This was a quick and easy read for me, and an interesting look inside the executive protection profession - not always for the faint-hearted, for sure!
It's fascinating to learn more about bodyguards and their challenges as opposed to only seeing them in fictional fantasy accounts.
I did receive an ARC in exchange for an honest ( and gladly provided) review.

Tom has a superb conversational style of writing. He takes you back to the moment. You feel as if you are in the moment with him. He is very accomplished, which he deservedly points out on many of the pages. Perhaps it was the focus on his accomplishments and how impressed others are by him that created a bit of a disconnect for me with this book. I expected more emphasis on experiences rather than on the self (Tom). Having said that, this book is well worth picking up. It’s like having a real-life conversation with that interesting person you cross paths with whose life is full of insight, motivation. and accomplishments that most people only daydream about.
