MESSING WITH THE BODYGUARD

Messing With The Bodyguard: Maid In Miami Book 4

When an ex-Marine takes the job to protect his best friend’s little sister…what will happen when he discovers that he’s the one who’s most vulnerable?

Aubrey:  Yes, I’m on the cautious side, always protective of my friends and myself. So when I start seeing my ex’s car creeping around my neighborhood and office at weird hours, I get a little freaked out. A word to my older brother is all it takes for him to come up with the perfect solution. His lifelong best friend just got out of the Marines and, as a military guard dog trainer, he is skilled at personal protection. The only problem? Elijah Matthews is my absolute all time biggest crush. Now, he and his dog, Thunder, are living in my apartment. And both of them are draped all over my white sofa, begging for kisses, and stealing my attention. After ten years in the military, I’m pretty sure Eli can guard my body. The only question is, who’s going to protect my heart?

Eli: I have no idea what I’m going to do with my life after leaving the military, so when my buddy tells me his little sister might have a stalker, I jump at the chance to be her bodyguard in exchange for a place to crash. But nothing about Aubrey Shepard is like I remember. She’s not the shy, nerdy, skinny kid who always had her face in a book. Now, she’s gorgeous, brilliant, runs her own business, and slays a spreadsheet like the boss she is. After a lifetime of being left behind, I have built some serious walls and swore the only creature I’d ever love is a wimpy pitbull who cries in a storm. But Aubrey is taking those walls down brick by brick and if I’m not careful, she’s going to end up climbing right into my heart and never going away. Could she possibly be the one person who doesn’t leave me?

Messing With The Bodyguard is a laugh-out-loud rom com with a swoony closed-door romance and a heaping dose of sizzling chemistry. There is no cheating and no cliffhangers and this can be read as a standalone.

Liza’s Review:

I really enjoyed Messing With the Bodyguard. Aubrey has always been to stay more in the background of the friend group, so I was excited for her to get her happily ever after. Her hero being her older brother’s best friend only made this book even more like catnip to me.

Eli and Aubrey were pretty much polar opposites, but that worked for me. Eli has been training dogs while in the Marines, and he even adopted Thunder, the pitbull who couldn’t pass the tests to be a military dog. Thunder was every bit as important a character as any of the friends or Aubrey and Eli. Especially since Aubrey is a complete and total neat freak who would never have a dog when Eli offers to be her bodyguard. Having someone who didn’t have any stray dust in her house suddenly have a shedding dog and her middle school crush living with her had me laughing out loud at times.

I loved that Eli, who had abandonment issues thanks to his horrible parents, finally feels like he can not only trust someone as more than a friend, but fall in love as well. With each day they spend more time together as Eli protects Aubrey from her crazy ex, I fell harder and harder for them as a couple.

Breezie Bennett has an amazing voice and continues to give her readers funny and romantic stories they will love. I loved seeing each of the friends find their happily ever after over the course of this series, and can’t wait to read Messing with the Ballplayer when it is released.
