SHE NEEDS A LOVER AND A FIGHTER
Blonde. Beautiful. Talented. Alexa Fairfax is practically Hollywood royalty. But growing up in a family of legendary movie stars also puts her in the spotlight for danger. And after she discovers a plot more deadly than any movie script, Alexa desperately needs a bodyguard. A man like Zack De Luca. A true friend with a good heart, a protective nature-and the hard, chiseled muscles to back it up.
Zack has always been wildly attracted to Alexa. But since he's training day and night to be an MMA fighter, he's afraid his gorgeous friend will only distract him from his goal. Indescribably sweet and irresistibly sexy, Alexa needs Zack to pretend to be her boyfriend after her life is threatened. Now this fighter-in-training will have to fight his own intense feelings-to keep their little charade from turning into a major disaster . . .

My Thoughts:
Alexa
Fairfax has given up trying to impress her mother. But her mother is a pussycat compared to her
father. Zach De Luca has the same circle
of friends as Alexa. He also has the
expertise that she is in need of. Can a
man who is all about protecting people find happiness with someone that is
considered part of tinseltown royalty?
This
author created the right combination that had me glued to my ereader. I just had to remember to blink. I’m all about the romance but this author gives
me plenty of passion, suspense, and action.
Can you imagine thinking you know your family only to learn it’s all a
lie? Ms. Wyatt has created a group of
men that you would want to have around should you get into trouble. At times Alexa seems vulnerable and timid but
by creating Zach and his friends, she is willing to fight for her survival. And also willing to take a chance on a
relationship.
This
was the first book in the Bodyguard
series that I have read. At no time
did I feel that I needed to read the first two books in order to understand
anything that was going on here. But
with how the author had me transfixed with Alexa and Zach’s story, I feel the
need to know more about their friends.
One thing that caught my attention was how both Alexa and Zach seemed to
have a light bulb moment but found it interesting the moment that light bulb
went on. The ending left me happy and
with a smile on my face. It certainly
gives hope to those that feel opposites attract.
Excerpt:
She hesitated a second before nodding. Without a word he tucked her under his arm, shielding her from the view of the other party guests. He led her down a hallway off the foyer and into the garage, where a side door led into the quiet, dark backyard. The noise from the party filtered out through the open windows, mingling with the soft gurgle of water from the pool. A cool spring breeze rustled the palm fronds and teased Alexa’s shoulder-length hair around her jaw. She brushed it aside as he led her to a stone bench off to the right, their backs to the house.
For several moments they just sat, Alexa sniffling and staring blankly at the still water of the pool. Zack stroked a hand up and down her back, hoping to comfort her in some way. He’d spent the past year as a bodyguard honing his protective instincts, and they now came to life, alarm bells ringing through his skull. Something was very, very wrong.
When she finally spoke, she surprised him with her question. “Who’s the party for? Sierra was cagey about it on the phone earlier.”
Zack glanced back at the house. “Oh. Uh, for Taylor and Colt. They got married in Vegas last weekend.”
Alexa’s head whipped around. “What? But didn’t they just get together?”
“Yeah.”
“They’re crazy.” She shook her head, but he could hear the smile in her voice.
“That’s what I said.”
Gently, she laid a hand on his arm, the tips of her fingers warm against his skin. “Are you okay?”
Fuck, she was so sweet. He was supposed to be comforting her and finding out why she’d suddenly burst into tears, and she was worried about him because his ex-girlfriend had eloped.
He laid a hand over hers, allowing himself the luxury of tracing his thumb over her delicate knuckles. “I’m fine. Just surprised, like everyone, I think.
