Malerie is an orphan who has a wealthy guardian that she cares about so much. Seeing someone you love gunned down and bleeding to death is a horrible thing for anyone to ever witness. Well she did and to make matters worst, it was the day of her birthday. What a cruel hand to be dealt with.
Ace works for a security company. He was supposed to be hired by JT who was Malerie's guardian. He has a bad temper and does not let anyone walk all over him. He came from nothing growing up so it's his mission to become a successful business owner of a security company. Took out loans to pursue what he wants. Then he meets a wealthy man and offers him something he wouldn't be able to resist. Specially after meeting his niece had him thinking twice.
Malerie suffers from PTSD. She was in a building when she was a kid when it collapsed. She was trapped under debris and no one got to her for a full day. They had to dig her out and was the only one alive, two hundred and thirty people found dead.The journey they both took was a chaotic and suspense kind of love story. For someone who suffered with the tragic past who keeps haunting her, Malerie needed someone who could help her, maybe distract her, and maybe, just maybe if at all possible be her future, if she'll ever believe she even has a future. As for Ace, he knew he was done for as soon as he laid his eyes on her the first time. But the question is, will they both be strong enough to fight all the villains who is out to get Malerie? How long does Malerie have to fight to stay alive? Will she push everyone away if she thinks everyone who is around her dies?
What a way to keep someone reading a page turner and have them on the edge of their seats, the entire time. I love Ace and Malerie and I can't wait to read about Collin. Thank Brinda for writing such unique story. Looking forward to reading more of your books.

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 Sweetest Ace Stars ☆☆☆☆☆
Malerie lived a sheltered life with her uncle JT, after losing her mother at a young aged in a very traumatic event that left her scared forever.
Then her 18th birthday came, where she celebrated it with her uncle JT in a restaurant. On that same day she meets the handsome Ace, who was invited by her uncle for a business meeting for a security job that JT was offering.
After Ace left the restaurant, he realized that he forgot his keys so he went back into the restaurant to get it. What he didn’t expect was the finding JT dead on the floor and Malerie in great danger. Not thinking about anything else, but Malerie’s safety he took her and protected her, until the cops came. When Malerie was taken into the ambulance, he went with her to make sure she comes out alright. He realized that not only did he save her, he made sure she was safe all the way to the hospital…without even really knowing who she is. After making sure that Malerie was ok, he left thinking that was the last he would ever see of her. He was wrong, that day was only the beginning of their journey…
When Ace received a call from JT’s assistant Billy, he was offered a security job to watch over Malerie. At first Ace didn’t want anything to do with the job, knowing he was being hired to spy on Malerie and that didn’t sit well with him. But after thinking about all the bills and student loan he had to pay for, he accepted. What he didn’t expect after taking the job was he would really enjoy being around Malerie. The more time they spent together, the more he enjoyed being around her. Knowing that Malerie’s life is always in danger, they went through different adventures together hoping to solve all the mysteries surrounding Malerie’s life. Which also puts them in very close proximity. Everyday that Ace is around Malerie, is another day he had to learn to control himself. Being with her, getting to know her was hard for Ace, because not being able to touch her was killing him. Until that one day when Malerie offered herself to him, asking him not to reject her again. That day she gave all of herself to him, trusting him and hoping he loved her too.
At the same time in the back of Malerie’s head, she won’t let him get hurt because of her. She believes that everyone she loves dies, that it’s all her fault and she will do anything to not let anyone else die because of her again.
Will Malerie run away from Ace to save him from the danger she believes is waiting for her?
Will Ace and Malerie’s love survive all the craziness that is Malerie’s life?
Read and find out.
I enjoyed reading this story from the beginning to end, it hooked me in from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down. Ace was so sweet and protective over Malerie I just loved it and he wasn’t the only one feeling that way. Their feelings were mutual, the cared deeply about each other. Malerie and Ace adventures were full of surprises, twist and suspense, it was really a great read.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and get to know Maleri’s friend Collin.
