Search - To the Edge (Bodyguards, Bk 1)

Growing up, Jillian Kincaid had an ever present shadow--a body guard. Her father, a high profile publishing mogul, feared someone would try to harm his baby girl. For years Jillian felt like a captive, and now that she's grown, she fights to maintain her freedom. When she starts receiving threatening phone calls at the television station where she's an anchorwoman and at home, her father hires bodyguard Nolan Garret to protect his baby. Jillian doesn't want the incredibly sexy Nolan invading her space or filling her mind with lust filled dreams, but she's scared.

Former Army Ranger Nolan Garret had only been home from the armed forces for three months when his brother came to him asking a favor. Some "princess" needed protecting, and her father only wanted the best; grudgingly, Nolan agreed to help. Demons from his days as a Ranger haunt his dreams and soon the dreams include Jillian. Nolan has already lost too many who were close to him, thus creates a mental image of Jillian being a weak, spoiled-rotten, self-centered, daddy's girl. Self-assured, compassionate, hardworking Jillian soon shatters that image and Nolan finds himself falling for her.

Just when I was afraid TO THE EDGE would hit a sagging middle, Cindy Gerard threw in a twist I hadn't expected and revved up the speed. Toward the end when I was in the swing of things, thinking the novel would wind down, Ms. Gerard threw in another twist that hyped me up again. Watching Jillian and Nolan fight their attraction for each other while they searched for the identity of the stalker was sexual tension at the highest.

First in the bodyguard series...not necessary to read first. Good book, though not my favorite so far in the series.

The first in the series, this is my favorite of them all. Tortured hero and well done sexual tension, make this a compelling read.

good
