Review: The Bodyguard's Ruin

 

✩✩✩✩

 

He must keep her safe from her enemies—but can he protect her from himself? Amongst the stars, passion ignites between a determined ambassador and the bodyguard sworn to protect her.

Jenna Mir-Brennan’s marriage is over. After two years of hell, she’s dragged up the courage to leave her bullying husband. Now she’s focused on negotiating a ceasefire with the enemy.

But from the moment she sets off on her mission, she finds it hard to keep her mind on the job.

The man leading her security team both unnerves and fascinates her. She doesn’t want any romantic entanglements, especially with her bodyguard, yet now she’s at risk of losing her hard-won composure.

Malik Mir-Draven swore an oath to protect the clan-lord and his family with his life. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting the sister of the man he serves—a woman he can never have.

However, when Malik escorts Jenna on a peace mission, the boundary he never thought he’d cross starts to blur.

And when disaster strikes, ambassador and bodyguard are thrown together in a fight for survival. Passion ignites, tearing down the boundaries between them.

Out of her depth, Jenna’s sure that Malik will be her ruin—but he fears she will be his.

Review: It took me a while to get into this book, but when I finally did it became a pretty pleasant science fiction adventure, with a bit of a hot romance thrown in. The plot may seem to move a bit slow in some places, but is sure accelerates towards the end of the story.

I never warmed up too much to Jenna and I wished the romance didn't feel so much one sided (from Malik's side) for most of the book. 

In the end, the character that intrigued me the most was Vic, the mercenary Jenna hires to help save her family, so I will for sure move on to book two in this Galactic Clan Wars series to read Vic's story (the books are stand alones, but seem to follow a time sequence and share some of the characters). 

 

Happy readings,
