Blurb: Cade “Hercules” Thornton is an ex-Marine and soldier of fortune; now he’s the owner of Hercules Security, which provides the best bodyguards in the business. After his leg was crushed and reconstructed, Cade doesn’t do fieldwork anymore – until a challenge is issued to him by wealthy Kate Morgan, who wants her “bookish” grandson protected from a stalker. She insists on having the very best bodyguard available, and that is Cade himself.

But there is nothing laid back or bookish about Dr. Jude Morgan. Having lived under the thumb of his grandmother his entire life, Jude is insistent that he doesn’t need a babysitter. Sparks fly when Cade tries to insinuate himself into Jude’s life, and Cade knocks Jude on his ass – literally.

Yet the danger to Jude is real, and Cade is the only thing standing between him and an increasingly more terrifying stalker. Cade’s protective feelings for his client become something more, while Jude begins to realize that his brawny, neo-Viking protector is a man unlike anyone he’s ever known. Yet as Cade and Jude grow closer, so does the danger.

Cade will stop at nothing to protect Jude, but Jude’s stalker is determined to get his man – even if he has to kill Cade Thornton to do it.

Review: I am amazed by the gifts that many people have to tell you a story. Ari is one of those gifted authors. She gives you an amazing story with incredible characters that you can believe in. This story was amazing. I love the fact that a man gave everything to his country and was still willing to give his life to protect someone he loves. Although when he took the job, it sure wasn’t because of love. Cade was an ex-marine and mercenary till he saved a fellow marine from getting hit by a car, but got himself injured. His leg had been crushed and reconstructed so now he he’s the owner of Hercules Security, which provides the best bodyguards in the business.

Cade doesn’t do fieldwork anymore – until a challenge is issued to him by wealthy Kate Morgan, who wants her “bookish” grandson protected from a stalker. She insists on having the very best bodyguard available, and that is Cade himself. He was expecting this nerdy looking geek but what he got took his breath away. Although his first contact with Jude did not go so well. He had punched the man in the face when Jude made the mistake of calling him a coward. Once Jude apologized, he realized that everything that was happening was in fact dangerous. Jude’s ex-boyfriend was a psycho and dangerous, Jude was a pain in the ass, and Cade was falling for him.

Jude had always felt that everyone in his life was trying to control him and to suffocate him. He wanted to do everything on his own, but when he made the mistake of calling Cade a coward, was when he felt like he was at the lowest point in life. He was terrified of what was happening, terrified of the man standing in front of him would be hurt because of him. He knew that Cade would give his life to protect him and that might just be the worst feeling ever. However what he felt for Cade that was growing stronger each day made him jump for joy and cheer. Now all they had to do was get past the dangers and past the manipulating grandmother. She proves to be even more manipulative than once expected.

This is one amazing book and I definitely can’t wait to get my hands on the next one in this series. It should prove to be one heck of a great fine for my library. If you love hot and sexy men, tender moments, spicy conflict, military men, mercenaries, bodyguards and a bit of danger than this is a book that you will want to read. It caught my attention from the first sentence and kept it all the way to the end. This book will give you what you are looking for I can guarantee it. You will love it just like I do.
