Bad Deal (A-List Security #3)
Annabeth Albert
I’m a bodyguard and far from ideal boyfriend material, but agreeing to this fake dating scheme might be the best bad deal I’ve ever made… I’m a fixer. As a SEAL chief, I succeeded in impossible no-win situations. Now I’m retired and determined to improve the lives of my former military teammates through our Hollywood security firm. Plus, I get to guard intriguing people like Ambrose Sterling, creator of one of my favorite TV shows. Of course, I want to keep Ambrose safe. When he’s attacked, I leap into action to save him and his scrappy little therapy dog. But my good deed results in a coastal road trip with me pretending to be Ambrose’s boyfriend to keep him out of more danger. I don’t do relationships, and I’ve never thought about dating a man before, but here I am, sizzling with every touch and dreaming about more stolen kisses. Each night of white-hot passion brings us closer to an unbreakable bond. But I’m blue-collar, and Ambrose is Hollywood elite. I want a happy ending more than anything. Can I turn this fake boyfriend gig into the real thing, or am I just a guest star? BAD DEAL is book three in the A-List Security series. It features a highly protective SEAL bodyguard, a suit-wearing silver fox, an adorably ugly dog, and all sorts of brand-new emotions. Get ready for all the high heat, big feels, and found family feels readers expect from this fan-favorite military romance author. Join A-List Security for this lower-angst series featuring former SEALs and the celebrity clients who win their hearts. Happy endings and no cliffhangers guaranteed!

0I wasn’t prepared for this to be the sweetest book (so far) in the series. Not that there’s no fire, but Harley and Ambrose are both a bit timid at times. Luckily, they fit together well. Harley is large and in charge of his day-to-day life as a former Navy SEAL and current security specialist. Ambrose may be a bit timid when moving about the world, but he knows how to ask for what he wants in the bedroom. As sweet as they both are, they don’t quite have the off-the-charts chemistry of the other couples. Yet they still have a beautiful connection.
When Ambrose is attacked and those around him are unsure if it was random or there was a motive, Harley steps in to protect him on a trip to Ambrose’s niece’s wedding. Since they don’t want to draw focus from her on her special day, they decide to do the fake couple thing; one of my favorite tropes. It’s only brief, and the trip leading up to the fake part is what had me falling in love with this couple.
The insecurities of both of these men are times endearing and frustrating. Everyone within their orbit can see what is happening and how they feel, but they are so sure they aren’t what the other wants and/or needs when they have to get back to the real world. It’s something they have to figure out for themselves for it to stick, though.
Seeing the way the people at A-List Security always pull together for one another is something I love about this series. They may not always agree with each other, but they will always have each other’s backs.
