BLURB:

Jared: Challenging the status quo in Hollywood doesn’t make me the most popular director in showbiz lately. Suing a former studio exec for almost ruining my life twelve years ago, even less so. But I’ve worked hard to get where I am, I’m not staying silent anymore. While filming my latest movie in Thailand, I get word that my legal case is moved up and in addition, there’s another threat to my life. But I’m not backing down. And I have all the support I need from the two men who’ve occupied all my thoughts lately – my sarcastic lawyer, Aiden Barstock, and my faithful bodyguard, Alex Sheffield.

Did I mention that I’m falling for both men? Yeah, my life is complicated. But I know in my heart that Aiden and Alex are meant to be mine. Now all I have to do is convince them that three is not a crowd, it’s the perfect number.

Aiden: My work as a barrister is my sole passion. And my personal life? I keep it casual. I don’t believe in love. I thought I was in love once, but it turned out I was a fool. Fool me once and never again.

Until a work trip to Thailand to prep my client, Jared Elwood, changes everything. Suddenly I’m alone with Jared, and his bodyguard, Alex Sheffield. Two men who become so much more than friends when circumstances bring us together. They see beyond my snark to the vulnerabilities I keep hidden. And now I risk being a fool again. Not over one man, but two.

Alex: I was trained by the British military for a life of service but after the death of my closest mate, I entered private protection. Being Jared Elwood’s bodyguard is no easy matter. Crazed fans, angry stalkers – you name it, Jared attracts it. He brings out all my protective instincts and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him, including laying down my own life. But Jared’s latest film is interrupted by a threat that’s far too real and likely connected to the lawsuit he’s filed. Now his brash barrister, Aiden Barstock, is along for the ride, and suddenly things get intense. It’s not just Jared I would die to protect, it’s Aiden too.

One endeavor binds all three of us together. For now, or forever?

Endeavor is a friends to lovers, boss-employee, MMM romance filled with snarky banter, wild shenanigans, and an HEA to make even the most cynical heart swoon. This is Book Four of the Voyagers’ series: one superyacht, four love stories that span the globe.

REVIEW:

The startup was already amazingly done. Smoothly we’re drawn into the story.

Jared has strong feelings for Alex, his bodyguard, but he can’t find a way in. The man has thick walls.
Alex feels more for Jared but will never act for it. As his bodyguard, he has to keep focus on his work.
There’s a threatening stalker.

On a film job in Thailand, they will stay on board at ‘Now, Voyager’, this way they can stay away from people, stalkers, and nosy eyes.
Jared’s lawyer Aiden, who’s handling Jared’s case against his abuser, will join them on board.

Now, you have to know, ‘Now, Voyager‘ the luxurious super yacht, has a love spell on it. It’s a joke, but still. Look at the previous stories of this series and what happened with all the love.

My heart, the three of them were magnificent together. It’s a slow burn but good god when they finally gave in, dang they were hot and had so much love to give.

“Three was the perfect number.” Only, all three had their portions of hurt to overcome. To say they dived into a relationship was a little too short.

I’m in awe, such a genius plot!
The story was super intense, very emotional, exciting, anxious, sweet, hot, and all excellently written.
