I can always count on a Gayle Wilson book to give me wonderful characters, an engaging love story and a suspense I can't put down. This one is no different. I stayed up WAY too late last night in order to finish it. If you want a great blend of romance and suspense, you NEED this book.

Gayle Wilson has once again created a wonderful story. She is a born storyteller. I recommend this book 100%!

Gayle Wilson has done it again! I love her "Men of Mystery" series, and this latest installment is no exception. My heart goes out to Grey--where are guys like these in real life? Ms. Wilson's heroes are to die-for!

I'm so glad someone else said it! I need characters I like and identify with for a story to work. I didn't like these people. They didn't like themselves. I don't know why they liked each other. I never knew meeting someone who is down on themselves all the time was attractive.

Don't get me wrong. I like characters who feel pain and emotion. I might not have been in the mood to indulge these two. Right before this I read a new Superromance where the hero was in a wheelchair and the heroine was an Olympic runner who might never run again. They had REAL problems and fears and did about ten times less moping than these two. I rolled my eyes when Gray's past was revealed. I thought he must have killed a million people for all his bellyaching. And Valerie? A man done you wrong ten years ago and not even that bad? Move on already!

Maybe it caught me in the wrong mood. I will think twice before buying this writer's work again.

I've read several of Gayle Wilson's books over the past couple of years, both her Intrigues and her Harlequin Historicals, and I've yet to be disappointed. Her writing style is nearly flawless; her attention to detail unsurpassed; and while she writes some of the steamiest love scenes in the genre, the physical aspects of her characters' attraction to each other never take a back seat to the compelling emotional tension that makes for a far more satisfying read, as far as this reader is concerned.

HER PRIVATE BODYGUARD does have a far simpler plotline than many other of her Intrigues, the suspense element carrying less weight than the romance. Since I'm not a huge romantic suspense fan, anyway -- in fact, Ms. Wilson is one of the few RS authors I read -- that didn't bother me. I was far more "intrigued" by the slowly unfolding relationship between the reluctant heiress, Valerie Beaufort, and her even more reluctant bodyguard, Grey Sellers. Neither of these were "people" people, which made their learning to trust all the more interesting to watch. A different kind of book for Ms. Wilson, I think, but no less enjoyable than her more plot-heavy stories.

As usual Gayle Wilson has penned an unforgettable story with characters so real they almost walk off the pages. I'm so glad she's continued this series! Poignant romance, heartstopping suspense, and a sexy hero--who could ask for more? Thanks, Gayle, for a truly wonderful book.

Gayle Wilson has yet again written a book that is filled with sexual tension and danger. Her characters pull you into their lives, letting you feel the emotions of falling in love with someone for the first time. Yet, while you are feeling this love, you also experience fear for the characters and wonder at how this AMAZING author is going to ever get the hero and heroine together.

Gayle Wilson has once again created a MASTERPIECE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read this book whether you have read the other 19 books she has written or not. I feel she has created another award winning story with Her Private Bodyguard. Anyone who picks it up and reads it will be glad that they did....

I was looking forward to a new story about the Phoenix Brotherhood. The new Men of mystery book really wasn't one. It was a good story. I just really liked how the first books had so much about secret agents and government intrigue. I was sad to find this one didn't. The parts with Hawk and the others felt tacked on make it feel like part of the same series. I love secret agent books. I hope we see more of those stories soon.

Ordinarily I am not a fan of Intrigues, but Gayle Wilson has converted me. She has written a novel packed with sexual tension. Ms. Wilson writes with maturity and insight and brings poignancy to the story by featuring a heroine who is handicapped. More power to her! Hooray for Ms. Wilson! I highly recommend this book. It's a keeper!

Her Private Bodyguard, by Gayle Wilson, is just the kind of book I love. Packed with angst! You can never get too much angst. Then there's the action, the ranch setting, and the wonderfully heartwarming love story. Gayle Wilson comes back to her Men of Mystery with another tough as nails hero who proves his true worth to the woman who wins his heart.
