The second book in 'The Hired Series' has Penelope, former girlfriend of wannabe Alpha, Adrian, getting hurt as she tries to escape from him again. Advised by the officer she reports her attack to that she can hire a bodyguard, she goes to The Haven and hires Ethan who is permitted to live with her in order to protect her. It is a new situation for them both and each learn about the other while living and working together. When Adrian attacks again, Ethan is forced to fight for Penelope and one thing leads to another.
Sexy, passionate and as with the first book, a bit of a thriller too. There is a nod to the first book although it wouldn't spoil a reader's enjoyment if they hadn't read 'Hired to Heat'. Great characters, believable situations and a HEA which comes as a relief after the tension. ( )

I think that Leann Ryans has a such a fresh look on the Omegaverse in this series, which makes me really like it. It's not dark, and there really isn't any kind of non/dubcon. It's just good, which yay, I like.

In this one, we have Penny, who needs a bodyguard to protect her from her scummy ex-boyfriend when the police can't help her. So, she goes to The Haven and hires Ethan for a month. He's the head of security, so he knows what he's doing, and he's going to keep her safe.

They both are excited about this. Her because she's going to be safe. Him because there's something about her that he's attracted to. It really is great. Except for the jerky ex who just isn't getting a clue.

I love the take on Alphas that Leann Ryans does. It's not what you usually see in an O-verse book. I feel sorry for the poor guys. They are really just oppressed badly. I like/hate how realistic this is when it comes to how Penny is treated by the authorities when it comes to her stalker. Makes me mad in real life, makes for good reading.

I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. ( )
