This book falls into the second chance romance category. It starts off with the two MCs being reunited under stressful circumstances. Greg is a bodyguard for Hamilton Security and he's been hired to protect Christopher, his first and only love, who has been receiving threats while running for governor. Neither expect the other when they meet. It's also apparent neither knows the true story of what happened between them when they were teens because both are convinced the other left and broke their heart. Their falling in love as kids is shown throughout the story as flashbacks which I really enjoyed. More than half the book is done before we actually find out what happened between them in the past. Once that is settled between the two it's sweet fluffy love from there on out. These two aren't going to waste a second chance. The other mystery of who is threatening Christopher is flushed out at the end, but it took a backseat to the romance which is what I like. I look forward to the next installment in this series which I'm crossing my fingers is a certain ninja.

A wonderful follow up to Found. Highly enjoyable series following the men of Hamilton's security firm and their much deserved HEA.
This story follows Greg and his charge, Christopher, who has been receiving threats as he stands for Governor. What was not expected when he was allocated the case was their shared history and feelings still existing for both men.
There was a lot of emotion and drama involved with this story for both men. They are both strong characters that have had to rebuild after lost love and both have worked to protect others, though in different ways. I enjoyed the interactions between the characters, it evolved naturally between them. Not rushed which I think makes it more easy to read. Their attraction shines through in the writing and the plot line is engaging, keeping you on your toes as to what will be happening next.
Definitely another recommended read from Annabella Michaels!

I always enjoy Annabella Michaels stories
...and I did enjoy this one, however I found some of the dialogue to be too prose-like and formal, particularly during monologues, which just made it a bit hard to fully immerse myself in the story. Lovely prose, but just not realistic as spoken conversation.

Loved this newest entry! Can’t wait for the next one!
I’m a fan of the second chance romance trope but usually not the miscommunication/lack of communication trope. When both parties think the other one ended things because of some outside force it always irritates me that no one mans up to say WTF? In this case the author sets the stage for it (kind of) and it is a bit more understandable so it worked for me.
Loved both Christopher and Greg and enjoyed their journey back to each other. Kept waiting for the moment that was going to light one of their tempers to cause them to realize there had been a problem twenty years earlier and it was well done when it happened.
The threat storyline was pretty weak, almost like it was an afterthought and the author realized she needed to come up with a villain. Even with that it was pretty easy to figure out who the bad guy was long before the reveal. That part of the storyline just didn’t work for me at all but everything else was well done.
