My rating: 💛💛💛💛💛
If you love romantic suspense, and still did not pick up a Lynette Eason, you are surely missing out. Lynette always delivers page-turning, keeping-me-guessing-till-the-end suspense with a clean romantic story which is secondary to the suspense but still sweet and realistic. And then she adds interesting, lovable characters.
Haley's back story was heartbreaking. I enjoyed Haley as character. I think she and Maddy was my favourite of the 4, but they each have a place in my heart. I would actually love seeing this series on tv. I enjoyed the relationship development between Steven and Haley. I loved the interaction between the 4 ladies, bringing in humour to give the reader some breathing time between all the suspense!
Oh and the suspense! Lynette always keeps me guessing and catches me by surprise when she reveals the bad guy...
There was also a clear message about the power of freedom in forgiveness and subsequent bitterness of not forgiving.
This was a great ending to a great series. Recommended to fans of Terri Blackstock, Irene Hannon and Dani Pettrey.
And the series continues with the Elite Guardian collection, starting with:

About the book:
Elite Guardians bodyguard Haley Callaghan may be in South Carolina, but when a photo leads investigators in West Ireland to open a 25-year-old cold case, her life is suddenly in danger. Haley knows how to take care of herself; after all, she's made a career out of taking care of others. But after an uncomfortably close call, Detective Steven Rothwell takes it upon himself to stay with her - and the young client she has taken under her wing. A protector at heart, he's not about to let Haley fight this battle alone.
In a sweeping plot that takes them into long-buried memories - and the depths of the heart - Haley and Steven will have to solve the mystery of Haley's past while dodging bullets, bombs, and bad guys who just won't quit.
