While I have been on this author's launch team in the past, I actually bought the ebook before it was released! I've never done that with an ebook on Kindle so it was a surprise when it showed up in my email notifying me that I could now read it! I'm excited to dive into this series.

Summary:

Can this bad-boy bodyguard protect America's sweetheart without losing his heart?

Fiona Raven is famous for her homestyle cooking with a hint of Italian flair. Everyone knows her face and has her pre-packaged food in their freezer. So why is she receiving threatening notes? Fiona’s brother insists on sending a bodyguard, news that only gets worse when she realizes it is his friend Ryder - the one man she could never let herself love.

Ryder McClain has played the villain enough times to appreciate being the hero working for Black Tower Security. Along with his new client comes a stern warning from her brother - his boss and best friend - to keep his hands off. It doesn’t matter anyway, Fiona is the perfect woman, and exactly the kind he doesn’t deserve.

Ryder will do whatever it takes to protect Fiona. Threatening notes turn into suspicious break-ins and destructive corporate espionage, and this bodyguard assignment gets even more serious. Can Ryder get to the bottom of the threat before his heart gets too involved?

Dive into the intrigue and romance of Potential Threat, Book 1 of the Black Tower Security Series. Compelling characters, clean romance and heart-racing action.

My Review:

Having sampled some of the author's romantic suspense in the past, I was really looking forward to this new series and Potential Threat didn't disappoint!

If you're a perfectionist, then you'll be able to relate well to Fiona, Flint's sister. If you have a hard time trusting your instincts and giving yourself grace, you'll be able to relate to Ryder, Ross's brother. I definitely could relate well to Ryder in that sense.

Out of the blue Fiona is being harassed, but the person who is doing the harassing is super sneaky! Thank goodness Fiona's connected since her brother is part of Black Tower Security. I enjoyed seeing the tug of war Fiona and Ryder had with her security. She was so determined that it would all get figured out and Ryder was dead serious in his protection.

I felt so bad for Ryder because he felt so incapable of truly keeping Fiona (or anyone) safe. The author made it easy to understand why he didn't see his worth or that he was good at what he did. On the flip side, she also allowed us to see the constant go, go, go mentality of a perfectionist in Fiona. Just reading her part of the story exhausted me.

There were definitely a few unexpected twists that really surprised me! You can't have a good suspense unless this happens! I'm also loving how the team at BTS works together. Their stories are going to be fun to watch unfold!

I loved the chemistry between Fiona and Ryder. A slow burn and wonderful. They're just so great together. Had to fan myself one time. Thankful that the author gives us the balance of steam in their growing feelings while keeping it tame. lol

There might be a couple of spots that are sensitive to readers in the form of a roofies in a drink and someone taking their own life (this isn't fulled played out for the reader).

I'm already looking forward to Joey and Cole's story!
