GRR Review Craze (Pierce Securities Book 1) by Anne Conley

Craze is a pretty formulaic "bodyguard falls for the protectee" story that relied on the kidnapping trope for the darkest hour, for a reason that made no sense.

Krista saw her boss doing the unthinkable in his office, and she ran, into the hottie she flirted with at lunch. Ryan is tasked to hunting down a certain woman for a powerful man, and the company can use the cash. But when he found the target is the beautiful woman at lunch, and the reason given seems all wrong, what should he do? And can he convince her he is her best chance at survival... or to her doom? 

WARNING: This will have a spoiler.

This sort of book typically uses a kidnapping where the MMC did a royal screwup and lost the FMC, and had to rally to get her back, and this book is no exception. Unfortunately, this book did not have the MMC screwup, but rather, had the FMC did a "too stupid to live" decision that resulted in her capture. Then the bad guys, instead of eliminating her right away, decided to use her as the subject of a snuff film, thus giving the good guys a chance to track her down and save her. Hah. The attraction between FMC and MMC is also... forced, as if Stockholm syndrome took hold, that MMC was obsessed with FMC before he got her, and he was useless on the job later.
