Publisher's summary

I’m here to protect his body, not claim it.

As a bodyguard there is one line I won’t cross: Never sleep with a client. Not even when the client is the first man I ever had a secret crush on. I’ll keep him safe during the media storm that surrounds his coming out. We’ll be together every minute. Constantly. But he’ll never be mine. I will not sleep with a client. And I can’t come out. Silver has always made me want things I can’t have. This time I don’t know how I’m going to resist.

They say rock stars don’t follow the rules. They lie. I’m ready to change everything. But I may have picked a fight I can’t win. Not alone. Enter Bram. The second the bodyguard shows up, I know he can keep me safe from my evil ex-manager. Is it possible he could be more? He’s as hot as sin, and I want him in my bed. Even though starting something with Bram would cross every line. But every rock star knows that rules are made to be broken.

Evil managers, hot bodyguards, and rock and roll tie together His Dark Savior, a bodyguard/rock star romance!

A steamy forbidden romance!

This was an amazing start to a new series

I liked Silver and Vram's chemistry.
The Forbidden tabboo romance was interesting and I liked how it played out.

I absolutely loved the narration. It was pretty smooth, engaging and coherent. Which is a plus for me.

In definitely looking forward to listening to the rest of this series.

This isn't as predictable as I thought it would be

I found this story so touching! The poor guy from the wrong side of the tracks has a rare occasion to encounter the beautiful rich boy he has yearned for. The beautiful rich boy grows to be a talented singer who's in the closet and the poor guy has become a bodyguard after his time in the military. Working for Titan Security Agency, Abraham (Bram) Jameson is charged with returning to his hometown to protect his crush from years ago Silver (Samuel) Stone from an evil manager who isn't afraid to have him injured, possibly even killed. Bram is tied in knots when his ability to have the boy of his childhood dreams clashes with his ability to keep a job that means the world to him. He cannot have a relationship with the client and continue to work with the client. The story resolves realistically, which means all is NOT perfect. There were sacrifices that had to be made. The narrator, Austin Jay, was so truly perfect for this book and I liked it much better than I thought I would!

Great

I really enjoyed this audiobook.
It was so entertaining.
I can’t wait to listen to more from Aiden and Ali.

good listen

I enjoyed the story. I like a good bodyguard book so this was up my alley. The narrator was good. I wish he had a little more difference between the charters. Sometimes it seemed like they were all the same person because the voice all sound the same. Other than that it was a good listen.

Bram and Sam

Bram is a bodyguard who is assigned Silver a superstar singer who is being threatened by an old manager, who has been blackmailing him and a lot of other stars, whilst on assignment Sam (Silver) and Bram fall for one another, beautiful start to a series can't wait to continue

Captivating, listened to it all in one shot!

This audiobook captured me and didn't let me go until I listened to the entire book. The characters are interesting and I was fooled up until the end. A thriller that I haven't figured out right away is so refreshing! The narrator was awesome and I just loved it all!!

Great book and pretty good performance

I was given a free audio copy from the author and the GRR arc team for review.

Bram and Silver grew up in the same town. Silver came from a rich snobby family and Bram actually worked for Silvers mother doing gardening/lawn care. Bram harbored a crush on Silver his whole life so when he gets called to be a bodyguard for rock star and he sees it's his school crush, he is shocked and the feelings are still there. Silver however doesn't remember him at first til he starts to put pieces together. What he does know right away though is that he's attracted to the bodyguard. The problems standing in their way are Silver isn't out, Bram isn't out and Bram can't mix business with pleasure. He is there to protect Silver after he accused his ex manager of misconduct and had recieved not only verbal threats on his life but also physical acts of harm. So Bram must keep his feelings out of the situation to keep Silver safe. The temptation however is just too hard to resist.

I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. The premise is great and the plot was entertaining and kept my interest the whole way through. It didn't overreach and was believable. Just when you think that everything is obvious and predictable there is a little twist to surprisd you. At least I didn't expect it. I still would say this is a lower angst read though. The 2 main characters were well developed and had great chemistry. Their scenes together were very hot but they also had great chemistry outside of the physical. I would definitely recommend this book and will read more from these authors.

If I had any complaint it would be that the cover and even the title of the book gives off a much more intense vibe than the book actually entails. I actually almost passed it by for that reason alone as I don't like major action tropes and stereotypical tough hero types. But after reading the write up it called to me and I'm glad cause it really wasn't that kind of book and it really showed Bram in a softer side which was great.

The narrator had a great voice, kept a good pace and did a pretty good job expressing the emotions but he didn't really differentiate between the voices which was a little disappointing.

Looking forward to reading the next one. Even though I don't usually go for books about royalty the epilogue in this one has me intrigued. The Prince seems like a fun brat.

Hot bodyguard

I’ve listened to a few books by these authors and this one is my favorite so far. Silver (Sam) is a rockstar whose manager is blackmailing him. He knows a secret about Silver and holds it over his head until Silver can’t take it anymore and decides to do something about it. Silver ends up getting beat up pretty badly so he decides to head back to his hometown to meet his new bodyguard. Bram grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. One summer he works for Sam,aka Silver, family to earn some extra money. Sam ended up taking the blame for something Bram did. Bram had the biggest crush on Sam and he couldn’t believe he would help him out like that. Now it’s his job to protect Sam. There is definitely sparks flying when they meet but Bram knows he would lose his job if he did anything with Silver. But we all know how that goes! They begin seeing each other but have to keep it secret. Not only because of Bram’s job but Silver hasn’t come out yet. Someone is out to get Silver. There are a few things that happen and they don’t know who is doing it. In the meantime things heat up between Bram and Silver. The ending surprised me a little bit! I really enjoyed this audiobook! Austin Jay did a great job with the narration. I’m looking forward to the next book!
