Only in my family could a professional hockey player earning seven million dollars a year be considered a slacker.

I’m at the height of my athletic career. Yet my arrogant brother is always trying to recruit me into the family business: a global security company so secretive that I don’t even know its name.

Pass, thanks. I don’t need a summer job.

But the jerk ambushes me with a damsel in distress. That damsel is Alex, the competitive, sassy girl I knew when we were kids. Now she’s a drop-dead gorgeous woman in deep trouble.

So guess who’s on a flight to Hawaii?

It’s going to be a long week in paradise. My job is keeping Alex safe, while her job is torturing me with her tiny bikinis. Or maybe we’re torturing each other. It’s all snark and flirting until the threat against Alex gets serious. And this jock must become her major league protector.

Moonlighter is a stand-alone novel. No cliffhangers, no prior experience necessary. Contains: hackers, hockey players, and a hotel room with only one bed.

I was provided a review copy; this did not influence my opinion of the book.

Review

❝No man has ever overwhelmed me like Hurricane Eric. That was a category 5 experience.❞

Moonlighter had swoon-worthy men, kick-ass women, sexy times and a who-done-it plot that kept me thoroughly entertained!

Eric Bayer was the sexy, dirty-mouthed hero who was a protector at his core. Not only did he watch out for his teammates, but when his childhood friend found herself in trouble, he was unable to turn his back on her.

❝She tastes like desire, and smells like heaven.❞

Alex Engle was an independent, free thinker. She was fighting the “good ole’ boys club” as the CEO of the cable company that her father once ran. Depending on anyone was never an option for her, as her lonely childhood taught her. Then Eric showed back up in her life. Wanting to get all up in her business and do things for her. He wanted to be a presence in her life. And she didn’t know what to do with that. He wanted to pretend to be her fake boyfriend, to take care of her.  Could she handle a few days of pretending with Eric Bayer?

❝The truth is that I need Eric as my smokescreen. It’s a perfectly good plan. I just didn’t expect to experience a hormone spike every time he got near me.❞

‘Moonlighter’ is the first book in ‘The Company’ series and if this book is any indication where this series is headed, I am sure to love it!
