Synopsis

Martial arts expert Lewis is the kind of bodyguard who slips under most people’s radar. Quiet, reserved, but constantly on alert, he’ll do his job, keep his charges safe, then relax by reading Shakespeare in his spare time.

When he’s given a case involving a spoiled celebrity singer, Lewis isn’t all that impressed. The job is nothing but babysitting a pretty boy, and he’s used to diplomatic postings with depth and challenge. What could he possibly have in common with the man he’s being forced to look after?

Alex became the envy of many when he and his fellow bandmates won second place in a huge TV talent show. He has more money than he knows what to do with, no life goals, an ex-boyfriend selling a sex tape and now, someone who wants him dead, or at the very least maimed.

Can Lewis keep Alex safe, even when things usually in his control go to hell? Is running to a remote Scottish island the only way for them to stay alive?

Another winner for the Bodyguards Inc. series.

I’m a big fan of the Bodyguards, Inc. series. Each book is a standalone but characters from other books make appearances from time to time. Kissing Alex was an enjoyable, sexy read.

Lewis is hired to protect Alex – a singer in a “boy band.” The mob is after Alex because they think he’s more than a friend to Roman who’s going to give the authorities evidence against his mob boss father.

Lewis likes being a bodyguard but he’s also the Laird of Stoirmeil Island where he spends one month a year reconnecting with his roots and family. The money he makes as a bodyguard helps him pay for things that the island needs. When his boss asks him to protect Alex and take him to his island, he says absolutely no – until he’s offered a huge sum of money. He takes the job because Stoirmeil needs so much upkeep and the money will help with several projects that need done. The fact that Lewis likes the look of Alex’s lips is just a distracting bonus.

This book kept me in suspense; it also made me smile, swoon and cry. In other words, it was great – my favorite kind of book. Lewis was so reluctant to get involved and Alex just wanted to be loved. Their story had a very satisfying ending. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, Roman’s Heart.
