Guardian Angel by Sean Michael

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Even if the story is the classical plot of the bodyguard who falls in love for the hot singer whose body he has to guard, but not with lust, Guardian Angel is more romantic and less adventurous than expected.

It’s the collection of three novella previously released as a serial, but the combination is not discontinuous, on the contrary, I’m wondering how people was able to wait for the single releases, since the three chapters are pretty much connected, and the timeline is almost without interruption.

The start is abrupt, Rafe is a FBI agent who had the mission to “kidnap” country singer Daniel to take him in a safehouse: a group of religious fanatics want to kill two birds with one stone, do a very demonstrative action, the kidnapping, and maybe convince Daniel to become their public persona. One way or the other, they have not the chance, since Rafe arrives before them and drags Daniel literally away from the stage. At first Daniel is not at all collaborative, but when he understands that Rafe is one of the good guy, and above all that the young agent has also a very personal interest in him, Daniel thinks that maybe he can get something very good out of the situation.

Probably Rafe’s apparently innocent is what it sounded more strange, he was after all an FBI agent, but during the story, we understand that he is probably a rookie, and it’s quite right given that Daniel is not exactly the president, and that after all, the villains seem to be not dangerous. For this reason, when there are the necessary dangerous moments, with gunshots and losses, they seem almost too much in comparison to the erotic romp that Daniel and Rafe are living. True, I’m not exactly the most impartial judge, it’s obvious that I prefer to read of Daniel’s slow seduction of blushing Rafe, and maybe fast skimming through shootings and co.

As always Sean Michael’s style is very clear, fast action, both in than outside the bedroom, clean cut dialogues, and two mainly men who enjoy a down and dirty type of sex, but that don’t disdain cuddling afterward.
