Review: Adrian's Bodyguard

Adrian's Bodyguard by Shelby Rhodes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Adrian is King. He’s also a little quirky, a little odd and sometimes childlike. At least that is how the world at large sees him. Being king is a good thing, but it does come with challenges. Mostly in the form of assassins and their attempts to kill Adrian. After the last attempt he’s giving a body guard. Except he doesn’t want a body guard.

Xavier gets the assignment of guarding the king. He expects to be dealing with an adult. He gets the quirky Adrian instead. But can he see beyond the surface of what Adrian shows the world? And if he does, can he keep from wanting the real Adrian? Getting involved wasn’t in the plans for either of them. He needs to keep things professional and ignore Adrian and his advances. Only if he can stay strong enough.

This story was a joy to read. Adrian and Xavier have a real person feel to them. And it was fun to watch them work their way past lust and into love. You can feel the chemistry between them. The push and pull as they work their way to love. This was a one sitting read for me. I got sucked into their world and didn’t want to leave till the last page. Well written, with a great storyline. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
