More than Family

Watchdog Security Series, Book 2

By: Olivia Michaels

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Jo Raylan

She trusted him with her life and her daughter’s. Can she trust him with her heart?

Navy SEAL Camden Bains knew when he saved the little girl from a hostage situation and placed her in the arms of her beautiful mother that he’d surrendered his heart to them, too. As much as he fought his growing attraction to a woman he’d never see again after his mission, Elena’s kindness and strength, and her daughter’s sweetness, gave Camden back what a senseless tragedy robbed him of years ago. If only for a little while.

After her husband died, the only bright spot in Elena Martinez’s life was her daughter, Tina. Raising Tina in a town full of misery only made Elena more determined to make it out and give her daughter a better life. Memories of her husband kept her from even considering another man—not that there were any good ones around. Until the sexy bodyguard from Los Angeles saved her daughter’s life.

Now that Elena and Tina are living in LA, she’s worried that if she opens her heart to Camden and allows the strong protector into their lives, Tina will forget her father. Camden is more than willing to help them settle in, hoping she’ll realize she doesn’t have to face the world alone anymore, and neither does he. But when Elena becomes involved in Camden’s deadly new assignment, will the ghosts from their pasts help them or keep them apart forever?

More than Family comes across as a stand-alone HEA romance but is also part of the Watchdog Security series with reoccurring characters.

Overcoming the past to embracing the future

I enjoyed this story as these characters both overcome their pain from past tragedies as they fall in love. There is also a little girl and she steals the show. It’s well written and the narrators have done an excellent job bringing the characters to life.

ok overallq

much to be desired the story somewhat bland. the girl, Tina was unbearable spoiled a brat and it seems it was all about her and fer mom, elena. liked the narration but not crazy about the characters
