Her handsome neighbor is everything she could have dreamed up with steamy good looks, intelligence and quite possibly the best kisser on the planet.

I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters. This is a book of protection, compassion, kindness, involvement, understanding, manipulation, and being a good person and also falling in love. I enjoyed CJ and Jill story. I think the author did a wonderful job putting these characters together. They made a pretty great couple and enjoyed working together. The book was very enjoyable. I recommend this book to all romance readers and mystery lovers.
The romance to this one seemed to be a done deal pretty quickly at the beginning, despite how CJ and Jill met. It was nice to see that Jill went with things and didn't fight the attraction, as there were other things they found themselves in the middle of. Part of that seemed convoluted, but the crew managed to do what they needed and get things done.
Love the series and all the characters. People don’t realize there are evil women out in the world and this story shows us. Once again love finds its way into the readers hearts. Keep them coming.
I look so forward to these books. Often I'm searching for them daily instead of waiting for notification of there release. If you like military stories Mary Kennedy's books are for you. Check them out. You never know what's next on the agenda.
I always look forward to reading any book written by Mary Kennedy and the continuation of Voodoo Guardians is always a pleasure to read. Reconnecting with family after serving their country and finding their true partner is always validating to the values of their families values. A must read.
