Publisher's Summary

Geoffrey Ralse is known for being the life of the party. He loves the club scene, hanging with his friends, and flirting with whomever catches his eye. He certainly isn’t going to stop living his life just because some would-be stalker starts sending him threats.

But it all changes when Geoffrey is drugged and wakes up half naked in his own home with a new message from his stalker. He needs help, and there’s only one person he trusts....

Protective Agent Sven Larsen has been fighting Geoffrey’s flirtatious advances for months, even though he’s impossibly drawn to the man. There’s no way he can be around him 24/7 and not finally crack. But one look at Geoffrey’s haunted eyes and he knows there’s no way he’s letting Geoffrey walk out of Ward Security without him. Even if it means breaking his own rules, he will keep Geoffrey safe.

Exciting and Fun

Psycho Romeo is the first book in Drake and Elliott’s spinoff series Ward Security. It features the same action, adventure, thrills, and humor that they are known for in the Unbreakable Bonds series.
Geoffrey Ralse is in trouble. He’s being stalked and threatened and needs help, so he hires Ward Security to protect him. He insists on having Sven Larson be his bodyguard until the stalker is caught. The chemistry between Geoffrey and Sven has been building for months. Geoffrey has made no secret of his attraction to Sven’s during self-defense classes at Ward Security. But Sven is the one person he trusts most to protect him.
Despite making every effort to deny his attraction to Geoffrey, Sven eventually gives in to the undeniable chemistry that they share. As they live together while the experts at Ward Security track down Geoffrey’s stalker, the two begin to explore feelings that go beyond simple attraction.
This book was an exciting adventure from start to finish. I enjoyed the banter among the Ward Security team, and I thoroughly enjoyed Geoffrey’s flirtatious sass. While he is witty, irreverent and delightfully flamboyant, he is also thoughtful and sweet.

I enjoyed he narration. Kenneth Obi told the story with emphasis, adding emotion and enthusiasm at the right times. He altered his voice to fit he personality and demeanor of each character. I especially enjoyed his portrayal of Geoffrey. It was just as I expected Geoffrey to be: lively, flirty, and a little flamboyant, without being stereotypical.

First Time Straight to audio

I am a rare audio book person, but have found myself becoming a fan of Kenneth Obi. This is the first book I listened to the audio only without having read the book first. New to me authors as well.

This was a great story! Ticked all my boxes for suspense, romance, sexy times. Kenneth does a great job of using the proper tones in his voice for the different areas to convey happiness, scared, aroused and any other emotions.

The only complaint I have, and it may read differently as opposed to hearing on audio, was the first chapter (possibly two) introducing so many side characters. The reasoning to meet all of these characters is necessary for the story plot, but I think it is possible it could have been spread out a bit. I think I remembered one name from the original set up and learned/recalled the rest during the story.

This appears to be a series and I really cannot wait to hear the next books.

A perfect narration to an awesome book

Full disclosure: The Unbreakable Bonds and Ward Security books are auto buys for me. I really love the whole universe that Drake and Elliott have created, so I was actually of two minds when I heard they were going to make their first foray into audiobooks. On the one hand, I am a huge audiobook listener and it's thrilling to have a beloved series expand into new areas. However, there's always that chance that a narrator's interpretation will be so divergent from how it was in your mind that it may spoil it all. Thankfully, Kenneth Obi does a really lovely job, especially when considering how many important characters voices are established here. The heat between Geoffrey and Sven is hot but rooted in a friendship and trust that makes it all matter so much more. This was a great listen and I look forward to possible future adaptations of these excellent stories.

Loved this book

I can't wait to dive more into this world with all the intriguing characters. I may need to back track to the Unbreakable Bond series first.

Excellent!

I loved Kenneth Obi's narration of Psycho Romeo! I have listened to a couple of others that he has narrated and have really come to enjoy his renditions of some of my favorite books :) This was no exception! He absolutely brought these characters to life. I can't wait to listen to his next book!

Great listen!

I find myself continuously coming back to Kenneth Obi's audiobooks. He really makes all the characters he's narrating come to life, and Geoffrey and Sven were no exception.

As for the story, I hadn't read the ebook before this, so it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. This follows Geoffrey, who finds himself being followed by his own personal stalker. He enlists the help of a bodyguard named Sven to keep him safe.

This was the perfect combination of romance and suspense. The characters had so much chemistry between them, there was humor despite the suspense, I can't wait for the next books in the series!

Great book!

I did enjoy the book, narration and storyline. Loved Geoffrey, he was like the energizer bunny and very sweet. Sven was like a Nordic God and was pretty sweet as were. Love how they slowly came together and really got to know each other. Great storyline, great narration.

Loved the story and new narrator to me.....

Once I'd gotten used to Kenneth Obi's voice, I really enjoyed this audio book. As a Drake and Elliott fan [big time], I was a little wary of their choice of narrator as some authors just don't seem to bother matching their characters to narrators, but I think they've hit the jackpot first time around!! His voice for Geoffrey [who is one of my fave characters] is sweet, full of sass and kind; although Geoff is rather flamboyant, the narrator didn't feminise his voice at all [thank goodness]...he's ALL man, as Sven found out :-). Sven's voice, as you'd expect for a Viking man mountain [and Geoff's own personal jungle gym, hehe] was deep and husky, and you can tell that Kenneth Obi has put a helluva lot of thought into the character voices for both this series, and I assume the Unbreakable Bonds series, cos his Andrei voice was just to die for, swoon. Rowe and Noah, Snow and Jude also made an appearance, and I shall certainly be buying the audios when they come out. Congrats to all concerned, and 4.5 stars overall for this effort. <3

Outstanding!

Loved it, the story is fantastic and the narration is Kenneth Obi at his best! He brought the Ward team to life for me, It's not an easy book to narrate as there are so many reoccurring characters aside from the main MC's but he does a fabulous job. Geoffrey is so cute! Cannot wait for more of the Ward Security books on Audio, I've read them all and am so looking forward to listening to them.
