Another great start to a new series. If you want a book with OTT alpha males and extremely sassy females, intrigue and a lot of steamy times then you need to read C.M. Steele. Roman is hired by Lindsay’s brother to protect her, after she was attacked in her teenage year by a stalker she has hidden herself away from the world surrounding herself with her brother and her best friend Katherine.

If you want a book with OTT alpha males and extremely sassy females, intrigue and a lot of steamy times then you need to read C.M. Steele. Roman is hired by Lindsay’s brother to protect her, after she was attacked in her teenage year by a stalker she has hidden herself away from the world surrounding herself with her brother and her best friend Katherine. Roman doesn’t normally take on cases such as this but one look at Lindsay and he will protect her with his life, especially when he learns that the man who attacked her has been released early. . He falls fast and hard but knows he needs to keep his distance until there is no threat to her life but after an accidental meeting he knows that he can no longer stay away from her but how will she react when she finds out that he was hired by her brother to protect her and will she forgive him for keeping secrets. Lindsay is fed up of living her life in fear and thinking that her stalker is still locked up is trying to live as normal a life as possible. she has sneaked to a concert with her best friend and sees Roman for the first time she knows they have something special from the moment their eyes meet. Her usual shy demeanour disappears with Roman and she becomes a woman who knows what she wants. Only can she forgive the secrets that he has been keeping from her and have the future that they both deserve or will it be snatched away. Great story with secondary characters that I cannot wait to read in the future especially Katherine and Brent. Swoon worthy epilogues too.

A man who is being hired by a woman's brother to protect her from a stalker (presumably because we get a lot of boogey man talk but no details) decides she's "his"after looking at two pictures of her-one at fourteen. Because I hate myself I gave it another few pages wherein we're told "one look at her photo...and I've already staked my claim on her. I'll deal with the guy [her boyfriend] and get him of of the picture today." Cool cool so homeboy is hiring a stalker to catch a stalker...great.

Good This was a good solid read from C.M. Steele. I really liked both Roman and Lindsay, they were solid and well developed. I liked the plot of the story but wish it was longer and more in depth, the ending was a little rushed. There were a few editing errors and issues, I think her age was messed up in the epilogue but overall it was a very good, quick and sexy read!

This is so boring. The H is obsessed with the h. He stalks her. Then goes to her and tells her that she is his. And she is all fine. No push pull. So even if this book is safe it’s BORING. It’s such a wastage. There’s no plot.

I loved how you can tell how much he cared for her. Lindsay has tried not to let her past haunt her and always fearing for her life. I love how she wasn't shy with Roman and was adorable. The side characters were great as well and I hope their stories get told at some point. The suspense was amazing. From the first page I was pulled in and curious to what was going on and held the entire time. C.M Steele did a fabulous job on this one! Can't wait for next amazing work.

Standing there is book one in the love in the park series. This story is short, fast paced and a nice read. I devoured this book within half an hour and was satisfied throughout. I really liked Roman. He didn’t usually cross boundaries between client relationships. But, the moment he saw the picture of Lindsay, he knew she was his. The chemistry between Roman and Lindsay was instant and clear to see. I really liked them as a couple, they’re cute together.

I need Brent and Katherine’s story. I also want Casey and Denver’s story! When Lindsay’s attacker is released, her brother hires private security for her. Unbeknownst to her that her attacker is a free man, she is annoyed when she sees that she has someone tailing her. Whilst out with her best friend, she meets Roman, who she is instantly attracted to. Its Roman’s job to protect his woman and keep her safe but how will she react when she discovers Roman’s link/secret with her brother.

Well, I have been on a binge as of late with this author's books and having loved what I have read previously, I am sorry to say that I was slightly disappointed in this one. The previous books were also novella length and fast paced so I was expecting something similar with Standing There. But, although fast paced, it also felt too rushed and a bit all over the place.

Roman is still the hero I love - jealous and possessive and would do anything for Lindsay but it bothered me that Lindsay could accept him and his crazy possessiveness so quickly when she had an ugly past with a stalker. I don't know, this story was just not a favourite of mine. Written from a dual pov, it ends with a HEA and can be read as a standalone.

I want more!!! Ok so I want Katherine and Brent’s and Casey and Denver’s stories!!! I loved Roman and Lindsay’s story. So sweet innocent and all aloha male. Was such fun to read and see how Roman talked his way out of the lie he told and for Lindsay to love him enough already to overlook it. 😊
Laterial –
What! Ok, started out fabulous, then...blah The ending was so rushed and uninteresting. I didn’t know what was happening cause it was so fast. And honestly Lindsey got on my nerves. Always jumping to conclusions and I just didn’t care for her attitude. Then the epilogue is screwed up. The timeline doesn’t match up and doesn’t make sense. Ugh!

Standing There I never even thought one of his security team was behind the breach of his property. How would the stalker know where Roman live unless he was following them, that should have been the first clue. I'm glad Lindsay got over the attack and got her happily ever after with Roman.
