Katie Singleton, a partner with the Elite Guardians Protection Agency, stumbles upon her next assignment quite by accident. Spotting blue lights at a familiar restaurant, she stops to investigate, only to discover that owner Daniel Matthews has become the target of someone who will go to any lengths to put him out of business.
Daniel might be concerned, but he's not convinced that a bodyguard--and a female one at that--is necessary. A new attack and his niece's urgings are enough to make him reconsider. He and Katie must figure out who's behind the intimidation and threats--before a would-be killer strikes again.
After reading Lynette Eason’s first book of the Elite Guardians series, I was eager to get a copy of the next one. It was everything I’d hope for: heart-pounding tension, damaged but worthy hero and heroine, intriguing secondary characters, and a mystery that kept me reading until the wee hours.
Daniel’s precocious niece, Riley, snagged my interest and my heart from the beginning. Her faith shines bright in spite of the tragedy in her past, and her clear head in times of danger impressed me. I wonder if she might become part of the Elite Guardian team in a future book.
The romance between Katie and Daniel adds to the danger, as they both fear their feelings could interfere with the decisions they are forced to make. And the mystery was well done; I was well into the story before I guessed at the murderer’s identity.
Without Warning is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a fast-paced romantic suspense. I award this story four and a half stars. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher, Revell Books, in return for my honest opinion.
