5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've read from this author - terrific & hot!, September 13, 2005

By	Girl on a hill (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This is the first full-length book by Cindy Gerard that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. I love her strong, independent female charater, Eve, and the strong yet vulnerable McCain. The chemistry between the two was excellent, and was enhanced by their history of a brief affair when they were 18. The story was intriguing as these two private investigators (with heroic pasts) try to find a missing heiress and solve a mystery. There are lots of great twists and turns and many interesting characters. The secondary story about Tiffany is well done. I like that this book is part of a series about a family; you can definitely see some groundwork for future stories about Eve's brothers.

I will definitely go out and buy the first in this "Bodyguards" series, and also the new one coming out in December. If you enjoy S. Brockmann and N. Roberts mystery/romance, you'll like this!

4.0 out of 5 stars A sexy, exciting page turner, October 26, 2005

By	Dawnie "cosmocitygirl" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

Well, Cindy has done it again. If you liked her other books from the bodyguard series you will be very happy with this book. The only thing I was slightly annoyed by was the fact that Tyler, the male hero, kept saving Eve's butt. I mean she is suppose to be this extremely well trained ex-FBI agent/private detective and she was constintely being saved by an ex-cop/private detective. You would think that maybe she would save his or her own butt at least once but that is the only complaint I have. Everything else in the book was hot, sexy, and exciting; I was done with it in 2 days.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Limit on action and suspense, August 30, 2005

By	Marilyn Puett (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Spoiled rich girl Tiffany Clayborne had not only been Eve Garrett's first Secret Service assignment, she was the reason Eve had resigned from the agency. But Eve, part of E.D.E.N. Securites, had agreed to meet her after midnight in a sleazy part of town. Eve was attacked and left for dead along with a cryptic message: You're dead. You just don't know it yet.

This confirmed to Eve that Tiffany wasn't just a runaway. She was in real trouble. But as Eve continues her search, she comes face to face with Tyler "Mac" McClain, her high school crush who'd stolen her virtue and broken her heart.

A former cop, Mac now owned a PI firm and had been hired by Tiffany's father. He's surprised to run into Eve and even more surprised that the girl he'd dreamed about handled a gun with such expertise and savvy. Surprise #3 comes with another attempt on Eve's life.

Soon Mac joins Eve in her belief that Tiffany is more than a rich kid on a wild spree and together they track her across the country, dodging bad guys in a race against time.

TO THE LIMIT is filled with action and suspense, oozes passion and will keep you glued to your seat as Mac and Eve follow a trail of clues while they fight the sparks that fly between them. Eve is every man's dream girl and Mac is the stuff of beefcake posters.

Cindy Gerard has gone from being a great writer of category romance to being a remarkable writer of romantic suspense. This reviewer can't wait for TO THE BRINK, the next in this series about E.D.E.N. Securities.
