Defending Honor by Lynette EasonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛💛
“That’s just it. You’re fighting battles that aren’t even yours. You’re so busy putting up walls and keeping people out that you’re too tired to fight for the things you want. The things that matter.”
Oh wow, Kelly Underwood delivered a great suspense at the same high standard I have come to know and love from Lynette Eason.
The suspense started right from the start and never ended. There were so many different people who could have been behind everything, and at one point I had a very strong feeling it was a specific character, which turned out to be the right feeling to have. However, with all the different suspects and possibilities, I didn’t have that strong feeling more towards the end – which I prefer – I just hate it when I guess the bad guy and plot twists right from the start.
As like with Lynette Eason’s stories, the romance in this story also took a backseat to the suspense, however, fans who enjoy romance will not feel neglected. It was a while since I’ve read a story where I really really wanted two characters to become a couple like I did with this one. I just loved the characters individually, but even more together as a team.
This book kept me up late, devouring each page to see how it will end.

coffee. She was born in New Hampshire, but don’t ask her about snow, because she’s been a Florida girl since she was twelve. She writes book reviews for her blog Best in Suspense and is an active member of the Central Florida chapter of the American Christian Fiction Writers. She’s a sucker for a good suspense novel, the kind you have to read cover-to-cover until the mystery is solved and the bad guys are in handcuffs. If you’re looking for her, she’s probably on her back patio with a Kindle in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

About the book:
She trusts no one…
Bodyguard Laila Rabbinowitz is all business. Tough and stoic, she was the perfect Mossad agent…until a terrible betrayal led to her worst nightmare. Being a bodyguard with the Elite Guardians allows her to keep her heart safe—she’ll never get involved with a client, never let anyone close enough to betray her again. And she’s certainly not going to trust anyone who doesn’t earn it.
He needs protection…
Billionaire Preston Whittaker walked away from his famous family after a terrible event, but he’s put that behind him—or so he thinks. When his father and brother are killed in a suspicious boating accident, he must take the helm of the family business and carry on the family legacy. But someone doesn’t want him at the helm. They want him dead.
She’ll have to pretend to be his wife to save his life…
Enter the Elite Guardians. Preston is going to need someone by his side 24/7, and the only solution is…a fake marriage. Laila needs to pull off acting as the trophy wife to the country’s most eligible bachelor. With the eyes of the paparazzi on them, she’ll have to convince everyone that she and Preston are in love.
But what will it cost her heart?
Preston’s reputation as a party playboy precedes him, and Laila doesn’t belong in his world filled with parties and money. But is there more to Preston Whittaker that the world doesn’t see? Maybe, in time, he’s someone Laila could learn to trust. Only problem is, the danger is closer than they both know…and time is running out.
Book three of the riveting, high-octane world of the Elite Guardians reboot!
