I got about 4% into this book and I was OBSESSED. Age gap - bodyguard? SAY LESS. The tension, the chemistry, the banter?! It was SO good. Sloane and Callan had such a strong connection despite him trying to deny it at first. Some things you just can’t fight. Also, can we talk about the spice?! Cause phew.😮‍💨 Just when I thought things couldn’t be more great, we get a bit of suspense and I plot twist that had me gasping, and I just ate it up. I read it in one sitting, couldn’t put it down, it’s got all of my favorite things and it’s one of my favorite reads now. The second I was done it had me instantly wanting more. I need more people to read it so I can yap about it.
