Well, this story was porny. It has some plot, but there is a lot of scorching sex going on right off the bat. All the werewolf tropes come into play with Rusty scenting and knowing Sam is a latent werewolf at first whiff and Sam, who’s a virgin, going crazy for Rusty on first meeting and giving up his cherry as soon as they're alone for the first time. Other werewolf tropes are biting to turn a wolf, knotting, bonding, MINE! and an omega that craves lots and lots and lots of sex, especially during the full moon, with as many males as his mate, Rusty, will allow. One new idea the author came up with for an omega trait that I found interesting, was that they can go into berserker mode when they feel their pack is threatened by someone. As mentioned in the blurb, the plot revolves on finding out who is stalking Sam and protecting Sam from said stalker, while at the same time navigating Rusty and Sam’s lust.
There really isn’t a get to know you phase between Rusty and Sam. The readers just have to take it for granted that the wolf tropes are in full effect and that’s why the two men are perfect for each other. The author does a good job of conveying that Sam is going to love whatever pain and use by Rusty and other werewolves he’s going to get. An omega is rare and meant to bring the pack together and to calm tensions when they arise, so it sounds like Sam doesn’t have much power, but he does in his own way. Rusty is all alpha werewolf and so is his friend and former Marine leader, Mike, who runs the bodyguard company that employs Rusty.
This book isn't a full eighty-nine pages as listed on my ereader, it has at least ten pages of ads for other books besides the author info. I don't mind author info, but that many ads is annoying. I'd rather have more story and a link on where to find other books. The writing contained a lot of telling and passive writing. What saved it was the porn and the plot, which although not much, was interesting. If the writing was better I would’ve given this story 4 stars, but because the writing needs work, I give The Omega’s Bodyguard, 3 Stars. I'll wait before I continue reading the series, because I need a break from all the porn in this book. It had quite a lot.
