Summary:
Intensity. Skill. Tenacity.
The bodyguards of Elite Guardians Agency have it all.
Katie Singleton, a partner with the Elite Guardians Protection Agency, stumbles upon her next assignment quite by accident. Spotting blue lights at a familiar restaurant, she stops to investigate, only to discover that owner Daniel Matthews has become the target of someone who will go to any lengths to put him out of business.
Daniel might be concerned, but he's not convinced that a bodyguard--and a female one at that--is necessary. A new attack and his niece's urgings are enough to make him reconsider. He and Katie must figure out who's behind the intimidation and threats--before a would-be killer strikes again.
Lynette Eason is the bestselling author of the Women of Justice series, the Deadly Reunions series, and the Hidden Identity series, as well as Always Watching in the Elite Guardians series. She is the winner of an ACFW Carol Award, the Selah Award, and the Inspirational Readers' Choice Award. She lives in South Carolina.
My Review:
Four Stars
When a fired employee is found hanging in the basement of Daniel Matthews' restaurant and then another one of his restaurants is set on fire, it becomes obvious that someone is targeting Daniel and his interests. His teenage niece, Riley, suggests Katie, her self defense teacher and partner of Elite Guardians Protection Agency, be his bodyguard. Daniel's a very capable man who can take care of himself, so he doesn't like the idea, but reluctantly agrees. He's smart enough to realize the seriousness of the situation and accepts Katie's help.
The suspense in this book was off the charts and the pace is lightning fast, having me glued to the pages trying to figure out what was going on and what was going to happen next. While the suspense was great, it did take me about half the book before I really connected with Daniel and Katie. I really liked Riley, though. She had a really strong, deep faith and seemed very mature and wise for her seventeen years. I suspected who the bad guy was, but could not figure out what their motive might be, but it all made sense when it was revealed.
All in all, Without Warning was another action-packed suspenseful read from Lynette Eason that I'm sure any fan of romantic suspense will enjoy. It had been awhile since I read Always Watching, the first book in this series, so I was a little worried about being lost, but I had no need to fret. I'm pretty sure this could standalone just fine. I'm definitely looking forward to getting my hands on Moving Target, book three, to see what threat the Elite Guardians encounter next.
