I was captured right from the start! Sam is the easiest character to be sympathetic with. She has had a very devastating experience, followed by some revelations in her life, that have caused her to simply "remake" herself since Zach last saw her. She has managed to make herself into a very endearing and lovable person--but has made several enemies along the way....including some in the local police department. So.....when she is in desparte need of help, the police are not willing to give her the help. She is forced to turn to people she knew in the past who are capable of protecting her....but it may cost her her heart.....again. I was very intrigued by the whole story. I would rate this a 5/5. Definately worth going and getting for a nice, easy read

I didn't finish this one. Because while I liked the hero I just could not stand the heroine. She's holding a grudge for this guy leaving her after 3 weeks of just sex ( no relationship, just sex ) to go into the military. She's upset that when she said I love you after this 3 weeks of just sex that he didn't say it back. And that he didn't keep in contact even though they weren't actually dating, and his excuse for being in a branch where contact with the outside world was pretty much non-existent wasn't acceptible for her. Just wanted to smack her and say "hey princess, get out of fantasy land and into the real world."

You know those books that make you want to read everything else the author has written? This is one of them. This was my first Roxanne St. Claire book, and I LOVED it! This book has everything I love about romantic suspense. Scarred veteran hero, finding his way back to the woman he stupidly left behind before being deployed while figuring out how to live after being injured in war and leaving the military. Add in a spunky journalist twin sister who wants to start a PI/bodyguard business and a cast of hot cousins, and bam! Youve got me hooked :) Seriously though, I don't do it justice, just read it and you'll probably love it too. Oh, and read the short prequel on the author's website, Taken to the Edge, before you read Edge of Sight. Adds a lot to the story.

loved it!!!!!
A first-rate whodunit debut for Ms. St. Claires new series, The Guardian Angelinos. It is heavier on the suspense than the romance, but you will not be disappointed. The story is well defined and engaging, making this a page turner that moves quickly. Although many family members are introduced, they are easy to differentiate from each other due to Ms. St. Claires excellent writing. Each character comes alive on the page.
The ground work for the family business is being laid in this first novel and you get to know the dynamics of those relationships. A peek at just a few of the family members Vivi is Zachs twin sister: She is the one who has the brainstorm of The Guardian Angelinos. Uncle Nino is the patriarch and stabilizing force of the family. Marc and Gabe (brothers) are cousins of Vivi and Zach: Marc, former FBI; Gabe, spook. Gabes brief appearance here will have readers clamoring for his own story . and soon. I AM!
Three years ago Sammi Fairchild was left broken and sobbing. No words were exchanged then and none since. Now, she has to depend on him to keep her safe from a murderer.
Zach Angelino returned from war a scarred man; less than a man. Because of past mistakes, they continually doubt themselves, but together they learn to overcome these obstacles.
Now, one problem I did have was right after a harrowing incident for Sam and Zach. SPOILER ALERT! They are soaking wet, clothes clinging to them, they are cold, and Sam has lost her shoes and socks. They are taking refuge in a dilapidated barn. Sams feet are torn and bloody. Miraculously, Zachs wallet, with condom still intact, survived the submersion. A romantic interlude ensues. I guess gratuitous sex was needed just then.

I wont lie and tell you I knew I loved you when I got on that plane to Kuwait.
Her eyes, even lit by the candles, showed hed made a direct hit.
But I think I did by the time I landed.
