I have read many, many, books in my lifetime, some good and some not so good, but the Protectors Sweet Caroline's Keeper is one of the very good. The plot keeps you interested from cover to cover, the main characters Caroline and Wolfe are realistic in their actions and the sub characters are also good, I would definately buy this book (I have) and it is a keeper.

I Especially liked the Preacher who was like a brother to Caroline and Caroline's assistant who loved him, they were very colorful characters and the rich almost brother and debutant girlfriend as well, I was kept in suspense until almost the end about the main bad guy which was great as usually I can figure it out before that, so if you like a good romance and mystery this is definately the book to buy.

Another very good book in the protectors series. Very riveting. Have read the other books in this series. Looking forward to reading Matt's story and later on Ellen's story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting premise, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Protectors: Sweet Caroline's Keeper (Paperback)

I was intrigued after the opening chapter as there was an interesting twist in the hero's (David) relationship with the heroine (Caroline) that isn't detailed on the back cover blurb. Let's just say David did something that impacted the heroine's life greatly. It was certainly nice to encounter a hero who actually had a flaw (besides the usual Type A, aggressive personality), one who wasn't just a white knight riding to the rescue.

However, despite the promising start, the book became very repetitive. David constantly repeated his need to "protect Caroline." It seemed like every chapter ended with his vow that he'd stand between Caroline and anyone out to hurt her. And it felt like David and Caroline rehashed in their minds the night Caroline's stepfather died every 4-5 pages . Halfway through I thought, "OK, I GET that David MUST protect her, and I GET that he is tormented about the night of the murder." It's one thing if each reminiscence is different and allows you more insight into the character. But after the 1st few, nothing new was gained and I felt like it was just filler.

Despite that flaw, the book was a nice, formulaic read. I enjoyed the relationship between the 2 characters and the 2 smaller side stories were interesting enough without being intrusive to the main storyline. The epilogue wrapped up everyone's story a bit too neatly but didn't effect the book greatly.
