REVIEW: Passing His Guard by Melynda Price

Passing His Guard by Melynda Prince, impressed me with its witty dialogue, intense sexual tension, and its attention-grabbing storyline. Warning…make sure you have a few hours to kill before starting this story, because you won’t be able to put it down.

The writing is easy to follow but more importantly, it’s easy to lose yourself in the author’s words. To say this book is well-written would be an understatement. The writing is descriptive, imaginative, and completely spellbinding.

I thoroughly enjoyed both characters. Ryann and Aiden felt like a breath of fresh air. The type of characters you would bring to life if you had the ability.

Ryann is tough. She’s also resourceful; she knows she has to get Aiden back to his family and uses any means necessary. She’s entertaining, holds her own, and sees beneath Aiden’s defenses.

Aiden was a surprise. Anyone who calls himself “Disco Stick” is definitely going to be a trip. I was a little worried about him in the beginning. My first thought was “oh no, not another manwhore” but he’s more than that. He has to be one of my favorite heroes I have ever read. He’s strong, genuine and caring. He’s also arrogant, swoon-worthy, and full of surprises.

Passing His Guard is the first book I’ve read from this author, but it sure won’t be the last. Romance, humor, and suspense weaved together perfectly, makes this a must read for any romance fan.

Aiden “Disco Stick” Kruze walked away from it all—money, family, friends, and a successful career as a lawyer in Manhattan—to pursue his dream of being an MMA fighter. When a sexy private investigator shows up at Aiden’s gym, he mistakenly assumes she’s a cage-banging groupie.

Ryann is determined to haul Aiden back home. She’s desperate to claim the reward money that will pay off her father’s creditors before the man who killed her father comes to collect from her.

Aiden is done living his life under the microscope of being a senator’s son. He’s not going back to New York—ever—and there’s nothing this tenacious redhead can do about it. Or is there?

When the demons of Aiden’s past catch up with him, he realizes the lies, deception, and betrayal run deeper than he ever imagined. Aiden must put his career and his life on the line to save the woman who’s stolen his heart.
