About the authors
New York Times Bestselling author Jocelynn Drake loves a good story, whether she is reading it or writing one of her own. Over the years, her stories have allowed her to explore space, talk to dragons, dodge bullets with assassins, hang with vampires, and fall in love again and again.
This former Kentucky girl has moved up, down, and across the U.S. with her husband. Recently, they’ve settled near the Rockies.
When she is not hammering away at her keyboard or curled up with a book, she can be found walking her dog Ace, or playing video games. She loves Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore, travel, tattoos, explosions, and fast cars.
She is the author of the urban fantasy series: The Dark Days series and the Asylum Tales. She has recently completed a gay romantic suspense series called The Exit Strategy about two assassins falling in love and trying to create a life together, as well as a MM paranormal romance series featuring a family of vampires.
She has co-authored with Rinda Elliot the following series: Unbreakable Bonds, Ward Security, Pineapple Grove, and the Weavers Circle. She has also co-authored with AJ Sherwood the Scales 'N Spells dragon series. She can be found at JocelynnDrake.com.
I write MM, MF, and MMF romances. Love is love! Some are paranormal, contemporary, and space opera. While all of my books are romantic and sexy, most lean toward erotic. But three of these books-Foretold, Forecast, and Foresworn are MF Young Adult novels. A complete trilogy that I'm rereleasing after getting my rights back from Harlequin Teen. Dweller on the Threshold is sexy, but not erotic. I love unusual stories and credit growing up in a family of curious life-lovers who moved all over the country. Books and movies full of fantasy, science fiction and romance kept us amused, especially in some of the stranger places. For years, I tried to separate my darker side with my humorous and romantic one. I published short fiction, but things really started happening when I gave in and mixed it up. When not lost in fiction, I love making wine, collecting music, gaming and spending time with my husband and two children.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2019This is a novella about a really sweet waiter needing help when his older brother who terrorized him in childhood returns from prison trying to get to steal from his employer. When he tries to quit and run to get his brother away from his workplace family, his boss hires Wade Security to help with the psycho brother. Of course romance and action happen and we get our HEA. It's a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Ward Security Reading-Snack inbetween
Wade is happy working at Rialto and having found a caring new family in Ian and his friends. But his new life is painfully disturbed by his older brother, who seeks him out the second he is out of jail. Wade fights against the evil schemes his brother tries to pull him in again, and ends up with Jackson as his personal bodyguard. Jackson never expected to meet someone so sweet and appealing like Wade right on his very first working day at Ward Security. Can he keep Wade safe and at the same time win his heart?
I guess readers starting the Ward Security series now will find this Novella like the perfect appetizer to Dom&Abe's story. For me it felt a bit rushed and way too short, despite Wade and Jackson being such an adorable couple. Pretty sure I had already been spoilt with „Sadistic Sherlock“ and the same good and estranged, criminal brother theme from last fall, which now has become #5 in the series. „Jackson“, published this spring is #4, which got me a bit confused. Still another good add-on to the series with hot, sweet and action scenes making it an enjoyable little reading snack!

4.0 out of 5 stars SUPER QUICK INSTA LOVE
Cute guy falls for bodyguard who falls for cute guy in double quick time. Novella length story that I actually enjoyed despite it being somewhat predictable. If you enjoyed the other Ward Security books you will enjoy this one too.
