Erin M Leaf is new to me and I have to say I would read another story from her in the future. This story was really good. It was engaging, I truly cared about the characters, and the writing flowed effortlessly.\r\n\r\nAlex Roman is a billionaire business man. He’s taken his grandfathers company and has grown it beyond anything he could have imagined. But with incredible wealth comes incredible problems. Alex has been getting death threats that have been escalating for some time. Alex’s solution is to ignore the threats and hopefully they will go away.\r\n\r\nJesse Emerson is Alex’s best friend from when they were kids. They’ve known each other most of their lives and know all there is to know about one another. Jesse is prior military and was in Special Forces. So, when he comes to stay with Alex and learns about the threats he takes it all very seriously and proclaims himself Alex’s personal bodyguard.\r\n\r\nWhat I really loved about Alex and Jesse was the effortless comfort they had with each other. You could also feel the attraction just under the surface. Alex is bisexual but John claims to be straight. You know right away Alex has significant feelings and its obvious Jesse feels the same but he’s always seen himself as a straight man. Once Alex throws caution to the wind and takes what he’s always wanted from Jesse, it’s so perfect and feels right. They are so incredibly hot together. For Jesse having never been with a man before he embraces gay sex 110%.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately while they’re trying to navigate their new found relationship there are forces still out to destroy Alex and the empire he’s built.\r\n\r\nNot to give too much away I liked the twist and the mystery. It kept me interested and I wanted to see where it was all going to end up.\r\n\r\nI’d be interested to read more about these two. I’d love to see them more settled.

However now Alex needs a bodyguard and now Jesse is back. Alex is going to push for Jesse to recognize his.\r\n\r\nThe connection between Jesse and Alex is intense. I loved that Jesse and Alex have a great friendship that goes beyond what most people have. They are close and care for each other. It’s also apparent that if a relationship does not work out between them they will still have a friendship. The sex scenes were blistering.\r\n\r\nI found this book well written with a unique plot. I loved the balance of suspense and romance. The main characters and the secondary characters were interesting.

It had the perfect tone to the story. It was told with seriousness, but had the perfect amount of humor in it. The characters were beautifully written and made me want to be right there with them through it all. The author has given me a story that will stand with me for all time. You can tell that when it was written that Erin put her heart into the story. It was so hot that I know I will have amazing dreams tonight. I love the way you can feel the heat from these two men. You can also feel the love that has built from the beginning between them and that it continues to heat up.\r\n\r\nAlex has been in love with Jesse for more years than he can remember and he knows that Jesse loves him right back. After a night of holding hands, Jesse ran and joined the military. Alex was left with all the things from his grandfather’s death to deal with. One would think Alex should be angry with Jesse, but he knew his friend was not ready. So after a long time Jesse is out of the military and has finally dumped his last girlfriend. Standing on the porch he knows he has to stay at Alex’s to recuperate from his disaster of a relationship. Alex has a secret though. He has been receiving death threats. Now he has the perfect bodyguard, a bodyguard that has to pretend to be his lover.\r\n\r\nJesse knew he had thought of Alex as more than a friend but never did anything about it. Until the night of the gala, where he kisses Alex in front of the photographer. Now he wonders why he never made a move before. It turned him on so fast, faster than anyone else had ever been able to. Now he just had to keep his man safe from the threats coming for him.\r\n\r\nI am definitely going to be checking out the rest of Erin’s books, well the ones with two very sexy men in them. This story gave me everything I could possibly want in a story. It gave me two very sexy men, dangerous situations, suspense, the first kiss between best friends, excitement, betrayal, and love awakening. It gave me that and so much more. I loved it and cannot wait to read more. I want to learn more about Jesse and Alex. Normally when I say a story left me wanting more it is because they were missing something at the end but this story didn’t do that. It had the perfect ending but I want more stories like this one.\r\n\r\nI would recommend reading this book. It will give you everything you could possibly want in a story. It will have you on the edge of your seat, gulping for breath, wanting to run your fingers over them both and have you praying for that type of love. A love built so strong that you will fall in love even more.","date":"3rd Nov 2014"},{"name":"Lucy","rating":"4","title":"Hearts On Fire","text":": I must have a subconscious (or really conscious!) desire to be a billionaire because I have been drawn to the Billionaire type stories! In this one, I liked the billionaire, Alex, just as much as I liked his ex-Special Forces best friend turned bodyguard, Jesse. They are both laid back, snarky with each other and seem like decent guys.\r\n\r\nJesse and Alex have been best friends since childhood. Jesse’s father was Alex’s grandfather’s butler and despite the status gap, the two were inseparable. With the death of father and grandfather, Jesse joined the military and Alex took over the helm of the family’s financial company. Jesse is the one person Alex trusts without question, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nJesse is home now, only to break up with his girlfriend. He, of course, crashes with Alex and finds out (through the awesome lady butler, Julia, that Alex has been receiving threatening messages. Oh no, that’s not happening! So, Jesse appoints himself Alex’s bodyguard until they figure it out.\r\n\r\nThis is when the not-acknowledged part of the relationship is drawn forth. As Alex introduces Jesse as his boyfriend, the “I’m not gay” Jesse is in turmoil. I appreciated that even though these guys have been partners in every way but sex, it took a bit for Jesse to realize it. Not so much a bi for you as much as an “I want Alex”.

They grew up together since Jesse's father had been butler for Alex' grandfather. The two older men died together in a car crash few years back, something that has been deemed an accident by the police, while the younger men could not believe it. That question is never answered in this story.\r\nShortly after his father died, Jesse joined the army, while Alex took over the Roman Empire as the company is called.\r\nJesse and Alex know each other better than the most. They had shared the most, even getting the similar ink. Still, there is a secret Alex has carried for a long time, a secret he more than anything wants to disclose for his best friend. He thinks the time is right.\r\nJesse is horrified that Alex has been threatened for a while, seemingly not taking this seriously enough. Alex has actually done all he could, but the police had not achieved anything in this case. Jesse decides that Alex needs a bodyguard and Alex is delighted to keep his best friend close. He aims to get him even closer.\r\nThe plot is believable. Until the end, that is. Because I cannot see how it was supposed to go without killing at least two people and all that for mere 50 grand? And even if the villain had thought he could get rid of his accomplices, the profit would be ridiculously low. The expenses the villain must have had to get to that point, were probably almost as high.","date":"21st Sep 2014"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"","show_quantity_input":0,"title":"The Billionaire's Bodyguard by Erin M.
