Moonlighter by Sarina Bowen
4.0

ARC provided by the author's publicist for review

Sexy, funny, even a little bittersweet, Moonlighter is a terrific kickoff to a new series.

I’m almost always on board for a romance that takes us to Hawaii. In Sarina Bowen’s MOONLIGHTER, pro hockey player Eric Bayer is enlisted to pose as Alex Engels’ boyfriend and bodyguard during a security conference on Oahu. She’s CEO of a cable/telecom conglomerate with a major product launch on the horizon. His family, with his brother Max at the helm, runs a personal security firm, referred to cryptically as The Company.

Wait, let me say that again: A sexy bodyguard, a lady CEO, and a hotel suite in Hawaii? Yes, please.

Once on island, Eric’s biggest challenge isn’t holding off Alex’s ex (and the father of her baby) or competitors with ulterior motives. They discover there’s only one bed in Alex’s suite ::eyebrow waggle:: Can I just tell you, I forgot what a sexy beast Bayer is?! Funny and confident and dead sexy without being an arrogant a-hole. I wouldn't kick him outta bed for eating crackers, if y'know what I'm saying.

MOONLIGHTER is compelling combo of hockey romance and romantic suspense that bridges Brooklyn Bruisers fans to this new series. And it keeps the door open for those who want the sexy intrigue. And clearly, we’re gonna need to get all into brother Max’s secrets as we get inside The Company.

MOONLIGHTER is a one-click, for sure.
