LOVERS LIKE US

Like Us Series #2
Publication Date: October 31, 2017
Genres: New Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Twenty-seven-year-old Farrow Keene lives by his actions, and his actions say he’s the best at whatever he does. As a 24/7 bodyguard and the new boyfriend to Maximoff Hale, protecting the headstrong, alpha billionaire has never been more complicated. And one rule can’t be bent:
Keep your relationship secret from the public.
Farrow is confident he’s the best man for the job. But a twist in Maximoff’s fast-paced life sticks them with the rest of Security Force Omega and their clients.
On the road.
In a sleeper tour bus.
For four rocky months.
Sexual frustrations, check. Road trip drama, check. Awkward bonding, check.
But Farrow couldn’t have accounted for a high-risk threat (identity: unknown) that targets Maximoff before the ignition even turns. And it hits Farrow — someone has it out for the guy he loves.
Every day, Maximoff & Farrow’s feelings grow stronger, and together, they’ll either sink or swim.
Proactively waiting isn’t
my thing. I can admit that. So when Farrow unwraps a piece of gum and tugs open
the fridge, I ask him, “Need help?”
He chews his gum slowly and glances at me in a way that
reminds me he’s twenty-seven. I’m twenty-two, and he’s more than capable to do
shit himself.
Farrow starts to smile. “It’s cute that you think I need
help getting eggs.” He grabs a carton and kicks the fridge closed.
“You could’ve dropped the fucking eggs.” I’m fighting a
stupid battle. And I grimace-smile which makes me want to poke my own eyes out.
Farrow pops his gum. “You mean you would’ve dropped the eggs.”
“Did I? Pretty sure I meant you could’ve.”
Farrow sets the carton by the sink. “I have steadier hands
than you.” He leans close and whispers huskily, “You’re not beating me at
this.”
I shake my head on instinct. When it comes to Farrow,
boyfriend or not, I don’t want to concede that fast. “It’s not proven yet.”
He rolls his eyes into a smile. “Hold out your hand.”
I extend my hand, palm-down. Wondering how he can discern
any shake just by sight.
Farrow rotates my wrist. “Like this.” And then he smashes an
egg right in my palm.
Don’t smile at him.
Don’t smile at him. “Thanks for that,” I say sarcastically, hand dripping
in broken eggshell and yolk.
“Anytime.” He laughs, and I act quickly and wipe the runny
egg onto his black V-neck, feeling the ridges of his six-pack beneath.
Farrow props his elbows on the sink and actually lets me use
his shirt as a towel, even while he’s wearing the thing. Christ.
He’s a Grade A sexy asshole.

It was the one rule he had to break.
Maximoff Hale is a force of nature. A ship unwilling to be steered. Headstrong, resilient, and wholly responsible — the twenty-two-year-old alpha billionaire can handle his unconventional life. By noon, lunch can turn into a mob of screaming fans. By two, his face is all over the internet.
Born into one of the most famous families in the country, his celebrity status began at birth.
He is certified American royalty.
When he’s assigned a new 24/7 bodyguard, he comes face-to-face with the worst case scenario: being attached to the tattooed, MMA-trained, Yale graduate who’s known for “going rogue” in the security team — and who fills 1/3 of Maximoff’s sexual fantasies.
Twenty-seven-year-old Farrow Keene has one job: protect Maximoff Hale. Flirting, dating, and hot sex falls far, far out of the boundary of his bodyguard duties and into “termination” territory. But when feelings surface, protecting the sexy-as-sin, stubborn celebrity becomes increasingly complicated.
Together, boundaries blur, and being exposed could mean catastrophic consequences for both.
Oooh how have I not read the first one yet? I feel like I've seen it around a bit. At any rate, must check it out soon and thanks for the giveaway. I'll be back to enter!

ReplyDeleteOooh, I would be so excited if you did, Sam! Definitely start with Addicted to You. It's the book that started it all. You'll meet Lily and Lo and it goes from there. It's my favorite contemporary series ever.

ReplyDeleteThe Addicted series (these are a spin-off of that series) is my favorite contemporary series ever. So when they announced this Like Us series I was over the moon! :)
Deletehaha if you start squeaking Tanya then I feel pressured to read the book! :) and you know even though I sigh roll my eyes complain.. I do have a weakness for "Grade A sexy assholes" I'm even liking Daemon :) LOL
ReplyDeleteWell Daemon certainly qualifies as a Grade A sexy a-hole! LOL
DeleteThis sounds so good!!! Of course, I won't start it until I finish the Addicted series and the other spinoff first but it's nice to know I have this goodness waiting for me. :)
