Troy Castelli acts like it’s my fault that we’re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didn’t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise. And I sure as heck didn’t request that my boss send Troy and his uber elite bodyguard skills to accompany me out of town—although I’m not mad about it.
A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isn’t exactly a burden.
But it is a giant test of my willpower.
Troy’s alpha protector tendencies drive me wild. His arrogant smirk gets under my skin. But it’s his not-so-innocent touches, heated looks and touch-her-and-die vibes that are the final strike that ignite our explosive chemistry.
The longer we’re together, the more his broody exterior slips, and I get a glimpse of the real man beneath the sculpted muscles. I’m determined not only to unearth his mysterious past but also to make him realize what we have is more than just a fling in paradise.
That is, unless my stalker gets me first.
I was so looking forward to Troy’s story and it did not disappoint. There’s suspense and snarky banter but still plenty of the humor and heat we can always count on from Adriana Locke. These characters are absolutely perfect together and I was hooked from the first page. In fact, they may be my favorite couple from the author and Troy has definitely knocked Moss Carmichael out of the top book boyfriend spot, which I didn’t think was even possible.
Dahlia has been working with Troy for a couple of years now and they’re both careful to ignore the attraction simmering under the surface. Their dynamic is fun and the tension between them is unmistakable, although neither one will acknowledge it. They’re careful to keep a respectable distance and their relationship completely professional in every way, until someone starts threatening Dahlia and Troy gets protective. They’re at Lincoln’s beach house in an exclusive gated community, so all in all, it’s not the worst. Yes, some creep is threatening her and breaking into her house to move her magnets around, but it got her a paid vacation alone with Troy.
Their story is sweet and romantic, but peppered with twists and turns to keep you guessing as the threat looms. There’s even some action and yes, Troy completely kicks ass, but of course you already knew that. I loved everything about it so I’m looking forward to more Landry Security. I’d like to thank the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
