She’s the biggest movie star in the world.
And she’s in danger.
My specialty is security for the rich and famous, so when legendary actress Willow St. Claire asks for my help protecting her, I can’t say no.
The only problem is that I’m in danger too.
Of losing my heart.
She’s smart and sweet, beautiful and kind, and despite my determination to never fall in love again I know I’m going to make her mine.
But when her past catches up with her, the future I’ve begun to plan is suddenly at risk.
I might lose her.
And everything I never knew I wanted.

REVIEW: DEALBREAKER is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult GAMEBREAKERS erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber. This is former US Marine turned security specialist Hudson Dash , and actress Willow St. Claire’s story line. DEALBREAKER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Hudson and Willow) DEALBREAKER follows in the aftermath of separate attacks, and recovery for our story line couple. Hudson Dash’s most recent assignment ends with a broken hip and sprained ankle. While in the hospital, frustrated with his recovery, Hudson overhears a series of threats against another patient, and quickly discovers former child actress Willow St. Claire, the target of the abuse. Willow St. Claire is a survivor whose life is no longer under her own control, and Hudson has offered her protection from the man who is determined to destroy her life. As Hudson and Willow begin their recovery together, someone else is waiting behind the scenes to finish it all.

The world building follows Hudson and Willow from hospitalization to recovery in the face of smear campaigns and lies directed towards our story line heroine. Willow has not been in control of her own life since her earlier years and a show of her own, and the team at Hudson’s elite security and bodyguard firm for the rich and famous, offers Willow the opportunity to face down the man who has taken control of her life.

The relationship between Hudson and Willow is one of immediate attraction. Hudson knows that Willow is in trouble, and is determined to protect the woman with whom he will quickly fall in love. Willow has had no one to protect her, from an early age. The rampant excess and emotional betrayal in the industry has left Willow a shell of her former self. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, we are reintroduced to Hudson Dash’s close knit group of friends and co-workers: former rock guitarist Royal Ewing and Jade Cantrell, hockey player Banks Christianson and his fiancée Aspen, Atlas; Dash’s sister Briar and her daughter Frankie; and Willow’s ex Dylan Durand. Atlas’ story line is next.

DEALBREAKER is a story of betrayal and vengeance, abuse and survival, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is fast paced, dramatic and entertaining; the romance is spirited and sensitive. ; the characters are sassy, charismatic and animated.
