Bodyguard for Christmas

I've loved this entire series and am sad that it's over but this book was a great "final book"!!! The author did a great job of conveying the deep grief one feels with the loss of a spouse and also a mother of a toddler. Little Liam was so sweet but he was so traumatized by the sudden death of his mother and it comes through in the writing of this book. In almost every page I wanted to hug the little guy! His daddy was the same way! That's why when he comes home and sees Liam in the process of being kidnapped, he immediately does everything possible to stop it! He's NOT going to lose the only family he has left! Thankfully, he thwarts that attempt but knows he needs to hire a bodyguard because he still has to work AND he needs to move out of Atlanta and to a smaller town where he has a cabin. He's an assistant district attorney so he knows he's made enemies. Jasmine is a top rate bodyguard, even though she doesn't look like it. She goes into this assignment like all the others before - guard and protect but don't get close to the people. She never does.....until this time. Why is it different? She's never liked or bonded with children so why is she this time? It's just a great book with lots of action and twists! I recommend it! Even if you haven't read the first two books in the series, you'll still enjoy this book!! I was given a copy of this book by the author but not required to review it. These opinions are my own.

I enjoyed every moment of this book, and would have gladly read more. When I pick up a book by Carol J. Post I know I’m in for a fun several hours and can’t wait to get started. She has never let me down. Bodyguard for Christmas is a unique and exciting story. Colton and Jasmine have one goal and that’s to keep Colton’s son Liam safe. When Colton wanted to hire a bodyguard he never thought it would be petite Jasmine. She doesn’t seem the type to scare any bad guys, but looks can be deceiving. It just might be that she is exactly what Colton has been looking for. Can they work together to find out who wants to take Liam before it’s too late? I could not put this book down. The characters drew me in, and I at times felt and understood their anguish and pain. We can often be hardest on ourselves, and find it hard to let our guard down. Keeping a fake smile on your face isn’t a good way to live, but many of us do it. Post showed me that sharing those burdens with our Heavenly Father and those close to us makes life easier to bear. I can’t wait to read what she writes next. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and was in no way forced to post a review. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

This is book, though part of a series, is a stand alone. This is a Christian suspense romance that centers around Jasmine McNeal and Colton Gale. Both have suffered difficult childhoods and losses in their lives. Colton is a widower with a three year old that has stopped speaking since his Mom’s death. Jasmine, a former military MP, works for a security company in Atlanta. When Liam, the young boy, is almost kidnapped by two masked men, Colton seeks the help of the Burch Security Specialists. Colton was not thrilled when Jasmine , a small woman, is assigned to him. That is until she shows her strength. Neither is interested in a relationship, and keep things professional.But as they fight the attraction, Liam starts coming out of his shell with Jasmine’s help. The story is filled with bad guys, kidnappers, hope, faith in God and romance. I enjoyed the epilogue where the characters in the series are together and we see how their lives have progressed. A good ending for the series. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
