 USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a spicy, age gap, grumpy sunshine, workplace romance in the first book in the brand new Landry Security series. Troy Castelli acts like it’s my fault that we’re cooped up together in a room with one bed overlooking the ocean. I didn’t ask for a stalker to break into my house and then send me a threatening email detailing my demise. And I sure as heck didn’t request that my boss send Troy and his uber elite bodyguard skills to accompany me out of town—although I’m not mad about it. A paid tropical vacation with a grumpy, gray-eyed bad boy in a suit isn’t exactly a burden. But it is a giant test of my willpower. Troy’s alpha protector tendencies drive me wild. His arrogant smirk gets under my skin. But it’s his not-so-innocent touches, heated looks and touch-her-and-die vibes that are the final strike that ignite our explosive chemistry. The longer we’re together, the more his broody exterior slips, and I get a glimpse of the real man beneath the sculpted muscles. I’m determined not only to unearth his mysterious past but also to make him realize what we have is more than just a fling in paradise. That is, unless my stalker gets me first. 4.5 Heart Review by Ashley Have I been waiting for Adriana Locke to write Troy's story for a few years now? Sure have. Did she let me down? Not at all. Did I read Pulse in one sitting? You know it! I adored Dahlia. She was smart and sassy and didn't back down from Troy and his brood. For as much grief as he gave her, he also couldn't get her out of his head. Too bad he wasn't going there. Until a threat landed on her doorstep and he had no choice but to step up and in to protect her. Nothing like a little life or death forced proximity to put things into perspective. It was so nice to see behind the curtain of his gruffness to the good man underneath. For as much as he tried to pull away, Dahlia pushed. Good thing too because he could only take so much where she was concerned. And when he finalllllllly gave it, it was oh so worth it. They were playful and sexy and dirty and sensual and just downright hot! The danger was always lurking. I found myself holding my breath while things played out in daring fashion. From start to finish Dahlia and Troy's opposites attract, workplace romance was witty and sarcastic while also being steamy and heartfelt. And that ending...be still my happy little heart, it was perfect for them.
