THE GEEK AND THE GHOST
The Protectors #2
Cambria Hebert
Release Date: July 10
Blurb:
I’m about thirty seconds from a toe tag and my own freezer at the mortuary when he materializes from the shadows and fights like hell to keep me breathing.
I had no idea homeless disasters like me got guardian angels—or that guardian angels punch people and smoke—but suddenly, there he is: a hero dressed all in black who ghosts me so hard I consider calling a medium.
But that would be a waste of money I don’t have.
I thought I’d never see him again, but just as I’m about to eat a bullet, he appears, using his body to protect mine. I might have swooned—okay, fine, I do but only on the inside—if it weren’t for the fact he thinks bleeding is an adequate apology for implying I’m a prostitute and running off with my heart.
Spoiler alert: It’s not.
Now the man with a PhD in vanishing, a tattoo that totally offends me, and eyes with their own force of gravity is suddenly stuck to me like glue and being wildly inconvenient about it.
And he won’t stop calling me a pipgeek. What even is that?
He insists I trust him, but I can’t trust anyone, not even my own body. Unfortunately, when the resident drug lord calls in that favor I foolishly owe, things go from bad to catastrophic with alarming enthusiasm.
On the upside, having a villain with a hero complex for a stalker means staying alive will be easy.
But not getting hurt again is a whole other story.

Meet Cambria Hebert:
Cambria Hebert is a bestselling novelist of more than fifty titles. She went to college for a bachelor’s degree, couldn’t pick a major, and ended up with a degree in cosmetology. So rest assured her characters will always have good hair.
Besides writing, Cambria loves a pumpkin spice latte, staying up late, sleeping in, and watching K drama until her eyes won’t stay open. She considers math human torture and has an irrational fear of chickens (yes, chickens). You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chihuahuas (the real bosses of the house).
Cambria has written in many genres, including new adult, sports romance, male/male romance, sci-fi, thriller, suspense, contemporary romance, and young adult. Many of her titles have been translated into foreign languages and have been the recipients of multiple awards.

It feels almost sacrilegious to admit that I liked Ghost and Rett's story more than Haz and Kieran's. And honestly, I only picked it up to get more of them. But this series is just getting better and better and I'm hoping we are getting a certain uncle's book next. Please!?!
Rett was so so sweet and just everything good in the world. He had been given such a rough ride and he still treated everyone with such compassion and appreciated the smallest things. I loved him instantly but I love that he has a Ghost to shield him from all the bad parts and give him nothing but happiness.
Ghost was everything I could ask for in a book boyfriend except I am on the wrong team for him. But I can appreciate him for Rett. His sense of humour was wicked and I laughed out loud so many times at his inner thoughts as much as his outside comments. Plus the way he loved Rett was beautiful. Oh and the fact he just jumped right in on being a plant dad to the extreme. And throw in a breeding kink on top and I was gone.
The two of them together were just beautiful and sweet and jealous and possessive and protective and hilarious and just everything. The storyline was fun and kept me turning the pages dying to know what was going to happen next, or what insane thing was going to be said. The timeline picks up right at the end of the last book but this could absolutely be read as a standalone. But we did get lots of Haz and Kieran, with them all being besties and that book was also awesome so I highly suggest reading it first.
Now I'm off to check out Prince to see if we got any sneak peeks of Rett. And because I am obviously a fan of this author and I can't wait for the next book.
THE HAZARD AND THE HITMAN

Blurb:
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and being in the hospital with stitches in my head and no way out makes me pretty desperate. So I log in to a dating app, searching for a guy willing to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can bust out of this overpriced nightmare.
But what do I get?
Accused of being a prostitute. Talk about a waste of phone minutes.
With plan A a no-go, I move on to plan B. Escape. Except, on my way to freedom, I’m nearly pummeled by a man wearing all black and with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.
When he pretends to be my boyfriend, I’m shook. And even more shook when I discover this is the rude guy from the app.
Turns out he’s not only rude but bossy, irritable, and he keeps calling me a walking hazard. I go along with the lie anyway, thinking I can ditch him as soon as I’m free.
Except that doesn’t happen.
I end up back at his place, eating soup and trying hard not to catch feelings.
Then my apartment is broken into, and I’m running for my life, confused, injured, and with nowhere else to go. Kieran vows to keep me safe, something he seems more than capable of…
Which is kinda odd for a real estate agent, right?
As the threat to my life intensifies, I start to wonder if I’ll make it to my next birthday and, more importantly, if trusting Kieran is the deadliest hazard of all.

MM romance isn’t something I generally seek out. I don’t dislike it, or actively avoid it, it’s just not my go to. So, normally I only read it if it’s part of a series or if it’s by an author I love. Unless something jumps out and grabs me, which was completely the case with this one. I saw the tropes and was hooked, then realised it was MM and didn’t care.
And when I first picked it up, I couldn't remember exactly why I signed up to review it, I just remembered that I really wanted to read it. So, I dove in with no idea what to expect and I didn't want to put it down. The characters were awesome, the story was so engrossing, and I felt all the feels.
Poor Haz had been through it all and yet he was so upbeat and happy and just rolled with the punches. And the punches just kept right on coming. And then he would say something and I would literally be laughing out loud, taken completely by surprise.
But maybe my sympathy should have been saved for Kieran. He had this perfect, orderly life and was completely blindsided by Haz, who was chaos personified. But God, Kieran was the perfect boyfriend, and he loved Haz so hard it gave me the warm fuzzies, even when he was trying to be scary and intimidating.
The whole book was fun and so easy to get lost in and I am praying that Ghost and Rett get a book soon because Ghost has absolutely got a story I want to hear.
