Soldiers' Homecoming #2
Un capo da proteggere
Amore e lavoro possono andare d'accordo? Certo. Provare per credere!
Candace Evans, famosa cantante country, aveva bisogno di una guardia del corpo, ma per proteggersi da attacchi esterni e non da se stessa. Logan Murdoch va oltre ogni sua aspettativa: bello, affascinante, sguardo magnetico e un corpo da cui non staccheresti mai lo sguardo. Andare in turnée con lui sarà un vero tormento. Perché Candace sa che non bisogna mai mischiare gli affari con il piacere.
Logan credeva che sarebbe stata una passeggiata: proteggere un personaggio noto non è poi così difficile. Ciò che è veramente arduo è tenere ferme le mani, invece di farle scorrere su quel corpo mozzafiato che pare reagire positivamente al suo solo sguardo.

Very good book. The depth of emotion as both Logan and Candace deal with their pasts made this a very heartwarming story. Logan is back home after his final tour in the Middle East. He's set to retire soon, but in the meantime the army has assigned him and his dog Ranger to be security for American singer Candace. He wasn't real excited about it at first, but it was better than what he had been doing. His first glimpse of Candace changed his attitude completely. First, he couldn't believe how beautiful she was, but mostly he could see that she was terrified about something. His protective instincts kicked in and he wanted to do everything he could to help her.
Candace has been receiving threats and it has been wearing on her emotionally. She loves singing for her fans but everything else has exhausted her. From the first she feels safe with Logan and Ranger. There is something about him that makes her feel better than she has in a long time. But she's also misjudged men before and she's not sure that she can trust her own judgment. When she gets a taste of the demons he is fighting she knows she should keep her distance, but her heart is urging her forward.
I loved Logan. I got a little exposure to him in The Returning Hero, as one of Brett and Sam's friends. It was obvious at that time that he was still coping with his friend's death, but his love for his other friends still showed through. I really enjoyed the way that he saw Candace's need to get away from the fuss for awhile. His sneaking them away so that she could have a normal dinner out was great, and I loved the way that he treated her like a normal woman not a celebrity. Their time at his house was great, but I felt so bad for the way it ended. Logan is fighting against the memories of the loss of his parents and his friend by keeping everything locked away. It comes out in nightmares, but he doesn't admit to anyone that he is having problems. Being with Candace starts to shine some light in the dark corners of his life, but he refuses to believe that anything can come of it. I loved seeing him open himself up to her and share some of those memories that haunt him. But his fears keep him pushing her away.
Candace is very well grounded for a music superstar. She isn't one of those demanding diva types. Her fears because of the threats were really getting to her so feeling safe with Logan was very unusual for her. She still tried to be cautious because she had had some really bad experiences with men. I loved her disbelief that Logan could get them away without having to fight off photographers, and then her happiness when he succeeded. Her ability to relax and enjoy their dinner was just what she needed. She did give in to her fears when she experienced one of his nightmares, but I liked the way that she got back in contact with him right after. I loved seeing her get to know Brett and Jamie and how well they got along with her. It was great to see her take Logan's encouragement to heart and take control of her professional life. When Logan offered her a couple days with him at his home in the Outback she snapped it up. It was great to see them really connecting and the way it gave Candace hope for the future. Those hopes started to fall apart after another episode, and especially when she stood up to Logan and told him what she thought he needed to hear. I hurt for both of them after that. I loved Candace's big moment at the end and what she did to show Logan how much she cared.

I actually gave this book a 4 1/2 stars!!
I really loved reading book #1 The Returning Hero , so I decided to read book #2 By Soraya Lane.
Her Soldier Protector.
I Just was curious to see how Logan's story panned out .
I liked the main charctors chemistry and how they meet. I loved the little pop up that we got of the charactors from the first book .That was a treat for me.
The scene where Logan come home to find her and her cats in his house was hilarious because the Dog went wacko. I actually pictured it in my head.
I wished that there was as much action and Angsty, Anxiety in this book as there was in book #1
Why was there a stalker mentioned and he never followed through?
All the Personal turmoil Logan has about his past makes him push her away .Why does he take her back so fast or for that matter why would she go back to him so quickly??
I'm not bashing the story .
I liked it!
I guess I'm just saying I wanted a longer story for them , it moved to quickly and then it was over .
I would still recommend this book as well as any other book I come across in the future by Soraya Lane.

Good story, if a tad run-of-the-mill. The hero and his military dog are acting as bodyguards for the singer heroine. Pretty standard bodyguard story, but it's a nice one. I enjoyed reading it.
