REVIEW:
Guarded Hearts: A Little Falls small town romance is a delicious new book from one of my favorite authors, Wendy Million. It is a steamy romance that will literally burn your fingertips while you are reading this one. The love between Pasha and Alyssa is absolutely swoonworthy.
If you have read the other books in this series, you will remember that Pasha is the Russian bodyguard of Mia, the popstar. I love Pasha received his own installment of the series. He deserved it. Alyssa is one of the dancers in Mia’s concert tour. This is her second tour with Mia and Pasha has been watching her since the first tour. Alyssa choreographs a dance routine for Mia’s wedding and asks Alyssa to teach it to Pasha. The sparks begin to fly!
I love the character development in this series. Most of them are from Little Falls or at least live there. People from small towns are a little different from big city people. I’m not knocking big towns. I just seem to gravitate to small towns and books that take place in them. They always make me feel like I have had a visit home. Remember, in small towns everyone knows each other and their business!
If you love steamy romance or just like it for a break from your normal reads, Wendy Millions Little Falls small town romance series is a must! Guarded Hearts was a “do not miss” for me. I do think you need to read the whole series from book one. You will get a richer understanding of the background. I think each book will stand on its own, but the experience will be more fulfilling. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:
My boss’s bodyguard is every temptation I can’t afford.
Beautiful. Thoughtful. Protective.
Falling for Pasha could mean I lose everything: my dream job as a dancer on tour, my chance to pay off debts, and my heart.
At first, I thought we could have one night together, but I was wrong.
I can’t escape this pull we have between us like two planets circling each other–always close but never colliding.
When our popstar boss comes to me to help him learn a dance for her wedding, yes is the only answer. It doesn’t matter that being near him makes me want what I can never have.
Every move we make reminds me of what it was like to be tangled up in bed together.
Love taught us both that love and loss go hand in hand.
Except no one has ever made me feel as safe as Pasha has.
Maybe–letting our guards down could mean forever this time.
Content considerations: risk of bankruptcy, death of a partner
