Suzanne Sullivan doesn’t need a bodyguard. After all, she’s one of the most successful digital security specialists in the world―so she can most certainly take care of herself despite the problems she’s been running into lately. Unfortunately, her three brothers don’t agree. So when Mr. Way-Too-Handsome shows up bound and determined to protect her, whether she wants him there or not, sparks definitely start to fly. Because she has absolutely no intention of falling for the bodyguard she never wanted in the first place…
Roman Huson has vowed to do whatever it takes to protect Suzanne Sullivan from harm. And her brothers would kill him for so much as looking at her the wrong way. The only problem is that he’s never been hired to work for anyone so beautiful, or brilliant, before. Between trying to keep up with her―and working like hell to keep from kissing her breathless―he’s up against the most difficult challenge of his life. Especially when it turns out that the passion, and connection, between them is hotter than anything he’s ever known…

I can see why this series is so popular. Book 2 pulls you further into the New York Sullivan family with Suzanne Sullivan as the smart one, the indestructible one, the one who always keeps everything together for the family. She is well-admired by the employees in her company as they are loyal to her.
Just because she’s having issues with a few bad phone calls, and someone wrecking havoc with her security systems, she doesn’t need help. She works herself ragged and burns the candle on both ends. She’s a powerhouse and an extremely lovable character.
Her brothers love her, always watching out for her, all three of them. Alec is the worst. He’s an interesting character and totally over the top in his protection of Suzanne — even hiring a bodyguard for her without her approval. But Suzanne at 31, doesn’t let her brothers control her life. She rejects him, this handsome man she’s terribly attracted to, but… Roman Huson gets under her skin. She has been under his from the moment he meets her.
Expect fireworks, hot bed scenes and a love which can’t be denied. You, yourself, will find yourself emotionally involved as Suzanne’s well thought out life starts to unravel. The author keeps the story moving at a fast clip with plenty of surprises along the way. But ultimately? It is family and friends which rule the day!
Once again, the narrator, Eva Kaminsky, does a superb job with showing by her voice the emotions and personalities of the characters. Her high energy level suits the series and the emotions, even those below the skin.
