While I adored the previous book in this series, this is my favorite so far. In the first book, Logan and Ellie meet for the first time. I was unsure how the author would play out this romance since she was still a teenager when they met and he was tasked with guarding Ellie and her father while her sister went overseas with a prince. I needn’t have worried, the author handled the progression of their relationship beautifully and with care.
I almost forgot how much I love a bodyguard romance. Logan is an amazing bodyguard, giving Ellie freedom when needed and only stepping in when he knows she is truly making a bad choice or putting herself in danger. He lets her be a young college student and experience the things that entails, even when those things drive him nuts. Ellie does like to push the boundaries, but she isn’t stupid. She may make mistakes, but she learns from those mistakes quickly.
Ellie and Logan have a wonderful connection, even when they are keeping things platonic and professional. She always feels safe with him. Not only with her life but also safe to be herself. Logan finds himself revealing little pieces of himself he usually keeps private knowing Ellie won’t judge. Eventually, the pull is too strong and the barrier falls.
These two gave me all the warm fuzzies. I didn’t want to put this one down.
It was great to have all of the past characters in one place for a bit and, having read the previous books, it added depth to the story. While this can be read as a standalone, it’s so much better knowing the personalities of the side characters in this book.
