I would be much better without Rhys Malek in my life, I even have a list of reasons:

One, Rhys Malek annoys the shit out of me.

Two, Rhys Malek is way too hot for his own good — for my own good.

Three, I can’t stop thinking about him in ways I shouldn’t be thinking about him.

Oh, and he’s my bodyguard. So there is no way of avoiding him.

When Lola Alans survives an attempt on her life, her father doesn’t want to take any more chances — as the daughter of a high profile politician, someone clearly wants her dead. Enter Rhys Malek, an undercover special operative, who also happens to be the world’s sexiest and most frustrating bodyguard.

Lola hates Malek on the spot, but there is something about him that she can’t ignore. Maybe it’s his sexy brooding ways, or maybe it’s the fact that his job is to protect her, but beyond her attraction, she knows there is something deeper between them. She tells herself it’s only lust at first, but as things begin heating up, Lola and Malek act on pure instinct alone.

And no matter how much Malek protects her body, he can’t protect her heart.

One-click for a steamy, action-packed romantic suspense that will keep you reading...all night long!

Wow! This book was kind of intense! Lola and Rhys had some fire! The tension from the beginning was so good. This was more of a slow/medium burn compared to a lot of the stories I read, but it had a well developed plot that kept me hooked from start to finish.

An incredible debut novel that immediately pulled me into the middle of all that was happening and kept me totally immersed in this steamy, action-packed suspenseful thriller until I read the last word. I loved the undeniable attraction and chemistry between body guard Rhys Malek and Lola Alans, daughter of a high profile politician. I look forward to reading more from this gifted author. I received an advance reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Savage writes intelligently, plots well, and provides enough clues so that her conclusion is reasonable. She crafts an interesting plot well salted with sexy encounters. Her subsequent books should be worth checking out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deep Romance, Light Danger
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2021
I don't give a synopsis of a book. That isn't a review, and it certainly isn't honest or original; that's just a summary.

So, a hot guy notices a hot girl, and a hot girl notices a hot guy, and it's because they have to be in close proximity. That makes sense. If I had to in close proximity with someone who could double as Mr. July Firefighter, absolutely. I would be thinking about all kinds of reasons to drop my handkerchief and pick it up again in front of him. There were some things they did that I also do, like not look at someone when I'm trying to communicate and I feel vulnerable. And sometimes we go into an arrangement that is supposed to be all business, no feelings, but honestly, I don't know many people that can successfully pull off not feeling even one little smidge of something for another person when "friends with benefits" is in place - because you're friends. Aren't you supposed to at least like them or feel some sort of affection towards them? Don't call it FWB if you are only staying long enough to stir the coffee, and as soon as that's done, you're going to toss out the cup. Whatever. You know what I mean.

I really struggled with the dangerous portion of this book. I don't know if the author wrote up an outline and said, yeah, that works. I don't know if the author invited others to look at the outline, or if others read the book for the sake of honest feedback before publishing. I felt like we got through about 85% of the book before the conflict really was explored. But as everything was finally coming to a crescendo, it was just kind of lackluster. What was so shocking or thrilling or mind-boggling? I couldn't even tell you now. Was it just an excuse for the main characters to get together and hook up? I think so.

As far as the main characters were concerned, I did get a pretty good picture of them, as far as their tastes went. HOT. They liked hot. That's about all I can tell you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written debut novel....
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2022
This novel was pretty good for a debut novel. The plot could've been developed a little more, but despite that the story was one I kept wanting to read. I also would've like to had more of a build up to connect with the characters. I think this would've made the story more enjoyable.

In Pure Instinct, Rhys and Lola have been entwined in each other's lives for some time, and as the story goes on we do get to see and understand how. Both were pretty vulnerable at times throughout the story. The end of the book wasn't what I hoped for. It kind of left things unfinished. I would've liked a little bit more to finish up their story. Overall, I enjoyed the book and characters.

I received a free ARC from Hidden Gems for the promise of an honest review.

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022
Rhys and Lola protest too much that you know they are on the edge of love/hate. He’s hired to protect her but that leads to them acting on their explosive chemistry. Danger is still close by. This is a great romance I like the way this author writes the sexy moments, they are hot but not too explicit. It actually makes it hotter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2022
The relationship between Lola and Rhys is intense from the very beginning. He is assigned to be her bodyguard after her father is kidnapped. At the same time he is looking for evidence of illegal activities of which Lola is unaware. She is recovering from a bombing that killed many others while the press is trying to get to her for a story. As a persona non grata in the eyes of the public her efforts become more difficult as does keeping her safe.
I couldn’t stop reading until the very last word.

4.0 out of 5 stars Running out of time
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022
Lola is living on borrowed time her mental state is holding on by a thread and everytime she goes to sleep she remembers the smell the fear the screams and the death she should have died in that bombing and someone wants to make sure they don't miss a second time.

Rhys has worked several cases the past few months and evertime he gets close to solving something his boss pulls him from them and reassign them to someone else all that work wasted and credit going to someone else now his boss wants him to babysit a senator's daughter Lola he doesn't want this job he hates her father and he and Lola aren't friends either. But he'll do his job and maybe he can find some dirt on her father.

Soon things are tense for other reasons ones that don't have anything to do with being shot at. Both Lola and Rhys are fighting there attraction hes keeping secrets and Lola is hiding a painful past and now Rhys is of the case and away from Lola when she needs him most.

This was a slow build-up romance with chemistry and danger the scenes were any violence may have been done were faded out leaving the reader to figure out what happened some of the bad guys were obvious while others I didn't figure out till the end. With one crazy man behind everything. So its a 4.5 stars for me not a bad read.

I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via HiddenGems and this is my honest review.

Sexy mysterious betrayal, this book has it all.
Couldn’t see the ending coming at all, loved the characters and Rhyes and Lo are hot together!
If this is Maxine’s first book it’s going to be hard to follow.
