A fiery, passionate MM forbidden romance novel from #1 New York Times Bestselling author Lauren Blakely… Ever hear the story about the bodyguard who falls for the rock star? Yeah, it never ends well. Each day I remind myself that it's my job to protect Stone. And nowhere in the job description does it say I should lust after the charismatic, charming man. Especially since we're opposites. But every night I spend with him the dangerous, off-limits attraction grows more intense. Until one night in a limo when we combust. One time only will have to be enough. One scorching, forbidden night. Because the mistakes from the past are chasing me. And if I give in again, I'll lose everything. But sometimes you grab hold of the desire. And other times, the desire takes hold of you. No matter the cost.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book. It had a lot of build up and seemed to rely heavily on the narrator pair-up. That being said, I really enjoyed it. It was a tad on the long side, but I enjoyed the story and the characters, who we first got to meet in One Night Only, and the main characters from that book pop up in here too as side characters. Stone and Jackson are so good together. The attraction is palpable between them. They have sweet, sexy, and emotional moments that will keep you glued to the story.
I got frustrated with Jackson a little. His issues about his job seemed to be over the top. But maybe that's because I just loved Jackson and Stone together and didn't want to see them in conflict? The resolution to the conflict was fantastic though and got all the swoon meters.
I did feel that there was a lot of sex in this story and it didn't always feel necessary to move the story along, it felt that it was there for the narration more than the story. Don't get me wrong, it was written well, it just felt unnecessary.
Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan are always great when they pair up and this book is no different. They are a joy to listen to and bring all the emotion, humour, and sexy. Jacob singing was a real treat. The production was great with no issues of note.
I think Lauren's second M/M is better than the first and I'm sure she'll continue to grow in strength in this genre.
