Summary:
After someone slashes the tires of her
car, heiress Piper Roseland decides the chain of unfortunate events
that have been plaguing her are not unrelated events. In search of a
body guard who will be discreet, she calls her Uncle Theo who sends
her Alex Jensen. Although Alex presents himself as a
bodyguard/private investigator for hire, that isn't who he really is.
Alex is actually a secret agent with a organization run by Piper's
Uncle. The agency's job is to gather intelligence for various
government agencies such as the CIA. When Uncle Theo sends Piper to
Alex he doesn't just do so because Piper needs protection. Uncle
Theo has received Intel stating that someone in Piper's family or
household is actually involved with a drug cartel from Mexico and
Uncle Theo sees this as the perfect opportunity to get someone into
the Roseland mansion without raising any suspicions.
From the beginning Piper is attracted
to Alex, but she doesn't do serious relationships. Piper keeps all
her relationships physical with her emotions locked away. Alex knows
that getting involved with a woman like Piper is a bad idea, yet he
can not resist her head strong personality and her desire to help
others. As Alex works to keep Piper safe while at the same time
uncovering who is working for the drug cartel, the two can not keep
these emotions out of their relationship.
Christina's Thoughts:
This is the first book that I have read
by Judy Teel and I must say that I enjoyed it. The book was
well-paced with great dialogue and a good plot. The conversations
between the characters felt real and believable. Overall I liked
both main characters, although I was a little partial to Alex. Piper
had some great qualities like her desire to help others and her
devotion to her family. Some of her actions annoyed me a bit and at
times I wanted to slap her for a few of the stunts she pulled.
Alex was a great character throughout.
He came off as strong and confident without being overbearing or
sarcastic. He had all the best qualities of a true Alpha male while
at the same time being able to recognize his feelings for Piper.
Overall opinion:
Overall, I enjoyed this story. The
plot was well developed and the characters likeable. I would
recommend this book to anyone who enjoys contemporary romance. And I
plan on checking out other books by Ms. Teel.
