Stuck with her off-limits, taciturn, hunky movie star client during a sudden snowstorm on Christmas Eve, an extremely capable and highly professional bodyguard must keep him alive and warm without letting the tension building between them get too hot. Bathsheba (Beth) Ryan can’t thank her best friend enough for helping her land the job of her dreams. After being relegated to second-string security for politicians in DC, being hired as an undercover personal security specialist by a giant Hollywood studio is exactly the kind of action she's always wanted. Until she meets her first assignment. Cyrus Malcom can’t thank his agent enough for arranging a blind date with seemingly the woman of his dreams. After spending the past several years playing all the parts and climbing all the ladders, the lonely mega movie star finds himself actually enjoying a night on the town for the first time in ages when he meets the gorgeous, funny, and genuine Ryaine O’Rourke. Until she shows up at his studio meeting the next day with a completely different name. A world-wide press tour and too many late-night parties later, Beth simply needs to get through a short, one-day visit during the Christmas holiday, and then she’ll be free of Cyrus Malcom’s confusing hot looks and cold shoulders for good. But just as they leave the airport, it starts to snow . . . ‘Drama King’ is the second book in the Three Kings Series, is a full-length, contemporary romantic comedy, and can be read as a complete standalone. 4 Heart Review by Ashley Drama King is signature Penny Reid and had me hooked from the very first page. Believe me when I say Beth and Cyrus had the most hilariously disastrous blind date in history. And when they come face to face again...cue the awkwardness. I liked that they were both so put together when it came to their professions, but their personal lives were a bit of a mess. There was no denying the sparks between these two. But with Beth being part of Cyrus's protection detail, there was nowhere for their mutual attraction to go that wouldn't cause a scandal... Nothing like a bit of forced proximity with a touch of the forbidden thrown into the mix to keep me on the edge of the page. Cyrus and Beth's delicious slow burn was full of sharp, witty banter, and enough will they or won't they to keep me hanging on every smart and sarcastic word.
