Daddy Defender

This is the 4th book of Ms Crouch’s that I have read, and am totally hooked. Daddy Defender is a spinoff of the author’s Omega Sector. This one centers around Ashton Fitzgerald, a sharpshooter for the Omega Sector, and Summer Worrall. Summer’s husband was killed during a hostage situation involving Ashton and his team. He feels responsible for her husband’s death. It was sweet the way Summer thought he was a handyman instead of a law enforcement agent. Chole, Summer’s baby is adorable and totally taken by Ashton. Summer finds out who he really is during a hostage situation she witnessed. Needless to say, she was hurt . Life gets complicated when someone decides to take revenge against the Omega Sector, and Summer and Chole become targets by association. The plot and characters were well developed , ad interesting. The story was full of suspense, a psychopath full of revenge, an alpha male with a soft spot for a little girl and her Mom , and romance. Though it definitely is NOT a cliffhanger, the mystery will continue in the next book, and I am looking forward to finding out what the author has in store for us.
I was gifted this copy. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

When Summer called her friend and landlord, Joe, about a problem she had in her condo, he asked Ashton to look into it for him. When Ashton checked it out, he realized he could make the repair. So instead of calling someone in to take care of it, he handled it himself. Because of this Summer thought he was the condo handyman but he was actually a member of the Omega Sector SWAT team. She really liked him and wanted to see him again so kept calling him to fix things for her. The longer the mistaken identity went on, the harder it was for Ashton to confess. The matter was taken out of his hands when Summer’s young daughter, Chloe, shouted out to him when he was on a job for Omega and in full SWAT gear. Summer was not happy about the lies. But things got worse. Someone decided to take revenge against the Omega Sector, and Summer and Chloe were caught in it. I loved this romantic suspense. There were so many things that had me tense, waiting for answers. Who and why did somebody want revenge on Omega Sector? Ashton had always felt responsible for Summer’s husband’s death. Was he ever going to confess this to her? I liked the way the romance between Ashton and Summer built as the story progressed. There were issued that could end it before it even started. The characters were terrific. Even though Ashton was extremely good at his job as a sharpshooter for Omega, he wasn’t very confident in his personal life. Summer is a strong, capable woman and a wonderful mother. Her daughter, Chloe, is the cutest little girl. I loved how she took to Ashton and how great he was with her. There is a REALLY bad, insane villain. And I loved how capable the SWAT team was. They always had each other’s back. Obviously, I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. The cover alone will make you want to get it.

Action Packed Riveting Romance! What could be more enthralling than a smitten S.W.A.T commando, a feisty young widow, and an adorable toddler? Absolutely nothing! I loved everything about Janie Crouch's Daddy Defender, including the book cover, and I am looking forward to reading more of this series.
