I thought this was an enjoyable read and it was definitely my favourite of the series. It was also another good addition to the Four Kings Security Series. This book is about Ex-Special Forces soldier King, who with his brothers in arms own/operate a top tier security firm, Four Kings Security.  King is the main boss though as he was their second-in-command before they left the Army. His love interest is Leo, a misunderstood genius with major anxiety issues. When he’s recruited by the government to work on a top-security project. It doesn’t help his anxiety issues when he starts to think about what will happen to him if he can’t complete the project. When King is approached by a four-star General and friend of King’s to protect an asset, King doesn’t want to accept until the General tells him that it’s is son. Being a protector is in King’s blood. He’s brought back into Government Black-Ops that raises painful memories from his past to protect Leo. Even though King and Leo are so different, they just seem to click.

King, is the calm that helps Leo centre his thoughts and Leo, allows King to let down his walls and also allows him to be his true self. It was awesome seeing King laugh and have fun the more time he spends with Leo. I loved seeing the guys not only accept Leo but he becomes part of their family. They also respect his intelligence. I loved seeing the bonds Leo forged with all the guys but he has a special connection with Ace because Ace can easily pin point when Leo is about to spiral and helps him take his mind off things, by being his usual self and Jack, because they speak the same language. I thought the chemistry between King and Leo was completely off the charts, as well as hot as hell. I loved seeing how Leo’s brains works and he’s completely bad a*se in his own right. I’m really looking forward to reading In the Cards, and seeing what antics they get up to attending Quinn and Spencer’s wedding next. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.
