I really enjoyed reading Guardian For Hire written by author Christine Bell whose books are a must-read for me. This is book 2 in her For Hire series and I love the suspense element in this story since I'm a huge fan of romantic suspense. The story continues from book 1, Wife For Hire, when suspicious events befall those arrested as a result of the Healing Place scandal and Dr Sarabeth Lucking finds herself in danger and the next target. Gavin McClintock, a friend and security expert of Owen and Lindy, is hired by the couple to protect Sarabeth from an unknown killer. OMG! Sparks immediately fly between Sarabeth and Gavin upon their first meeting and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed their witty banter and dialogue in this story and I found myself chuckling at what Gavin puts Sarabeth through. Of course, she was able to torment poor Gavin which I loved and he unknowingly brought on himself. LOL!These two seemed like total opposites at first glance; Gavin being all alpha and having a less than stellar past while Sarabeth comes from a prestigious and wealthy family. However, they bond over their lack of a loving family. Sarabeth proved that she was a lot tougher than she looked and I liked that about her and Gavin took notice. I loved the sexual tension and chemistry between them and when they finally had sex, it was steamy and hot, just the way I like.I could not stop reading this book because I love when a tough, alpha hero loses his heart to the heroine and I could not wait to see how everything played out. Another winner from one of my favorite authors and I hope there's another story in this series.
