Impending Strike

About the Book:

Elite Guardian Charlie Lee knows that there is no future with the woman he loves—fellow Guardian Lizzie Tremaine. And he gets it. Lizzie’s a single mom focused on protecting her daughter, and Charlie’s got his own baggage anyway. It’s easier, and safer, to keep things the way they are.

Then, the unthinkable happens. While Charlie is undercover, he’s seriously injured…and his memory of the past four years is gone. But maybe it’s the fresh start he didn’t know he longed for.

And now he’s getting too close…

Lizzie cares for Charlie, but she’s lost all the men she’s ever loved and can’t risk her heart again. Still, she’s determined to protect Charlie, and help him discover who attacked him—and why.

But in the process, she begins to discover an unburdened, impossible-to-resist version of the man she knows. And—along with the details of his attack—Charlie seems to have forgotten their reasons for keeping things platonic. Suddenly, all of their self-imposed rules are gone, and Lizzie needs things to get back to normal, stat.

It’s her heart…or his life.

Problem is, the closer Charlie gets to uncovering his memories, the closer he gets to trouble. What will protecting Charlie cost Lizzie?

Another edge-of-your-seat Elite Guardian thriller!

My Review: 

Charlie Lee is in the wrong place at the wrong time as he overhears a conversation that he wasn’t supposed to while on an undercover assignment. His partner, Lizzie Tremaine is given the assignment of protecting him while the Elite Guardian Team tries to unravel the reason for Charlie’s brutal attack. Charlie’s amnesia does not help determine what the plot might be, only that it is going to be catastrophic.

Lizzie appears to be one tough team member, but as she begins to see a different side of Charlie, she wonders how she will be able to keep her feelings for him in check. The relational tension between the two of them was one that made the story interesting as I wondered how things were going to work out for them. 

The villain was ruthless and someone who I never suspected. With several false trails I wonder if you will be able to discover who is behind the evil plot…

With action, romance, and intrigue, Impending Strike will keep you turning the pages until the end. I received a copy of the book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
