Connie’s Quick Quack review of Dying For You (The Protectors Series) by Beverly Barton
Romantic Suspense released by HQN on 1 Dec 08
Lucie is a private security agent and wants a fresh start away from Sawyer McNamara. She no longer craves his forgiveness for something she did not do.
Lucie takes a job guarding wealthy Cara Bedell, from Barton’s earlier Protectors novels. Cara has money to burn and suffers from unrequited love because the man she loves wants to take care of his wife.
While guarding Cara, Lucie is kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity and everyone must try to determine why someone wanted to kidnap Cara and try to find Lucie before it is to late. Sawyer can’t seem to get over Lucie but will risk his life to help save hers. They keep the mistake in the kidnappings covered up because they know if the kidnappers find out they have the wrong person they will kill her.
These are not new characters but ones you would not want to miss. I’m sure everyone will hate to see this series end, so grab it and enjoy it while you can.
Grade: B+
Summary:
All private security agent Lucie Evans wants is a fresh start – and the chance to show Sawyer McNamara, her unforgiving ex-boss, that she no longer craves absolution for a crime she didn’t commit. So when she’s offered a trip to South America as the personal bodyguard to a billionaire heiress, Lucie jumps at the prospect of leaving the Dundee Agency behind. But then she’s kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity, and her only hope of survival rests with the one man she never wanted to see again…
Sawyer has spent years convincing himself that all he feels for Lucie is contempt – but with her life on the line, he’s forced to face the passion that has always sizzled between them. Yet it might be a case of too little, too late. Because Lucie’s captor is still on the loose…and he won’t rest until Lucie is silenced once and for all.
