Giorgio (Vigilance Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 1,561 ratings

I’m a sniper. A trained operator. A bodyguard. A member of the elite private security force known as Vigilance.

When my boss’s son acquires a stalker, of course I’m the one he calls to keep the guy safe. Mr. X’s one rule? Keep my hands to myself.

Not a problem.

At least, not until I meet Lane Porter.

He’s gorgeous. Flamboyant. Fascinating. He makes me want things I can’t have. He stretches my self-control to the limit… and then breaks it.

As the threat to Lane intensifies, we’re forced to hide out in a remote, one-bedroom cabin with danger stalking us from all sides, but suddenly keeping the boss’s son safe isn’t enough.

My new mission is to make Lane mine.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Silvia Violet writes bad boy M/M romance. She can be found haunting coffee shops looking for the darkest, strongest cup of coffee she can find. Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours pounding away at her laptop. Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her hilarious questions like "Do you write children's books?" She loves watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she's actually up to. When not writing, Silvia enjoys baking sinfully delicious treats, exploring new styles of cooking, and reading to her incorrigible offspring.

    Giorgio // Vigilance 1 //Silvia Violet

    🖤🔥 Um, where has this book been all my life?
    Giorgio, our broody, deadly assassin meets Lane, a pretty artist at a club and that attraction is instant. Giorgio wants to dominate Lane as much as Lane wants to be dominated. Flash forward to both of them trying to resist just as Giorgio becomes Lanes forbidden protector. F**k this was hot, y’all. And that spice starts spicing right away. The audio complements the story perfectly. Not only is this hella high heat but the emotional connection builds in a beautiful way and the suspense kept me on my toys. I can’t wait to jump into the rest of the series. 🔥🖤

    Giorgio was restless after his mission for Vigilance. He always got this way after a tough mission. He needed an outlet, so he went to Ignite, a club he enjoyed. He was sitting alone watching people dancing. Then a pretty boy came in alone and sat down not too far from him. The young man looked at him and smiled. Giorgio couldn’t help the smile on his lips when he looked in his face. Then he turned his head. The man was too young and sweet.

    Then he heard the boy say no. A man had hold of his arm and was trying to pull him away. Not on his watch. He grabbed the guy and told him no meant no. He pushed him away from the young man. The man was angry, but he left. The young man was rattled, but he thanked Giorgio for his help. He looked at Giorgio and assessed him. Lane knew he wanted him. After a bit of bantering, Lane invited Giorgio to go home with him. Giorgio was big and scary, but Lane could tell that he was a good man.

    Was this book perfect? Not even close
    But was it entertaining? Yeah

    I had fun reading this book but if you’re looking for something really well written with complex characters and well thought out dialogue, this is not the book for you.

    There’s a lot I didn’t like about this book and if it was a standalone it would have only gotten two stars. But the side characters and series potential is what saved this.

    Our two MMCs come across as stereotypical. They didn’t feel well thought out and the moments of vulnerability were perhaps the only moments when I felt some connection to them. The spice was alright but not very believable sometimes. The drama felt a bit ridiculous sometimes, especially when it came to our “villain.” There were so many moments in the story where something was written as if we should know this information already, or wasn’t written detailed enough to really understand what is going on. Like, are we supposed to know what “X’s” other identity is beyond his work at Vigilance? Because it’s definitely written that way but all I had were more questions.

    But like I said, the series potential is what saves it. I enjoyed the other characters who will have their own stories told and I’m desperately hoping the quality of character and well written dialogue improves.

    Tropes: Forced Proximity, Action/Suspense, Dom/Sub Vibes, Hurt/Comfort
    Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5

    This is your basic bodyguard light D/s with a little bit of punishment added in. The characters were not that original, and the plot was a bit anticlimactic, but the sex scenes were steaming hot, if you like D/s. It wasn’t that heavy, so it’s also good if you just enjoy controlling top & bratty bottom. It showed a relationship that was never nonconsensual or even dub con and that turned into love. The chemistry between the characters was real, another reason I gave the book four stars. I’m looking forward to reading the next one.

    I was first introduced to Sylvia's books with her Fitting In Series but as I explored all the wonderful m/m author's out there I lost touch with her writing. Reading Giorgio has led me back to Sylvia's books again and I'm rediscovering my favorite author's again. Lane and Giorgio were like TNT, ready to ignite with just a spark. The sex was explosive between them from the beginning. Giorgio the big bad bodyguard was no match for bratty, snarky Lance's charm. Every time Giorgio tried to get Lane to obey him it just turned Lane on even more. I loved it. The saying, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, was so true for Giorgio. This book could easily have been made into a prime time movie of the week. Full of action, suspense, heat, kink, romance, kidnapping, hurt/comfort, and a HEA and an epilogue to wrap it all up. This is a spinoff series but can be read without having read the previous one but some of the characters from the other series cross over into this one which just makes me want to read it also. Looking forward to Niall's book next.

    Lane was by far my favorite MC, his sassiness and fight before he submitted to Giorgio was perfect, especially since he knew it drove him nuts. Looking forward to reading the next in the series!

    Ich mag die Bücher von Silvia Violet und dies hier war wirklich wieder mal toll. Giorgio und Lane haben keinen leichten Start, die Umstände sind ein wenig gegen sie. Umso schöner zu lesen wie die beiden doch noch zu ihrem Happy End kommen und Giorgios Kollegen machen auch schon Lust auf die noch folgenden Bücher. Toller Auftakt!
