“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?

Carlos is assigned to protect pop star Chandra. Samantha is Chandra”s assistant and also her cousin. Someone wants to harm Chandra. Can Carlos protect her while protecting his heart with Samantha? Great story and characters
Sam was so wonderful and caring for her mom and Chandra. Carlos was so strong and I loved what he wanted to do with his ranch. I am glad Sam and Carlos were together. I hope to find out what happens with Chandra. I do think that my favorite part was what Carlos did for Sam at the end.

Carlos did this last job as a favor for Even. He just wants to settle down on his ranch. Not babysit a spoiled actress and her cousin who was her PA and was probably sponging off her. This is what he thought Sam the PA was doing. Until he met her and they had instant chemistry. He has to keep his eye on keeping Chandra safe but they keep straying to Sam. This was a fast paced quick read.
Carlos has a great big heart trying to set up the therapy ranch. Sam is as smart as she is beautiful. Carlos doesn’t trust her at first, but is still attracted to her. They seem like such a great match, and love their happy ending.

The story of Sam and Carlos. This is a stand-alone but you get nice little surprises of characters you have read before. I loved this story, loved the chemistry between Carlos and Sam. Loved how Ms Riley made you feel every emotion with Carlos when he realized he fell in love with Sam. Things are not always what they seem. This book is full of drama, intrigue and suspense. It also makes you smile. Very good read and I would definitely recommend this book. Cannot wait for the next book.
I received this book as an advanced reading copy and I would like to give my honest opinion of what I read.
I really enjoyed this book, it had a very good story plot, and the suspense was not anything that could that would called any triggers that some books could do. I loved the characters and the fact that the men along with the hero of the story Carlos also appeared in the previous book. This book is a stand alone book so if you didn’t read the first book about Evan and Angel you were given some information about the couple. This is an excellent book and I loved reading it. I hope that one is written about Lee Smith the FBI agent that appeared in this book. I think it would be equally as good and hope there is one.
Evan is the lawyer of Chandra Farley a successful dancer and singer since she was ten years old and was not twenty three. Recently Chandra had been receiving threats and it raised an alarm for Evan this is why he had appeared at the ranch of Carlos DeMott.
Carlos had gotten out of the PI business the year before and bought the ranch. He was in the process of rebuilding the run down ranch and changing it into a ranch for therapy horses, and to train therapy dogs for people that couldn’t afford them through insurance had a chance to get the service affordably. He did this because of his sister. Years before she had been attached by three men. They were never caught but the after effect on Marisol was devastating. She had withdrawn into herself so much that she didn’t even talk any more. Their family insurance didn’t cover the cost of therapy horses and they had a difficult time finding a place anywhere close to Huston that they could afford. He wanted to provide a place for folks like he and his mom that fell between the cracks to get the help they needed for their love ones. Carlos didn’t want to work for Chandra she had been a pain at ten years old he just knew that she would be a spoiled brat to work with now. But he knew the money would help with completing the work on the ranch so the would be able to open on time the coming spring.
Samantha or Sam as she goes by is Chandra’s now PA. She took Simon’s place when Christine Sam’s mother diagnosis of onset early dementia got worse and Sam had to come home to care for her. She did have nurses now because of Chandra’s help hiring and paying her more money than necessary to take care of her mother. In their youth Chandra and Christine were very close up until it became hard for Chandra to visit and see how deteriorated she had become. Christine had called her, her little princess; that was because Sam was always the tomboy, she was into sports more that she was into the girlie things that Chandra was into and Christine loved it. Sam was not jealous of their relationship at all as a matter of fact it allowed her to be herself and she loved seeing her mom and Chandra happy. Sam had finished her BA in Physiology and was getting the rest of her degree while at home with her mom on line.
Evan had planned a meeting one afternoon at Chandra’s house while Chandra was cooking the meal for everyone there was a banging on the door. It very insistent and grew louder and louder. Sam thought that it was Evan and quickly opened the door to let him have it but instead there stood a strange man and he began to berate her for not checking to she who was at the door for opening that he could have been the killer. After she was able to catch her breath when finding out that Evan had sent him she had decided that he was a jerk and a bully even though he was very handsome.
Carlos and Evan didn’t have much to go on as to who was sending these threats. At first Carlos even suspected Chandra’s cousin Sam, but soon he was discovering other thing, things that made him see that not just Chandra was the one that was in trouble.
Carlos doesn’t want to be a PI anymore. He wants to focus on his therapy ranch. So when his friend Evan wants him to help a young pop star Chandra who is receiving threatening emails, he’s not thrilled, but he takes the job as the money will help with the ranch. He meets Chandra’s cousin Sam and he instantly feels something there. As they work to find who is making the threats, Carlos and Sam get closer and sparks fly! A great story of finding love with a little suspense and a whole lot of lovable characters! Such an amazing story and worth reading!

This is a really good book it’s very well written it’s a spin-off from “kissing the council”, but it can be ride alone. you don’t have to read that book to read this one
Carlo, who was hired to protect Chandra, a famous young singer, can’t keep his thoughts from straying toward Samantha, Chandra’s cousin and personal assistant. Hired to find out and neutralize someone who was sending threatening emails, Carlo at first suspected Sam, but eventually eliminated her as a suspect after getting to know her better. In the course of protecting Chandra, he falls for the lovely cousin.
I am glad that the story’s plot was well-developed, easy to follow. Besides, Jillian Riley always makes me smile with her stories, and this one was no different. She manages to make her readers, me, for that matter, to wish that I could meet someone like her alpha protectors, and boy, if ever I meet someone like Carlo, I definitely wouldn’t give him up!
So, when do we get to read about Lee Smith?
This book was an enjoyable heart-warming read. The main characters were wonderful and vivid.
The banter back and forth between them and their misconceived ideas of each other were adorable.
It had a mystery and suspense with some twists and turns and a surprise ending with a happy ever after.

I enjoyed this story. The characters are really likable. The plot flowed smoothly and held my interest. I did figure it out but not sure if it was easy or I got lucky. All in all it is an uncomplicated enjoyable book. It isn’t filled with so much angst that you want to hit them on the head, but enough keep you wondering.

Def recommend if you like a suspenseful romance…

Advance Review Copy
Chandry is receiving threats through email and Carlos, a PI is asked as a favor to protect her as his final job for Evan. Carlos was against this until it was brought up that she was doing a movie and Evan thought Carlos’ farm would be the perfect location and give Carlos some free advertising for his therapy project.
Sam is Chandry’s cousin, who is working as her PA. Carlos just assumed that she was just spounging off of her for money. He discovers differently when she is not keen on moving on location. Especially when another threat shows up at their hotel that no one else but her, Chandra and the Ex PA Samuel knew their location.
Not only was either Chandra or Sam in danger from someone, but Carlos is finding out what is is to be in Love with someone for the first time.
This was very well written!t You don’t really figure out who the person sending the threats is until close to the end. You get little clues and suspect the person, but aren’t really sure until towards the end.

This book was an enjoyable heartwarming book. The characters were wonderful and vivid. Carlos misjudged Sam and she had misjudged Carlos. The banter back and forth between them and their misconceived ideas of each other were adorable. It had a mystery that had some twists and turns and a surprise ending. I received this book as an ARC and I am voluntarily reviewing this book.
I loved this book! Carlos and Sam are so good together that you can’t help but keep reading straight through until you find out how they get to their HEA. There was enough going on in this story to keep you engaged; danger, intrigue, a crazy stalker, a spoiled pop star and much more. I really liked how Carlos had a preconceived idea of what Sam was like and that she constantly proved him wrong on so many levels that he couldn’t help but fall for her. Good read!

Another great story by Jillian Riley. This was a fast paced story and at times very entertaining, Carlos a rancher who is roped in to protect a spoiled actress and her cousin who works for her, from an unwanted stalker by taking them to his ranch . When Carlos meets Sam the chemistry and fireworks between them is instantaneous. Now he is faced with hiding his feelings for Sam while trying to find out who is after Chandra as well as clearing Sam’s name. a As things get heated between them will Sam be able to leave and walk away? This was a fun read and I highly recommend this book.
