Rating: ★★★ 1/2
Zander Shaw has a reputation of falling too easily in love. But with his new job as a bodyguard to a world famous pop-star and his resolve firmly in place, he takes the bet. There’s no way he’ll fall for her. NO SIR!
Aloha Carmichael has never met a man like Zander. He is too resolved, too candid and too hot. She’s never been one for love but a girl just might be tempted to hit on a 6’4″ muscled beast of a man. It doesn’t help that Z makes her feel all tingly and jelly just from one look.
Two people who are DEFINITELY not looking for love but find it anyway. But can they keep it and make it last?
So this book started out great and I was having a ball reading it. Honestly, Zander and Keane’s friendship bowled me over. These dudes don’t even know what toxic masculinity means and hell I love that so hard. They are genuinely soulmates and I just want a book about their love.
Zander is this amazingly sweet and ott man who loves easily and epically. His personality is what I love about him. He is so open and easy to like it’s insane that this man is not real. He does come off as childish and naive at times but at the end all of it was pretty endearing.
Aloha wasn’t easy to like and when I got there she did something I didn’t approve of. I don’t know how else to put it but I just tolerated her. I couldn’t connect to her and her motivations just seemed a bit off. But I really liked her standing up for her beliefs and standing firm. It couldn’t have been easy but damn she made it look like it.
As a first time Lauren Rowe reader, I am definitely intrigued by her books and I need to read more about these Morgan brothers because they all seem like a hoot.
3.5 Stars!

Synopsis:
A bodyguard, a beauty, and a bet.
“I’m hiring you to do more than guard her, Zander,” my new boss explained. “You’re gonna be her rock. Her human Valium. Her trusted friend. And she’s gonna be your mission from God.”
“So I’m her babysitter?”
“Her babysitter, her bodyguard, her f*cking service doggie. Whatever she needs or wants, that’s what you’ll be. Anything except her booty call.” The vein in my new boss’s neck bulged. “Touch her and I’ll do more than fire your ass, Zander. I’ll rip off your balls.”
My buddies laughed when I told them about my ridiculous new job. They said, “Three months on a tour with a world famous beauty, glued to her hip, catering to her every whim? A hundred bucks says you’re gonna break down and bang her within the first month.”
But I said nope. No way. Never. “I’m a professional,” I said. “Plus, she’s not even my type. And I’m just getting over a broken heart. It’s never gonna happen.”
So I put my money where my mouth was, figuring I’d laugh all the way to the bank. I never thought I’d actually fall in love with the girl.Or that she’d become my reason for breathing.
The job, the bet, the girl. It was nothing but fun and games . . . until it became dead serious.
