Review:
4 1/2 stars! Frontline is an exciting read that is not your average contemporary romance story! It has a thriller aspect that I loved. The author has created some very memorable characters in Sara Peters and Trenton Merrick. Trenton is not your typical sexy billionaire businessman. There is a lot more to this story, and I loved that he throws Sara off guard. There are also great supporting characters here that I would love to read more about. I absolutely felt connected to Sara and Trenton and loved Sara’s POV.
There is plenty of sexual tension to go around in Frontline, but it is also funny and very thrilling. I love being taken by surprise, and this book certainly does that. I also love the first person POV and the very erotic elements of the story. I loved the sexy bodyguards as well. I can’t WAIT for more from Alexandra Richland!
Excerpt from Frontline:
Trenton follows me, leaving Christopher, Sean, and Denim alone inside my apartment.
I stand against the wall with my arms crossed over my chest.
After closing the door, Trenton approaches and presses his palms to the wall on either side of my head. The sound of my pounding heart fills my ears. I drop my arms to my sides and push my head back as far as I can, breathing deeply. His stare looks dark, intense . . . needy.
Goose bumps explode on my skin as he pins me against the wall with his body and brushes his lips to my ear. “First of all, don’t you ever yell at me in front of my men again, do you understand?”
I open my mouth to protest but he hushes me.
“Secondly . . .” He skims his nose across my cheek. “Regarding my behavior at the diner, I was distracted by something going on at work. You deserved better treatment and I apologize.”
He pulls back, his hands still planted against the wall. Heat surges through me as I focus on his mouth.
“I need to kiss you, Sara.” His husky declaration snaps me to attention. “And you’re going to let me, courtship be damned.”
Trenton licks his lips and dips his head, pressing a kiss to my collarbone. I gasp and close my eyes. A wave of warm breath dances across my neck as he moves higher . . . higher . . . every soft kiss tangling me tighter in his web of power, passion, and possession.
