“What I feel for you? It’s not healthy. It’s an obsession.”
Xavier Saint’s by-the-book rules are thrown out the window when he finds himself crossing lines to keep his beautiful client in line. His business is protecting clients, often from themselves, and as co-founder of one of the top private security firms in the country, he’s seen it all. But when he’s contracted to protect Waverly Sinner, the stunning and rebellious actress, he finds that some rules are made to be broken. Waverly Sinner is a second-generation Hollywood goddess living in the gilded cage of expectations. She’s reluctantly playing her role while counting down the days to her escape from the life she never chose. But meeting sexy, rule-bound Xavier Saint slams the door shut on her own private prison. She doesn’t trust him and will do anything to shake him loose. Sparks fly and ignite when Waverly and Xavier’s agendas clash. But when a dangerous stalker threatens her life, can Waverly trust Xavier to stand between her and a potential killer? Or will their growing feelings for each other endanger them both?
Wow, I’m not sure where to start. My heart is breaking for Waverly and Xavier. This was such a heartfelt story and it’s not even close to being over. I don’t want to give anything away, but be ready to feel their pain. The writing was enticing, the characters were developed in depth and the plot was engaging. There really isn’t much out there that Score can write that I will not enjoy. I am just glad I do not have to wait to jump in to see what actually happens next!
The gave this novel a four star rating. The ending is kind of abrupt, and while not exactly a nail biting cliff hanger, there is not closure for our couple. The author wrote a note at the end of the story apologizing for the ending, but she knew the story was entirely too long to fit in one book. So she split it in two. So if you are looking for a happy ever after all wrapped up by the end, then move on. This one requires you to read the next book to see how much groveling is going to happen to get to a happy ending.
