Neither Nolan nor Michelle have forgotten the night together about a year ago and now Nolan has the chance to go home for work and finally work out what to do with his late great aunts home. Turns out the timing is perfect not only because Michelle is also at his great aunts home cataloging the house contents but also hiding out so Nolan not only has the chance to see if they could be more than a one night thing but also help protect her and show he cares. There is a good mix of attraction, suspense along with mystery and some action which has you turning the page to see if the bad guy gets caught and Nolan and Michelle with be honest with each other not only about how they feel but also what happen to Michelle after their first hook up so they can have the happy ever after they deserve!!
Well, that was a doozy of an introduction to the legal back-up of the Guardians! The mysterious Gamble and Swann, well Swann in this case, is not a dusty old fuddy-duddy being used as a front as I thought. Nope, Swann is one handsome hottie, legal eagle with a streak of Alpha a mile wide!
Nolan is getting out of the office to recruit a potential new recruit for the Guardian Agency. He’ll also combine it with a visit back home to clear up the estate of a beloved auntie. He did not expect to find a former flame hiding out. Said flame almost takes his head off!
Melissa and Swann’s little tete a tete after Ellen Sue’s funeral left behind a little surprise, one that Melissa did not tell Swann about. Now she needs his help dealing with a deranged antique thief.
What a great read! I really should have known that Gamble and Swann would not be what I assumed would be a crusty couple of curmudgeons! Regan does like to slap you up the side of the head with a plot twist! Swann is just about the perfect hero; strong, smart, loyal, with just the right amount of possessiveness. I REALLY want to know who is on the end of that phone! Who is the big Kahuna?

This is another really good
Story in the guardian agency series..
Thank you Regan Black.
A great adventure escape story filled with ardent love budding between two friends.
I enjoyed the tense suspense, the danger of the unknown, the fight for justice, and the challenge to keep Michelle safe from the unhinged and deadly culprit.
The attraction between Noah and Michelle is palpable, I love it when the protagonists don’t create unnecessary drama but handle things maturely.
I started this novella at the moment when I needed a distraction to my thoughts and this worked perfectly as I got tangled into the web of danger and desire in the entertaining tale.
Brotherhood Protectors never fail to delight and deliver enthralling stories.
As usual this book didn’t disappoint. There is plenty of action and danger. Swann took the job to check out the story about a young man who is at leavenworth, to find out the truth about his supposed crime and to get him on board with their group. When he went back to his hometown he knew he might run into his one night stand. I would have liked to see the outcome of Brady (military) who is the one in prison, so hopefully there will be more about him in another book. HEA.
Getting to dive into another one that is a series and world that I have fallen for. We are thrown into drama that will pull us to the edge when Michelle is in danger and being threatened. Since Nolan has to take care of a few things he runs into her while at his aunt’s house. When we are now hooked for good and this also looks like a second chance could come off of it we have our nose in it. Trust will also have to build in there with that said we see it in action. Until that happens danger could win. This author knows how to spin intrigue with romance in such a way we are lost until we are found at the end of the book.
Another hit for this author. I loved the story and the characters.
This book was a fun addition to the Guardian Agency series/Brotherhood Protectors World. The characters were appealing, the storyline was engaging and there was plenty of suspense, mystery, and danger to hold interest, as well as a sweet, satisfying romance.
Noah and Michelle were charming characters who had known each other for a long time. Michelle runs an antique shop in Noah’s hometown and they meet up again for a one-night stand when he comes to town for his aunt’s funeral. They shared an incredible night with no strings and even though they each thought of the other often, neither reached out afterward. Michelle was close to his aunt and according to her will is responsible for cataloging Sue Ellen’s antiques and preparing them for auction while Noah is responsible for the estate itself. He has not been home since her funeral and has been procrastinating returning to deal with everything, partly because of Michelle. However, an assignment at a nearby prison draws him close enough to take care of both matters in the same trip.
Aside from his assignment at the prison to ascertain a certain inmate’s true guilt/innocence once he returns home and sees Michelle again decides he has some unfinished business with her as well. His buried feelings for her along with memories and nostalgia of the past have him rethinking his future. But in order to rekindle the flame, he first has to earn her trust and then he has to keep her alive.
*I received an ARC from the author and I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
A good read in the Guardian agency series in the Brotherhood protectors world.Nolan Swann and Michelle are long time friends who had a one night stand a year ago and didn’t see each other since. Now Nolan is back to investigate someone for his agency and he discovers Michelle hiding in the house of his late aunt.
Michelle had a burglar in her antique store and received threats and was afraid to stay in her own house. Now Nolan is here and immediately sparks fly! And the danger continues…
I really liked this book, a good romantic suspense and a good balance between romance and suspense. It is a great addition to the series!
I received this Arc from the author and this review is my honest opinion.
The Guardian Agency is a great series and It was different again to have one of the Swann and Gamble Lawyers to have a story. Nolan Swann and his partner Patrick Gamble had a meeting this person never left his home. So he wanted them to do him a favor and look into a person who he felt was wrongfully charged and then he wants them to put him to work at the agency. So this time Nolan Swann to his home town of Leavenworth, Kansas and also the prison where Connor Brady was serving is sentence. So Nolan went home and packed and made all the arrangement he was thinking about it he remember the one night stand he had and never called her back. also had his grocery order called in and was headed to the airport. Well things had changed while he was gone Michelle had her own Antique store still but she had come across some problems. She was in her office doing her closing of the day paperwork and cashing up when someone broke into the store and didn’t know she was there. So she called 911 from her office and but the cops scared him off. So the officer waited for her to do what she had to do then. She went to Ellen Sue house’s where she felt safe because nobody knew she was there. So she went and took a shower and found the gun Ellen Sue had and went to bed. Then she heard someone drive in so she went downstairs found the baseball bat and couldn’t tell who it was and waited for whoever it was to come in. When he came in she went right for his stomach with the bat and took his breath away. When he got his breath back she helped him up and asked him why he was there? He also asked her why she was there. He said,” he was there to fix the house and on business”. Michelle said,” someone broke into her store and didn’t dare go home and felt safer here”. So they talked and he wanted to know where her car was she told him in the barn/ garage. So they worked together to figured out what was going on with Michelle as well as Nolan did his job on the house and at the prison.Finally she broke down and told him about the baby she lost from the one night they had spent together and that changed everything. Well he ended up calling in The Guarding Angels and the Brother Protectors because he wanted to make sure they where both safe and nothing happened to either of them. This is one of The Guardian Angels was tense, suspense, romance and kept you turning the page to the very end. I can says Regan Black this is another book I will put up on the shelf. You took me Kansas and I enjoyed every bit of this trip as I do all the others.
Michelle and Nolan are friends who spent one night together a year ago before going their separate ways. When circumstances bring them back together can this be their chance for the something more they’ve been missing? When demands for the return of property Michelle doesn’t have turn to life threatening, Nolan will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
This is an exciting tale filled with lots of drama and action that will keep you involved throughout. The love interest builds quickly as Nolan realizes this is his chance to have the HEA he’s been envious of. It’s a fast-paced read with characters and a storyline that easily capture your heart and interest. You don’t want to miss this extremely entertaining addition to what has been a very appealing romantic suspense series.
Suspense, mystery, romance that left me feeling satisfied and enthused. Loved the new information doled out to us who are following the Guardian Agency Books and we saw more of the wonderful Brotherhood Protectors. Win-Win Nolan (lawyer at the Guardian Agency is checking out a potential new member recommended by their benefactor. This potential new member is in Leavenworth. Killing two birds with one stone he will swing by his deceased Aunts house to do some repairs and meets up with Michelle, a one night stand from the funeral, who has been targeted and is hiding. I loved the freshness of this book. There wasn’t hate and old painful words batted back in forth, but you still feel the sorrow they both felt. The new info on the Guardian Agency was great, it stirs up so much excitement for the next book. Thank you Regan Black for the arc, for such an enjoyable read. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

Nolan Swann is a lawyer for a rich benefactor who helps out veterans and builds specialty teams. His next project is to figure out if a man in military prison in jail for treason is actually guilty. In order to do that he has to go back home to Levenworth, Kansas. Something he doesn’t want to do. He had a one night stand with Michelle and never called her back. Now’s she’s got a bit of trouble brewing and she’s hiding out at his great aunt’s house. Let’s just say, she’s good with a bat. “Something just tumbled into place deep inside and everything felt right. Clear. He wouldn’t rush her or pressure her, but he wouldn’t give her any reason or room to doubt his intentions”. I love the Brotherhood Protector series and it’s nice to keep hearing from them in Ms. Black’s writing.
I love a totally confident man who knows what he wants and will do what he has to to find their happily ever after.
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
Another great story by Regan Black. The plot is filled with mystery, suspense, and romance. Nolan Swann and Michelle Korbel had one night of passion. A year later, they are reconnected. Swann is a lawyer, but he will do anything to protect the woman he loves. Michelle has a secret that could destroy their budding love. A killer wants something and threatens Michelle. The characters are well-developed and believable. I highly recommend this book and the Guardian Agency/Brotherhood Protectors series.
This is Nolan Swann and Michelle’s story. They have known each other a longtime. Swann comes back to settle his aunts estate after a year. They both have feeling for each other but don’t know if things will work out since they don’t live in the same place. Michelle has a secret and doesn’t think he’ll stay if he finds out. But a killer is after Michelle because he thinks she has something of his. There’s suspense, mystery and romance. You won’t be disappointed. Another great addition to the Guardian Series. Another winner by Regan!
