Rebel might be a mega-star singer who has toured the world, but to Weston, she is still the girl next door--the girl he let get away. Despite the fact that there was distance between them, Weston saw no reason to stop protecting her.
When Rebel arrives at his aunt’s funeral, and he finds that she isn’t attached like the tabloid’s claim, Weston doesn't want to hide what he feels for her. Too bad Rebel's crazed stalker and the paparazzi are trying to get in the way of his plan. He needs to find out who is putting her in danger while seeing if she feels the same about him.
Rebel has only ever felt safe with Weston, when he protected her from her mother’s leering boyfriends and he and his aunt let her stay with them whenever she needed. She had to go to his aunt’s funeral – she and Weston were really the only family she had. When things start going crazy with a stalker and threats, Weston is still the only man Rebel trusts. Can she the mega-star find happiness with the only man she ever loved? Why not?
PROTECTING REBEL might be the 21st book in the Red Stone Security series, but it is still an amazing, heart-thumping read--to be expected when it comes to author Katie Reus. Rebel and Weston are a perfect fit as both are just plain folks. He might have more money than she did as a kid, and she is now singing in front of thousands, but neither of them has their heads in a cloud, nor did their heads swell making them obnoxious people.
The danger and intrigue will have readers flipping through the pages as quickly as possible to see what could possibly happen next. The supporting characters have a realistic ring to them as people who fit into the storyline and into their jobs perfectly. The bad guy came as a complete shock to me. I am usually pretty good at ferreting out the culprit but this time I was leaning toward the wrong person. Well done, Ms. Reus, you got me this time.
PROTECTING REBEL gives readers a well-done mystery, sweet yet steamy romance, and characters that you will find interesting and (except for one or two) likeable. All in all, this is a book you will not want to put down until you reach the end and still you might just want more.
Return to the action-packed USA Today bestselling Red Stone Security series with another red-hot book!
They’ve been friends since they were kids…
Musical superstar Rebel doesn’t have many people in her life she trusts. The majority have always wanted something from her; fame, money, influence. She’s learned to keep her protective walls high, but it’s made having a real life impossible. Then a funeral sends her home and into the arms of her childhood friend who protected her from danger when they were young—the only man she’s ever truly wanted.
But he’s always wanted more than friendship…
Weston is stunned when Rebel shows up to his aunt’s funeral. They’ve stayed in touch over the years but he always thought she was with someone and out of his league. When he discovers she’s single, the billionaire knows it’s time to make his move. But danger strikes before he can, and keeping her safe is the only thing that matters. The threat is closer than anyone imagined, and Weston will do whatever it takes to protect the woman who stole his heart so many years ago.
