Bodyguard

This is a fairly good story but the narration wasn’t. I am looking forward to reading about Brianna’s brother. I hope Adams’ next audible book has better narration.

Action and Romance!

This story was a fun short read filled with intrigue and romance! I would give this story a 4.5.
Brianna has always had a little crush on her brother’s best friend but Tyler has only seen her as a little sister, or so she thinks. But there’s more to why Tyler keeps his distance than he lets on.
When someone seems to be stalking Brianna, Tyler appoints himself as her bodyguard, but can he keep his secrets safe in such close proximity?
Is Brianna even in real danger? Should he trust his instincts, or should he give her the space that she seems to want?
Spoiler alert!
I would give this story a 4.5, because I think Tyler would have left after the party as Brianna asked if pushed the right way. Certainly he wasn’t so dumb as to need the night as to figure out what happened to his truck. He would have still gone back after her when he got the call from her friend.
The narrator over played the southern accents a little, but did an overall nice job of reading the emotions of the characters.

romantic suspense

Tyler and Brianna work together and he is her brother's best friend. A stalker causes them to be in even closer contact which stirs up feelings between them. I loved this audio book!!! The narrator did a great job of switching voices and making me feel the suspense. The stalker was one creepy guy. It is a short listen but a well developed story. They had known each other for years so to me falling in love quickly was believable.

A Delightful and clean HEA

Tyler, her brother's best friend, is a security guard at the bank where Brianna works as a teller. Lee Garvin, a customer from a nearby town, is a customer who wants Brianna. Tyler becomes her personal bodyguard as Lee (Mr. Ponytail) ramps up his stalking.

I found myself getting frustrated with Brianna as she habitually held back important information from Tyler. This led to the predicted attack by Garvin.

This delightful southern story has the requisite HEA and even has an epilogue. The ending credits tell us there will be another story coming soon about Brianna's brother, Chase. I'm looking forward to that!

I recommend this wonderfully woven tale. The narrator did a great job with the accents, emotions, and voice changes. She made it easy to listen to and understand what was happening at any given time.
