Book Review - The Billionaire Needs a Bodyguard

I really liked The Billionaire Needs a Bodyguard by Ravina Hilliard. It is hardly an erotic novel but yet is so exciting. Alexandra "Lex" Granger and Michael Thornton makes sparks fly, of course, and the book will make you feel very hot, but at the same time it will also make you move and sigh. The ending is beautiful, I know I can't tell you anything, but trust me!

Mike is a handsome, intelligent and confident multi-billionaire bachelor, in short, a dream man. He built his empire on his own with great determination and this makes him a control freak in all senses. Mike will surprise you, will enchant you and above all it will make you terribly curious.

His actions and his way of expressing his feelings are captivating, often mysterious, but also capable of arousing truly intense emotions both mentally and physically. His reactions so contrasting, but so real and genuine, will excite you on more than one occasion.

Lex, is sweet and sensitive but also confident and determined, especially when she wants something and doesn't need to be different because she's a security consultant. Her job is to provide security to her customers, not to babysit them. When Lex was told to go undercover to protect billionaire businessman, she did not know how that mission was going to change her life.

Accustomed to a free life, she did not like having to pose as an escort to protect the life of a billionaire but knowing that it was the only way to go, she accepted it as a lesser evil becoming a bodyguard for a guy who has attractive looks. Lex, our protagonist, decides to infiltrate as a companion, or rather more correctly as a prostitute, in this world.

Of course she does not do it with her eyes closed. As she had anticipated when meeting her protégé, sparks flew because not in vain Mike represented everything that she wanted. The billionaire's opinion of her was no better because the costume did not deceive him and he saw her as a femme fatale.

Lex and Mike belong together, not only for the sexual and carnal attraction that overwhelms them during their encounters. Will they be able to find the strength and courage to confront each other on their intimate desires? Their experience has in fact strongly shaped their characters in an indelible way.

Lex will try to charm him with her affable ways and her breathtaking appearance, but she is a different woman. Her elusive attitude will literally drive Mike crazy. The constant game that arises between the two catches you, it doesn't get heavy, and you want to keep reading to see what happens.

While she does her job, which is to protect him from the "bad guys," an uncontrollable passion is emerging among them. They are two characters that I will hardly forget, it would make no sense to do so. Summarizing their story of hate and love would risk ruining one of the most beautiful works published so far.

I don't have the right competence to do it and to put it all the way down: I don't even want to try. I want you to immerse yourself in reading, I want to feel your hearts throbbing so fast that you can't breathe, I want to make you suffer to the end just like I did.

Let's start from the beginning: the cover and the title I find are in line with the story that the reader will then find himself reading and fantasizing. Essential and clean I would define it. I state that I often do not see the textures of the books that I am going to read, but I choose them based on the feelings I have looking at the cover image.

Let's proceed with the story: I find it was conceived and developed in a fluid way, there are no pauses where the reader does not understand or get bored, anything else is always catapulted to the right and left by the events. The relationship between Lex and Mike is passionate and lively. I also liked the other characters.

A fluid and engaging writing, with an extremely pressing rhythm; even if you find analogies with books already read or famous, I assure you that this is a story worth reading, because it will surprise you. The author managed to give us a gash in the soul of her characters, making everything incredibly fascinating and engaging.

I have to admit that, regardless of whether I liked them or not, how the characters are treated is a highlight of the book, since we end up knowing everyone perfectly. They are very explosive, both for good and for bad: Lex is the eternal professional who does not want to do her job badly for anything in the world.

I found the story a light and pleasant reading, the narrative structure intersects the voices of both protagonists in each single chapter, managing to have an all-round vision. The story seems a little surreal, I don't say anything else to not take away your curiosity, anyway the cliché is always the same.

Although the plot is very hackneyed, the author has managed to give it the appropriate focus, creating a story with very well defined characters, with unexpected twists and agile dialogues. I read it in one afternoon. A very pleasant text where the intrigue is maintained throughout the novel, make the set very attractive to read.

The style is very flowing, both the places and the moods of the protagonists are accurately described. I find there is a right balance between the physical and sentimental part. The bond that is created between Lex and Mike is gradual enough not to be senseless, not imposed, both have different feelings in different ways, and this limits the trust placed in others, leading them to experience mixed feelings.

I really liked this book, and I must admit that this author is incredible. In short, this romantic novel, I liked it, is entertaining, the progress of the relationship between both hooks, has some erotic parts, (very few) and the level of action is not secondary, both go hand in hand. So I can say that I liked it very much by recommending it.

I can tell you that in this novel nothing is missing: suspense, passion, love, mystery, intrigue, jealousy, and more. There is a lot of sweetness, rough and other very romantic scenes, and a very special ending. What should I tell you? I would have liked a little more.

I hope I can find the right words to describe this novel. A hard, ruthless story, far from the usual romance, but no less beautiful. Quite the opposite, in two words: simply gorgeous. But do not be fooled because there is nothing simple. Action, passion, anger are the basic ingredients, but what made it to my eyes is the style of the author.

She leaves nothing to chance, she managed to build an intricate story, difficult to accept and at the same time so easy to love, so much so that I unwittingly felt myself catapulted into the middle of the novel and, like an anonymous and well-hidden spectator, I was able to participate personally, horrified and bewitched, in the events involving the two protagonists.

A plot so masterfully woven that often sent me into confusion, causing me to doubt the ending, a finale that I already knew, (who knows me well knows that before starting a novel I must know the epilogue). Before putting my feelings on black and white I had to think carefully and I still know that I have not been able to express myself better, but for once I ask you to trust me. Then you will tell me.

Can a novel upset? Can a book draw you into its pages in a few sentences and prevent you from letting it go to the end word? Well, here it is. It is very difficult to talk about it because I don't know how or where to start. Maybe I could tell you it's a romance, but it's not just that. Or that it's a detective story or a spy story, but it's not even that alone.

Book Review - The Billionaire Needs a Bodyguard
Or that it is an erotic book, but this too would be an understatement. A psychological analysis? Also, but not only. It involved me so much that I could imagine it on the screen, like a movie. I could see the script, the protagonists, the sets, I heard their words, I could touch certain environments with my hand. Fortunately, there aren't too violent scenes, but a lot is imagined and this is perhaps even worse.

I don't know if I managed to convey everything I felt while reading, certainly not. I'm just a passionate reader who wants you to read this book. I want you to read it and get overwhelmed like it happened to me.

Follow this suggestion: choose an evening when you know you can rest easy, make yourself a hot chocolate that you will forget, and immerse yourself in this extraordinary book, which will skin your soul and which will thank you for being here.

I can only congratulate the author for this "romance-reportage", the editors, and the publishing house that has given me the opportunity to peer briefly into this infernal world, with the hope that nothing of the it never happens to any of us.
