This review is from: The Commander (The Guardians) (Harlequin Superromance, No. 972) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the second book in Kay David's The Guardian series. The Commander is the leader of the SWAT team. She assess the situation, determines solutions, and plans for every possibility. Lena Mckinney is the commander. Two years ago she thought she could have it all: the job, the man, and future children. Only Lena's groom never showed up for the wedding. Lena was devestated, but she moved on and made her life all about her job. Now, it is her job to protect the man that broke her heart. Andres is back and someone wants him dead. Lena will do her job and protect him, but thats it. The problem with that is Lena never expected that someone might actually try to kill Andres, but she was wrong.

Lena and Andres still love each other-that is pretty obvious. Now they are thrown together in a very deadly situation. Andres sees this as his last chance and getting Lena back. Only to do that he must tell her the truth about why he stood her up at the wedding and why someone now wants him dead. Although the truth may be Andres' only hope it also may destroy the life of the woman he loves.

The love story between Lena and Andres is very powerful, but filled with secrets. The mystery surrounding what happened in the past and what is happening now is just as interesting as the love story. I found this book even better than the first one and can not wait to start reading the third and final book.

This review is from: The Commander (The Guardians) (Harlequin Superromance, No. 972) (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought this book and the others in the series because of her review. I don't have any details to add except the books in the trilogy are: The Negotiator, The Commander and The Listener. I loved all three and I am trying to find Kay David's back list. Thanks Jennifer for a great pick and an excellent review.
