A brush with death had sent Remy Sinclair home to recuperate, giving the FBI agent plenty of time to think about settling down. He thought he'd found the perfect potential wife in his temporary nurse, Susannah Duncan. She was everything he wanted, but Remy knew she was hiding something — a secret he was determined to uncover.
With her brother's life in jeopardy, Susannah had no choice but to become Remy's nurse — and spy on him for his would-be killers. She believed she could maintain an all-business relationship with Remy, until he started talking marriage! And until she realized how easily she could fall for the man she was supposed to destroy.
Award-winning and bestselling author, international traveler, feted at a Hollywood premiere . . .
All true . . . but my regular life is a whole lot more routine. Deal with the five big puppers who share our house, babysit our grandson, battle the jungle that is our yard, pray for summer in winter and dream of winter in summer, and hunker down at the computer -- that's my real life.
I grew up in Oklahoma and had the fun of living in Georgia, Alabama, California and the Carolinas, thanks to my husband's Navy career. When he retired, we came home to Oklahoma and have lived in the same house for seventeen years. That's a real "Wow!" for someone used to the nomadic military life.
Writing was the perfect career for all that moving. Have computer, will travel. I've set books, or part of them, in every state we've lived in and been inspired by every place I've ever been. I've now written somewhere around 80 books, and I think I've got only about 8,000 stories left to tell.
My biggest hobby is starting new projects -- starting. Not completing. I'm still not done with the cross-stitched Army seal I started when our son joined out of high school. He did tours in Georgia, Colorado, Korea, Italy, Iraq, Afghanistan and Louisiana, and has been out for a few years. So I'm a little slow.
I like to think about getting organized, painting my living room in cool beachy colors, and turning my entire five-acre yard into a garden. I also dream about having every room in my house clean at exactly the same time, but I live by the motto of the woman who taught me to quilt: A clean house is the sign of a bored woman.
This is the second in the Southern Knight series and follows the events which happen after Michael's Gift when Remy was injured.
Remy works with the FBI and his own partner in the organized crime unit betrayed him. Now, he's trying to build his bridges with his cousin and parents which he burnt years ago with his jealousy but he needs help, so he hires a cook/ nurse called Susannah who he met when he was shot.
Susannah came to New Orleans for a fresh start. She wasted four years of her life on a husband who didn't treat her well, cheated, used her money and dented her self-confidence. She wants no relationship and besides that she is suffering the consequences of her brother's action.
Sorry, now there will be a rant. God save me from bad family and siblings. Susannah's kid brother got involved with the mob and now to save him she agrees to report on Remy's going-on's. She knows it is wrong and that she may be killing him but she has to clean-up another mess of her brother.
I never warmed up to her at all. All right she had suffered through a bad marriage and yes I get sibling love, but getting in bed with the mob for that, no doing. On her part she does try to stay away from Remy, while he tries to start a relationship with her and even confesses that he wants to build a life with her but I just couldn't see why Remy fell for her.
The book was just bland, like having food without salt, I felt for the most part nothing really happened or the same thing took place over and over again.
While I love the plot of "Reguarding Remy" and the two main characters Remy and Susannah, I was disappointed that this book didn't hold my attention 100% while reading it.
