I liked this age gap romance between Ransom , our uptight bodyguard and Lola, the Diva. ~ Paige, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
In his years at Ironclad, Ransom has built a reputation as a hardass bodyguard. He reels in the perverts, wrangles the mangled, and controls celebrities who are notoriously out of control.
So when a world-famous DJ starts slipping into risky habits, he’s hired to keep her on track during a multi-million-dollar tour. He figures he’ll just knock the diva down a few pegs and scare her straight. Problem is, Lola isn’t easily frightened, and “difficult” doesn’t begin to describe their contentious relationship. The only thing more annoying than their daily fights and power struggles is their intensifying emotional connection.
Ransom’s determined to save her…even if she doesn’t want to be saved.
This couple had a difficult and challenging start. They started as enemies and had a hard time moving to the friend zone. Despite their lack of friendship the couple had an underlying sexual chemistry that continued until they finally gave into each other.
Ransom was hired for more than Lola’s bodyguard. Part of the job was a mentor and a friend to this music diva He had some insight due to his past. Ransom wanted to keep this secret from Lola . Unfortunately, he couldn’t keep his past hidden. It followed and shaped his future. Oddly, it helped him become a better man.
Lola reminded me of Miley Cyrus. She was an out of control music star who needed some tough love. Ransom come into her life at the right time. She was immediately smitten with her bodyguard but he wouldn’t give in. She wasn’t going to take no for an answer.
The pair is able to put the age gap, career goals and destructive behavior aside to forge an everlasting bond. I liked the playfulness that this couple had both in and outside the bedroom.
While I enjoyed the book, I think it needed a bit more to their story. They spent a lot of time fighting each other then trying to work on being a couple.
Thanks for the review Paige
