REVIEW:
“Suspense with a side of love, 4 stars”
Nick has one goal and one goal only to become a Director of
the Secret Service. The closest thing to a family man he is being close to his
parents and siblings, otherwise he doesn’t do relationships. They are a
conflict of interest with his job. But when he spends a little time with
Isabelle the POTUS sister that may change.
Isabelle is a widow with two twin boys. Her life hasn’t been
easy between the death of her husband and always having a target on her back
because of her brother. When threatening notes start to show up at home and at
her business she knows it’s time to tell her brother. When her Secret Service
detail shows up she has a few demands, will those demands work or will they put
her and her children’s lives in danger?
Nick and Isabelle have a decent relationship throughout the
story. There were times when she was the head strong female and he was all alpha. My
only issue was, I didn’t get as much of the romantic feelings as I wanted out of
the two. They were both very affectionate people with others, except each
other. I know they were stuck between a rock and a hard place and no one could
know, but I just didn’t connect with them when no one was around.
Nick is a diehard family man when it comes to his siblings
and parents. His siblings play a huge roll in this story which I thought was
fantastic. Isabelle and her sons really did just fall into the sync with the
Marino’s. The suspense was spot on where the romance lacked. You could become
invested in finding out who was after sweet Isabelle. If you’re looking for a
quick suspense with a side of romance then I would go with Above and Beyond.
