For sixteen years ex-SAS commando Aislin Rhodes has been
the bodyguard to a world famous rock star and he's good at
the job but with Nick Blackthorne pretty much retired he
might be out of a job. He could return to the service, the
Defense Force would take him back in an instant, but he
wasn't quite as keen on that as he might have been in his
younger more gung-ho days. Or he could take a job as an
advisor on a Hollywood movie that is being filmed in
Australia with star Chris Huntley. The actor needs help on
being more of the "brooding commando" the director wants
and who better than an ex-commando who is more than MUSCLE
FOR HIRE to do the teaching.
It becomes a much more intriguing idea when he gets taken
down on his "arse" by a gorgeous woman named Rowan
Hemsworth, the actor's sister who just happens to be a
martial arts expert. Rowan isn't exactly thrilled with her
brother becoming friends with the rock star's bodyguard,
because she has worked hard to keep him on the straight and
narrow. Being an actor could be bad enough without being
exposed to the rock star life. After seeing that he has too
many "yes men" around him, Rowan has broken up the growing
entourage and hoped to not have to go through that again.
Despite her misgivings about the new person involved in her
brother's life, or maybe it is the British accent,
Rowan can't help but be very attracted to the man.
Almost immediately unexplained accidents begin to happen
and though Aislin quickly decides that Rowan is the target,
she cannot believe it. So he makes himself her bodyguard
and the fact that he would love nothing more than to possess
the body he's guarding only adds to the thrill despite the
dangers that keep befalling them.
MUSCLE FOR HIRE is a one hot read that holds you glued to
the pages all the way to the end then leaves you wanting
more. Aislin and Rowan are sizzling almost from the moment
they meet and Lexxie Couper has a way with
words that has your imagination flying. I enjoyed all the
aspects of the storyline, with the backgrounds of the main
characters coming in as you go along, the different
secondary personalities that have you wondering if one of
them could be the culprit, right up to the unexpected
ending. I can't wait for more from this author.
After sixteen years as the personal bodyguard to the
world’s biggest rock star, ex-SAS commando Aslin Rhodes
excels in the role of intimidating protector, oozing
threatening menace. Now that the singer has retired, Aslin
takes a new assignment as a military consultant on a
blockbuster film. But just as he’s getting comfortable in
the world of Hollyweird, he faces an unexpectedly immovable
object. An American martial arts expert no taller than his
chin, who promptly puts him on his arse.
Rowan Hemsworth’s focus is two-fold—keep her famous brother
grounded, and never again be a defenseless victim. She has
her hands full as the fun police, keeping her brother’s
money-sucking entourage at bay. But nothing prepared her
for the British mountain of muscle who makes her knees go
uncharacteristically weak.
When a string of accidents on set convinces Aslin that
Rowan—not her brother—is the target, things get bloody
tricky as he tries to convince the stubborn woman she needs
his protection. And accept that she belongs with him. In
his arms, in his bed…and in his heart.
