The Soldier and the Bodyguard by RJ Scott
4.0
Note: An ARC was provided by the author.
I seriously enjoyed this return to Ellery! Like quite a few of RJ Scott's other series, the Ellery Mountain series is like the gift that keeps on giving. I loved the bond that JC and Adrian shared with each other, and I wouldn't have been surprised if they were soul mates. JC was Adrian's person, and vice-versa, and they'd already been through a great deal, the most traumatizing incident being the reason why they were at the Ellery Center. The author did a fantastic job weaving the romance with the more suspenseful elements. I honestly couldn't pin down who I thought the villain was until the last quarter of the book, yet I was still taken aback when the motivations for their actions were brought to light. Having some of the guys from the Sanctuary series now has me eager to get to know them better, so I'll be checking those books out once time permits. All in all, The Soldier and the Bodyguard had everything I enjoy in an RJ Scott story, and I'm handing it 4.5 stars.
