Suzanne Sullivan doesn't need a bodyguard. After all, she's one of the most successful digital security specialists in the world―so she can most certainly take care of herself despite the problems she's been running into lately. Unfortunately, her three brothers don't agree. So when Mr. Way-Too-Handsome shows up bound and determined to protect her, whether she wants him there or not, sparks definitely start to fly. Because she has absolutely no intention of falling for the bodyguard she never wanted in the first place... Roman Huson has vowed to do whatever it takes to protect Suzanne Sullivan from harm. And her brothers would kill him for so much as looking at her the wrong way. The only problem is that he's never been hired to work for anyone so beautiful, or brilliant, before. Between trying to keep up with her―and working like hell to keep from kissing her breathless―he's up against the most difficult challenge of his life. Especially when it turns out that the passion, and connection, between them is hotter than anything he's ever known...

Amazon/Goodreads Rating: 4/5
In Patti's Imagination Rating: 8/10

This is the second book in the New York Sullivan’s series and it can totally be read as a stand alone. As with the first book in the series, I listened to the audio of the book and it was also narrated by the same narrator.

Suzanne’s brothers hire a bodyguard for her behind her back because she has been running into trouble. She feels that she can take care of herself, but they disagree. Will her plans to get Roman, her bodyguard, to quit work or backfire?

Roman will do whatever it takes to protect Suzanne, regardless of how difficult she makes things for him. The last thing he needs to do is have feeling for her because her brothers will kill him if something happens between them. Will he have the willpower to stay professional?

I enjoyed the narration much more in this book. The story also had an element of suspense to it with trying to figure out who was out to harm Suzanne which just added to my enjoyment. I also felt the narrator was able to vary her voice much more in this book and I found some of the voices she did to be great. The different accents were so on point. Unfortunately, I still am not able to give the narration a five star rating as there were still a few areas that I struggled to stay focused to the narration yet the story was a five star. I am looking forward to listening to the next story in the series.
