These men never back away from danger—and always fall hard for love in Cover Six Security, an explosive new series from USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa B. KampsDaryl “Zeus” Anderson walks the edge of danger. Strong. Dependable. Always in control–except for that one night in a tropical paradise that still haunts him. When an old friend calls in a favor, Daryl answers the call, never expecting … in a favor, Daryl answers the call, never expecting to come face-to-face with the woman who damn near shattered his restraint–and his heart.
Kelsey Davis has been running for the last three years: for her safety, for her sanity, for more than just her life. The dangerous game she’s been thrust into is nearing an end and she’s forced to turn to the man her father swears will guard her with his life–the same man she’s already run away from once.
The clock is ticking and Kelsey needs to decide if she can trust her new guardian with more than her heart. Because in this game, there’s more at stake than love–and making the wrong decision could cost much more than just their lives.

Another great book to the series. This one brings Daryl and Kelsey’s story. The author once again does a fantastic job building the story, pulling you in with all the drama,suspense and danger as well as the sizzling romance and keeps you reading to the end. It’s well written,moves quickly and smoothly and I loved reading. Highly recommend this book/series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Daryl “Zeus” Anderson has decided to take a chance. Kelsey Davis has made him curious as to what her story is. That in turn will make you curious as to what this author has in store for her characters. I liked that the other members of Daryl’s team get involved but not at any time did they try to outshine the main character’s story, after all they are an important part of the plot.
Our author has written a story that like a flower reveals itself slowly. But as things start to unfold you’ll forget everything else around you as you immerse yourself into the mystery and suspense that she has created. She’s also very good at creating evil characters. It made it very easy to hate him and what he felt he had to do.
There were times where things seemed to move in slow motion. It’s a great way to maybe understand a little of what Kelsey’s going through. Then there’s the point where things seem to move a little faster and that’s when we get to see things from Daryl’s perspective. We also get to see how well this group works as a team when it’s time to get things done.
Usually when a story is getting toward the end things start to wind down but in this case things seemed to ramp up. This was a train ride that I was not planning to get off of until the ride was finished. If you don’t read the author’s Special Acknowledgement you’ll miss her message on how this series started – my reading list just got a little longer. But I also have to keep my eye on my calendar because I don’t want to miss my next adventure with this team.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Another great book in this must-read series with strong, complex characters and a well-crafted story with a good mix of suspense, drama, humor, action, emotion and romance. As soon as I started reading, I was hanging on to the edge of my seat and turning the pages faster than ever to see what was going to happen in this impossible to put down read.
I loved the instant attraction and undeniable chemistry between strong and dependable Daryl Anderson and beautiful badass single mother Kelsey Davis.
Fans of this genre should plan to read The Guardian: DARYL. Ms. Kamps never disappoints and has given us another winner and I can hardly wait for book three in her Cover Six Security Series. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my voluntary and unbiased review. I liked it so much, I purchased a copy for my library.
Kelsey has been on the run for the past 3 years protecting her most prized possession. Kelsey has been successful so far but is running out of places to hide. When her father becomes ill he recommends she seek help from Daryl aka Zeus and his team. She decides to follow him to the Caribbean to watch him and hopefully decide if she can trust him. She did not expect to hook up with him for a steamy one night stand.
Three months down the road Daryl gets a request from his old CO to help a friend and he never expected it would be the mysterious women he had a one night stand with. Will Kelsey be able to let go and trust Daryl help her? Will Daryl be able to set his feelings aside for the girl that has had a hold on him since their passionate night and help her?
I an loving the Overprotective Alpha Male hotness that Lisa B Kamps is giving us in this series. I look forward to more to come.

Love Daryl, the stoic leader of Cover Six Security. Daryl hooks up with a stranger at Mac and TR’s Caribbean wedding but she knows more about Daryl than she lets on. When they meet again it’s very, very different circumstances. This is romantic suspense at its finest! There were so many twists and turns that this book kept me captivated from the beginning. I am enjoying reading about each of the team members and the leading ladies that capture their hearts, I can’t wait for another one to fall under the spell!
Finished in a day; couldn’t put it down!!! I am loving the CSS men. These brooding men thinking they don’t deserve happiness because of things that might have happened in their pasts. Well they are so wrong!! First Mac and now Daryl. This book is like the first, keeps you on your toes from beginning to end. I just had to know what was going to happen. And sweet, sweet Kelsey. Being on the run and scared for three years can take a toll on a person. But she held on and did the best she could do. Then these two lost souls find one another and are able to help one another in more ways than one. This is the second book in the series, but I feel you could read as a stand a lone. However, reading book one would give you more background as to the people in this book. You will not be disappointed either way!
Daryl is another hit for Lisa B. Kamps and her Cover Six Security Series!
I loved Macs stories, but she totally took this one up a notch and nailed it! She put together a great combination of strong characters, steamy moments and intrigue to keep me thoroughly engaged from beginning to the end!
The strength of character, the strength of love and the strength of protection are traits that both Daryl and Kelsey possess, trust however is harder to come by. Kelsey will do anything to keep her daughter safe but asking for help is the hardest thing for her to do. Daryl owes his old Army CO and when he is called to pay back that debt he never knew how it would change his life!
Another hit for Lisa B. Kamps! The strong women and men Lisa creates are a one click buy for me. I love the action, the suspense, and the hard men who fall for their strong women.
Daryl “Zeus” Anderson, a former army ranger, gets contacted from his former CO. A favor called in, one he assumes might be an easy job, Daryl has no idea it would involve helping his daughter. A woman he’s already met. A woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about for the past three months. A woman whom he had a one night stand with and had no idea was related to his former commanding officer. It was one night filled with passion and no last names. Tangled up in something Daryl doesn’t quite understand because his CO didn’t explain and Kelsey doesn’t trust him enough to give him details, Daryl jumps in because he promised to help her and he knows if the roles were reversed his CO would have done the same. Setting aside whatever feelings he has for her, because Kelsey got under his skin three months ago and never left, Daryl agrees to complete his mission and then finally let her go. Without trust he knows they will never be more no matter how much he would like it to be more.
Kelsey Davis has been on the run for over three years. She hasn’t been able to trust or rely on anyone in a very long time. The one night she spent with Daryl was foolish, but one she indulged in feeling free for the first time in almost three years. Now three months after that blissful night when he shows up unexpectedly at her deserted hideaway saying he’s there to help she still isn’t sure who to trust. There is no way he could have found her cabin without help, but his appearance has her rattled. She never expected to see him again, even though she knows he is someone who could help end her nightmare, it’s why she originally went to see him months ago. Not to sleep with him, but seek his help. Knowing whom to trust has never been her strong suit, but perhaps it’s time to take a leap of faith. If there wasn’t so much at steak she would go all in, but there is so much at risk and there is more than just herself to consider.
Even more so with The Guardian, I got to know more about the other team members and now I’m extra curious to read the other team members stories. I seriously cannot wait to read more about this world. I love that each book is a standalone, there is no continuous villain, or overall arc that I need to keep up with, I can jump in at any time, not that I plan to, but I’m already looking forward to the next one, but if you are just reading about the Cover Six Security team for the first time you won’t have trouble jumping in.
The other thing I love about Lisa’s writing is the strong women she writes. They are emotionally and mentally tough. Although I’m sure some would argue that they would have to be to deal with the hard men they are getting entangled with, but more than that they are strong in their own ways. For instance, TR in Mac’s book was a journalist, which is a tough job, but when she was captured she put up a tough fight and wasn’t giving in. She was full of grit and spunk (yes, she had her own anxiety issues, but she was also full of badassery). Kelsey also was extremely tough. This woman was on the run for three years living on next to nothing. She walked away from her family, her job, her entire life to escape a monster. That is an emotional toughness not many of us can begin to fathom. So, yes, I love the characters that Lisa writes and I’m really looking forward to reading more of them in the future.
This is one of the hardest reviews to write. NOT because it was a bad book, BUT because it was soooooooo good. And all the reasons I thought it was so good and want to point out, would be spoilers, and I don’t want to spoil anything about this story. I loved how our couple meets! I understand the lack of trust on Kelsy’s part, but also the need to want to trust someone. Kelsey is an amazing character and gives so much to this story. LOVE the Cover Six Security team and of course Daryl’s character to this story. Not wanting to spoil anything, but this story is lacking (not non-existent) one thing, which is another thing that I loved about this story! 7 Stars for this great story line! Thank you Author Lisa B Kamps!!! Can’t wait for more of Cover Six Security!
Daryl aka Zeus doesn’t think he will ever see the mysterious woman he hooked up with months ago but after a request for help from his old CO who helped him through one of the darkest times in his life he comes face to face with her again. Just like Daryl, Kelsey is strong willed and determined however she also has a hard time asking for help, but time is running out and people are being hurt and killed because of a crazed man so she needs to make decisions. There is plenty of action, suspense, steamy scenes, as well as times you just want to smack both Daryl and Kelsey’s heads together in this book as we see things unfold and hope they can see they have something together as well get rid of the man trying to harm her.
Finally we get to read about the mysterious leader of Cover Six Daryl (Zeus) and what makes him tick.
All I can tell you is when I was contacted with the opportunity to read an ARC I jumped at it. I mean after reading the first book in the series Covered by a Kiss and getting totally hooked there wasn’t any hesitation. I started it at 10 pm last night and finished at 2 pm. I couldn’t put the story down.
The parts were so well written with plenty of action and drama.
Kelsey was an outstanding character also – not a shrinking violet.
A great story from Lisa and I can’t wait to read the next one.
