“One of them gets 24 Hour Protection and the other gets heated nights at the ranch” Carlos:I certainly didn’t want to waste my time babysitting a wannabe actress. Especially, when in order to do my job well I would need to run everything by her stuck-up, pain in the ass cousin. But there was something about her cousin that struck a nerve with me.She seemed so smart and extremely sexy.What was the … seemed so smart and extremely sexy.
What was the price I was going to pay for taking on the role of Falls Ranch Protector…
Sam
I hated working for my cousin. I loved her sure, but I had an education, more than one degree, and at almost thirty I should be using them for something more.
But when family needs you, your wants and dreams take the back burner.
I didn’t mean to want my sexy protector, but every time he came near me something inside me flared.
He was too much. Too handsome, too intelligent, too strong, and too stubborn.
I would go to Falls Ranch. I would play the part Chandra needed me to play, but when this job was over, that’s when I would leave it all behind. Start my real career, and my real life.
The only problem? Would I be able to walk away with my heart intact?

This story features Carlos and Samantha. This is a short romance with a little bit of mystery and suspense. I would have like a little more insight from the guilty party after all was said and done. The story line was great and so were the characters. The romance was perfect for the length of the book and the plot. Carlos was amazing and I loved the epilogue!

Okay, first I want to apologize to the author because it took me so long to get my review. Booksprout and I are still having issues, but I finally got it and stayed up all night to read it. I was pleasantly surprised not only were the characters likeable, but the suspense portion kept me on my toes. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from this author.
Really enjoyed this book. The H was strong and protective; the h was also very strong and protective of her cousin and mother. Liked that the H and h didn’t do a lot of “I like you, but I can’t” back and forth. It was more realistic for adults. I also really enjoyed the cousin, who had much more depth than most secondary characters. A few minor quibbles, such as – Why was her mother’s illness such a deep, dark secret? And treating “death threats” as meaningless seemed irresponsible imho. Otherwise a very good story and quite enjoyable.

This story originally peaked my interest because of the premise and idea. Then, I started reading it and got so caught up in the story I didn’t want to put it down. I flew through it so fast that I wanted to read it for a second time, and really enjoy the story. The characters were interesting, well-written, and the story flowed so well.

I loved this book! Jillian has created a wondrous world filled with vibrant settings, colorful characters, drama, betrayal and unexpected love. Oh, and sex. And food. Gourmet food. And horses. And hot men in form hugging jeans. Do I have you salivating yet?
This is the story of Carlos and Samantha. Carlos is talked into guarding Sam’s cousin Chandra, a rock star and wannabe actress. Someone wants her dead. But when sparks fly between Carlos and Sam, things really heat up. Things are not as they seem. Everyone is suspect. And, the target may be Sam, not Chandra. Watch Carlos go in to protective Alpha mode to protect the woman he is coming to love.
You will fall for the characters. Their story will grab you and pull you into their world. You will care about them. At times the pace will leave you breathless. In short – you are going to fall in love with this book!
This book is for mature readers only. There is drama, danger, and scares, but no overt violence. There is sex and language. There is also HEA.

An intriguing well written suspenseful romance. This stiryline has a well developed plot and flows smoothly. I was on the edge of my seat with clues and suspects of the stalker while flowing through through the drama, suspense and danger. The characters were interesting with instant attraction and hot chemistry and a strong sense of family. Can they make it through with perceptions that are challenged and dangers are faced

I really enjoyed the characters, Carlos and Samantha are both wonderful people, and their devotion to family and what is really important in life is commendable. The story is beautifully written with tonnes of emotion and a plot that captivated me from start to finish. There is a nice element of suspense along with a beautifully emotional romance.

I thoroughly enjoyed this bodyguard romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. He was a PI who had bought a ranch to start a therapy program for kids. He was asked by his friend to do one last job as a bodyguard for a rockstar. There is a lot of intrigue, but the ending was great.

Carlos DeMott walked the difficult horse quietly around the paddock. He had hoped this one would make a gentle, therapy horse. But right now, it was barely broken in and seemed to dislike people. Carlos didn’t really mind. He loved working with the horses, and he planned to quit his private investigator job so he could follow his dream. The problem was his boss, Evan Bennett, had an office nearby and always knew where to find him on the ranch.
The men went inside the ranch house and Carlos asked about the job Evan needed handled. The client was celebrity Chandra Farley, well known to Carlos as a nightmare to deal with, and she needed a bodyguard with investigative experience. This would help fund the renovations on Carlos’ therapy ranch, and when Evan suggested filming her movie there, it would give him added PR to boost their Spring opening of the therapy center. More money to hire therapists and other needed staff sounded like a good thing. Chandra’s cousin, Samantha Farley, was her PA, and Carlos made some not-so-nice assumptions about the cousin mooching off her famous relative instead of getting a real job of her own. But he told Evan to go ahead and set up a meeting for them to discuss it.
This was a fun story to read. The story line flowed smoothly and held the reader’s interest, especially when a stalker is brought into the plot and increases the suspense. And as Carlos gets to know Samantha better, the two of them realize they have feelings for each other. Can they act on this, with a stalker threatening danger and Carlos responsible for their safety? Grab your copy and see how all of this resolves and who the stalker is!
A good addition to the series
Carlos wants nothing more than to give up his PI business and turn his ranch into a therapy ranch. When his boss approaches him with one last job to protect a pop star that’s been getting threatening notes, he reluctantly accepts. One last job and then he can focus on the ranch, right?
Samantha’s sweet pop star cousin is being threatened but they don’t take it too seriously. When Carlos shows up he points out the obvious, they need to be far more careful. Can he convince them of the seriousness of the situation while protecting them and his heart?
This is a unique romance between PA Sam and PI Carlos. Their strong connection is undeniable as they navigate the bumpy road to their forever after. These characters are likable, their connection strong, and the unconventional plot makes for a delightful read. It is a heartfelt ride of drama, danger, and ultimately love. The build up of the sexual tension between the leads and the predictable premise to help force them into each other’s orbit is extremely entertaining. There is also an interesting cast of supporting characters that makes the story engaging. It is a decent read all around with heart, heat and a happy ending.

I liked the subtle inuendo in this story, never judge a book by it’s cover. The culprit was obvious early on, but it was still an engrossing read.
