Threats don’t shake him...She’s a different story.
When a terrified whistleblower reaches out to journalist Brooke, she’s thrown into a deadly race to expose the truth. Then her source vanishes. Her car’s sabotaged. And someone clearly wants her story buried—permanently.
The last thing she expects is Caleb—a brooding, ex-Green Beret turned bodyguard—showing up on her doorstep.
She doesn’t want protection. He’s not asking for permission.
But when her source turns up dead, the danger gets personal—and Brooke becomes the next target.
The threat is real.
The stakes are lethal.
Caleb’s locked, loaded, and ready to do whatever it takes. Because when the mission goes off the rails, and the woman you’re protecting becomes everything—
Rules don’t matter. Survival does.
My review:
Yates is still the new kid on the block, with this being her third full length suspense novel. She does have a prequel novella that I believe is still free for signing up for her newsletter.
The first two books in this series were great. I totally loved them, and devoured them. So doing no disservice to Collision Course (#1) and Lethal Deceit (#2), the author has truly found her groove in this third novel. It was a truly awesome word, and I am not overusing that word here.
The writing was truly well done. Yates did a perfect blend of suspense, romance, drama, faith, and even humor. I found myself chuckling out loud a few times, such as the thought of a 6 foot plus former military guy sleeping on essential oil scented Strawberry Shortcake sheets.
I liked the main characters. A lot. Brooke was determined to seek out the truth, with no thoughts to her safety. Caleb was determined to keep her safe, no matter what she thought of him.
The plot was a great well thought out one, and the author kept the characters and the readers in the dark a bit about what was really going on.
And I have to say kudos to the author for her pro-life message in the book.
I can't end this review without mentioning the faith aspect. The author wove it seamlessly throughout the story, giving some truths through her characters in a way that resonated without being what some people call "preachy." I read some things regarding faith that I needed.
The suspense was pretty much non-stop, and I read the book in one sitting, not wanting to put it down.
With this latest suspense novel, Yates shows she has her place on the Christian fiction market. I am already looking forward to the next book in this great series.
Special thanks to the author for an advance e-book copy of this novel. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
About the author:
Falling in love shouldn’t be this dangerous—but Jorgia Yates wouldn’t have it any other way.
She writes Christian Romantic Suspense with protective heroes, courageous heroines, and a faith that holds strong when everything else falls apart.
Jorgia married her teenage sweetheart (after a very awkward meet-cute in the 90s), and together they’re raising two amazing children on the spectrum.
Living with chronic illness means her world is a little smaller—but her imagination is anything but. So while real life includes rest, resilience, and lots of grace, her characters chase danger, dodge bullets, and fall hard for the kind of love that protects—body and soul.
Check out her website at JorgiaYates.com. If you subscribe to her newsletter, you get a free e-book copy of the prequel to this series, Covert Rish.
