All I wanted was a break\u2013two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.<\/p>\n

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I\u2019m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.<\/p>\n

And guess what? There\u2019s only one bed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, he can couch it.<\/p>\n

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he\u2019s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can\u2019t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it\u2019s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don\u2019t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.<\/p>\n

Instead, I end up kissing him.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t even know how it happened\u2013one minute we were at each other\u2019s throats, the next we were at each other\u2019s mercy. What\u2019s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.<\/p>\n

But emotional trust doesn\u2019t come easily to me. And we\u2019re on two completely different paths.<\/p>\n

Without question, I\u2019d put my life in his hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t ask me to give him my heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Xander\u2019s friend asks him to be the security detail for his country music star sister, he can\u2019t say no. He owes his life to his friend and will do anything for him. So, even if the sister doesn\u2019t want Xander there, he\u2019s going to do what his friend asked and make sure she is safe.<\/p>\n

Kelly, also known as Pixie Hart, just wants a vacation alone especially after her old secure detail leaked photos. She ends up in a cute little rental and is expecting some quiet relaxation, but what she doesn\u2019t want is the huge, hot man her brother has hired watching her every move. Xander won\u2019t back down though, so she is stuck with him in her tiny cottage and one bed. Of course, he\u2019ll sleep on the couch, right?<\/p>\n

Xander and Kelly are fantastic together and give us a smoking hot yet sweet romance. They start off on the wrong foot because Kelly does not want Xander there, but things take a turn with one move and then they can\u2019t keep their hands off each other.<\/p>\n

This book is full of heat as these two light the pages on fire. However, it\u2019s not just the sexy times that make you love this book. It\u2019s the trust that these two have that really move their relationship. I love the Xander supports Kelly and gets where she is coming from especially since becoming famous. She hasn\u2019t had much say when it comes to what she wants to do and Xander is there to help push her to do the things she wants to while giving her the trust they need to form a strong unwavering bond.<\/p>\n

And Kelly is so good with Xander. He hasn\u2019t been looking for something serious but Kelly changes everything. They are at different points in their lives, and they live in different areas so making things work after Kelly\u2019s vacation comes to an end will be hard. But they are good at knowing what matters and they make every moment count.<\/p>\n

Overall, it is so good to be back in Cherry Tree Harbor. I loved Kelly and Xander\u2019s story and enjoyed getting more of the characters we met in the first book. I can\u2019t wait for more from this small town!<\/p>\n
