This book could definitely be read as a standalone. Some if the events regarding Doc and Keelee happened in the first book, but they were detailed enough in this book so that a reader would not be confused.

I initially did not care for Keelee. I did grow to like her in this book. I kept thinking of Tori as being the oldest. I did not realize that Keelee was older.

I liked Adam and Keelee together. Adam had some things that occurred in his past that i never suspected. Clint always seemed a bit off to me. I thought it was sad that Keelee felt so desperate she was going to settle for Clint. Especially when there were so many glaring red flags about him.

The majority of this book was about Adam and Keelee reconnecting. This book had humor, romance, heat, danger, and suspense. I enjoyed the banter between Drake and Dixon. I liked the way Christian was enveloped into the group of Guardians and their families.

I was very surprised when all of the darkness and secrets started coming to light. It never ceased to amaze me how one person's evil could cause the ripple effects that would damage so many lives.

I was glad that so many people in addition to Adam and Keelee were able to get their HEA or at least the start of their HEA. 3.5 stars. I wonder if the mysterious Mr. Smith will have his own story?

My Favourite of the series so far, really enjoyed this story. So happy Adam finally got his memory back and went and back to South Dakota and Keelee. Although not a lot of action overall the fact Keelee and Adam finally get together and confess their feelings kind of made up for that, but don't get me wrong it isn't all plain sailing and made for a really enjoyable, hot yet sweet read.

Best one so far!

This is the third entry in the Guardians series and by far the one I found the most engrossing. The main characters Adam and Keelee are flawed people who find their way back to each other. Reading the first two books in the series gives the reader a better appreciation for this though there is a recap at the start of the book with some new insight that gets everyone up to speed.

I particularly liked how this issue touches on some significant and timely issues but not in a trite way. The danger this time doesn't come from international terrorists or drug cartels but rather from insidious evil much more common and closer to home. I also was intrigued by some hints dropped that I am hoping are foreshadowing for a future book. I'm really sucked in to Ms. Michaels' world right now and if she is leading where I think one story may be going I will be very impressed with that story on top of this one.

Great addition to the series.

This is a really great action-packed, sweet and incredibly romantic romantic suspense novel. What I will say is that if you don’t like an insecure heroine, this might not be for you.

The premise is that Black Ops Team Doctor, Adam, suffered serious injury and lost an eye and his recent memory when his team was ambushed in Afghanistan. Now back in America, he has a second chance at love with rancher Keelee, whose heart he smashed before his tragic mission.

This is a great addition to the series. I think it can sort of be read as a standalone but I think the series reads better with context. One thing that really sells this book as a standalone is the fact that about a quarter of the book is rehashing events that you might already have read in Books 1 and 2- yes it’s done from a different perspective (Adam and Keelee’s perspective this time as main characters) but it was a bit repetitive especially as I’m currently binging the series and so just read these things recently. If you were starting with this book, this repetition probably wouldn’t bother you. This is a great series that I highly recommend. I think the experience is just miles richer if you start from book 1.
