Hey everyone! I'm excited to share my review for Guarding Truth by Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood, part of the Elite Guardians: Savannah series! I've really been enjoying these books, so I was excited to review this one too! Here's some more about this novel.
BLURB
The truth might destroy them both…The one thing that Former Army Ranger turned elite bodyguard Juliette Montgomery regrets is never telling fellow solider Caleb Styles her true feelings. But how could she? They were co-workers, and then the guy went and saved her life. And that turned out to be the one thing that cost them their relationship.
So Juliette has moved on, trying to forget Caleb—and her feelings.
Caleb hasn’t forgotten her either. But he has no idea she now lives in Savannah, Georgia…especially since his life is full as guardian of his niece, Ivy, after her parents were killed.
And then he discovers that his brilliant niece’s computer skills have attracted a notorious hacker group. More, when Ivy tracks the hackers, she endangers Caleb's cyber-security company.
Enter his need for the Elite Guardians.
The last—very last—person Juliette thought she’d see again is Caleb Styles, let alone be assigned to protect him. And now, suddenly, the very last thing she needs is to let her heart take over. She must protect them both—which means ignoring…or trying to ignore—the attraction between them.
Caleb never understood why Juliette walked away from him…but he can’t deny that his feelings for her never died. Except maybe she doesn’t share those feelings because her only goal seems to be protecting Ivy. And, it’s probably for the best.
After all, they need all their wits about them to find the hackers and unravel their plans.
And then they discover the hackers’ true intent—and it becomes a race against time. But it too late to protect their hearts from the truth?
An electrifying blend of suspense, chemistry, and unbreakable bonds, this romantic thriller is a must-read for fans of the Elite Guardian series.

MY REVIEW
This story was a bit of a slow start, personally, but it really hit the ground running in the second half of the book! It's explosive, really thought-provoking, and there's a few plot twists you just can't believe until it's happening. It's easy to empathize with the main characters, and the addition of Ivy really keeps the story rolling along. AND, even better, the tension between Jules and Caleb is realistic, it's not forced or mere miscommunication or something that's typically overused, it's a very legitimate problem they have to work through (on top of, you know, fighting the elite hacking group targeting Ivy). If you enjoy the Elite Guardians series, you'll definitely love this book and the others in the Guardians collections. Loved it!!
