Need a bodyguard?

Ward Security is one of the best security companies in the country, even if the bodyguards tend to find love in the most unexpected of places.

Computer specialist Quinn teams up with private investigator Shane to track down the hacker attempting to blackmail the mayor in Dantes Unglued. And bodyguard Royce poses as billionaire Marc Foster’s boyfriend to stop a killer before it’s too late in Deadly Dorian.

Ward Security Bundle Volume 1

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

So glad these books were put together into one.

This series was one of the first series I read when I started reading M/M books and have enjoyed them all. I didn’t start listening to the series right away but when I saw these three books put together to listen to I new that was what I needed to do. Hoping more books will be put together to listen to. I did pull the last book of this series in to listen. Really enjoyed this group of books.

Three action packed books in one!

The first three Ward Security books are action packed, complex stories full of great characters! I enjoyed all three. I had to suspend belief in the third book. Marc hires Royce to be his bodyguard and within a week or so something major happens with Royce (the bodyguard). Royce is secretive, so instead of calling on his coworkers and best friend to help him, he tells Marc- the one who just met him. Ok, I could maybe believe that, but what I could not believe is that this man who has known him for such a short time would fly him to a different country and do some seriously illegal and deadly things to help him. I’m trying not to give away spoilers here. But as completely unbelievable as that is, the story is fast paced, complex, and has enough passion to light up Paris. So in the end it gets a 4 star rating.

What a ride!!

Woo hoo! This box set took me on one heck of a ride! The twist and turns in each book kept me guessing. The love that develops was in spite is what else was going on and the last book in this volume really took a different turn, but it was so awesome!!

Security Most Welcome

Loved the book, the security really turned to love. A love that
really and truly turned into a love that would last a lifetime,

Loved it

I love the guys of Ward Security. This bundle is perfect because it gives you the chance to listen to them back to back. I also love the late Kenneth Obi. He was a great narrator and is sorely missed. I would love to see the newer books in this series done but they would have to get a different narrator and it just wouldn't be the same.

I NEED MORE!

I love these guys! even more than the others. Their stories should definitely be expanded upon.

An awesome bundle...

Three great stories in this bundle and each was great in their own right. The writing is engaging and entertaining and the narration by Kenneth Obi is phenomenal! Below is a rundown of each story in this bundle...

Psycho Romeo: What a wonderful book. I loved the characters (Geoffrey and Sven) and I loved the story line. I will admit that I was a bit surprised at the "bad" person, which only made me love the story that much more. Ah, to fall in love amidst the mayhem, what a story to tell the grandkids. Looking forwarding to reading the next in the series.

Dantes Unglued: The tale of Quinn and Shane was one that intrigued me...casual to 'oh my god, I gotta have you' so quickly provided a bit of whiplash for me. But I did enjoy the backstory to their budding romance and I am glad that the two of them found each other.

Deadly Dorian: I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I found Marc to be a determined individual and Royce filled with mystery and intrigue. I liked the back story as these two characters developed their relationship. The intrigue, the mystery, and the doggies. Cute. A great listen.

Addictive

Love the characters and how they move between stories from the original series into this spin-off. The story is strong enough to be mainstream without all the steamy bits.

Surprisingly loving and good crime stories

Very well written, the characters remain in character, which is a point for me to enjoying any book, even if we don't know this in the beginning. Sometimes normal people need protection for a while is the theme of most of this series.

There's a little too much repetition, especially of certain words (please use a thesaurus--in MM fiction alliteration has become passe from overuse) and infinite details in boring places, but I like this bundle quite a bit. I'd give it a solid 4.8. I'll listen to it again. All are strong characters, even if there is a little too much back and forth pondering in places instead of introducing new red herrings. Ultimately, these are romance stories, yet the crime element is stronger and better in this romance bundle than usual for those of us looking for both together.

As for the crime story, this is neither too hardboiled nor too easy going, It exists in that odd space in between because the crime stories and characters are strong for the less intense crowd of crime enthusiasts without going so far as cozy. Quite the opposite. Other than the fact that there are way too many love scenes to pump up the page count and qualify as a romance (I skipped several), this is a great bundle. The number of sex scenes doesn't ruin the crime/suspense climaxes, which is always a plus for those of us who want the climax to fit the crime as top priority. I consider these stories closer to crime than romance, though they fit into both categories best.

I love and miss Kenneth. It's always good to hear his voice again. This series is one where his very specific, unapologetic, and unusual audio character shines through in a very good bundle of protection agency crimes. I'm not really into the protection agency genre that often, but I think this series exceeds many I've opted for. And while humor isn't intended here, these serious stories don't make your stomach ache all the way through. This is not suspense, just good.
