BLURB: 

Between his time in the Marines and the years he’s spent working at Hamilton Security, there’s not much that takes Greg Wright by surprise anymore. That is until he gets assigned to guard a promising new candidate in the upcoming election; a man from Greg’s past and the one person he’d hoped to never see again.

Christopher Brooks has made a name for himself as an honest, hardworking, and fair man. As a candidate in the election for Governor of Illinois, his positive views on minority rights, especially those in the LGBTQ community have gained him considerable support as well as the attention of some of the more radical groups. When he begins receiving threats, warning him to drop out of the race, he concedes to the need for a bodyguard. That is, until he comes face to face with the man hired to protect him. The only person he’d ever given his heart to and the same man who shattered it.

Forced to spend nearly every minute together, the two men must find a way to get along and put their past hurts aside, but as the election heats up, so do things between the two men. Will they be able to put their past differences aside in order to keep Christopher safe and will they finally be able to find a peaceful resolution?

REVIEW:

This is another sweet book in the Hamilton’s Heroes series involving the guys who work at Hamilton Security. In this installment, we have two guys who get a second chance at love when they are somewhat thrown together again when Christopher’s parents hire Hamilton Security to provide a bodyguard for their son.

My biggest issue and generally a pet peeve of mine is when a book spends too much time alluding to something but not sharing the details of said something until much later in the story. Here, we quickly learn that Greg and Christopher share a past where neither have good memories of how they split. Both apparently blame the other and a giant miscommunication flag is hoisted blowing in the wind each time one of them brings it up, which is a lot. It takes away from the story for me, but again, that’s a pet peeve of mine. We do eventually (at around 60%) get the whole story from 20 years prior, but we have to see a lot of story of their past before we get there.

Regardless, once that happens, things pick up and they move on. While they are trying to figure their relationship (both past and present) out, they have the other issue of who is after Christopher as he makes his political run. It is the whole reason behind what brought these two back together, so while it is a negative thing, there is a positive spin to it as well.
I enjoyed seeing the other guys from the company as well, as they have some great camaraderie and most definitely some interesting stories left to explore. While I was not completely blown away by this installment, I enjoyed quite a bit about it and am looking forward to the next one
