This is a run of the mill shell-shocked female from an abusive relationship meets domineering billionaire story; she's once burnt twice shy and he's all possessive controlling alpha 'mine. The Details Are Fing Horrible Or Absent Altogether There are a lot of plot points that are built up as important to the character's inner perspective or to the story itself that the author just brushes aside with no resolve and without even directly addressing within actual dialogue.
Here are some examples, and do keep in mind her past is an abusive, controlling, manipulative ex husband that's still stalking her. She's furious at his controlling behavior until she arrives at his house. Once there, she just goes with the flow without so much as a word about how wrong he was in just moving her without her input.
The conflict, problem, details are just swept aside for a sex scene. She's furious that he just barges into said appointment without permission or discussion. He proceeds to ask doctor questions with no regard to her input or thoughts. Yet, the next scene is her curled up beside him in bed the next am no argument or discussion Like the shit never happened and she didn't internally monologue how f'd up it was.
Yet, she doesn't take it off and never has a single thought about the ring or why she's not taken it off after it's purpose was served. Readers are just told weeks afterward within the story that she's still wearing it. YET, suddenly she's okay with and excusing the male MC saying shit like: Don't go outside again.
She's okay with him callously treating her like a moron for not cooking the hash browns, eggs, and bacon in the correct order when she's trying to cook him breakfast. I'm sorry but an abused woman that's vowed to never be controlled or belittled again and that's spent years hiding and running from an abuser IS NOT going to interpret the above shit as "petty bickering. Her reaction comes from him having a bodyguard follow her around you know since her ex is trying to f'ing kill her. And THAT is what she finally gets pissed about. The one thing in all the above that's understandable given the situation with her ex, and that's the thing that sends her running?
The ending is rushed and makes flowers out of the MC's relationship problems verses resolving them. Jan 10, Shiela rated it it was amazing. This book was good. Nov 16, Lyra rated it really liked it.

Series: Billionaire Bodyguard
Allison has been on the run from her abusive ex-husband for four years. She's a corporate trainer and she works short term contracts so she doesn't have to stay in one place very long. Her current gig is working with Logan, owner and CEO of the top security firm in the world. A one night stand between them resulted in a surprise pregnancy. And now her ex-husband has found her and he's not at all happy with her Their love blossoms as Logan stands in as her personal bodyguard and superhero.
Books with characters escaping an abusive ex- husband are typically trying for me since I can't relate to the leading lady AT ALL. Too often, authors who star these characters drive me insane because they dwell SO MUCH on her fear, paranoia, and inability to trust when they meet a true hero-quality man.
It's a fine line to walk for an author with me, anyway between showing all her insecurities and her trials and tribulations, but not DWELLING on it and making the whole story about her PAST relationship instead of her current one. Not once did I want to crawl into the book and bitch slap Allison and tell her to get over it already. That's a major feat, in my opinion which is what reviews are all about.
The editing issues were minor and few and far between. I can see myself rereading this story when I have a free afternoon and nothing new sitting in my queue or on my shelf. Aug 21, Dianna rated it did not like it Shelves: Allison sleeps with Logan, then accepts his offer of a 3 month job at Logan's security firm. Allison won't sleep with Logan again because he's the boss and she has secrets and plans to move to France when her contract is up.
When Logan's business partner uncovers Allison's secrets and puts her in danger, Logan will stop at nothing to keep her safe. I wasn't convinced that Allison liked Logan all that much. She fancies him, but I can't reconcile her statements, wh Allison sleeps with Logan, then accepts his offer of a 3 month job at Logan's security firm. She fancies him, but I can't reconcile her statements, which are all about not trusting a man prepared to ride roughshod over all her objections, and her actions, which seem to undermine her bid for independence.
Logan isn't terribly reassuring and at this stage of the book is using Allison's fears to manipulate her into doing what he wants. Now, Logan is established as a person with some expertise in dealing with circumstances like Allison's, and she's not giving him the option to make his case, so perhaps he feels justified in forcing her to rely on him, but given Allison's sole focus is on getting out, it comes across as creepy.
It's possible that I've missed the hints that Allison is more emotionally attached to Logan than she's letting on, which might have alleviated what I'm getting from the book. Which is that Logan is doing everything he can to get an abused and terrified woman under his control. Jan 08, Heather rated it really liked it.

Ok read nothing earth shattering Description: When Allison reveals she's pregnant with his child, and a dangerous threat targets her and the Ok read nothing earth shattering Description: This book was a good read but had nothing special to offer the reader.
I gave it a 3 star rating cause I liked it Lots of let down The story of my literary life is starts out good better than you expect but then goes from bad Anyway, it's very obvious the author has talent there was some very thoughtful planning that went into the development of the characters and the Security firm the book is based around. However it just seemed to fall off into one cliche situation or conversation after another like such as "Come out slowly. No phon Lots of hope Or I pump her full of lead.
