ARC Review
Brutal Bodyguards by Jaye Pratt is a dark, spicy why-choose romance featuring masked men, obsessive protection, and high tension. The story follows Maddie, the sister of a famous rock star who is dealing with a dangerous stalker. Constantly guarded by her bodyguards—Ace, Rhodes, and Vander—she grows frustrated with the restrictions on her life and craves excitement and freedom.
Seeking a thrill, Maddie signs up for Wild Steps, a service that fulfills anonymous fantasies with masked strangers. What she doesn’t realize is that the men assigned to protect her secretly become the masked men she’s interacting with. Their decision blurs the line between duty and desire, creating intense chemistry but also setting up serious trust issues when the truth is revealed.
Each bodyguard brings a different dynamic: Ace is the commanding leader, Rhodes is playful and flirtatious, and Vander is intense yet surprisingly sweet. As danger from Maddie’s stalker escalates, the story mixes suspense, forced proximity, emotional conflict, and steamy romance. Fast-paced and addictive, the novella delivers protective, morally gray heroes, strong chemistry, and a layered why-choose relationship where love and trust must be rebuilt.

This book was spicy and so much fun. It's quick and dirty in all the best ways.
FMC has a stalker so she has three bodyguards. When her friend shows her a place to sign up to be chased in the dark by masked men she can't help but be excited. However, this is a nightmare situation for the bodyguards. So of course they decided to be the ones to fulfill her anonymous fantasy.
It's obvious there was plenty if sexual energy there to begin with. Seriously though these were some very hot primal scenes. Add in the fact the two of the men are also together. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What will happen when she finds out her anonymous hook ups are not so anonymous?

Masked, overprotective, obsessed bodyguards... Yes, Please!
If you are a fan of masked men, why choose, MMFM, and overprotective, obsessed men then Brutal Bodyguards is a must read! Maddie's brother is part of a famous rock band. Maddie is having issues with a stalker. She already has two sexy body guards protecting her. But with the escalation of threats they hire a third for digital security. Maddie is sassy, funny, and wants to have a little bit of fun. Her bestie's fiances run Wild Steps, a service that allows a person's wildest fantasies to be fulfilled by masked strangers. Maddie decides she needs some excitement so she decides to go for it. But her masked men aren't as unconnected to her as she thought.
I loved the relationship Maddie had with each of her men. Ace is definitely the leader and she loves to push his buttons. Rhodes or Dimples is the flirty playful fella. I love the banter between them. Then there is my bae Vander. He is intense, sweet, and I can't get enough of him! Once again, this was another amazing masked men novella by Jaye Pratt. I can't wait to see what comes next!
