"Always Watching" by Lynette Eason

About this book:

  “The bodyguards of Elite Guardians Agency have more than just skill and prowess in common--they're also all women. When it becomes clear that popular psychiatrist and radio personality Wade Savage has a stalker, his father secretly hires Elite Guardians in order to protect his son.
  But when Wade's bodyguard is attacked and nearly killed, agency owner Olivia Edwards must step in and fill the gap. Olivia's skills are about to be tested to the limit as Wade's stalker moves from leaving innocent gifts at his door to threatening those closest to him. Olivia has the feeling that she's next on the list. And to complicate things even further, she realizes that her heart may be in as much danger as her client.”

My personal Rating-

I might be a bit biased because I’m interested in Olivia’s profession, but I enjoyed “Always Watching”. However, I didn’t enjoy the blood or the stalker or the “oh my g—“ (it was cut off like that, but still made me frown.), so I can’t give it a higher rating. This was my first book by this author, and as far as suspense goes, I liked it. I totally called who the stalker was and, quite honestly, was proud when it was revealed who it was. ;) I really liked Olivia and can relate to her in some ways. I also really liked Charlie and hope he’ll be in more of the books! The cover is very clean and nice for the plot, I hope to continue the series as they come out.

See y’all on Friday with a new review!
