Driving Force by Kate Angelo, presented by Lynette Eason, is a must-read for fans of fast-paced suspense. This story picks up where the original Lynette Eason Elite Guardians series left off. Readers will love to revisit their favorite characters while getting to meet the new Elite Guardians, an all-female bodyguard agency.
Christina Sherman is an ex-Army sniper-turned-bodyguard. She meets Grey Parker at a public event where there is an assassination attempt on the governor. Grey gets a front row seat to watch Christina in action, and he has an assignment of his own for her. He hires the Elite Guardians to protect his partner while Grey undergoes an experimental surgery. He was injured in action when exposed to a deadly toxin which left him in a wheelchair. If the surgery is a success, he will be able to walk again. But little does Christina know that Grey’s partner, Boss, is a highly specialized Belgian Malinois who is trained to sniff out the toxin that caused his injury. A toxin that if fallen into the wrong hands would spell disaster.
This story has plenty of action and suspense but add Boss to the equation and the story becomes doubly intriguing. Boss isn’t your average dog, and Christina finds herself in danger more times than she can count trying to keep Boss from getting kidnapped. Or is that dog-napped?
The characters definitely drive the story alongside the action-packed plot. I love the budding romance between Grey and Christina. Both have complex pasts that have kept them focused on their jobs. But their chemistry is flammable, and I enjoyed watching a few sparks ignite.
If you love high-octane action with heart-warming characters, look no further. Be sure to check out this incredible debut novel from Kate Angelo. I can’t wait to read more from her in the future.
