Love in Spades

Terrific Narration!

Four Kings Security specializes everything from armed transport and investigations, to cyber intelligence, and executive protection.

The business is owned by four friends and family, who served together in Special Forces until they lost half their unit. The "Four Kings" are Ward "King" Kingston, Eduardo "Lucky" Morales, Russell "Red" McKinley, and Anston "Ace" Sharpe.

When they are approached by Paxton Connolly to protect his son, Colton, Ace is assigned on twenty-four hour bodyguard duty, which is tricky because Colton is against needing any protection.

This type of work would normally be a piece of cake, but Ace is taken with Colton from the moment they meet. Falling for Colton means compromising not only his security, but it could put Ace's entire business, and the Four Kings reputation, at risk.

Love in Spades has a ton of great banter between the guys, plenty of tension, action, and steam. Throw Greg Tremblay, under his sexier Boudreaux brand, into the mix and you have a combination that will delight your ears.

I loved how Greg brings out the sweeter hurt/comfort elements to the story, his character voices were easy to follow, and he keeps the pace flowing effortlessly. Simply put this is just a treat to listen to!

Told in a dual POV, Love in Spades is low angst, sexy, full of action, has a happy ending with an obvious series setup, and terrific narration.

Amazing start to a new series!

OMG I loved this so much & can't wait for the next book in the series. Ace & Colton were so hot together & I want more. I loved the secondary characters & can't wait for everyone to find their significant others.

Greg Boudreaux made this story so much better. I love how he brings the characters to life. Even knowing who the "players" are, nothing jumped out at me during this second reading that says "hey look at me I'm the bad guy".

Love in Spades, Four Kings Security book 1

Update to my book review after listening to the audio….
I would highly recommend this book in both formats, and I am giving both the book and Narration 5 Solid Stars.

Audio - I thought this book was great when I read it, so automatically purchased the audio format when I saw it was available and I am so glad I did. I really didn’t think it was possible but the Audio narration performed by Greg Boudreaux gives this book so much more dimension than the book already had. It was absolutely fantastic. Greg did a great job with all of the characters, not just the main two Ace and Colton, but all of the other kings, and their family and friends included in this story as well. I found myself laughing out loud along with the characters and their funny antics in this book. And even though I’ve read this book previously I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next with the emotion and tones for the story that the narrator set us up with. OMG, and when Greg switches between English and Spanish *Swoon* He had me melting in my seat, I loved every second of it.

This was such a good introduction to a new series by Charlie. After reading this one, you will just know that the following books in this series will be as good, if not better. Great Characters, and the storyline just flows really well throughout the entire book. You get some romance, some laughter, some action, and a twist at the end you will not see coming. And you get to meet some of the other men who will be showing up in the next few books in this series. I cannot wait to see how this whole series plays out.

Ace, is one part of The Four Kings Security Company. Ace and his friends, who are basically family and brother-in-arms, started the company after their time in the military together. They all have some demons to deal with which I am sure we will learn more about as the series progresses. But they all have great personalities as well, and Ace’s really stands out in this book, he is fun to read and hear about. And his snarky interactions with Colton are hilarious at times.

Colton is about to become the new CEO of his father’s company when the threats start arriving. His father decides to have The Four Kings set up as Colton’s security detail which puts him in direct contact with Ace. He hates that he needs security and decides to make his "bodyguard" as annoyed as possible. And of course being thrown together 24-7 has its own set of challenges especially after they decide they might just like each other more than they want to admit. There's some funny banter between the two during their time together, and some steamy nights they have to keep hidden until the danger passes. And a nice Action scene and twist at the end, that I'm assuming will help lead the way into book two. Overall, this book was nicely done and I look forward to the next one.

Dangerous and scintillating.

I loved Charlie's weaving of suspense and romance. A very good read. I love listening in the car, but I took extra trips just to listen to more. I'm looking forward to more of Cochet's novels.

Charlie Cochet does it again!!! Love In Spades!!

Charlie Cochet does it again, Love In Spades is the first book in her new series Kings Security. From the beginning to the end of Love In Spades I laughed all the way through. The hot attraction between Ace and Colten made my speakers sizzle. The great part of the story was the humor and compatibility between the two men. It made for a great story and the plot twist of who was the actual bad guy made me gasp.
The love and comradeship of the men who run Four Kings Security added to the story line and set it up for the next book in the series Be Still My Heart.
I look forward to listening to the next book.
Charlie Cochet brings all her stories together with humor and adventure and of course the romance between her main characters in this case Ace and Colton.
The new series will be just as much of a hit as her Thirds series.

Hot Start to a New Series!

Colton is getting set to take over for his father at his family's business, but is receiving death threats. His father doesn't want to turn over the company over while these threats are looming, so he brings in Four Kings Security, specifically Ace (the fearless one who likes to take risks), to protect Colton while they track down who is sending these threats. But as Colton and Ace spend more time together, the closer they become. But will Ace be able to keep their growing personal life and the professional life they have separate?
This book is such a great start to a new series! It immediately draws you in with intriguing characters (you can't help but want to see more of what Ace will get up to!), beautiful settings in the Florida coast, and a wonderful story! I also love how the author sets up the other books in the series (introducing Laz & Red, introducing the character Mason as Ace's ex).
Greg Boudreaux did such an amazing job with the narration. His performances are ones that I know will bring the story to life, and that is what he did with this series! My favorite had to be with Ace though, as he was able to bring his youthful exuberance and trouble making side into the voice!
This is a great series to check out, and this is the perfect start to it! A must read!!!

Definitely winning when you read this book!

Colton very much wants to be in charge of his own life. Ace, cocky, yet lovable ex-military is just who Colton needs to watch his back and give him a run for his money. These two are a great couple and their suspense filled story is well written. Between Cochet’s word and Boudreaux’s narration, I would highly recommend this book (& the rest of the series)!

Loved It!

I am a huge Charlie Cochet fan and have been eagerly awaiting her new series, Four Kings Security. Love in Spades is book 1. This series revolves around a band of brothers. They came together while serving in Special Forces. Upon retiring they form a security, protection business.

Ace is one of the four kings. He is hired to protect Colton Connolly, who is about to take over his family business. He has been receiving threats that he has not been taking seriously. His father hires Four Kings Security to protect Colton and find out who is behind these threats.

Colton doesn't take kindly to being "handled". In the beginning he is very uncooperative. As he realizes that Ace is only looking out for his safety he lightens up. He and Ace begin to connect and enjoy each other’s company. Ace tries to keep things professional as he doesn't want to disappoint or let down his brothers. Greg Boudreaux does a wonderful job bringing these guys to life!

I loved watching these two fall in love and deal with the repercussions that brings. Their chemistry is off the charts! I can't wait for the next book in this series!
