I wish i had known in advance that this was the second book to a series. I felt totally lost and couldn't connect with the characters.

This follows the same couple from the last book. Their relationship hasn't really moved forward with both of them having reservations about it since she's pretty much a kick butt woman. But they are so cute together. The drama though. Kept me on my toes. And I totally loved this book through and through.

This is a decent book.  It is well written but isn't one I will be reading again in the future.

Sabotage by Jessica Linden    
Reviewed Xtina

	If I have to describe this book in one word it would be the word: Like. There was just a lot to like about the book, the big things and little things about the book. I mean where do I begin on what I liked about this book?
	One thing I really appreciated about Sabotage was how both Abbie and Jonathan are able to keep their professional identities but still maintain their relationship. Being a secret agent and congressman can no doubt be time consuming careers but it endears me to the couple that they can make time for each other. Let’s just be honest here but in this time and age often times it feels we are unable to have both a romantic relationship along with the winning career. Often times we feel we can have one but not both. So in all honesty I feel when couples split due to one or both are concentrating on their careers is utter BS. Their downtime together whether they are having lunch at a restaurant or lounging around watching a Star Wars marathon at home was all the more endearing. 
	Another element I really enjoyed about the book was how the story just kept you on your toes about who the bad guy or girl is and why they are bent on revenge on Abbie. You also get glimpses of what’s going on in the head of the villain as they are implementing their actions in their ultimate plan. Sometimes it’s interesting to get in the minds on the villain to see them mentally justify the evil actions they are doing. It really was a fun journey following the mind of the villain but also Abbie following close on the villains heels to put a stop to the evil plan to screw over her love, Jonathan. 
	The thing is considering that the book was not very long, the character development and growth was satisfactory as well. Abbie is able to hand over the reins and control to others trusting them. While I can understand Jonathan’s feelings about being the man wanting to protect his woman even though she is very capable, he respects her fighting abilities. 
	A story that keeps you engaged and on your toes, positive career and relationship aspects, great character development, soft romantic scenes and the very best good triumphing over evil; for such a shorter book this book packs an awesome punch. Highly recommend and highly enjoyed.

Abbie is trained to protect.  At one time, she was hired to protect Congressman Jonathan Lassiter.  Then, they became a couple.  
 
In this book, her job puts him in danger.  She is ready to protect, but his ego gets in the way.  Does he have the skills to protect them both?

I love the characters of this book.  The dialogue is real.  Of course, I always love having strong female characters in the lead.  This is one to read.

So so fun! Sabotage was a super quick read and one I couldn't put down as Abbie and Jonathan both find themselves dealing with some suspicious happenings and someone trying to discredit them. Seems someone has it out for them and, whew, it's sure testing their relationship something fierce. 

Sabotage is a follow up with the same couple from book ones, Bodyguard, where our lovely heroine was actually the hero's bodyguard when he was on the campaign trail. It was neat checking in with these two and seeing where they were relationship-wise. He's ready for more but feeling a little off balance since she's the badass in the relationship and had been his bodyguard. And Abbie's totally in love with him but a spot squirrely when it comes to moving things forward. So a little hitch. lol But they're nice together. Have some steam, have the romance and love. *sigh* I liked seeing them deal with their individual hang ups.

And then the drama. Whew! Someone's definitely targeting them. Setting him up to look like a thief that's made off with campaign funds and taunting Abbie as well. It kept me curious and engaged trying to piece things together with them and figure out who was behind their cyber attacks. I didn't quite figure it all out and love that. And loved the ending and seeing these two weather the storm and come out stronger because of it.  

Linden definitely delivered with a bite sized read that hooked me right off the bat and left me fully satisfied.

I liked this installment of Jonathan and Abbie's story.  Taking place a few months after the end of BODYGUARD, we get a closer look at their relationship.  The struggles they have with being who they are personally and professionally while having a relationship with one another.  This made me connect with the characters and get to understand them a little more.

The hacker storyline was interested and kept my attention.  There was a lot of details and things that happened in 140 pages, but the author did a great job of not making me feel overwhelmed or rushed.

A great second installment.  I hope to see more of this couple.
