A billionaire with some dirty secrets and in love, a bodyguard working hard and falling in love as well. Let the story continue… Saving the BillionairA billionaire with some dirty secrets and in love, a bodyguard working hard and falling in love as well. Let the story continue… Saving the Billionaire is set right after the first book, continuing the story from book one right away. It’s a bit crazy and over-the-top, but I love the no-nonsense Trainer and his boss Devon who’s changing a lot.
“Hope. Small word. Big meaning.”
Trainer is working hard to keep Devon safe and his secrets hidden, and that’s not the easiest thing to do. Luckily Trainer isn’t the only guy working for Devon, and he and his co-workers have their hands full. Adding a Devon in love to the mix changes the dynamics, and Trainer doesn’t know what to make of the situation. He likes the changing Devon, and he feels the object of the guy’s affection is a good influence (but Trainer can’t help feeling a bit sorry for the girl). During all what’s going on with Devon, Trainer is working on his relationship with his Rachel as well; they are an amazing couple, I love them together.
“I lay watching the two most important people in my world. Life is good.”
Like I already said, Saving the Billionaire is a bit over-the-top, but I love it. Devon lives in a crazy world where money doesn’t play a role, and Trainer’s spot-on thoughts about it are funny. He’s a normal guy who wants normal things; a good, decent life with the woman he loves and spending a lot of time with his daughter. What more does a man need?
“God, this woman. She knows … she knows me. She understands. My woman. My world. My everything.”
“Tonight she wanted to be different. Free. Eventually, she wanted to be a woman, whole.”
Fallon is a young woman who hasn’t seen much of the world.
“Tonight she wanted to be different. Free. Eventually, she wanted to be a woman, whole.”
Fallon is a young woman who hasn’t seen much of the world. After the death of her elder sister her parents kept their only remaining child close to them. Not in a bad way – they love Fallon very much – but she wasn’t able to do the things a normal 24-year-old would do like going out and dating. To give her a bit of freedom, Fallon’s parents have hired her a private security detail so that she can go out and explore the world to a certain degree. Fallon doesn’t have much experience with men, but she knows her security detail – Justice – is something else.
“I had a nice time.” “I’m glad.” “Even though no one would dance with me.” Smiling, her mother said, “Perhaps Mr. Wallington wouldn’t allow it?” “Maybe,” Fallon said. “He has this crazy death stare, way worse than dad’s, and it terrified everyone. I don’t think Justice knew that I noticed, but I did.”
Justice is a former MMA fighter who now works for a security firm. He was a pretty decent fighter, but he realized he wasn’t meant for the top ranks. And instead of holding on to an impossible dream, he faced reality and picked another career. But since he’s used to training and staying in shape, Justice is still close with his former fighter buddies and still trains with them. Guarding the daughter of a rich couple is business as usual for Justice, but his reaction to her is anything but normal.
“So neither one was safe?” Idly turning the beer, he surveyed her, then shook his head. “Looking like you do, not sure anyone in here is safe. At least, not to daddy’s standards.” Making air quotes with her fingers, Fallon mimicked his voice and said, “Daddy’s standards.”
Fallon and Justice come from very different worlds, but somehow they just click. Justice very quickly realizes there’s much more to the bit naive Fallon, and Fallon is curious for the man so different from the other men she knows. They start out in a professional way, but gradually the couple becomes friends and spend a lot of time together. Fallon is eager to explore the world, and Justice shows her how to live a normal life. Getting romantically involved is only the natural next step. Justice is a big strong guy, but with Fallon he’s sweet and gentle, just as she deserves. I love them together!
I have to admit that Hard Justice is actually my very first book by Lori Foster. I know she has written a lot of books already, but for some reason I never picked them up (but I will from now on). I really like this book; it’s well written and the characters are very likeable. Fallon is a sweetheart; despite her upbringing she’s a down-to-earth girl who wants to make it on her own and doesn’t care what other people think. I really like her, it would have been so easy for her to be very different. At the beginning of the book I wasn’t a big fan of Fallon’s father, I was glad he turned around and learned to listen to his daughter.
“What would you think about planning a wedding, oh, a year or so from now?” A rush of emotion filled his chest until Justice could barely catch his breath. Fallon glowed with confidence, rightfully so, and he loved it. He loved her. Now and forever.”
I’ve enjoyed reading Hard Justice, I give the story of Fallon and Justice 4 stars.
