Protecting His Assets by J.K. Coi

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM

Description:
CEO Steve Nolan is wealthy, successful, and in danger. Now, thanks to his business partner, he has a bodyguard—a rigid, controlled woman with a smoky voice that invites steamy thoughts of rumpled sheets and oh-so-satisfying sleepless nights. So if Steve has to play the game, he’s going to make damn sure he’s in charge of the rules…just as long as no one finds out.

April Porter has met incredibly handsome, high-powered men before. Guys just as smooth, who didn’t take her seriously, and who broke her heart. So she’s just here to do her job and stay focused and professional.
Even if Steve Nolan isn’t just another rich jerk.
Even if the sexual spark between them keeps getting hotter.
And even if protecting his business and his ass(ets) means April could lose her heart in the bargain…

Review:

Protecting His Assets by J.K. Coi started off pretty slow, and I did find it easy to put down. The author uses both the Christian and surname of the main male character in the book, which made me go back several times to check if it was the same person in a few conversations. But once I persevered, it turned out to be a pretty good read.

Nolan is not happy, not happy at all, to be told that he needs a bodyguard (or babysitter in his words), which was a punch to his ego. However, after receiving death threats, Nolan has no choice, but to tell his friend and business partner. It is his friend who decides that Nolan needs a bodyguard.

April is working towards becoming an FBI agent, but as her father is very sick, she now works as a bodyguard, to help towards his medical bills.  April she enjoys her job, but she finds it hard for men to take her seriously.

The sparks between April and Nolan begin to fly almost immediately. He sees her as a challenge, not his usual type of date. She sees Nolan as a pampered playboy, but after a few accidents, April begins to see him in a new light.

 Once the assignment is over, will the chase be over for Nolan? Or will he want to keep April close forever?  You will need to read this book to find out.
