About The Book
Luca Birch talks to strangers as if he’s known them for years. So why does he struggle to connect with White Knight Security’s latest client? Because the man is gorgeous, and Luca has seen him on stage? Or because Jax Monroe lives to push Luca’s buttons?
Luca may be a tiny bit starstruck, but if he can’t figure out who is attacking Jax and how to stop it, he won’t ever get the chance to unravel Jax’s many layers and find out what’s beneath.
And that’s a failure his heart might not be able to take.
The Reviews
Gloria
This is the third book in the White Knight Security series, after Grant and Rylan”s stories. Four men have retired from the service in England. They are living in a large compound they inherited, melding their home and their business into one building. They were lucky to get great reviews of their work early on, from highly respected people, and now they are a credible name people choose to work with.
Luca’s book was a little different. Luca gets a call from the office that a rock star Jax Monroe is in trouble. Luca is in the south and Jax is hours north. It wouldn’t have been a problem except Luca was just going to get some shut eye. So he packed his gear and headed north. driving for hours.
Luca is thrilled he will meet his idol… the famous Jax Monrow. The house is very hidden and sits on a seaside cliff. Dirty, tired and hungry, Luca rings the bell, and gorgeous Jax opens the door, stunning Luca, who says something really stupid….
Jax not thrilled to meet this insulting man, just hours after surviving almost being run off the road by a big truck. Nevertheless, he graciously lets Luca in. Luca needs a shower, a nap and food – in that order – and is embarrassed at what is coming out of his mouth.
Both men’s histories are very similar. Both have problems – about themselves, and how they are not seen by the people who should care about them, past and present. They are drawn to one other.
Luca shuts down verbally while trying to work out who is stalking Jax, and to protect Jax, he doesn’t give him any information, just tells him what to do. Jax feels unseen.
I enjoyed this book best so far. This newest pairing is a work in progress; but both men are willing to put in the work. I cannot wait to read the next book!
Maryann
Fritz Bronnley watches over his team’s breakfast meeting. How quickly it has grown, with the recent addition of Spencer and Kris. Kris explains that there’s a serious emergency, and Fritz has the perfect candidate for the job.
Connor Graves has been a manager in the music business for twenty years, but now he’s in a panic over Jax Monroe, who is getting threatening notes. The situation has now escalated to something more dangerous. Connor reaches out to Kris, an old colleague of his.
Jax Monroe has just come off a two year tour and is burnt out. He’s now gone home to have some solitude and to recover, as well as to spend some quiet time writing new music. Recovery is taking its own sweet time, and he’s finding it impossible to write. He doesn’t realize how serious things have gotten with his stalker.
Luca Birch is on an excursion at the NightFlight music festival on the Sidmouth coast. He’s known to get caught up listening to his music. When he gets the call from Fritz, he can’t believe he’ll be providing protection for Jax Monroe. He turns into a total fanboy when he meets Jax. Poor Luca he can’t seem to get into professional mode, and the things he says lead to misunderstandings.
As Jax and Luca start to share their personal lives, Jax starts to believe that Luca “sees” him for who he is. But as Jax’s situation becomes more dangerous, Luca slips up. The White Knights are always there for each other, through thick and thin. They can solve the case, but can they mend the issue with Jax and Luca?
I’ve been waiting since the prequel to find out what was bothering Luca when he first moved into Knigtdale Court. The mystery in this book is a strange one, and it takes a while to figure it out.
I love the the “White Knight Security” mini-series, and am looking forward to the next story from Jackie Keswick – it should be very interesting, as the man himself, Fritz, will be in the hot seat!

Hi, I’m Maryann, I started life in New York, moved to New Hampshire and in 1965 uprooted again to Sacramento, California. Once I retired I moved to West Palm Beach, Florida in 2011 and just moved back to Sacramento in March of 2018. My son, his wife and step-daughter flew out to Florida and we road tripped back so they got to see sights they have never seen. New Orleans and the Grand Canyon were the highlights. Now I am back on the west coast again to stay! From a young age Ialways liked to read.
I remember going to the library and reading the “Doctor Dolittle” books by Hugh Lofting. Much later on became a big fan of the classics, Edgar Alan Poe, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker and as time went by Agatha Christie, Ray Bradbury and Stephen Kingand many other authors.
My first M/M shifter book I read was written by Jan Irving the “Uncommon Cowboys” series from 2012. She was the first author I ever contacted and sent an email to letting her know how much I liked this series. Sometime along the way I read “Zero to the Bone”by Jane Seville, I think just about everyone has read this book!
As it stands right now I’m really into mysteries, grit, gore and “triggers” don’t bother me. But if a blurb piques my interest I will read the book.
My kindle collection eclectic and over three thousand books and my Audible collection is slowly growing. I have both the kindle and audible apps on my ipod, ipads, and MAC. So there is never an excuse not to be listening or reading.
I joined Goodreads around 2012 and started posting reviews. One day a wonderful lady, Lisa Horan of The Novel Approach, sent me an email to see if I wanted to join her review group. Joining her site was such an eye opener. I got introduce to so many new authors that write for the LGBTQ genre. Needless to say, it was heart breaking when it ended.
But I found a really great site, QRI and it’s right here in Sacramento. Last year at QSAC I actually got to meet Scott Coatsworth, Amy Lane and Jeff Adams.
