Her Mafia Bodyguard by J.L. Beck, C. Hallman
3.0

Mia only finds out who her father is and alive after her mother passing. He has money she thinks everything will be better since her mother and her struggles and she doesn’t really realize her father has not so great fatherly intentions for her. Zeke is her 24/7 bodyguard that her father puts on her to ‘protect’ her (virginity mostly).
Mia has an attraction for Zeke but after coming on to him at her HS graduation she isn’t very thrilled that he is following her to Uni. Zeke as attracted as he is does what he can to protect himself and Mia all while knowing her fathers plans for her.
Zeke and Mia’s love story is something I haven’t read before but it didn’t feel like it was a brand new concept. I loved the banter between the two even though the build up and spice was meh for me. For me this is a 3.5 star and 2.5 chili pepper. I didn’t love it but also not the worst book I read I’d definitely recommend to someone that isn’t looking for much spice and likes a slower story that is mafia with no real triggers though it does contain some unsavory acts.
