The Billionaire Bodyguard (DC Billionaires Book 1) av Eliza Ellis
I really enjoyed this Clean Billionaire Romance. I received this for free and voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 4.7* rating. There was a lot of action and suspense in this. Both the hero and the heroine have to deal with a lot of grief and death. Lots of little twists and turns to keep you turning the pages.

NancyLuebke | 1 annan recension | Jan 23, 2019 | Fredericka Jones is about to break ground on the shelter for single mothers and their children that she promised her own mother, before her death, she would open. Then Charles Larenski swoops in, derailing her permits with shady methods and a plan to build a big, luxury hotel.
Freddie and Charles went to high school together. He was a top jock at their privileged private school. Freddie was a hardworking, nerdy student determined to justify every penny her hardworking mother was spending on sending her there to give Freddie a better start in life than her mother had.
Charles made sure the whole school called her Freaky Freddie.
But Freddie has university degrees, her own charitable foundation, and drop-dead gorgeous looks, now. When she shows up in his office hoping that she can make him understand that the shelter is important, he's not going to change his mind, but does think it's worth seducing her to try to change hers.
Freddie's good friend and VP of her foundation thinks that, on the contrary, Freddie should seduce Charles to change his mind.
Charles's good friend, Roger, whose family is deep in the Irish mafia, thinks Charles is being too ethical about the whole thing. Charles, of course, has always been open and above-board in his business dealings, except for the awkward fact that he continues to employ Roger despite knowing that he steers some of the contracts to his mafia buddies.
I haven't said enough about Max, but really, he's not much better than Charles, even if his creep details are different.
Basically, Freddie is the only decent person in the book. By the time Charles, Roger, and Max get their redemptions, I didn't care. This is quite decently written, and some will enjoy it, but I found it be be great disappointment after The Billionaire Bodyguard. Seriously, go read that instead.You can find it on Amazon.

LisCarey | Dec 14, 2018 | Zuri Msongo is a leader of pro-democracy revolutionaries in the fictional African nation of Bendola. The head of their movement is her father, and she's frustrated that he seems to think her safety is just as important as his. He's the one who will hopefully be the first freely elected President of Bendola in twenty years, after all. She's David (Bendolan mother, American father), persuades her father to hire his old US Army buddy, Daemon Knight, to be her bodyguard. Especially when Knight recommends postponing the meeting they've scheduled with representatives from western governments, seeking support for the rebels.
The meeting goes ahead, and of course Knight was right about the security leak. The meeting takes place, successfully, but then the Msongos and their top people are attacked while attempting to leave. Daemon Knight gets her out, but her father is killed.
From this point on, it's a battle of wills, and a battle of cool judgment vs. passionate dedication and patriotism.
It's a little complicated by the fact that Daemon Knight is not your average high-level bodyguard or security expert. He's the head of Knight's Shield Security, and heir to the Knight Industries conglomerate.
I'm not sure it's correct to call a story set in Africa "Ruritanian," but that's the basic idea. Bendola is a fictional country nestled into a spot on the continent that's almost plausible, without having to worry about the details of the histories of the real countries in that area. Initially, Zuri seemed to be implausibly willful and impulsive for a woman in her situation, but as the story progressed, the reality of the situation and the demands on her as the new head of the movement seemed to focus that drive more. Knight, meanwhile, has more mundane, but still serious, family problems of his own, with his estranged father pressuring him to take over as CEO of Knight Industries right now, a demand that seems unlikely coming from a man who has always been a workaholic and show no signs of slowing down.
Of course Zuri and Daemon are fighting their attraction to each other, and despite having gotten Zuri out successfully after the attack that killed her father, Zuri isn't wrong about needing to go back.
They're likable characters, and if the story isn't altogether plausible, it's no less so than any Ruritarian tale, a genre I've always enjoyed.
Recommended for a fun read.
