A bodyguard protects a psychic investigator in danger. He's sexy and intuitive; she's confident, brave and knows her heart. Their romance feels like contemporary fated mates - her abilities told her that they're meant to be. It's a slow-ish burn he keeps thinking it's only sexual attraction despite feeing very strongly. Their chemistry and connection feels genuine, and there's also plenty of steam. Really liked how he fully believes in her abilities!

But he has trust issues because of his ex, and makes a few 🧐 decisions, though it's lovely when he comes to his senses. And it's really hot how alpha protective he gets! Great action + family drama (his), and she's very supportive of him. One minus is the distractingly *huge* side cast from previous series, and the writing is sometimes repetitive.
