"JACE: BODYGUARDS FOR HIRE" by TA Grey is one of those books that I picked up to read just for me. It caught my eye, I bought it, I read it, I enjoyed. No review "required", but I wanted to put one out there because this was such a fun book!

I've been a fan of TA Grey's for a while; I ran across her during one of my hunts for shapeshifter novels & found that she has a couple series involving werewolves - the Kategan Alphas & the MacKellan Alphas (see below for more information).

"Jace" is NOT a paranormal book - it would fall into the contemporary/erotic romance category. Jace is, obviously, a bodyguard - actually he's the owner of the security company; Mara is a client with a psychotic ex-boyfriend who is hunting her down. However, they don't initially meet because she needs his services; she rear-ends his bright, shiny new big black truck. Really, I got sucked into this book from the first pages, because the character interactions were so HYSTERICAL that I just wanted to keep going! Why so funny? Well... Mara is a sex toy operator. Yep, you read that right. (And that's exactly the reaction that Mara enjoys LOL!) Now, I guess I never really thought about it, but obviously they DO have to have some sort of human testing on sex toys, right? It can't all be done mechanically... so how do you end up with a job like that? Living close to a very popular sex toy company, I'm half tempted to call & ask them... LOL! The funniest part of the book? When Mara has to test four products before she can take off a few days (to hide from crazy ex) and she keeps exiting the room each time looking more & more relaxed & in a greater state of disarray each time. Just too funny!

Sex is had by all - well, Mara & Jace - no toys needed. Squirm worthy scenes; may have to hunt down your human or (battery-powered) partner afterwards. It's a little under 200 pages so it's a do-able afternoon / evening read! ( )
