Guarding the Star
Nobody catches Iris Vance.
Not on the field. Not off it.
Star forward for the Seattle Emeralds. A relentless scorer… and a complete mess off the field. Parties, late practices, and a streak of bad decisions that has the whole club on the verge of a breakdown.
Iris has always figured things out on her own. Until someone starts following her.
Photos outside her apartment. Letters. Messages that feel way too personal.
The club has a solution. A bodyguard. With her twenty-four hours a day. Pretending to be her girlfriend.
The cover story is perfect. Living together is a powder keg.
Because pretending to be in a relationship? Easy.
Stopping the pretending? That's the hard part.

Seattle Emeralds
Book two in the Seattle Emeralds series by Clara Ann Simons does not disappoint. I greatly enjoyed the love story of Iris and her bodyguard, Paula. The characters in the Seattle Emeralds series are a joy to read.

Iris has a stalker..
Nice to continue with the team. You can’t help but love these women Clara has done a wonderful job showing the interaction and love they have for each other. This time it was Iris’s turn she’s got a stalker and the team hires a bodyguard who’s posing as her girlfriend. The same Iris from book one a handful isn’t going to make this easy.

worth waiting for
I finished book one about a month ago and this one was worth waiting for. The resolution of the stalker was a bit too simple for me but the characters and relationships were well written. Hope there is a book 3 in this series

I love a bodyguard trope
This was a great follow up to anatomy of us. I am a sucker for a bodyguard who falls for her client. A good easy read.
