About the Book

Series: Elite Guardians Collection #1
Authors: Lynette Eason presents Kate Angelo
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: March 22, 2022

He’s the last client she wants to protect…

Elite Guardians bodyguard/former sniper CHRISTINA SHERMAN has protected uncooperative clients before—but this time, well her client is bossy, headstrong and occasionally eats off the floor. Yes, he’s a highly trained military working dog, but certainly her skills could be put to better use, right?

Not according to former Special Forces Air Commando GREY PARKER. He needs her help to protect his dog while he undergoes an experimental surgery that could restore his ability to walk. He just needs someone to keep his canine partner safe. Most of all, Grey wants back on his feet so he can track down a deranged scientist known as The Scavenger who unleashed a nerve agent that left Grey sidelined in a wheelchair.

When an attempt is made on Grey’s life, and dead bodies begin piling up—with evidence the same toxin is responsible—suddenly Christina is tasked with keeping both dog and soldier alive…and with them, the secrets that could stop a terrorist attack.

But this time, even Christina might be in over her head.

Dive into the exciting ignition to the Elite Guardians Collection.

My Review

Driving Force
by Lynette Eason & Kate Angelo
Book 1 in the Elite Guardians Collection
Rating: 4.5/5

“God was her rock, the one who trained her hands for war and her fingers for battle. She refused to let her training fail her now.”

As a huge fan of Lynette Eason, I was super excited to get my hands on an ARC for the new book in her Elite Guardians Collection. Newcomer Kate Angelo does an amazing job of expanding on Eason’s Elite Guardians series and bringing her own voice to a fantastic series with strong female leads. And you can definitely read this as a standalone novel if you haven’t read the Elite Guardians series yet.

First, the book cover is great and quite eye-catching. The heroine is front and center and looks incredibly capable.
Second, the story dives in right away. This story is fast-paced, adrenaline-filled and full of suspense. I was completely hooked from the first chapter.
Third, the main characters are strong yet relatable. Christina has her own ghosts but she does her job well and seems to do it better than others. She is guarded at first but learns to trust. Grey suffers from PTSD and doubts his abilities after becoming wheelchair-bound. I loved how the authors highlighted a hero with a disability and they were not afraid to deal with some of his demons.
Fourth, Boss is amazing, loyal, intelligent, and so adorable. That is all. 😉
Fifth, I always enjoy when an author can incorporate faith aspects into their writing in a non-forced way. The message is very applicable and authentic.

Highly recommend if you enjoy Christian romantic suspense that hooks you from the start and keeps you guessing till the end!

MY REVIEW

Heart of Stone
by David James Warren
Book 6 in the True Lies of Rembrandt Stone series
Rating: 4.5/5

What an ending! Such a whirlwind of a book and series. It’s been so fun being a part of the Rembrandt Stone world this whole year. I have enjoyed each and every book and it’s a bit bittersweet for the series to end. You definitely need to read the other five books first since it’s a continuing story. This series would make a great TV series.

“They say that without hope, people perish. I say hope crushes the soul.”

The story is well written and fast-paced filled with the characters I am now familiar with. I am rooting for Eve and Rem and their epic love story. Time travel is always an interesting literary device and I wish there was a little bit more explanation about how it all works but I think the authors did their best to explain it in an understandable manner.

This book really asked some deeper questions of Rembrandt and his faith in God. Of all the books, this last one definitely has the most about faith and prayer than the others. It’s always interesting how the authors incorporate faith into a sci-fi novel.

“What if it’s not our regrets that make us who we are, but the choices after the regrets?”

Highly recommend if you enjoy time-traveling detective stories with high stakes, action and a love that spans decades.

MY REVIEW

Blood From a Stone
by David James Warren
Book 5 in the True Lies of Rembrandt Stone series
Rating: 4.5/5

“I am rewriting all of it, and this time, I’m going to return to a life I know.”

I’m still reeling from that cliffhanger of an ending! Wow. The authors just keep getting better and better. Rembrandt Stone just keeps getting into more and more trouble. I’ve guessed who the villain is but will have to wait till the last book to confirm. This book is worth reading but please read the series in order. They are quick reads that will keep you flipping to the next page. The writing is solid and action packed but with moments of self reflection and regret. The reader will not want to stop reading to figure out what will happen next.

To a time traveler, until you’ve been someplace for a long time, rewriting the past feels like a game. We jump into the moment, armed with knowledge we shouldn’t possess, the older and wiser versions of ourselves, with the goal of rewriting our lives, this time for the better.

Highly recommend if you enjoy time traveling detectives who can’t help themselves.
