Corrupted Royals #4
Max Levin & Camille DuBois
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Michelle Heard has done it again! When this book started, it felt like a normal bodyguard story. But then the author exceeded all my expectations and made the story spectacular and full of emotions, very thrilling.
I loved both characters! Camille is a socialite, but not the entitled, pampered type. She wants to be a photographer but her father keeps her very sheltered and protected and doesn’t want her to work. So, she’s resigned to this empty and shallow life. When her life is threatened due to his political decisions, her father hires the world’s #1 assassin to protect her.
Initially, Max was like a Robocop, no feelings, just an icicle of a person. When they assisted to one of her functions, he acted over the top, Camille had a hissy fit and demanded that he act like a human, not a robot. Since he feels guilt about her, he tried to comply with her requests, tried to befriend her, and the rest is, as they say, history.
“Our paths crossed once. Christ, it’s almost been ten years since I last saw her face. She was seventeen and just starting her life. And I almost took it from her.”
Camille is not your regular socialite, spoiled and petulant. Rather, she is quiet, kind, generous, and loves photography. Her obsession are her snacks and soda drinks!
Likewise, Max is not your regular assassin. He has a heart and he has morals. He’ll never shoot innocents and will never target women. He had a sister who had leukemia and her heart’s desire was to marry Max’s friend Nikolai Vetrov. His friend didn’t hesitate and made his sister happy in her last days. For this reason, when Nikolai asked for his help protecting Camilla, Max didn’t hesitate and took the job. And slowly and inexorably fell in love with this lovely woman!
I cracked up when Max takes Camille to a safe house, she’s taking a bath and sees a spider. Her screech brings Max running, and she demands action from her assassin:
“I get the heebie-jeebies, doing a little dance as I keep pointing at the spider. “Kill it. Kill it. Kill it.”
And Max the assassin, took the spider in his hands and took it outside. I didn’t miss the important contrast in his actions.
I had a laugh when Max and Nikolai talk on the phone and complain about their women, Nikolai about Abigail, Max about Camille. I loved reading about Max’s insecurities in holding Camille’s love. When she hugs him and expresses her love, he feels bathed in love and feels like he’s home. The story has hard moments, has tragedy, and very hard times for both. Through it all, there’s a devotion and a sense of home that can only happen in the presence of the other.
Michelle Heard has hit it out of the park again with this story! Emotional, with funny parts, great banter, a great love story and exciting times with an assassin doing his job. I love her mafia stories!
