Description

Bodyguard. [Noun]
A person hired to escort and protect another person. Escort and protect. Definitely no flirting, kissing, or testing the bounds of third base. 


Dean Foster has nearly two decades experience being calm, cool, and collected. His first gig in his new private security contractor role should be more of the same, but Nashville superstar Liana Hansen blows all that out of the water in one breathy hello. 

Liana isn't sure how she feels about the straight-laced cop shadowing her everywhere she goes, but there's no denying the chemistry between them. Too bad he insists on keeping his clothes on. And then there's the pesky matter of feelings. Neither of them likes those.

With only a dozen stops left on the tour, one of them is going to have to bend. Or the other is going to wind up breaking something.

--

Book 5 in the Pine Harbour series: Dean Foster (ex-cop, army reservist, newly minted bodyguard) meets his match in Liana Hansen (Nashville superstar, woman of many secrets, supremely reluctant protectee).

    This is book 5 of the Pine Harbour series and it's about Dean Foster and Liana Hansen. Dean is...#ArmGuy. He's sexy, built and family means everything to him. In other words, he's perfect. He's totally into her and she him. She's quirky and sassy with a tiny bit of shyness. They are perfect for each other except he lives in Pine Harbour and she in Nashville. He's a bodyguard that's only assigned to her temporarily and she's a country star that tours a lot. See the problem yet? Great story! I think I need to move to Pine Harbour. What a fantastic place and the men there? Yes, that's on my imaginary bucket list. This is another hit for this very talented author. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.

    I received an ARC in exchange for a honest review. Dean, an ex-Army man, has just started his new job as a bodyguard. He's been on the job, not even 24hrs, when he's asked to be the bodyguard for Liana. Liana, a country music star, has recently started having panic attacks while on tour. Her ex is making her life extremely difficult as he's one of the people in charge of which songs of Liana's are produced. He makes snide comments and hovers around putting her on edge, hence the panic attacks. Hope, Liana's best friend, convinces her to accept help and allow a bodyguard to accompany her for the rest of her tour. Dean, the oldest of several brothers, decides it's time to live his life. For years, he's helped raise his brothers and decides it's time to do what he wants to do. He quits his job as an officer and opens a security business with a friend. His first case is Liana, country music star and the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. He's sooo screwed! Lol. While Dean's not fond of country music and has lots of preconceived notions about Liana and life on tour, he ultimately decides to take the case. While on tour, Liana exposes Dean to "life on the road" and social media. During one of her live feeds, her fans see Dean's arm and even dub him #armguy. Dean also sees, first hand, what a snake Liana's ex is. He realizes that the songs Liana wants to sing and produce, aren't the ones her ex thinks will sell. Dean quickly realizes how much control a record label's producers have and they don't necessarily have checks and balances against someone who's bent on vengeance. The situation has gotten so bad that Liana no longer enjoys performing on stage in front of large crowds as she's afraid someone in the audience won't like her songs, hence the increasing panic attacks. Dean ultimately decides Liana needs professional help and sets her up to see a therapist. With Dean's support and love, Liana decides life on the road is not for her--for now. With Liana's ex finally out of the way, Liana decides to take some time off and concentrate on writing. Liana and Dean's story does end with a HEA! It is #5 in a series, but can be read as a stand alone. I have not yet read this series, but did not feel as though I missed a lot of the "back story". I thought this novel would have a little more suspense, but I truly enjoyed reading it. I can't wait for the next novel to see how Dean's little brother deals with his war injury!
  • AMAZING!

    I was so happy to return to Pine Harbour, the home of the Fosters and the Minellis. This book is recently retired law enforcement Dean Foster's turn to have his world turned upside down when his world collides with country singer, Liana Hansen. Liana is the best friend of Dean's sister-in-law. Liana is struggling with performance anxiety and ongoing emotional abuse from her ex-boyfriend and current boss. Dean is hired to give Liana a shield from upsetting encounters with her boss that trigger her anxiety. As they go on the road to finish up her concert tour, Dean also gives her emotional support and friendship. Mix in their strong physical attraction, and they soon start secretly hooking up. Both initially feel that it can't be more than physical given the differences in lifestyle and geography. But their feelings continue to grow, they each try to figure out a way to overcome their fears. Both Dean and Liana are likable characters that have the reader routing for them to find their HEA. As usual, Ms. York's writing is flawless, and it is always great to see the characters from other Pine Harbour novels. The epilogue sets up the story for Dean's youngest brother, Sean. Can't wait for more Pine Harbour!

    So happy to return to Pine Harbour! This is the fifth book in the series but each book reads as a standalone. Dean Foster is a former cop who is now working private security. His first job is to watch over Nashville superstar Liana Hansen. These two couldn't be more different but the spark between them is bright and fierce. He lives his life in the shadows making sure everyone he loves is safe. She lives her life in the light with tons of adoring fans and people pulling her in all directions. Together they can perhaps find the perfect balance for both of them to have it all. This story is wonderfully written and I adored these characters. This is one I highly recommend.
  • Dean and Liana's relationship burns up the pages

    I fell in love with hero Dean Foster in the very first pages of Love on the Run. Zoe York is known for writing hero-centric, sexy stories and this one does not disappoint. Dean is the perfect temperament for hot-mess musician Liana. He joins her as his bodyguard but its quickly apparent he's so much more: part therapist, part bodyguard, 100% lover. Their relationship burns up the pages from the minute their eyes meet and by the time they get together, their relationship is explosive. Stolen moments in concert venues and shadowy corners heighten the intensity until they are able to find a moment alone. Dean's a protector in all aspects of his life, and that's why he's perfect for Liana. He quickly figures out how to read her moods and meet her needs, whether its for a protector, friend, or lover. I just love him. The author realistically depicts the life of a musician, at least as best as I would imagine, not being one myself, but the frenetic pace of life on the road comes through the words on the page. The interpersonal dynamic of Liana and her band and their differing personalities creates humorous and tense situations. But in the end, the intensity of Dean and Liana's relationship burns up the pages of Love on the Run. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
