A perfectly entertaining and witty instalment to this great series; possibly my favourite one yet. A really great read – I don’t want this series to ever end!!
Preston Harmon hired Abbie Hastings to protect his soon to be finance except his girlfriend breaks up with him right after his proposal upon receiving another scary message from his stalker. Preston’s stalker has been terrorizing his girlfriends for the past 3 years. He just wants to be able to settle down with a girl and start a family. Preston decides that Abbie is the perfect person to play his fake fiancé so they can catch the stalker. The threats escalate until Abbie almost pays with her life. They become friends and their hearts start to be involved. Can they walk away from each other in the end? I knew who the stalker was when the reader first introduced this person in the novel and from the gifts and type of threats what gender the stalker was. The suspense for me was in what else this person would do and when they would get caught. Nice clean romantic comedy suspense with plenty of funny and romantic moments. Abbie’s brothers are great and they deserve their own romances.
Abbie is a great bodyguard to Preston but will she be an even better fake fiancee? I love mysteries (always try to solve it) and sweet romances – this one is both!!! Will Abbie and Preston’s pretend engagement become real? A pageturner with a few twists and turns.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Preston Harmon was a successful businessman, a billionaire, in fact. But, he also had a stalker, or his girlfriends did. Every time he seemed to get close to a woman, the stalker would strike and he would be jilted again. Abbie Hasting has been hired to protect his latest girlfriend/fiance, Yvette, until the stalker strikes and freaks Yvette out sending her running away.
Finally, Preston asked Abbie she would be his fake fiance in order to catch the stalker. She agreed but the more time she spent with Preston, she realized he wasn’t the totally self-absorbed unfeeling man he was portrayed in the media. While he always the gentleman with her, she wanted the possibility of more, but she was hired to play a part, nothing more. They were from two different worlds that could never mix. She would never fit in. Preston also saw Abbie for the strong, beautiful woman that she was and began to see what he might have been missing all along. The goal was to catch the stalker before some real serious harm was done. Would they be able to catch the person in time or would someone be hurt in the process? Would the damage be to their person or to their hearts?
I felt the characters were well developed. I loved the secondary characters, in the book, as well. They added a real personal side to the main characters. The book was a clean romance with no sex or foul language but was a sweet romantic story. I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.
This was an action-packed book that had me from the start and I couldn’t put it down until the end. Abbie is a strong independent woman making her way in a man’s world. I loved the strength of her character and the loyalty she had to family and friends. Preston was a self-absorbed man that muddled his way through several meaningless relationships. Most of his relationships ended with a stalker scaring the woman away. Preston developed a liking to Abbie when she didn’t fall at his feet when they met. I loved the chemistry between the two throughout the book. The book had several tense moments, yet also had some humor. I felt like this book was well written. I recommend to those that like fake relationships that turn into something more and a little mystery.
Another great addition to this series. I love that Abbie got her own story even though she wasn’t part of the original art society. Abbie is wonderful and so full of spunk. I loved getting to know her better. It’s amazing what she is willing to go through for her job and for love. Preston is also a good guy, although perhaps a little sheltered. I really enjoyed this story and the suspense that went along with the romance.
