Bad Deal by Annabeth Albert

4.0

Harley (40) is a confident, big muscly, tattooed former SEAL, from a humble background who works as a bodyguard. Ambrose (41) is from a well known Hollywood family, the creator of a popular TV show and suffers from a panic disorder. He also is the proud and loving owner of an emotional support dog named Hercules that weighs 5kg and gets carried around in a padded bag.

Whilst Harley is working security at a location shoot for the popular TV show, Ambrose is attacked. This leads to a series of circumstance that have these highly likeable men being fake boyfriends at a family event. Being polar opposite’s doesn’t dampen the chemistry between them and before long heated smexy times begin. Harley and Ambrose both feel and acknowledge the emotions between them but a miscommunication due to their fears and doubts does create some minor angst on the way to their HEA.

I found this to be a very enjoyable and interesting read that kept me fully engaged from start to finish. Characters from the two previous books in the series make appearances but this can be read as a standalone.
