Body Guard / Green Fire
BODY GUARD
Being saddled with a paid bodyguard for two weeks in Hawaii was not Sabrina's idea of a dream vacation. But her mother took the kidnapping threats seriously, so, like it or not, she was stuck with Jake Devlin as surely as if he were glue. Jake's job was to guard Sabrina's body with his own. And, as she discovered to her alarm, he was a man who took his work seriously. On a secluded moonlit balcony with Jake's hard, lean body covering hers, Sabrina wondered, with a thrill of dangerous passion, who would protect her from her bodyguard.
GREEN FIRE
Flint Cottrell had been driven all his life by a restlessness that didn't allow any peace. He chased legends and treasures, wrote about them, sold his stories to magazines when he could, did odd jobs when he couldn't. But the night Rani Garroway opened her door, he knew he'd found that elusive "something" he'd been searching for.
Rani stared at the handsome, thoroughly rain-soaked stranger, who looked like a battle-scarred alley cat demanding shelter. As his exotic green eyes locked with hers, she realized that he could set her safe, risk-free life on fire - green fire - and the flames were already licking at her heart.

Author: Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Stephanie James
Body Guard
First published: 1983
Length: 176 pages
Setting: Contemporary. Hawaii.
Sex: Explicit. Reasonably frequent. Overwrought
Hero: Martial Arts teacher and Bodyguard.
Heroine: Librarian
Two different people, on vacation, in absolute, close proximity.
Unfortunately, the sex scenes are overwrought, the story is predictable, the HEA rushed. Perhaps expected for the length/publisher/sub-genre; it doesn't help me enjoy it though. A good enough story.
Green Fire
First published: 1986
Length: 171 pages
Setting: Contemporary.
Sex: Explicit. Reasonably frequent.
Hero: Jack-of-all-trades come myth debunker
Heroine: Librarian
I kept thinking this is a cross between a Criminal Minds episode and an Old West Romance.
Straightforward story but vaguely creepy Hero.
Of it's time.

I did not like this book, I don't like how it ended and Jake Devlin, it dont not like how his charater was built. I can't believe she she then fall in love with him and he proposed and she said yes It was with that they only met each other less then a couple of days ago and now they both in love and marriage it involved. I won't be reading this book again, it was a waste of my time.

I think I should stop reading the Stephanie James books. Barely memorable. It's just okay.
