We finally get to meet the voice on the end of the phone, the one who organises the Protectors and the logistics of the operations.
Nate went to jail and was offered a deal by the lawyers who work for the Protectors Agency. He got out early and is one of their best field agents. He flirts with Claudia, safe in the knowledge that they’ll never meet. But when he is given a protect order for Claudia he is determined to make sure his assignment goes without a hitch.
However, he did not count on Claudia having CIA honed skills and a dogged need to find and protect her sister. She is stubborn and wants to keep her family problems private. But she’ll soon realise that the Agency see her as family and they’ll do whatever they can to assist.
Fast-paced, witty and hot as hell! Claudia is no wilting female, she’s perfectly capable of taking down her enemy single handed if she has too, she has a real problem with accepting help! Nate is very self-conscious of being an ex-jailbird, even though he was not a bad guy. He wants Claudia to see him for who he is now and is sure that his past will could her impression of him.
Great storyline and the entire town of characters were engaging and so protective of their hometown genius!
I loved Nathan and Claudia’s story. The sexy voice he didn’t know from business conversations from The Guardian Agency and Nathan is one of their agents and they have never met. But he’s told to act as her backup when she goes looking for her sister after she get a call from her that she is in trouble. Action, heat, danger and HEA.
Claudia needs to help her sister and thinks she can do it on her own. Lucky for her she has Nathan from the guardian agency to help her. The connection between them brings a touch of romance to this suspenseful story. I was hooked from the beginning and eagerly turned page after page enjoying this story. I received an ARC of this and volunteered to review it.
It was great seeing Claudia get her story with Nate. We’ve heard her voice helping everyone. When her sister calls and is in trouble again Nate is sent to help her. We get to see the life of the mysterious Claudia. and what an adventure it was full of action, bullets flying fast pace. And we saw some of her and Nates past.
When Claudia Mitchell received a distressing call from her sister Diana, Claudia knows she can’t ask her employer, the Guardian Agency, for help. But she can’t do it alone, so she turns to the Brotherhood Protectors, so it won’t be problematic. Her email to her boss saying she had taken a few days off didn’t have the expected results. They sent Nathan Jennings to “Protect” Claudia. It seems that Diana’s latest career move as an investigative reporter has landed her in even more trouble than Claudia had initially thought.
Nathan was excited to meet Claudia in person, but I was ecstatic! Ever since we met her in the previous Guardian Agency novels, I found her so intriguing, I was dying to know everything about her. It’s no wonder Nathan had half fallen in love with her over the phone; she’s an expert tech assistant, she has a wicked sense of humour; and I’m so pleased that Regan Black did her justice! Claudia likes him too, and I feel it was an ideal way to pave the way for the romance. All the ingredients were there apart from not knowing what the other looked like, the Guardian Agency being extremely secretive, even where their own personnel is concerned. There is so much chemistry between Claudia and Nate, and I loved that they did their job efficiently in spite of it.
NATHAN is absolutely riveting; it is a true romantic suspense, and I loved that the reader doesn’t know what is going on any more than the protagonists do. Few authors can make surveillance as interesting as Regan Black does in this book. It’s all in the brilliant dialogues, as Claudia and Nate discuss the case; the author knows how to use every moment to the plot’s advantage. I loved that Nathan really wanted to know her, not just get in her pants. The romantic interludes are perfectly timed, and provide small breaks in the almost non-stop action. Regan Black he has another winner on her hands with NATHAN!
Claudia receives a phone call from her sister and then goes to find her but before she leaves sends a text to her friend Hank who then send for help to the Guardian Agency for protection and Nathan gets that order. The story drew me in and I could not put it down till I finished reading it. I recommend this book!!!!!

If you’ve been reading the series, then you know Claudia’s role in the Guardian Agency. Well, this is her story, and it’s an edge of your seat, fast-paced action tale. After a frantic call from her sister, Claudia’s returned to her hometown to find out what’s going on and, if necessary, save her sister, even if it’s only from herself. Nathan, one of the Protectors Claudia’s job supports, has been sent to provide Claudia back-up and protection, if needed. From the start of their association, Claudia and Nathan felt a special attraction, but when they meet face to face their feelings become reality. While Claudia’s determined to find out what happened to her sister and what’s really going on underneath her peaceful hometown, Nathan’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep her safe. As they get to know each other, their feelings grow deeper, but when they discover the possibility of an eco-terrorist’s plot, it may be more than just their hearts on the line.
This is an exciting and captivating read, filled with plenty of action, drama, and slow building steamy passion. The characters are well-drawn and engaging, and the storyline draws you in from the start, keeping you interested and involved until the very end. It’s a very enjoyable and entertaining romantic suspense. I highly recommend this very appealing book and series!
Guardian Agency:Nathan
Regan Black
In the agency no one knows what Claudia looks like. She is just a voice on the other end of the phone backing up the agents with information needed to be successful on their missions.
When she goes missing to find her sister, the boss sends Nathan to help her even though she fights it.
Stubborn to the ninth degree Claudia fights help until she realizes she can’t do it by herself.
Strong determined characters who come together in an intense mission of survival keep you turning the pages well into the wee hours of the morning praying for a happy ending.
When coming to her old hometown to help her always-in-the-middle-of-drama younger sister turns out to be much more than the IT-support genius Claudia Mitchell bargained for, she will need all the help she can get to survive, no matter how much Claudia wanted to just fix the latest problem with her sister by herself.
Not only are the painful childhood memories overtaxing her mind, but the attraction to the smooth-talking Nathan Jennings is stronger than she was prepared for. All Claudia wants is to fix the problem and never return but life rarely delivers what we want.
For a novella length story, the author has managed to deliver a well-developed tale with character development and exhilarating action.
The connection between Claudia and Nathan is palpable. The bantering dialog is fun, and the attraction that initially was only over the phone now gets new dimensions in up close and personal relations in a small cabin, in the middle of the Snowmageddon.
While their lives are threatened and there is no guarantee none of them will survive, Claudia and Nathan are drawn to each other and desperately fighting against it and the possible consequences of their actions.
I enjoyed the story and the intriguing puzzle of the kidnapping and possible terrorist operation happening right there in a backyard of Claudia’s childhood home. The action is fierce and fast, the tension is tangible, and the threat is real, setting the reader on the edge for most of the story, delivering an entertaining, twisted, vehement tale of fervent suspense and ardent romance
~ Four Spoons with a teaspoon on the side
This is the best of the Guardian Agency series yet. Getting to meet Claudia, at last, was great and she and Nathan together are a fun, explosive combination. There is so much action, suspense, excitement, drama, and hot romance you will be dying for more. This is a fast-paced story from beginning to end and the intrigue is consistent throughout with engaging characters and a strong storyline. Well worth the time!
*I received an advanced copy from the author under no obligation to read/review. I am reviewing this story on my own and providing an honest review. Thank you, Regan Black!
Guardian Agency: Nathan by Regan Black is an update to her co-written novel with Debra Webb, Nothing to Lose. Black has integrated this novel into the Brotherhood Protectors World and made some definite updates. Readers of the first version will find something new to love. Claudia was always my favorite character in this series so seeing her get her HEA all over again definitely worth it.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
(4.5) Yes! We get to meet Claudia. Who knew she had that background, wow, not me. Impressive!
I loved, loved, loved the fact that she knew Hank and we got to see Bear, be it a short moment 🙂
I like that fact that we didn’t have a whiny stubborn pigheaded female or male! Although in the beginning I wanted to tell Claudia to shore up and use that fantastic brain. She must of read my mind, because she did and then off to the races we went! Action, hot male, smart and brainy female,suspense, some hot loving in a cold setting 🙂 Thank you Regan Black for the opportunity to read this arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own and unsolicited.
Another hit for this author. I loved the story and the characters.
