A Sweet Bully College Romance (Coldwater, Michigan)

By: Ashlea Ryan

Narrated by: CC Kline

Protective, hunky, and tattooed...the perfect recipe for disaster!

Caroline Summers never wanted a bodyguard, especially not Rune DeLuca, a brooding ex-mafia enforcer who treats her like a spoiled princess. Forced into her life after a dangerous criminal threatens her family, Rune is as infuriating as he is protective, shadowing her every move. She fights him at every turn, but when danger strikes on campus, his brutal skills may be the only thing keeping her alive.

As tension ignites into something undeniable, Caroline realizes the real battle isn’t just surviving, it’s resisting the pull toward the bully she should hate. But can love blossom in the midst of danger?

Her Bully Bodyguard is a standalone, full-length Sweet Bully College Romance.

Fabulous narration BY CC Kline

Immaturity Overload, Hard to Finish

The bodyguard constantly calling her “sweetheart” and “princess” in front of her father felt more creepy than charming, and the flirtation during that scene was honestly uncomfortable. It came across as over the top and unprofessional, especially considering he was hired to protect her. Unfortunately, the story itself didn’t improve much for me. The heroine was frustratingly immature, making one poor decision after another, and her manipulative attempts to get a reaction were exhausting. I found her completely unlikable, which made it hard to stay invested. The narration didn’t help either—flat and same-sounding throughout—so I ended up speeding it up just to finish. Overall, this one felt like immature drama rather than an engaging romance.

Enemies to lovers bodyguard romance

Story - 4/5 ⭐️
Narration - 4.5/5 ⭐️

Her Bully Bodyguard by Ashlea Ryan is an enemies-to-lovers romance that hits all my favorite beats: forced proximity, sizzling tension, and a heroine who refuses to back down.

Caroline, a college student with a stubborn streak, finds herself in danger and saddled with a bodyguard she never asked for. Enter Rune: grumpy, growly, and absolutely not here to make friends. She’s feisty, he’s broody, and every scene crackles with banter and slow-burn chemistry.

If you love protective MMCs, strong-willed FMCs, and the kind of tension that makes you want to scream “just kiss already,” this one’s for you.

🎧 Audiobook listeners, rejoice: C.C. Kline’s narration is pitch-perfect. She brings Caroline’s sass and Rune’s gruff charm to life with nuance and heat. Huge thanks to her for the review copy!
