Kathryn Shay has hooked me on her new series featuring Secret Service agents.
Really liked the story. It’s a great story with many angles. I like the whole family angle. With the Marino boys and Whitney, as well as knowing connections to the president, Isabelle’s brother. I liked them together. They just clicked. And he got her kids. Liked how steadfast he was in her protection. Watching the president ferret out info from nick was funny and cute.
Book is very easy to read. There is a lot of intrigue and great family camaraderie.
I just felt there was a loose end – we never got to the bottom of how Trey got his money and how he took Isabelle’s moving away.
Enjoy all her books. Kathryn does a great job with her writing. As a retired fire captain her fire books are action packed with romance
An action story, with a bit of mystery, a lot of denied attraction and a thriller that will leave you guessing until the end – a perfect mix. I could not put this one down.
liked it…..Kathryn Shay writes a great book
Wow
Another knock out series. These books put into prospective what anyone in protective services put their families through. Each character in this books draws you in and makes you think.
Great book; had you on the edge of your seat!
great
Good read
Her books are always written well and are very entertaining.
Loved the story. Kept me engaged the entire book.
great story
I liked this one. Good story about the Secret Service protecting the president’s sister. A lot of information about the Secret Service , but also has romance and intrigue. Believable characters, good mystery, some parts predictable, but other parts not so much. I was surprised by part of the resolution.
However, do not read two books in the same series back to back. Then you will not be surprised. The books are good, don’t get me wrong, but take some time between reading them.
Enjoyed this story, just purchased the rest of the set
I love a good romance and they had that going for them
Loved it.
