Witness to Passion

Guarding Her Body Series, Book 1

De: Naima Simone

Narrado por: Mari

Under his protection and in his bed . . .

For Fallon Wayland, birthdays are just another reminder of her looming spinsterhood. This year is shaping up to be no different. Fired from her job, dumped by her boyfriend, and oh yes, witnessing the murder of a high-ranking lieutenant in the local crime family . . . Yeah, birthdays suck.

Ever since a disastrous, hot-as-hell kiss years ago, soldier-turned-security specialist Shane Roarke has avoided his baby sister's reckless—and gorgeous—best friend. Yet when her life is threatened after she witnesses a gang hit, he insists on protecting her . . . even if she objects.

The two are forced to hole up in a safe house. Alone. Passion long denied erupts between them, burning away their inhibitions. But even as layers—and clothes—are peeled away, danger closes in. Shane and Fallon might finally have a chance at love . . . if they survive long enough to see it.

Contains mature themes.

Childhood Love

I love a good friends-to-lovers story, especially when it involves a childhood “nemesis” who didn’t even realize they were in a rivalry. There’s something so satisfying about watching their journey unfold seeing them grow, recognize each other’s strengths, and ultimately accept one another for exactly who they are. Their love story is just so fulfilling.

Witness to Passion

This was sweet and friends to lovers. So good! I really like this one. I would not be oppressed to a follow up story. Plus, I love Mari!

Drama. Heat. Suspense,

Mari is great. The chemistry between the FMC and LI is hot! The situation that forced them back together is intense. The twist was a little obvious, but it was still really enjoyable.

Whiny

She is too much of a airhead it’s Ann you can not possibly be that clueless to every single situation seriously grow up

If “if you don’t get to the point!” was a book…

I have to remember that this author drags her stories out, the characters inner dialogue is so exhausting it completely takes you out of the story. Having one narrator makes it hard because it’s really monotone and monotonous, but the inner dialogue kills the story. Every time someone said something the persons inner dialogue would take over for what felt like 5 minutes, and when they would respond I completely forgot what they were talking about. It’s that bad.

I imagine some people would find this story beautifully written, but I to me it needed an actual story because there was no suspense and too much thinking. I started reading another book by this author, but had to quit for this very reason.
