a review of Diva (Ironclad Bodyguards) by paigeturner1000
I liked this age gap romance between Ransom , our uptight bodyguard and Lola, the Diva.
This couple had a difficult and challenging start. They started as enemies and had a hard time moving to the friend zone. Despite their lack of friendship the couple had an underlying sexual chemistry that continued until they finally gave into each other.
Ransom was hired for more than Lola's bodyguard. Part of the job was a mentor and a friend to this music diva He had some insight due to his past. Ransom wanted to keep this secret from Lola . Unfortunately, he couldn't keep his past hidden. It followed and shaped his future. Oddly, it helped him become a better man.
Lola reminded me of Miley Cyrus. She was an out of control music star who needed some tough love. Ransom come into her life at the right time. She was immediately smitten with her bodyguard but he wouldn't give in. She wasn't going to take no for an answer.
The pair is able to put the age gap, career goals and destructive behavior aside to forge an everlasting bond. I liked the playfulness that this couple had both in and outside the bedroom.
While I enjoyed the book, I think it needed a bit more to their story. They spent a lot of time fighting each other then trying to work on being a couple.
