Diablo by Cora Rose
3.75

Coming off of a more serious and emotional series, I needed something a little more lighthearted and fun as a little break. So of course I turned to Cora Rose. Diablo is the latest release in her Unexpected series. It's fun, a little silly, and a good time all around. 

Diablo's family is part of the mafia/mob in his city. He does something (vague details given - it involves computers and pictures?) to get back at someone who hurt/blackmailed his twin brother. Because of this he has become a target, and has to go into hiding and have a 24/7 bodyguard. 

Diablo is a slightly insane, needy little computer hacker who is not happy about having big sexy ex-Marine Skylar as his bodyguard. Skylar would rather be doing anything else, but is intrigued/exasperated by Diablo's antics - it's complicated. The more Skylar figures Diablo's crazy tendencies out, the more Diablo opens up to him and stops fighting. While a little crazy, they definitely are an evenly matched couple. Diablo is always going to be a little off the walls, but Skylar understands him and knows how to deal with all Diablo throws at him. 

Though a simple plot and not a lot of drama, it's an entertaining read. Diablo's inner monologue is amusing, and he and Skylar get up to all sorts of steamy fun times. I would recommend for a short, spicy, relaxing read!
