Peggy Jaeger writes an intense and seductive story with suspense and intriguing characters. Rick works as a private investigator and bodyguard and he is the perfect protective alpha hero. However, his issues cause him to keep to himself and it is difficult for him to get close to people.
Rick and Abby have known each other for a few years and although there is a lot of simmering heat between them, they have kept their distance. Everything changes when Rick has to protect Abby from a client’s crazy ex-husband.Β As they spend more time together, they find it hard to fight the attraction. As they get to know each other their respect grows along with their attraction.Β
Abby is a dedicated and hard working attorney. She cares about her clients and puts them before anything else. Rick likes everything about Abby and the more he gets to know her, the more he is drawn to her. Abby is smart and feisty and keeps Rick on his toes.
I liked both Rick and Abby and enjoyed their story. They are a good match and when they are together, they help each other overcome their issues. I also enjoyed Abby’s family and all the interesting secondary characters. This is another heartwarming story by Peggy Jaeger.
Thank you so much for this lovely review.
