A story full of suspense, excitement and action.
When Lela finds information that her boss is involved in criminal activities with a drug cartel, she decides to report it to the FBI. To protect her they want to take her to a safe house but on the way they are attacked by gangsters. The FBI agents are killed but Lela manages to escape.
In Los Angeles, Ripley reads about the event and it brings back memories of another innocent woman he could not save. He decides to go to Houston to be her bodyguard and keep her alive until the Senator trial.
Lela is portrayed as a creative woman who can save herself. She doesn’t wait for the bad guys to catch her, but she manages to stay ahead of them every time.
Rip has his own reasons for protecting her from the gangsters drug cartel. At the risk of his own life, he stands next to Lela. A good-natured man for Lela, a tough nut for his opponents.
An attraction grows between them, but personally they were words. The feeling was not conveyed to me in the words the writer uses.
Nice to read what the senator thinks and how he talks himself clean of his actions.

Our heroine knows something that can get her killed and it is up to our hero to keep that from happening.
This is book four of the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading is required to enjoy this book.
This is a romantic suspense story and it comes out strong right from the start. I love this genre because of the mix of action and romance and this one certainly works on all accounts. The story is well written, easy to read and has a fast paced plot. The characters are well developed and both are tough and smart, which is what I like in my leads. There are some nice twists and turns to the plot which keep things interesting, as well as some nice steamy moments for our couple. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and am definitely looking forward to more in the series.
Highly recommended.

Lela’s first marriage ended up on divorce when she wouldn’t be what her husband wanted.
The action is well paced and you can’t help but root for the good guys. Rip and Lela have chemistry and his strong desire to protect her portray him as sexy. Grave Peril has a few POVs other than Rip and Lela. The Senator, an assassin and the head of the cartel all drive the action. Since there is a lot going on in the book, you can be sure you will be turning the page.
This is the fourth installment of the Stealth Security series. If you’ve been following the series, this is Rip’s story. He is a security analyst and he becomes aware of a woman, Lela, from his hometown who is in danger. Rip feels he is the only one who can save her, and there is no time to waste. As they spend more time together, their attraction for each other begins to grow, despite the danger that is surrounding them. Can Rip keep her safe and protect from those who want to kill her? The story pulled me in right from the start and held my attention till the last page and kept me on the edge of my seat, anxiously turning the pages to find out what happens next. Ms. Trent paints a wonderfully vivid image of all the danger and excitement through her great descriptions and really brings the story and characters to life. A thrilling read, for sure, and I happily recommend!

4.5 stars.
The thing that jumped out at me from the start in this was how strong a character Lela was, she was Rip’s equal and not afraid to show her emotions, her faith, her values and her love. I liked her so much and enjoyed seeing her and Rip get to know each other, trust one another, support each other and fall in love. I liked getting to know Rip better and learning about his past, I enjoyed them together so much that I was sad when I got to the end of the book.

Plenty of action:
This was a thrilling tale with a good balance between the romance and the suspense. I was drawn in from the very beginning and the way the author intentionally left you hanging or interspersed episodes of action made me want to devour the pages all the more quickly.
Lela was independent and feisty yet when she found herself in trouble she had to accept help in the form of a hunky bodyguard. Rip was fiercely protective and although he found himself falling for Lela, past guilt and misguided loyalty got in the way. I was so glad when these two finally found a way to be together.
A bit improbable at times, I nevertheless enjoyed this addition to what has been an exciting series.

This series keeps getting better and better. There’s plenty of action, deception, attempted murder and evading capture. Lela is on the run to stay alive and to testify against a senator she worked for. When Rip sees the news, he volunteers his own time to be her bodyguard. With what happened in his past, he was not going to let another innocent die. So these two are one step ahead of the bad guys constantly. Excellent read. HEA.
