I know when I pick up one of Christine Bell's books, I'm gonna laugh. I might also cry. I'll definitely have to fan myself more than once, and I might bite my nails a little bit too, even though deep down, I know it's all going to turn out all right.  The thing that makes Christine's books so worthwhile is that there's no place she won't go while she pushes her characters down the road to happy-ever-after. No. Place. I love that."Guardian for Hire" delivers on all fronts. The heroine, couples therapist Sarabeth Luckings, is incredibly down on her luck at the start of the story, despite her last name. She's lost her job. Her professional reputation is in tatters, and she's perilously close to losing her life. But her good friends Owen and Lindy won't let that happen.Enter ex-Army Ranger Gavin McClintock, a tall, dark, dangerous mountain of testosterone and sarcasm Owen convinces to protect Sarabeth from the crazy-nut methodically offing everyone involved in the sordid con Sarabeth's former boss ran, unbeknownst to her, through the couples retreat where she worked.There couldn't be a more opposite couple, but when these two get together, it's explosive! (Literally). The action, the chemistry and the laughs will have you staying up past your bedtime, turning the page `cause there's too much good stuff!!! The only moment of disappointment will be when you realize, shoot, it's over! (But then you can go order the first book in the series, "Wife for Hire").
