Not Guilty of Books

  IDOL AU Because Canon Sucks Series by Rye Cox Release Date: July 8, 2026 Review A classic Rye style romance with a yummy bodyguard/rockstar pairing. They have an undeniable connection that, though they try, they can’t deny. And they are both so wonderful and kind. They match each other's needs, personalities and desires so well. I loved their back and forth, their quiet moments, their support.  It was a bit of slow burn, with a kind of fast conclusion, but I really liked it.

  ONE TIME ONLY by L. Blakely Release Date: November 18, 2020 Audio Release Date: November 16, 2020 Narrators: Jacob Morgan & Teddy Hamilton Review L. Blakely not only writes such full and vibrant stories, but they also choose fantastic narrators. I also love listening to her audiobooks. Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan deliver a wonderful performance as Jackson and Stone. Love a bodyguard romance.  I mean, you’re sexy, fit and are going to protect me!?! Yes please. These two hit it off from the word go. Joking and chatting with ease. They developed a great friendship, which is one of my favourite aspects of a romance.  And makes their inevitable turn to lust and romance believable. It’s a fun story, though, not without touching moments, and the meaningful impact of the past. Rockstar & Bodyguard have met their match in each other.
