She trusts no one… Bodyguard Laila Rabbinowitz is all business. Tough and stoic, she was the perfect Mossad agent…until a terrible betrayal led to her worst nightmare. Being a bodyguard with the Elite Guardians allows her to keep her heart safe-she'll never get involved with a client, never let anyone close enough to betray her again. And she's certainly not going to trust anyone who doesn't earn it. He needs protection… Billionaire Preston Whittaker walked away from his famous family after a terrible event, but he's put that behind him-or so he thinks. When his father and brother are killed in a suspicious boating accident, he must take the helm of the family business and carry on the family legacy. But someone doesn't want him at the helm. They want him dead. She'll have to pretend to be his wife to save his life… Enter the Elite Guardians. Preston is going to need someone by his side 24/7, and the only solution is…a fake marriage. Laila needs to pull off acting as the trophy wife to the country's most eligible bachelor. With the eyes of the paparazzi on them, she'll have to convince everyone that she and Preston are in love. But what will it cost her heart? Preston's reputation as a party playboy precedes him, and Laila doesn't belong in his world filled with parties and money. But is there more to Preston Whittaker that the world doesn't see? Maybe, in time, he's someone Laila could learn to trust. Only problem is, the danger is closer than they both know…and time is running out
5 STARS
I enjoyed this book a lot. Both Laila and Preston were really good main characters. They had believable struggles and I liked that it was a clean story with a Christian thread that is without people feeling like is being stuffed down your throat.
Laila has a really good group of people in the Elite Guardians group. Preston doesn't have very much support at all when it comes to his family and so called friends. So many selfish, me, me, me people. I would have liked to see his sister get the boot because wow. I did forget about Sebastian though and Seth who both definitely ARE in his corner.
Plenty of action, danger, and yes, some people biting the dust falling like domino's one by one in unpredictable ways.
The person who I began to suspect part way through the story turned out to be the main force behind all the murder attempts against Preston. Those attempts began to spread out to those around Preston as well so Laila isn't safe either. Wife or not his wife, she is seen as a target too. The time isn't right for a romance but that doesn't stop it from developing in a low key way.
I liked how the story ended with hope for the future.
I read this story through HOOPLA Library App.
