I
received a KINDLE Edition for this book as a giveaway prize through a FaceBook
group, and the following is my honest opinion of the book.
One
would think someone like Brad Morgan, who gained his experience as a Royal
Marine Commando, would have had any problems with the simple task of protecting
Alicia Gladstone, an entertainer. It shouldn’t have Brad had been in an elite
unit, and now owns his company in the field of private security, which he
operates under the same standards he’d learned in the service.
But
it does, and he’s ultimately comes to terms with this issue; all the while
making sure his client is kept safe.
Being
an entertainer, Alicia lives most of her day to day in another world, a world
in which practically everything is really a fake. People are not who or what
they appear to be, and things which seem to be happening have merely been
staged. Think of walking onto a movie
set in the middle of movie set without realizing it and seeing people being
shot at, etc.; the experience can be quite upsetting.
While
this for Brad it is extremely distracting given his training, it poses no
problem. However seeing this happening,
and hearing the sounds triggers a history he believed he’d had long forgotten
about; now becomes something he needs to resolve before he can truly move on.
Alicia
is a strong, self-determined woman who lets nothing to get in her way of what
needs to be done, and like the old silent movie, “The Perils of Pauline,” she’s
able to overcome things which gets thrown in her way.
The
overall melding of action, dialogue, plot twists made for an exciting
turn-paging read. The mixture of two genres; mystery and romance, added to the
enjoyment of this book; especially that of the relationship which develops
between these, ending with --- you’ve got to read the book to find out.
A
word of advice to American readers:
The
author uses the British spelling of words, so a word like “favorite” become
“favourite,” and also uses British terminology. While becoming a Book Reviewer,
I’ve become accustomed in reading this, still shouldn’t distract anyone else
from enjoying this book as I have.
In
the end, I’m happy to give this book 5 STARS.
