Saved By My Dad’s Best Friend by Haley Travis

3/5 stars

I didn’t feel as much chemistry between Lena and Roman as I’d have liked to. Roman was introduced as this alpha male, ultra protective guy, but he didn’t really do a whole lot overall to protect her. Then he missed the really obvious signs of who the creep was….

It was hard for me to get a read on Lena. Roman kept talking about how young and innocent she was….so, was she 18? Older? I pegged Roman to be around 35 or so, but I’m really confused about Lena. Roman also acted like a nervous teenager with his first crush. Not at all how I expected an older, experienced dangerous man to be.

The one thing I did roll my eyes over a bit was their first bedroom encounter. Any woman who’s having her first time will absolutely need preparation, especially if their partner is….well endowed. Romance novels skip that part a lot, and the guy just shoves it in there because she’s so wet that it miraculously slides right in **cue eyeroll**

I love a bodyguard romance, though! They’re so goofily stereotypical, but that makes them fun to read. Her dad seemed to take everything really well, which was a nice change for an age gap.

Thank you to Give Me Books for the ARC! My review is my honest opinion!
