To halt a killing spree, bodyguard Triss Everett tightens security at the senior community where she volunteers—and makes herself a target. Her coworker, widower Hunter Knox, won’t let the woman he cares about more than he should become the next victim. But working together to find the murderer in their midst is the most challenging job he’s ever taken on—and the most dangerous.
Squeeeep!!! Another Shield Protection Bodyguard suspense from Sara K. Parker! I do so love the way this author pulls a story together. And Triss and Hunter's romance is another enthralling read!
First -- love that these two have a history. Not only are they Shield colleagues, but that were on the verge of something special months ago. Until Triss pulled back and dropped out of sight. A particularly painful retreat since Hunter has two young children who were negatively affected by Triss's disappearing act. And the author drove me out-of-my-mind-crazy trying to figure out what Triss was hiding -- and why it would make her run in the first place. Nothing like keeping a reader on romantical pins-and-needles for most of the read!
Then there's Hunter! (Still ironing out the kinks in my toes from all that curling!) I have such a weakness for devoted father heroes and Hunter is that -- and so much more. Despite Triss's withdrawal, he's right by her side at the first sign of trouble. All gentle protector determined to break through that wall around her heart. If only the attempts on her life would stop long enough for him to begin his wooing in earnest. Gah!
Clever mystery, intense plot and enough swoonworthy moments to keep a sensitive reader lightheaded. In other words -- sublime satisfaction guaranteed!
My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Security Measures. I really enjoy Sara's books and I'm always glad to get them in the mail. This story is well written, action packed and full of intrigue. Sara's faith is interwoven throughout the story like a fine tapestry. I know you are going to love it.
Triss Everett works for Shield. She has gone to part time to finish her degree. She signed a contract to help at a senior center for room and board. She cut her hours at Shield to just nights on the weekends. It worked well for her as she was getting to close to one of the agents and his children. (She couldn't let him close or he might find out her secret.) Something strange was going on at the home. Four deaths in only three weeks made her suspicious. When she started asking questions someone caused an accident that almost cost her life. She would have died except for the agent she was trying to stay away from.
Shield Operative Hunter Knox is a widower with two children. He has been alone for quite some time. He thought Triss was the answer to his prayer but when they started to get close she pulled away and went back to school. He could respect that. He didn't want his children to be hurt. He goes to the funeral of one of the residence to be there for her but is late. He follows her to make sure she is safe. The back of her car burst in flames. He has only minutes to get her out. He finds her life is in danger. He must keep her safe.
A journey of heartbreak, regret, and loss. Can these two overcome their baggage and learn to trust each other and God? God has a plan for these two; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you two, a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your life and watch Him turn your world around.
I really enjoyed this story. I like the way Sara writes this story. Triss Everett had made choices when she was young that were tough. Because of those choices she decided not to let people close to her. Hunter Knox is a interesting love interest. As the story grows you will see why. He has a family that makes this story interesting. Sara does a excellent job of drawing you into the story about a issue that has been in the news more than once. It has alot of action, mystery and a puzzle to solve. I found it interesting who was the "bad" guy. It will keep you turning the pages to see what's happening with Hunter & Triss. As well as finding out who is behind what is going on at the senior home. I love the interaction between the characters. It brings the story to life. For it had a great blend of action & mystery. I'm looking forward to her next book. J
What a great, fast paced, keeps you on your toes read. If you are looking for a quick read that keeps you entertained then look no farther. This is my first book by this author but I will definitely be looking for more. I loved the characters and the dance they preformed around their feelings. Triss is a strong woman who has a secret that is keeping her from living the life God has in store for her. When everything comes to light you will need a tissue. An all around good read with great elements of suspense, romance, faith, and forgiveness of self.
I really enjoy the twist and turn in this book. Just when you think you figured "who dun it" ..someone else gets arrested and you're wondering "now what" because there's more book to read - then the real culprit is found!
This is the first book that I have read by the author! It was a very interesting and hard to put down book. I loved the suspense, mystery, and romance in the book. I also loved the message of hope and second chances. I highly recommend this book!
