review 1: Lorenzo "Renny" Bennett has been getting death threats from an unknown source. As he is a artist, he is unconcerned and tries to move on with his life. His wealthy family has different ideas and hires Sabrina Dedune as a bodyguard to protect Renny from his stalker. Renny takes one look at the petite ex-Marine and dismisses her ability to keep him out of trouble. They are immediately attracted to each other but his playboy reputation and her own personal issues with men is making it really hard for them to be professional. Though there is a real threat to Renny's life, I could not, for the life of me, figure out what it was. Too many variables : ex-girlfriends mixed with corporate espionage and a social climbing business partner. What was really the issue here? I just could... moren't understand.The story would have been a lot better with a simpler (or clearer) plot line. I know there are a limited number of pages but I can at least expect to understand the flow of the book. The developing relationship and sexual attraction between Renny and Sabrina over powered the story. As I have read other of Arthur's books, I am not too bothered by the one book I didn't care for.
review 2: Thumbs up for this one. Great chemistry between the couple, solid love story, and A.C. pulled off a tricky plot idea--allowing the heroine to be the bodyguard of the hero. The only drawback to this story was that at the end of the book, the heroine wasn't allowed to be the strong woman she was purported to be. I think it would have cinched the idea of her being a capable ex-Marine if she could have handled the situation by herself, without interference. I'll leave it at that. less
