Love in Spades by Charlie Cochet
3.0
3.5 Strong Start to a Series Stars!
I admit I’m holding back a bit on my rating here, almost like a figure skating judge waiting to see if the next up is better or not.
Here, Ace is simply doing his job in protecting important mogul Colton. These two of course, clash immediately as Colton doesn’t want anyone encroaching in on his life due to a terrible past betrayal. So understandably, Colton is going to be the biggest brat to Ace and his team, but slowly, as he and Ace get to know each other better due to such close quarters, their fighting each other evolves into fighting their attraction even more.
No doubt, I love Cochet. Her THIRDS series is one of my favorites, and it’s a tall tall order to even come close to measuring up to such a precedent. What this excels at is the humor, the banter, the UST, and the nicely done smex. I’m 100 percent totally on board with a setup involving a security company who’s owned and operated by ex-military tough alpha men who will inevitably fall hard due to lurve. This too is a series that can possibly have a long shelf life, and I have no complaints about that at all! Bring it!
