Product Description
The daughter of a wealthy businessman, Jillian Kincaid grew up with bodyguards shadowing her every move-and she hated it. Now a TV anchorwoman, she refuses to let another hired thug follow her around. Not even when she begins to receive terrifying death threats. Not even when the bodyguard is the darkly seductive Nolan Garrett...
Trained in Special Ops, bodyguard Nolan Garrett has been hired by Jillian's father to keep her out of danger. But it's clear from the start that Jillian isn't going to make his job easy. Far from the spoiled princess he expected, Jillian is tough, independent, and totally sexy. And she's fighting him every step of the way.
As Jillian's stalker raises the stakes, Nolan must keep her close if he wants to keep her alive. But being so close can only turn up the heat that's been simmering between them-a heat that could explode into passion at any moment...

The Edge,
By
This review is from: To the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
The Edge (Bodyguard #1) by Cindy Gerard; before I even began to read this book I had preconceived expectations on what the plot would be like for a book with this title. Many of my expectations came true but Cindy has the ability to capture your imagination and fast past action made me unable to put it down. I truly enjoyed the book with her subtle references to the different classes in our modern society.

AND SO BEGINS THE BODYGUARD SERIES,

This review is from: To the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
Jillian Kincaid is a TV anchor and the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Because of her father she grew up in the continual presence of bodyguards and hated it. Now when she begins to receive death threats Jillian is more then a little hesitant to except the bodyguard/hired thug that her father has secured for her.Recently retired special Ops soldier Nolan Garrett has only been out for three months when his brothers and sister (of E.D.E.N security Inc) grow tired of his continuous drinking and depression and force him to take on one of their clients. He doesn't want the case and Jillian sure as hell doesn't want him in her apartment and shadowing her every move. However Jillian soon proves not to be the spoiled princess Nolan was expecting and despite himself he starts to care even if she is super frustrating. Why won't she just leave him alone, why do they have to talk about...stuff? And how is it that she's not repelled by his back off, tough guy (I am an island) image? As Jillian's stalker gets closer and events turn deadly Nolan is willing to lay his life on the line and now possibly his heart too. Gah I just love these tortured heroes. After 5-star-ing every book in Cindy Gerard's Black Ops series I was very excited to go back and read her Bodyguard series which I'd somehow missed. However in saying that I think my love for her BOI's may have caused me to go into this with (unrealistically) high expectations because while this was good it also never quite hit the great factor that I'd been expecting. TO THE EDGE is definitely a slow burning romance And while I appreciated tough guy, bodyguard Nolan's "don't get involved with a client" ethics and especially his "you don't want to get involved with someone as damaged as me" (love those tortured heroes) I reached the point with them where I was like, enough, get it on already. Stop with the meaningful looks and double talk and just get it out of your systems. That said once the sex (finally) got thrown in the mix and the stalker upped their game things really took off. Gerard managed to keep me guessing about the stalkers identity with several well placed suspects and Nolan and Jillian's chemistry was smoking hot. I also loved the fact that Jillian wasn't your typical spoiled damsel in distress and let's face it she had potential to go that way. Instead she fought for her man and managed to keep her head above, TSTL. Then we have Nathan's adorable (I don't need anyone but really I do) guilt complex, PTSD issues and that fantabulous ending on the boat, sigh. I really don't have anything to complain about here and I'll definitely be returning for the rest of this series and a croquet game or two from the looks of things.

Some serious twists,
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
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. Reviewed by Deatri King-Bey of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful

A Very Strong Suspense Read That Entertains!!!,
By Kristi Ahlers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
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. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Great start to Bodyguards Series,
By Girl on a hill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To the Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
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!! |
