Synopsis

When the lines are erased, the passion begins.

Lines define Tracy Rhodes’s life, and she has no say in the matter once she is sworn in as second-in-command of the free world. But the lines are crushed beneath the boots of her security team’s special advisor during a high-profile event in Vegas. The towering warrior with the haunting stare shatters her composure, invades her libido, and makes her yearn for things she shouldn’t. Sweaty, illicit things…with her body pinned beneath his… 

John Franzen, six and a half feet of rigid composure on the outside, is a lost man on the inside. What’s he doing here? A guy isn’t supposed to survive eleven years in Special Forces, especially after the crazy missions he’s been assigned. Accepting the security gig in Vegas is just a favor to a friend―a way to fill time that’s become too damn empty lately. Until the cushy “babysitting job” becomes the most treacherous mission of his life, and the politician he’s protecting becomes the woman in his bed. The lover beneath his bonds. The submissive he longs to claim forever. 

She’s destined for marble halls and an oval office, and he’s wired for jungles, dirt, and violence. Will her passion be enough to tame his demons? To claim the ultimate warrior as her own?

Can this be read as a standalone? 

The characters are introduced in other stories but this is definitely their story. So could be read without reading others in the series.

 My Review:

This story is one I waited for with an impatient heart. I longed to get inside the man that we have known for so long in the Honor Bound series. John Franzen or "Dragon" has been the gentle giant of the group of Special Ops. Franzen, the burly islander who traded his surf board for a pair of fatigues and a weapon eleven years ago, now finds himself protecting the second in command of the US government. This assignment proves to be more than just regulation security detail especially when the second in command wears kitten heels and an intoxicating scent that calls to his dominate side.
Tracy Rhodes carries more responsibility now than she ever imagined. Yes, she is the Vice President, but first and foremost she is Luke's mom. They both lost everything once and she'll do whatever it takes to protect her son. When a simple change of plans finds the brigade running from an explosion the security detail takes on a new meaning. John and Tracy cannot deny the fuse that is lit when they touch for the first time, or the blast of fireworks that erupts when the both let go of the pain.
All I could imagine was The Rock as John and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Tracy~just a magical story!!
