This book has it all; drama, suspense, steamy sex, a hot military hero and the man who loves him. ~ Paige Turner, Guilty Pleasures

Just when the pieces begin to add up, danger blows them all apart…

MA1 Iskander Ayhan’s orders are simple: stay with Admiral Dalton’s son as a plainclothes bodyguard while the kid attends university classes. So typical—a high-ranking officer abusing Navy resources for unnecessary security.

It isn’t long before Iskander realizes there’s more to his assignment than protecting the kid from benign harassment by homophobic classmates. Behind those piercings, eyeliner, and bad attitude, Troy Dalton is scared. Truly, deeply, scared.

Troy is indeed hiding something. Iskander is the only one who’s ever taken his fears seriously, which gives him hope. Yet Troy isn’t sure one lone, armed-to-the-teeth bodyguard is enough to keep him safe, especially since he can’t risk telling Iskander the truth.

As Iskander slowly gains Troy’s trust, the walls start coming down. And before they know it, the warmth between them explodes into real heat. Until suddenly Iskander realizes he’s a magnet for danger, not a shield.

Now he doesn’t know how to keep Troy safe—stay close, or get as far away from him as possible.

Warning: Contains a younger man with a thing for older men, and an older man who doesn’t usually have quite so much trouble resisting younger men. Author is not responsible for any bad academic habits that might result from watching these two “study” for their exams.

I stumbled upon the Walls of Troy while trolling for something read. This was a very pleasant atruegemawardsurprise.
I thought the author did a good job drawing the reader into the book. The plot was so well written and believable. You could see story happening in life.

Iskander is our hero in the book. He’s older and supposed to be wiser but when it comes to Troy, all sensibility gets tossed out the window. I love the dynamic between the two. The relationship that they forged as friends, helped transition themselves into lovers.

I also thought it held the perfect amount of drama and suspense without getting cliche. Both Iskander and Troy were willing to talk to each other about the situation happening around them. They didn’t have to make up drama to create the situation. They also weren’t afraid to ask for help from the people around them. I loved that they sought out others to help them. They worked as a team and it showed in their relationship.
