I have read all the books in this series so far, and as with the others, I love this one as well. Reading about alpha men who are loyal, honorable, passionate gives me hope for the future. Ethan and Savannah’s story grabs hold and keeps you hooked until the very last word.
This is an intense romance between ex-Army Ranger Ethan and his friend’s daughter, Savannah. The plot is nothing new or surprising but the author’s writing was able to catch my attention from the beginning and I grew attached to these characters and their journey with every page. From the moment they met, Ethan and Savannah have an obvious attraction and sizzling chemistry that they try to deny at first. It is a thrilling read with enough drama, intrigue, danger, excitement, sweetness, some twists, great supporting characters, love, and a happy ending.

Hard Guardian by Jillian Riley
I gave this book 5 star’s……I loved everything about this story from beginning to end. It was a quick little romance read, that I didn’t want to put it down once I got started!
Ethan and Savannah were perfect for each other.
Ethan started an investigation firm called Ex-Force Investigations, he is their leader. Savannah and her father own a ranch in Florida, which is in financially trouble, and on top of it all her dad disappeared. No one has seen him for over a week, so because Ethan is good friends with her dad, she decided to ask him for help – since what his company does is finding missing people. Her hope is that he didn’t get himself into something stupid with the wrong type of people in the gambling business.
She has known Ethan for years, and secretly has had a crush on him since she was 19, but he had married someone else, so all her hope’s and dreams were shut down back then. She moved on, and concentrate on building the ranch/farm with her dad.
Could this be her chance at finally having her dreams come true with Ethan, plus save the ranch that she loves so much, and find her missing father? But someone doesn’t want them to save their beloved ranch they will try anything to get it for themselves.
This book is about finding your true love, second chances, It does have an element of mystery, their chemistry was great, the sex was mild on the hot scale, Good friends that jumped into help when needed, the epilogue was spot on, HEA ! I was really happy with the epilogue, looks like nowadays we find less, and less authors doing them and to me they are extremely important at the end of a book……kudos to you Jillian 😉
Savannah pretends to be her father an emails Ethan for help. Her father has disappeared and strange things keep happening around the ranch. Ethan comes to see what Butch needs but is surprised that it was Savannah emailing him instead. Savannah has always had feelings for Ethan but over the years she hoped they diminished but that’s not the case. Sparks fly between them as Ethan demands answers. The more digging Ethan does the worse things are looking. Will he be able to find Butch and save the ranch? Will he finally claim Savannah for his own?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

An exciting romantic suspense to add to your library.
Savannah, a rancher, calls on Ethan, former Army Ranger and her father’s friend, for help when her father goes missing. As the story progresses the mystery deepens, trouble comes from multiple fronts and dangerous situations keep appearing. Jillian Riley has created a wonderful romantic suspense repertoire and continues to blow me away with each book. I am wondering if she has something equally exhilarating planned for Lee or Butch. Hard Guardian is an exciting romantic suspense to add to your library.
I received a free copy of the book from the author via Booksprout. I had the opportunity to review or not.
I love the way this books starts the action from the very beginning and doesn’t slow at all. I started it and couldn’t put it down. I liked that both Ethan and Savannah have those unrequited feelings from way back. I was disappointed in Sav withholding information that Ethan needed. Then again, if he hadn’t been short with her in the beginning she may have been more forthcoming. Then after saving Butch’s tailend he gets all puffed up over Ethan and Sav in a relationship? Who better for her than someone they both know and trust? I requested an advanced reader copy and am under no obligation to leave this review.
A good addition to the series
When PI Ethan gets a cryptic email from his former CO he feels he has to go and investigate. What he finds when he gets there is his CO’s beautiful daughter. Seems her dad has been missing and she didn’t know what to do so she contacted Ethan despite the flame she’s had for him since she was nineteen.
What Ethan finds is a ranch about to be foreclosed and his missing friend seemingly entangled in some nasty business. Can he unravel everything while the woman he’s held a torch for is at arm’s length?
Another great installment from Jillian Riley,,,,,,
Ethan Dennis gets a message from his mentor Butch Davis,,,, He says he needs help and that’s it,,, Ethan owns and runs Ex-Force Investigations with Jaxson Acker and Blake Snyder and Ethan is on his way to help Butch in Florida on “The Eagle’s Nest” with his daughter Savannah,,,,

Wonderful friends to lovers. Savannah and Ethan are a great couple that deals with the issues handed to them, for them to only realize that they love each other and have almost since they met.
I thoroughly enjoyed this short story with great characters, romance and intrigue. He was out of the military and headed a private investigation firm with two bothered military guys. When he go a brief meal from his former CO who had been like a father to him, he went to Florida to find out what the problem was, since he couldn’t contact him by cell. When he got there, he found out disturbing news from the daughter, who he had fantasized about for years. There were lots of complications, but the ending was great.

I thought it was a good story. She was a strong character.
An amazing well written second chance romance both secretly crushing 10 years prior. Its full of suspense, intrigue, drama, danger, twists and turns, betrayal, love, passion, and great hot steamy scenes as Ethan comes to help an old friend. The characters were strong and the writing flowed smoothly having me addicted from page one thru unexpected series of events to an amazing HEA.

Review by Christine Stokes
What an absolute page turner and edge of your seat romantic suspense!!!
The story line was great and I love the well developed characters.
Butch Davis reached out to Ethan Dennis via email for help. Being his mentor, Ethan dropped everything and flew
out to Florida. Upon his arrival, he learned that the email came from Savannah, Butch’s daughter who immediately
informed him of the situation. Ethan hate dishonesty, some thing he went through with his ex wife and he has a hard
time trusting anyone. Both Savannah and Ethan’s attraction for each other were undeniable but because she is
Butch’s daughter, Ethan never act on it.
Time is of the essence to find out the extent of Butch’s financial problem stemming from his gambling debt.
Tyson Crist is the next door neighbor who is a constant threat to Savannah since her mortgage payment is due and
she could lose the ranch.
Will Ethan and his team be able find Butch and any other pertinent info to find him?
Ethan will to his utmost to protect Savannah but can he protect his heart?
I highly recommend this book to my family and friends.
