Sweet Talker by Robin Bielman - ARC Review




 He likes to be in control…

It’s like this: I’m the hottest restauranteur on the west coast. I work hard, play hard, and love my family. I’m also the guy on the receiving end of some unwelcome threats and fixation. Then Pascale Nichols walks back into my life, and I forget about everything but her. They say lightening never strikes twice, but she’s the one that got away. She’s also, I soon discover, the one my family *secretly* hired to protect me. Am I mad? Hell, yes. Am I game to play along? You bet.

She’s in over her head…

Everyone knows and loves Ethan Auprince. With his sexy-as-sin dimples and crazy likeability, he’s always the center of attention. I’ve been tasked with protecting celebrities, bigwigs, and high-ranking officials, but when I come face-to-face with the man I spent one incredible summer with, I’m in trouble. A careless mistake on my last assignment cost me, and now Ethan is looking at me like he wants to devour me, not cooperate with my subtle instructions while I work under the guise of his restaurant manager.

My reputation is at risk. His safety is on the line. But worse, were falling in love again.



I enjoyed Ethan and Pascale's story.  I loved that she was the bodyguard, the one who was capable, and that it caught him a little bit by surprise.  (There's a fabulous paintball scene that I am not going to spoil, but it was so much fun.)  I also loved, without spoilers, that this really wasn't much of a story about one part of a couple keeping a secret, which is not always a favorite trope...it was, but, it wasn't, and I loved the way this was handled.  Really, read it and this will make sense.

I liked the characters, I believed in them as people and also in their attraction and their relationship.  As with all relationships, there was some compromise to get to the happily ever after, but I believed it, and I believed the characters would make (and be happy with) the decisions made to get them to their HEA.

This is the 2nd book in the American Royalty series, and while it can be read as a standalone, it was also fun to read it after having read the 1st one, as you get a little bit of an update of the characters you met previously.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
