Ann Mayburn has done it again! I have been a fan of hers for a long time. She is able to provide a perfect balance great characters you love and steamy sex scenes. "Guarding Hope" lives up to her standard wonderful read.Daniel Escobar is a former Marine working with other Marine Buddiesat the Contego Agency providing security. He is surprised to find his new client is his high school girlfriend. He has carried a torch for her for years, but they were broken up by her father's lies.Hope Walker is running a shelter for abused women and children to escape bad situations. After helping a mob boss's wife, her life is in danger. She must rely on a man that she has been in love with since high school that she thinks abandoned her.Ann Mayburn sets up a perfect situation here with star crossed lovers, danger, and hot sex. The characters in the book are an interracial couple, but that does not distract from the story. You get drawn into Daniel's and Hope's story. I found myself rooting or them and wanting them to talk about the past and get through the lies that have been told. You can literally feel their attraction for each other come off the pages. The electricity between them sizzles. Their are times where they are trying to escape danger and get away from the mob boss that you can't read fast enough. The action is fast past and made my palms damp with anticipation.As we met the Marine buddies, we can see how the other stories will get to build around them. I cannot wait to read Boden's story.
