Sexy ex-CIA agent Frank Ireland thinks he knows Stephanie Knight, his best friend since childhood, better than anyone. When he accepts a position with Sentinels—a covert protection firm that caters to an exclusive clientele—he discovers the woman he thought was a mild-mannered librarian is actually a kick-ass covert bodyguard.
Working alongside Stephanie, Frank is eager to discover what other secrets lurk beneath his captivating confidante’s prim and proper exterior. But as they work together to track his ex-CIA partner’s killer, can he keep Stephanie safe while pursuing his dangerous vendetta?
Stephanie has longed for Frank to see her as more than a friend for years. Just when she’s given up hope of it ever happening, a perilous situation brings her and Frank together as partners and as lovers.
As the danger they face threatens both their budding relationship and their lives, will Frank let her into his life and into his heart? Or will the secrets they’re keeping from each other tear them apart?

His Captivating Confidante (Secret Sentinels) by Lisa Weaver is a book from the Kindle Scout list. I usual get good books when I win books so I checked out books from the Kindle list. I wanted to try to expand my reading to what I don't read- romance. I have been reading a few lately and have not had good luck with them. This one is okay. I like the book length. A cute plot, developed characters but it just didn't hold my interest. It just may be me because it just isn't my genre.

What happens when a sexy former agent of the CIA, Frank Ireland, discovers that Stephanie, one of his best friends he’s known since their childhood, isn’t the innocent, sweet, amiable librarian everyone believes her to be? Instead her mundane occupation is merely a cover for her being a secretive hard-nosed bodyguard.
It’s kismet when he accepts a job working for a stealthy protection company known for its high-class customer base, and winds up working alongside Stephanie to track down the murderer of a former CIA partner when he discovers this secret she’s kept under wraps. Naturally this brings out the proverbial curiosity killed the cat scenario making him determined to undercover any other secrets hiding beneath the facade she so skillfully exhibits.
Frank knows the personal vengeance he’s decided to undertake is fraught with danger and has to wonder whether he’s able to safeguard her at the same time.
Given their on-going, growing relationship since childhood, it’s easy to imagine how she desires to have him as a lover not merely a friend. However, the dangers of his mission begins to not only interfere with their now blossoming relationship of romance, it’s also a danger to their very existence as well.
Things be told, Frank has also kept secrets from Stephanie, secrets which make him wonder if he can ever allow his heart to accept her as an importance part of his life?
As we know from our own experiences, secrets can become very destructive, and as one reads this story, one has to wonder whether this will be the case here?
In reading this book, my mind couldn’t resist listening to The Beatles’ “Do You Want to Know a Secret?” If you don’t know/remember the song here at the lyrics:
You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care
Listen do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell woh woh woh closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you oo
I've known the secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two
Listen do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell woh woh woh closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you oo
For having given me and her readers, an intriguing romance story, laden with tension; I’ve given this endeavor by Ms. Weaver 5 STARS.

His Captivating Confidante
This book was an okay romance but a big tease. There were times I thought it was really good and times I thought it would never end. I would recommend it for a sleepy day.

Good
Good storyline and quite an idea for a bodyguard company in the protection business to get that close. I like the stand alone storylines in the series that still have a connecting thread running through them.

It took effort to get through this book. I clearly errord on joining this mid-series, so I felt as if I was doing a lot of catching up as the author dumped past history into the story. It felt disjointed. It also felt waaay too fantastical, like bad 80's television about secret agents played by sexy B-level actors. This genre has been done better and needs more capable hands to create a smooth rhythm, plausible character dynamics and intrigue.
