He was the Beast without the escape clause.

Francis “Liv” Livingston was a beast. No matter if he wore a perfectly tailored suit or if he was in his tactical gear, people avoided looking at him. He was always first to volunteer for the jobs only a person with a death wish wanted. Tomorrows weren’t guaranteed. His boss had come to him and told him he needed him for a job. Linus knew the jobs he liked, but when he opened the file, it all went to hell.

Beauty was only skin deep.

Fielding Haskell made his way in the world on his looks. He’d earned his first film role before he could read a script. He didn’t want the fame. He wanted to go to college. He wanted a man who didn’t look at him and see how pretty he was. Unfortunately, a so-called fan only cared how attractive he was, and it earned him a personal bodyguard and a vacation. He looked forward to the break until he met the man in charge of his safety and wondered if the danger he left was worth dealing with a sudden attraction to a man who was colder than ice.

EXCERPT

He disconnected the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket. “That for me?” “Yes, sir, I didn't mean—” Fielding swallowed hard. “I wasn't listening.” The boy closed the distance between them quickly and thrust the mug at him. He caught it before it made a trip to the ground. “Black. I noticed you didn't, um, put anything in your coffee. Is it strong enough?” He hesitated with the mug at his lips. He swore the boy was holding his breath waiting for his approval. Taking a sip, it was perfect, but he took his time to see how long Fielding would keep himself from breathing. Nothing much amused him anymore, but that was doing it for him. During the time the boy was in his home he'd picked up on little things about him. Fielding's need for approval. The boy's natural submissiveness. Fielding was also downright domestic. “Not bad.” “I'll do better. Are you going somewhere?” “No, not for a few more days. We’ll head to the office for a check-in, and see what Linus’ boy, Hunter, found out about your stalker.” Interesting, the stalker comment hadn’t earned a flinch, but the moment he said boy, the kid’s perfectly arched brows rose. “Make a list of anything you need. We’ll hit the store before we come back.” “Can I get candy and chips?” The question took him by surprise. Fielding didn’t look like anything fattening ever passed his pretty lips. “Do you want candy and chips?” “So much.” He hid his smile behind his mug at the boy’s longing sigh. He’d noticed the boy didn’t eat very much, not enough in his opinion, but Fielding wasn’t big. Tiny compared to him, probably not for normal sized men. “We’ll see then.” “Yes, sir.” One more submissive little yes, sir with averted eyes and the boy was going to find himself on his knees worshiping his cock. He was too old for the boy, but his dick didn’t seem to have a problem with it. What made it harder to resist Fielding was a natural submissive born to be someone's boy. He was inclined to dominate and to have the perfect boy in front of him was more temptation than he'd ever experienced. He needed to get Fielding as far away from him as possible and soon.

REVIEW

Review by: Jennifer

(4 Stars)

Liv is part of a security team that handles a wide variety of tasks. When his boss tells him that his next assignment is a babysitting one, Liv is anything but happy. He only wants the most dangerous of assignments, the ones that mean he may not make it back. Not given a choice about it, Liv will take on this new client whether he wanted to or not. Fielding is told what to do, how to do it, when to do it; every step of his life has been controlled for him by his parents and now that he is up and coming in Hollywood, his agent as well. When he is targeted by a stalker, Fielding has to drop out of sight until the stalker is caught, what Fielding didnt realize was dropping off radar would be in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a broody, yet sexy stranger. Liv has nothing that he can offer Fielding, he is a beast, a monster; so he pushes Fielding away at every chance. When all is said and done will Liv still want Fielding go, will Fielding even want to stay?

So this was a new to me author, and while I really enjoyed this story, this turned out to just be an ok read. With lots of name dropping, and hints at other stories, it felt like I was missing pieces even though this is the first book in a series. Drama, violence, a few plot holes, some daddy dom kink (which gets an A in my book), I give this 4 stars.

J.M. Dabney is a multi-genre author who writes mainly LGBT romance and fiction. She lives with a constant diverse cast of characters in her head. No matter their size, shape, race, etc. she lives for one purpose alone, and that’s to make sure she does them justice and give them the happily ever after they deserve. J.M. is dysfunction at its finest and she makes sure her characters are a beautiful kaleidoscope of crazy. There is nothing more she wants from telling her stories than to show that no matter the package the characters come in or the damage their pasts have done, that love is love. That normal is never normal and sometimes the so-called broken can still be amazing.
