READ-2-REVIEW - CONTEMPORARY - SHATTERPROOF (The Shatter & Shock Duet, #1) by Xavier Neal

SHATTERPROOF
The Shatter & Shock Duet, #1
A Bodyguard Romance (Haworth Enterprises)
by Xavier Neal

BLURB

From USA TODAY Bestselling author Xavier Neal comes an all-new, best friends to lovers, forced proximity, bodyguard romance...

The assignment is simple.

Don't let the client get kidnapped.

Don't let someone kill her.

Don't confess that I've secretly been in love with her since we first met.

It's the last part that complicates what would otherwise be a fairly routine operation.  

Well, that along with having to move said client aka my best friend into my penthouse because pretending to be a couple is now part of our cover.

All of these things make my mission significantly harder.

As does her ex-boyfriend who just so happens to be our boss.

As does my partner who gets a kick out of making things uncomfortable for me.

As does my best friend herself when she has us crossing a line we can't uncross.

To the company I work for, my main objective is to stop an unidentified threat from eliminating one of their most valuable assets.

But to me?

My only job is to protect the love of my life - or die trying.

(This is book 1 of a duet. The story will conclude in book 2, Shockproof)

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . SHATTERPROOK (The Shatter & Shock Duet, #1) . . . Action. Intensity. Attraction. Friends-2-More. What can I say? Well, let me first start with no you do not need to read Bulletproof, but I would suggest it. I will be making that trip back to that one before the next one of this duet comes out. 

Slater and Arley left me wanting more. Yes, I knew this was a duet. I knew a cliffhanger was coming. It still did not make me happy to actually get to it. The story built up and then it was really getting intense. And bam. It was the end. An excellent point to make the cliffhanger on. Left you with questions, doubt, and wanting more. I am waiting excitedly for the rest of Slater and Arley’s story.  

I enjoyed the best friends to lovers, forced proximity, bodyguard romance aspect of this one. The one thing that had me really wanting to read was that this was best friends falling in love, but she was the ex- of his boss. This was a different kind of mixing business with pleasure and work. I had to have it all. I was not willing to give up. Tap after tap of the screen until I got to the end.
