THE WEDPOCALYPSE CONTINUES…
Marlon St. James wants only one thing: to be left alone.
He has a house, a successful private security business, and endless peace and quiet. Things are exactly as they should be.
Until Camilla.
His brother thrusts soft, sweet, curvy Camilla Fox in front of Marlon and announces that she’ll be moving into Marlon’s house. Otherwise, she’ll be homeless.
Fine. Marlon isn’t a monster. He can lend her a room. Temporarily.
Yes, she’s the woman of Marlon’s dreams. No, he’s not going to do anything about it.
He wants her. He can’t have her. The end.
All he has to do is stay away from her and quell the protective instincts that try to rise up and choke him.
Camilla doesn’t need protection from Marlon; she’s a baker in demand, not a damsel in distress.
That is, until Marlon learns that Camilla’s life isn’t as sugar-sweet as it seems, and she might need the help of a six-foot-four private security consultant after all…
My Review
Marlon is protective by nature but also a loner. He is brooding and grumpy. He agrees to a favor for his brother but lets his sister-in-law’s best friend live with him. But he does like Camilla enough for her to capture his attention.
Camilla loves her bakery. She is independent and strong but also in debt to a loan shark, which is terrible news. Her bakery seems well off, but she also has other issues, especially romantically.
Marlon’s protective instincts run deep, especially toward his new roommate. This story is highly spicy, with many little moments warming up to the big act. Definitely for mature readers, and I like the midlife characters.
This book ends sweet, just like her baked good, and some misinformation and misunderstandings don’t stop them from finding their HEA.
