Not many authors could use so many different ideas about their couple in the one book and still end up with a story that I enjoyed. There was the older/younger man coupling, the bodyguard and his charge, plus the military was thrown in as well. With all that, this book could of been a jumbled up mess. Thankfully Walls of Troy turned out to be a story that caught my attention early on, and never stopped. I enjoyed Iksander and Troy. I looked forward to finding out just what the danger was to Troy. The most important part, for the romantic in me was how things were going to work out for these men, and I was pleased with every outcome. I especially enjoyed the epilogue. It left me with a huge smile, and that is what I want from a book. I don't know where to start. This book was so nearly great it somehow just missed the mark. It had all the elements - bodyguard, navy, older man/younger man, drama - and yet it just didn't do it for me.I got irritated with the whole 'I'm your bodyguard we shouldn't' conversation which was still going strong at nearly 70% finished. Yes Iskander you are the bodyguard, you shouldn't. So stop being the bodyguard and then you could. Also the son wouldn't tell his dad what was going on for the most flimsy reason. When you are berating the MCs instead of falling into the story then you know you are in trouble.It started promisingly but unfortunately it didn't deliver. I can't help thinking that just a little more time spent on a re-read, some editing and a small bit of re-writing would have made this book really good.
