About this ebook

Stand-alone Crossroads Bodyguards romance, complete with HEA—and plenty of heat and heart along the way!

 

Billy “The Big Bad Wolf” Marshall thought he had everything he needed. He’d left the boxing ring with his body intact and he was content with his new job at Elite Security. But the chiseled-to-perfection heartthrob didn’t have who he wanted…

 

Maxine “Maxi” Rizzo had always prided herself on being independent and in complete control of her life…well, at least she thought she was. The gorgeous, blue-eyed publicist clearly wasn’t in control of her life when the stalking had started a few weeks ago…

 

With her life in serious danger, Maxi would have to let someone else take care of her for once; but she never knew that he would be her safety. Can she let go and finally give in to her heart’s desire? Can Billy convince her that all he wants…is her?

Ratings and reviews

When Maxi had a break in and her place was trashed, her boss asked her husband, owner of Elite Protection Security Group, to send a bodyguard to find out who was after Maxi. That bodyguard turned out to be Billy. Someone Maxi had known years ago because her father, a wrestling coach, had taken him under his wing, leading him to win 2 world championships in boxing. When their attraction never came to anything, Billy became a player and Maxi tried to forget about him. Now that they were together all the time, it was impossible for them to deny the attraction that still existed between them. This was a very hot story. Between the incredible attraction and Billy knowing how Maxi felt about being independent, he had his work cut out for him protecting her. He also didn't know that Maxi was keeping a secret about other things that had been happening. She was pretty smart so keeping that secret didn't make sense. She should have been able to figure out that it was important to share this information and that it might have some relevance to her stalker situation. This book is full of romance, suspense, some erotic love scenes, and drama. It draws you in from the beginning and keeps you there the whole way through to the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance, suspense and drama all wrapped into one book. * 3.5 stars*

This was another fantastic offering in the Crossroads Series by Melanie Shawn. Maxine Rizzo and Billy Marshall have known each other for years. They've both held torches for one another, but neither thought the other felt the same way about them. When Maxi is put into a dangerous situation and is being stalked, the former boxing champion turned security guard is assigned to her protection detail. While Maxi is trying to deal with the biggest client she's ever had at work, she's also trying to deal with the rapidly rising feelings she has for Billy. When another crisis arises for Maxi while dealing with the stalker situation, Billy stands by her side. Will both she and Billy realize that while they have been friends, they may have always been more to each other as well? The steamy scenes mixed in with the drama surrounding the stalker situation make for the perfect story. Kudos to Melanie Shawn once again for the great character development and the fast paced, engaging story. Looking forward to the next installment!

Mutual unconditional love was there all along, but needed to be discovered. Favors, freely given when you're younger, frequently become you're support later.
