Publisher's summary

Strong enough to protect her. Bold enough to love her.

When good girl Margo Connelly becomes Lamar "Striker" Jennings's latest assignment, she knows she's in trouble. And not just because he's been hired to protect her from an underworld criminal. The reformed bad boy's appeal is breaching all her defenses, and as the threats against her increase, Margo isn't sure which is more dangerous: the gangster targeting her, or the far-too-alluring protector tempting her to let loose.

Though Striker's now living on the right side of the law, he's convinced his troubled past keeps Margo out of his league. But physical chemistry explodes into full-blown passion when they go on the run together. Surrendering to desire could be a deadly distraction - or finally prove that he's the only man qualified to keep her safe, and win her love.

Just fair

Kind of cheesy in the sec part and carries in too much in that category. Not that I don’t like romance and some sex, but this presentation seemed “cheesy”

Strong characters and great story

This was definitely a well written story that got your attention and held it throughout. Margo was a young woman who seemed to have had some bad luck in selecting previous boyfriends. Striker was a man protecting her and drawn to her from the start. The twists and turns throughout certainly keeps the story moving and the reader interested in what is coming next.

What A Page Turner

I found myself so lost in the story, that I would be holding my breath or saying out loud “answer the phone or look out “.

Thank you for the journey!
