Cat's Review of Balancing Act (Jocks and Geeks Book 2) by Andrew Grey @AndrewGreyBooks @TTCBooksandmore

Freelance computer genius Trent Marcus took a web development job he wishes he hadn’t, and now he’s in a world of hurt. With his safety threatened, he needs someone who can protect him from his client, who responds to “no” with threats and intimidation.

Personal trainer and silver fox Collin Fitzpatrick gave part of his leg for his country, and now his ex is selling his home, so he needs a place to live quickly. He hears from mutual friends that Trent has a room he can use and needs Collin’s help. Neither Trent nor Collin is looking for a relationship, but attraction ignites for Trent, and it’s returned, to Trent’s surprise.

The last thing Collin expects is for his protective instincts to blossom into something much more. Trent’s care and genuineness combine to heal the heart his ex left shattered. As the task of keeping Trent safe becomes more paramount, so does the realization that failing could cost both of them everything.

This is a book 2 but I think you’d be fine not reading in order though you would know some recurring characters if you had read the first book. 

Trent is Marti’s friend and finds himself in trouble. Marti suggests a bodyguard and has him call Jack who has a friend that has done that line of work. Collin is going through a separation and needs a place to live since his ex is selling their place. So the deal with Trent helping keep him safe for a room is a good deal. It doesn’t hurt that Trent is cute. 

I liked the characters as usual and this story has a lot of action. It is fast paced and keeps you on your toes. It has a very fast moving romance and is pretty spicy without being overly explicit. This says book two of two. Buy there is hints of  Marti and Ivan and I do hope we get their book. 

The reason I gave this a four was I did feel there was a few loose strings in the closing of the plot. And there was mention that the apartment Collin’s ex was selling had been Collin’s before they got together, but Collin was stationed overseas. So I didn’t  see why he would have an apartment. So yeah I’m just not picking. The book is really good and I read in one sitting.
