I had a hard time with this one though. The story is good enough but Kate acted ridiculous early on in the story. Then twice two people that worked at the resort used Alec's real name instead of the one he was supposed to use at the resort and neither of those people reacted to it so it evidently wasn't suppose to be there. How does something as important as that to the story get missed by proof readers? 1. Kate talking to the owner of the resort Lacey Walker - "I was living in China", Kate added. "And Alec was working n a trawler in the Bering Sea". 2. Valaina - "I can sense when you gasp" Valaina replied. "I'm a breathwork expert. Alec, your pet name?". Those two things made me rate this book a 3. We're back in Barefoot Bay but with a whole new cast of characters that bring some pretty exciting suspense, mystery and adventure with them! In this book we have Alec Petrov, highly successful MMA fighter but after being recognized by a Russian mobster has decided to take a job as a bodyguard and live completely off the grid. He's protecting Kate Kingston by posing as her new husband. Kate, fresh out of a bad marriage and studying to take the bar exam, just wants a little peace and quiet while hiding away from the threats coming into her father's office. When she meets Alec she soon realizes peace and quiet are the last thing she is going to find. Loved this one! Far different from the other "Barefoot" stories but a great mix of that series with the "Guardians" and Bullet Catchers series. If you enjoy a great romantic suspense then this one is for you! I highly recommend it. Barefoot with a Bodyguard by Roxanne St. Claire is a 2015 publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. If you love the Barefoot Bay series or romantic suspense you don't want to miss this book! Kate and Alec are polar opposites who find themselves thrust together in a very uncomfortable situation. Kate needs protection from an unknown person making threats against her through her father, who is a judge. Alec is on the run from the Russian mafia, so being Kate's bodyguard provides him with a cover. So, the plan is to have them pretend to be a married couple on their honeymoon. But, sparks fly right from the beginning and not necessarily in a good way, but before long the idea of playing husband and wife for real becomes a huge temptation. This story has a very unique romantic suspense style to it- it's a crime drama, has a multi-layered plot with several huge bombshell twist along the way. It also has a playfulness about it, and the massage session was absolutely divine! I thought there were some interesting themes explored in this book. One, is that sometimes, our backgrounds with men, including our own fathers, can play a key role in who we marry and how much power or control we permit them to have over us. Kate is not only stepping out from behind the shadow of her controlling ex-husband, but also standing up to her manipulative father. Alec's life has been sad and dangerous and it looks as though he may never live a normal life. He is scarred and carries deep, heavy burdens and despite his rough exterior, I just wanted to hug him. The secondary characters were simply a delight. Nico and Poppy lightened the tone of the book and were an excellent addition to the story. I enjoyed this fast paced, action packed, sensual and romantic story and highly recommend it to those who enjoy romantic suspense and contemporary romance. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

About to take the bar exam after ending a five-year marriage that derailed her career plans and her life, Kate Kingston craves independence and a vacation. Somewhere warm with sea breezes, sunshine, sand, and none of the scary threats against her that have been showing up in her dad's office. Barefoot Bay is the perfect place for some serenity while she studies and puts her life back together. But when she meets the brooding wall of muscle her father hired to protect her, Kate feels her hard-won independence slipping away as fast as her resolve to avoid men who wield power over her. Mixed martial arts trainer Alec Petrov has been on the run for a long time. Guarding a feisty attorney-to-be while pretending to be her husband is not a bad way to live off the grid, hidden from the Russian mobster who is hunting Alec with deadly intent. But Kate brings out a tender side Alec doesn't understand or believe he deserves, and he soon realizes that keeping them both safe is only half the challenge. Keeping his hands off her and his attraction under control will be every bit as difficult in the close quarters of an exclusive resort. When their make-believe honeymoon in paradise turns sensual, complicated, and dangerous, Alec and Kate realize it's not just their lives that are in jeopardy, it's their hearts. And they'll have to fight to the end to save each other...and their love. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
