Time Served is a spinoff of Elite Protection Services. The first book follows Elite Protection Services tech expert, Nicholas Webster and his childhood protector, Cyrus Whittaker.

Webster was six when his mum married Cyrus' dad. Cyrus spent a whole year looking after him - until he was framed for a crime he didn't commit. Ever since, Webster has been looking for a way to prove his innocence and get him out of prison. Only, instead of finding a way out, he manages to find a way in.

I really enjoyed this. Onley James has a way of writing that draws you into the story and keeps you flipping through pages at a rapid clip. In this case I'm not entirely sure why because they spend most of their time in a prison cell and very little happens to keep the plot moving - but I was riveted.

I liked Webster in the Elite Protection Services and I enjoyed him in this. His relationship with Cyrus was sweet and I loved the connection they have. I would've liked to see more investigating or more of their relationship outside of a cell but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It is what it is, a steamy romantic read with light touch of danger and suspense, with a dash of mystery. 4 stars. ( )
