to
that. Little women like her realizing they’d bitten off more than they could
chew. She probably hadn’t noticed when he’d been seated that he’d have over a
foot on her.
Maybe
he’d have gone slow, moved in gently, if she hadn’t demanded that last part—right
now.
The cheek.
He
took a step. She swallowed again. This time he let himself take in the sight of
her curves—he let his gaze trail all over her.
He
reached for her shoulder, but the next thing he knew he’d buried his hand in
that hair he’d been fantasizing about since he clamped eyes on her.
