11th Hour, Book 1

By: Jackie Ashenden

Narrated by: Carrie Brach

Rugged, skilled, and hard-bodied, Jack King's whole life was the Marines until an injury left him discharged from active duty. But he finds a new purpose when he's recruited by a special unit that employs ex-military to do very special jobs. Yet he's not impressed when his first assignment is babysitting the pretty, perfect daughter of a politician - especially when she's far from the angel she appears to be....

Callie Hawthorne hates politics, and she hates playing the part of a senator's goody-two-shoes daughter even more. It only gets worse when her father decides she needs a security detail 24/7 - and the bodyguard happens to be the most insanely hot guy Callie's ever seen. Still, she's not going to be ordered around just because of some half-assed threat to her father....

But when it turns out her dad's no angel either, Jack has to kidnap Callie in order to protect her. And as danger closes in, he'll need all his considerable talents to keep them both alive. The greater challenge will be to keep his hands off her....

Contains mature themes.

starts slow but gets so good

Starts with the female main character being so unlikable but by chapter 6 or so the reason becomes apparent. Soon your patience will be rewarded and the characters and story are great.

Determined to finish this series

Contemplation, angst, romance, some action followed by more contemplation and angst. Short taps to fast forward helps speed things along during all the contemplation and angst.

Lots if action and suspense

This book held my attention from start to finish. It's about a Senator's daughter and her bodyguard. What starts out as a babysitting job quickly turns into more for Jack as he has to uncover a heinous plot to kill his charge. This book has it all.
