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.

But I think I did by the time I landed.
