Book Review: Guarded by the Krampus

 


A blind sculptor. A satyr bodyguard. A dangerous plan to expose a criminal empire.


Aceon doesn’t care for holidays—or humans. As a satyr bodyguard, his job is to keep his clients alive and his emotions out of the equation. But Satin, a blind sculptor with a biting wit and a deadly secret, isn’t like any client he’s ever had.

She’s stolen a list that could expose the corrupt empire that destroyed her family, and now assassins are closing in. From Moscow’s glittering Winter Galas to high-stakes casinos in Morocco, Aceon and Satin must outsmart and outfight a relentless enemy while navigating a connection that’s as dangerous as it is undeniable.

Their mission is protect the list, expose the truth, and stay alive long enough to see Christmas.

But the real risk isn’t losing the fight—it’s losing each other.

This is a fun holiday romance that's told ONLY through the monster's POV!


My Review

Love this book. While it is short, I never felt like it was rushed or that I missed anything. If you like your men or monsters to be grumpy, then, you will love Aceon. Yet, underneath his tough exterior is a softie. 

I thought that the fact that Satin is blind was a unique aspect to the story. It made Aceon and her connect on a more intimate level than a physical one. When she would touch Aceon and explore every inch of him that was HOT!

Just because Satin is blind does not mean that she is weak. She is strong and intelligent. She was the dominant one between her and Aceon. While this may be a romance story, it has a good storyline to it as well. Looking for your next quick read, pick up a copy of this book. To quote Aceon..."Monsters are a roar and never a bore"
