Unspoken (Light & Shadow Book 3) by N. N. Britt


Two unlikely guys thrown together. Sasha doesn't want a babysitter yet Logan is hired to do just that.


From the Unspoken blurb:

Loyalties and rules are put to the ultimate test when a disgraced ex-cop and a younger sibling of a ruthless crime leader cross the line a bodyguard and his protectee aren't allowed to cross.

Logan McKenna has fallen from grace after one split-second decision ended his police career. He's now working as a security detail for the criminal elite of Sin City. Mounting hospital bills force Logan to reluctantly accept a job from a dangerous man many don't want to get involved with–Vlad Solovey.

But Logan's new assignment proves more trouble than it's worth—he's hired to protect Solovey's younger brother, the impossible Alexander "Sasha" Solovey, who appears intent on getting Logan fired.

Sasha grew up sheltered from the family business in London, but an assassination attempt summons him to Vegas where he's spending all his time being under his brother's watchful eye. Determined to piss off Vlad, Sasha takes every opportunity to shake off his new bodyguard. But Logan is as immovable as the mountain, refusing to bend to Sasha's antics.

When the two men collide in a clash of wills, an undeniable spark ignites between them. Accepting it would destroy Logan's code, jeopardizing his position and possibly life. With enemies circling the Solovey empire, keeping Sasha safe should become Logan's sole focus. But the heart wants what it wants.

And the moment danger strikes, Logan has to make an impossible choice: walk away and save himself, or risk it all to protect the man steadily slipping past his defenses?

Reed Kaye's review:

This is the third in the series but can be read as a standalone.

Sasha is happy and ready to graduate when something happens to change his whole life. Instead of being a carefree college guy he all of a sudden is living with his older brother and feeling like a prisoner.

Logan is an ex-cop who has his hands full trying to pay his mother’s medical bills. Every day he is faced with another dilemma of how to cover all the bills and how to accept that his mom is not getting better. Then he is offered a job protecting one of the city’s mafia boss’s brother. He is torn but he needs the money.

When Logan first meets Sasha he finds himself dealing with what he thinks is a spoiled, rich brat. Sasha is doing his best to get Logan to quit and goes out of his way to frustrate him as much as possible.

I love the interaction between Sasha and Logan and later Sasha’s brother Vlad. The story kept moving making it hard to put down. I think the author did an excellent job of describing the background of the characters and the ending made the story complete. I’m hoping to read Vlad’s story.
