Some serious twists, November 16, 2005
Growing up, Jillian Kincaid had an ever present shadow--a body guard. Her father, a high profile publishing mogul, feared someone would try to harm his baby girl. For years Jillian felt like a captive, and now that she's grown, she fights to maintain her freedom. When she starts receiving threatening phone calls at the television station where she's an anchorwoman and at home, her father hires bodyguard Nolan Garret to protect his baby. Jillian doesn't want the incredibly sexy Nolan invading her space or filling her mind with lust filled dreams, but she's scared.
Former Army Ranger Nolan Garret had only been home from the armed forces for three months when his brother came to him asking a favor. Some "princess" needed protecting, and her father only wanted the best; grudgingly, Nolan agreed to help. Demons from his days as a Ranger haunt his dreams and soon the dreams include Jillian. Nolan has already lost too many who were close to him, thus creates a mental image of Jillian being a weak, spoiled-rotten, self-centered, daddy's girl. Self-assured, compassionate, hardworking Jillian soon shatters that image and Nolan finds himself falling for her.
Just when I was afraid TO THE EDGE would hit a sagging middle, Cindy Gerard threw in a twist I hadn't expected and revved up the speed. Toward the end when I was in the swing of things, thinking the novel would wind down, Ms. Gerard threw in another twist that hyped me up again. Watching Jillian and Nolan fight their attraction for each other while they searched for the identity of the stalker was sexual tension at the highest. And when they finally got together, well... read the book.

A Very Strong Suspense Read That Entertains!!!, May 16, 2005
Ms. Gerard has started her "Bodyguards" series with a fine story that will keep the reader firmly engaged. This is truly a fine read but readers should be aware that although this is billed as a "romantic suspense" the romance is slowly built, but whoooee is the chemistry between Nolan and Jillian hot. As a result romance readers may feel a bit cheated. This is truly a complex story and one that should be picked up.
Jillian Kincaid is a rich girl who has made it on her own merits as a newscaster. She is also being stalked by someone that wants her dead. Her father a well known publisher decides to take matters into his own hands and hires a bodyguard to keep Jillian safe. Enter ex-Ranger Nolan Garrett.
Nolan Garrett is strong, tough, and haunted. He feels that he has let down too many people over the course of his military career and is dumbfounded when his brother comes to him requesting his help with a case. since family is important Nolan takes the case. What he expects Jillian to be is totally not what she is. She's strong, gusty, and scared to death. She also speaks to the wounded man that he is. Will he be able to keep her safe from not only himself but the stalker?
Again, this was a fast paced read that will enthrall readers from the get go. Ms. Gerard has created a rather nasty evil person that drives the story with little effort. This is one series that I'm looking forward to reading.

Great start to Bodyguards Series, September 15, 2005
I read this book (the 1st in the Bodyguards series) AFTER the 2nd book in the series. I have to say, I really love them both... and actually like this one better. This was a great suspense story involving a high-society news reporter name Jillian, a mysterious stalker, and (what else?) a BODYGUARD named Nolan. Nolan is a great character... with a gorgeous body, a bit of baggage from being in the Army Rangers, and a wonderful heart. I loved watching the animosity between Nolan and Jillian turn into sensual tension and then, of course, love. And, of course, this lug-head Nolan fights it as he feels he is not good enough for her. THIS BOOK IS A REAL PAGE TURNER!!
I also appreciate how Cindy Gerard creates a set of intriguing siblings who we can then follow into the other books in this series. The sibs, whose names start with the letters E, D, E, N (Ethan, Dallas, Eve, and Nolan) are part of a very loving family, but each is very different from the others. I can't wait to read more in this series!!
