Description from the publisher:

Wild. Untamed. Blazing with need. She can't avoid being burned.

Werewolf Damon Trahan lives by one rule, protect the pack with his life. Content to be left alone, he avoids complications until he is ordered to rescue a general's daughter from a rival Wolfpack . . . or die trying. Little does he know she will tempt him to break every rule he's ever known, because the opposing pack isn't the only enemy in Ava's life. Her own father has been keeping deadly secrets from Ava, and now it's up to Damon to convince her of the truth before it's too late.

Ava Renfroe is tired of Alpha males running her life. Growing up the daughter of a strict military general made her crave independence more than air. First she's kidnapped, and the danger ignites a rage in her body she's never felt before. Adding insult to injury, her commanding and arrogant new bodyguard is exactly the kind of man she doesn't want. But try telling that to her out of control libido. Being on the run with a dark and powerful stranger will push Ava so far she might never recover. But this wild, needy thing stirring to life inside her?

With the entire Wolfpack hunting them, there is nothing Damon can do now but keep her close . . . and let their passions burn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
HER WEREWOLF BODYGUARD is the first book in the Rise of the Arkansas Werewolves series.  These will need to be read in the order of release.

Both Ava and Damon have been orphaned.  The difference is that he was raised in an orphanage and didn’t know what he was until the day he first shifted.  She knows the names of her parents, but there are have been secrets kept from her as well.  The first one:  she is a werewolf who has never shifted.

I loved the way that the secrets were slowly brought out for each of them.  I loved Ava’s absolute strength;  she is no wilting flower – EVER!  

I wanted to smack Damon.  He had a bit of the “woe is me” complex for being so low in the hierarchy of the wolves.  He has alpha tendencies, but he has to curb them due to his position in the pack.  This is repeated, verbally or mentally, ad nauseum.  Thank God that ends some point!

Overall, I enjoyed the story and I look forward to reading more of the series.  There are so many Guardians who deserve to find their mates as well, especially Barrett.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
