| Elena is a vampire who has experienced the worst – kidnapping, degradation, multiple rapes. She’s free, but her tormenter, Lucian, is after her again, and her brother, Sorin, has hired round the clock bodyguards for her. Adrian and Nicholas rotate shifts, but Nicholas is the one who guards her the closest, and while she respects Nicholas, she is afraid to tell him she is vampire, not knowing how he will react since he is simply a human. When they realize their security has been breached, Sorin tells Nicholas to take Elena somewhere else until Lucian can be captured. Nicholas enlists the help of his brother, Nash, and Elena soon realizes there is more to Nicholas that she thought, and he is more than capable of keeping her safe in all ways.
This is my first Hasker book, and I must say I was really impressed with her writing style. The dialogue flows smoothly and was full of sensuality that was followed up with some red hot sex. Elena’s fear and insecurity was easily understood and Nicholas was able to express his feelings without loosing any of his alpha characteristics. It was comical how Nicholas let his feelings be known with his brother Nash in the picture. Which brings up the point of whether or not we will get to read a story about Nash? The Bodyguard does feature references of past violence towards Elena as well as anal sex and a ménage scene, both of which were written as a healing point in the story.
