Book Review: "Free Fall" by Kathryn Nolan

I was yesterday years old when I discovered that there’s a bodyguard romance sub-genre. I mean, I read Katherine Center's The Bodyguard, but who knew it was an actual sub-genre? If there are other books like this one, my devotion to hockey romance might be in jeopardy!

When Luke Beaumont’s enormously wealthy father, whom he hadn’t spoken to in five years, dies, he is shocked to learn that he’s now the heir to a massive real estate development company. Luke doesn’t get why his father would leave him the company, when he was grooming his brother Preston to take over.

Luke would like to get as far away from the family business as he can, and continue working as a water safety and surfing instructor. Of course, his father manipulated things so he’d lose his trust fund if he tried to shirk his responsibilities. Another thing that Luke inherited is a need for a full-time bodyguard, especially because his father had been getting death threats.

Elijah, his bodyguard, is a strict rule-follower, and he doesn’t like that Luke won’t listen to him. Elijah is also seriously sexy, which isn’t lost on Luke. They feel a very strong connection, but Elijah doesn’t want to jeopardize his imminent promotion—plus if he lets Luke distract him, it could prove dangerous.

Just as the death threats are heating up, so is the fire between them. When Luke is kidnapped, Elijah will do anything to find Luke, not just because it’s his job, but because it’s the man he loves.

“When I stayed close, I kept Luke from danger. When I stayed close, Luke was the danger.”

This was STEAMY, emotional, romantic, and suspenseful. Couldn’t get enough!!
