This story was alright with a good premise and I liked the communication but plot slowed midway replaced with lots of sex and I didn't care for its dissection. I also guessed the culprit pretty early. Declan's security firm is hired to protect psychologist Rachel who has received death threats. ( )

Declan Quinn is a security expert who is assigned to protect radio sex-pert Rachel Merrill. Rachel has a stalker, someone who has threatened to kill her on her trail - and this someone seems to know all about her double life as an anthropology professor by day and a radio host by night.

So when Rachel sees a large man coming after her in the parking garage, she hits him with pepper spray first and only then discovers that he's her would-be bodyguard - and hot at that!

Declan is immediately drawn to Rachel, and soon his desire to protect Rachel is no longer strictly professional.

Though part of a large series, this was fine as a stand-alone read. The chemistry between the main characters is scorching. Although there's a lot of sex, the book doesn't seem to jump from sex scene to sex scene. It all seems to fit together and move the plot forward.

One of the most enjoyable Harlequins I've read in a while. I'll look into finding some of the others in the series. ( )
