Rayleigh and Blake
Catching up on Ms. Cooper’s books, this is another fast, action packed romance with heat, suspense and drama that you can’t put down.
Part of series, but I have no trouble reading it as a stand alone, out of order as it has everything needed all the way to an HEA for two very tough and dedicated Guardian Elites.
Is it finally their time?
Blake and Ryleigh have a history and lots of baggage and whilst they are wary about rekindling their romance the chemistry they share makes it impossible to resist. I love that Blake is all in and embraces their love, but Ry is more hesitant and guards her heart. She can lie to herself but when the danger ramps up she knows she is only deceiving herself!
I read this on Kindle Unlimited, an enjoyable start to the series with a great cross over.
Ryleigh and Blake meet again after she disappeared without a goodbye to Blake when they were serving overseas. She was recruited by the CIA but Blake didn’t know any of this. Now she’s hired at the DC office of the Guardian elite and surprises Blake who is a manager there. They are teamed up to protect a billionaire couple on their trip. Surprises, heat and danger. HEA. Received this book free for an honest review.
Double Jeopardy is the first of the Guardian Elite Series. The reader is introduced to the members of an elite private security team, in which Ryleigh is their first female agent to be hired. Sparks immediately fly when she learns that her former lover, Blake also works there. They have a history from their time serving in Afghanistan. Of course, her first assignment is to pose as a loving couple with Blake while watching over billionaire couple Duke and Ella Wainwright. What could go wrong? Tropical paradise, shared bungalow, romantic scenery…….I think you know what might happen here. Add to that, the underlying threat to the Wainwrights, and you’ve got yourself a real page turner. I liked the pace of the book. I also liked how the Wainwrights relationship mended. However, I felt that Blake and Ryleigh’s relationship left unanswered questions, namely will she tell Blake the full story as to why she left the first time. Maybe, we will find the answer in the next book.

I love books that throw out hints that I recognize when the villain is unmasked – and this book does just that. When Ryleigh joins Guardian, she’s thrown together with Blake – whom she left without warning years before. Now they’re not only working for the same company, but they’ve been assigned to the same protection detail, and the sparks start even before they leave. The couple they’re protecting are equally engaging, and seemingly irrelevant details finally become desperately important to save their lives. I loved the heat in this book, but it was the suspense element that really kept me reading past my bedtime.
Double Jeopardy is a fast-paced second chance romance by KaLyn Cooper. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Cooper has given readers a book that is well-written and loaded with outstanding characters. Blake and Ryleigh were both stationed Afghanistan until Ryleigh disappeared when she went into the CIA. Now they’re working together for Guardian Elite. Blake and Ryleigh’s story is loaded with drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading Double Jeopardy and look forward to my next book by KaLyn Cooper. Double Jeopardy is book 1 of the Guardian Elite Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I read a print copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Blake and Ryleigh were both fantastic characters and are working as bodyguards together. Ryleigh is not a weak woman but has lots of specialized training. Blake was a strong character and I really enjoyed him. Lots of action and great chemistry as lots of threats threaten the couple they are protecting. Secondary characters were also wonderful. Great story! Loved it!
