Bayou Bodyguard

This book is also a Harlequin Intrigue book. It is the second book in the Emerald Series but each book is it's own, so you don't have to read one to read the other.

I really enjoyed the mystery that lays in this book. I liked being able to guess who the bad guy was and how it did without being caught the whole time. It was a book were I could completely picture in my head what was happening and the places the book was set in. I liked that the book had things like Voodoo in it - something that's been long forgotten. I think Jana did a good job creating the characters I just wished she made the bad person more of a character. I also thought that there wasn't that much romance in it. There was amazing suspense and mystery within the book and I loved it, but there wasn't a lot of the whole romance thing going on as the other Harlequin Intrigue books I have read. So I wish that was different, that she didn't wait so long for the romance to begin and wish there was more there than there was.

But everything else was wonderful. I would rate this book a 6.5/10 because I really did like the mystery and the unanswered questions through out the book, and I liked how she tied the book together - didn't leave any unanswered questions, and tied up all the loose ends. I would say anyone mature can read this just because there is sex in it and is basically a haunted house.

ONE REMOTE BAYOU MANSION WAS HOLDING TIGHT TO ITS SECRETS Bodyguard Brian Marcentel knew Justine Chatry had a job to do, but so did he. He'd been hired to keep her safe-- from whatever lurked behind the walls of a long-neglected mansion. And yet, the beautiful researcher insisted on helping him investigate every suspicious noise and following him through the murky bayou as he tracked down trespassers. All of that paled in comparison, though, to his greatest challenge: trying to resist her when the fear took over and she looked to him for protection. Still, no matter how fiery their attraction, there was something about this frustrating, sexy woman that seemed so familiar. But trying to penetrate her secrets was like trying to keep her out of his arms. Or out of his bed.
