Book two of the
Elite Guardians series far outshines book one. Without Warning is Lynette Eason at her best. She has created a
believable story with endearing characters. There are several suspects with
motivations to commit the crime, and some come under suspicion again even after
having been found unlikely candidates. Eason leads you to the solution of the
mystery, but then provides a surprising twist that the reader won’t have seen
coming.
Katie Singleton,
a partner with the Elite Guardians Protection agency, is a strong,
self-confident woman. Daniel Matthews, restaurateur and client of the agency,
is a former Marine who appreciates those qualities in a woman. Being a Marine,
Matthews is more than capable of taking care of himself, but his niece insists
he hires the Elite Guardians. After all she has already lost her mom and dad;
she cannot allow anything to happen to her uncle. No one is quite sure why
Daniel Matthews is being targeted by a killer and arsonist, and no one is sure
when and how that person will strike again. Singleton and Matthews have the
skills necessary to deal with the situation, but it is their vulnerabilities
that create a bond between them.
While Eason
refers back to characters and events from book one in this series, Always Watching, it is not necessary to
have read the first book in order to understand and enjoy the second. Each book
in the series has as its main character one of the partners of the Elite
Guardians. It would appear that the author is designing them to be read in sequence
or as a stand-alone book. Something I always appreciate.

Warning for my honest opinion. I received no monetary compensation for
