The Superstar
Patricia Logan
Storm Ellison is the sexiest man on two legs. The gorgeous young star of “Trapped on an Island”, the hottest reality show on television, is instantly recognizable the moment he leaves his palatial mansion. Paparazzi follow him everywhere, leaving him no peace or privacy, selling his pictures to the tabloids, and cementing his reputation in the press as a slutty gay playboy. As Storm prepares to sign his first major movie deal, his manager decides he needs protection. What he doesn’t expect, is to be attracted to the cold bastard who’s now running his life.
Balthazar Grant, freelance bodyguard, is a huge, handsome, rough and ready former Marine, trained by the best, and willing to step between Storm and anyone stupid enough to come at him. Always stoic and serious, Taz lends a deadly presence to Storm’s entourage whenever he ventures out in public. Storm doesn’t want a bodyguard, much less one who won’t let him live his fast and loose lifestyle with impunity and he’s certainly not one to be dictated to by an overconfident Marine who has opinions about everything including who he should hook-up with.
When a deadly threat hits Storm’s world, he’s suddenly living his own reality show, only this one has an outcome which doesn’t involve being voted off an island. Will Storm wake up before it’s too late and will Taz be able to fight his attraction to the handsome young superstar while trying to convince him he’s in very real danger? The pair will soon learn that reality is stranger than fiction.
Excerpt
Jules grinned again. “You like Storm, Taz. You LIKE like him!” she raised her voice and Taz looked around to see who else could have overheard her.
“I like him fine, Jules; I work for the guy,” he replied, intentionally misunderstanding her.
“No, Taz, you are ‘in like’ with Storm,” she reiterated. She reached up and took hold of his sunglasses, dragging them off his face. “Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t like Storm like that, big guy. Whoa, those are some dreamy eyes,” she sighed.
Taz felt embarrassed and exposed without his shades and hated the fact that she could see the very real truth in his eyes when all he wanted to do was deny it. He averted his gaze, staring out onto the dance floor only to regret it immediately when he noted Storm’s arms wrapped around the twink, his lips being plied by the smaller man’s as their lower bodies ground against each other to the beat of the music. The moment he saw them, he frowned.
“See? That’s what I’m talkin’ about, Taz. You can’t stand the way that other man touches Storm. You want him for yourself,” she said emphatically.

Review: This is my first book by Patricia Logan. It won’t be my last.
Taz is an ex-marine now working freelance as a bodyguard. He usually doesn’t do long-term gigs just short term but his friend called and offered him a chance that was hard to pass up guarding Storm Ellison. Storm is the new best thing and getting very famous. He has a bad rap in the tabloids as spoiled, selfish, playboy on drugs and alcohol. Taz soon finds that is as far from the truth as can be.
This story reminded me a lot of the hit movie the Body Guard and I found it was a bit predictable. But having said that, that’s a good thing to me. I have no problems with predictable if the characters ae interesting and the story good. This is both. The story is a beautiful romance that builds gradually and is so sexy. I love how Taz is a bear of a man but so caring and has such a good heart. There is some mystery and suspense as well as the smoking hot sex and beautiful romance. I loved the slow burn between these two men. When that flame ignited, man was it smoking hot! I can’t wait to see what is next in this series.
If you like sexy movie stars, hot bodyguards, slow building romance, interracial romance, a great story with a satisfying ending and some sizzling hot man-sex this is for you.
Odd, I’ve been FB friends with Patricia for what seems like ages, but I’ve never actually read any of the books. This will definitely be changing status in the very near future.
