The Dreamboat (The Package Deal World) (The Portland Protectors - EHM Security Series) by Emerson Beckett & Rheland Richmond

The last book in the Portland Protectors series is here and we finally get to see The Dreamboat fall for his Commander!


From the blurb:

They call me Dreamboat for a reason. My friends say I’d flirt with my shadow if it got me laid, and they’re not wrong. I’m a good-looking man with a high sex drive and I love a good time. I know what I like and have no trouble getting it.

As a former Navy SEAL, I’m highly trained to handle dangerous situations. The security firm I work for with my three best friends in Portland has given me a new lease on life, away from danger.

Everything is great until I piss off the wrong people. And they want me dead.

Now this protector needs a protector.

And he happens to be the one man I can't forget. The one I hooked up with a few months ago in Vegas. The one who sees me for who and what I am and still seems to want me. And that’s scarier than any enemy I've ever faced..


The Dreamboat is Book 4 in the Portland Protectors–EHM Security Series. It’s an age gap, running from love, and the protector needs a protector MM romance.


Jacqueleen the Reading Queen's review:

"I thought you hated the Commander. But here you are, naked and oiled up like some kind of Turkish Oil wrestling competitor."

I had to start my review with this quote because it was one of the scenes I was dying to get the background on in Daredevil's book! I mean, it was hilarious from either POV to be honest. Dreamboat aka Brent, definitely likes to have his fun. I think that's a good thing though. Even when his antics are sometimes wild, John never tries to dull his sparkle. For much of the book, John can be found just smiling at his man while Brent says and does whatever he thinks up next! It went a long way to convincing Brent that he wasn't going to be scaring his Commander away that easily.

"I love you, and I need you to get used to hearing that."

A lot of this story revolved around Brent's issues with his family. After his younger brother died as a child, his parents basically checked out of his life. His mother was especially horrid, and I am very happy there was some recognition of that by others by the end of the book. Brent needed to see that he had people in his corner. He was so focused on the loss of his biological family, that he just could not see what a huge chosen family he was a part of. When the light bulb finally clicked, it was quite the emotional moment for Brent AND me as a reader.

John was so sweet to Brent. He definitely owns those Daddy caretaker vibes. No, this isn't a Daddy kink book, just to be clear in case that description threw you off. But John freely admits that taking care of Brent makes him happy, even though Brent has a hard time accepting it. I really did love them together. And the epilogue!! OMG I will miss this crew so much! I'm sad to say goodbye, but the little sneak of the next book and the promise for more cameos make me super excited to see where these authors take us next!!!


Heather's Review:

I'm sad that this book closes out two chapters - the Portland Protectors and the Package Deal world, but what a way to go!

I absolutely adored getting to finally peel back the layers or Dreamboat's world and find out what made him tick... and of course the Commander was definitely a Daddy type protector and just so much fun to read... now there was one big problem... these authors made me cry... not just one tissue cry - ugly cry... so be warned... it's not all sunshine and roses, but the tears were necessary and made the ending so much sweeter!

I can't wait to see where Emerson's spin off takes us - we've been promised Package Deal  World cameos - so stay tuned for my next review!
