I have really been enjoying Harlequin Intrigue books lately and this one did not disappoint. This one could be a stand alone book because I really liked it and I did not know it was the last book in the series. This book was unique because both of the characters are a bit older. They have both lost a spouse and just have a little bit of that life experience that comes out in the details of the story. There is not a lot of over the top romance drama. The drama comes in the form of the mystery suspense woven into the plot.

If you are looking for a hot cop story, then you have found your book. Thomas, the main character, and his whole family are involved in law enforcement. Jane, our heroine, is a nurse who is in WITSEC and she is trying to protect herself and those around her. Clearly, she has experienced a tragedy or she would not be in WITSEC.

It’s a sweet, flirty romance. Thomas and Jane want each other, but they are mature enough not to jump into anything and they both carry some baggage. Thomas is afraid that he is too old for Jane, but she does not even consider the age difference. I just think a hot romance is what most readers are looking for (I definitely am!)

I like the setting. I don’t really know much about Kansas City, so I feel like the details in the setting made me a bit more familiar with areas that I have never been too. This book is a fast paced suspense story with a bit of romance.

Jane is under the witness protection and currently working at as a nurse for Detective Thomas's father. In the meantime Thomas can find can try to find the people responsible for the shoot out at his daughters wedding. When a series of accident occur Jane is worried she is found by the badge man. The cop killer and her late husband was a victim and she managed to be the only surviving person to see him alive.

I really enjoyed this book. In case you didn't know it's connected to a series, this book is the fourth. I'm currently looking at the list now and it looks like I've previously read 2 of the others books but have missed the third so I'll have to remedy that after writing this review. Anyways if you are a fan of interesting characters, plenty of actions that has a bit of twist and turns, and throw in a little steam then you'll this book. (It's that way for the previous books as well. I really do recommend you check out those books before you read this even if its a stand alone.) I loved the characters and how I was curious on to who was the killer if it really was the badge man who was after Jane or if it had to do the gun man at Thomas's daughters wedding. It was pretty fast paced and I was pretty hooked till the very end. Overall a pretty great book, I recommend you lovely readers to check it out.

This story left me with a big smile on my face, what a wonderful ending to the series! This truly is 'character driven romantic suspense' because here the protagonist really are the ones to move the plot on, to shine with their integrity, knowledge, and experience.
I enjoyed the mature hero and heroine, they have depth, tone, and spirits that are easy to connect with, they are the kind of people you want to surround yourself with, people you want to cheer for.
Thomas Watson is a protector. He holds his family together, has been doing it ever since his wife died 20 years ago. He charmed me completely, I admit. I am enamored with his personality, his kindness, his caring, protective nature. And Thomas and Jane Boyle are adorable together. Jane is an alpha woman but there is enough strength in Thomas to take it and love it when she takes a command. They respect and admire each other, and not just physically, the connection they have goes much deeper, even though the passion and desire between them were tangible.
The suspense builds continuously through the tale, elevating the tension and dread with every twist in the story. The malice attacks are continues, and as part of the story is told by the culprits' point of view, their thoughts and actions take the creepy form...
A marvelous, entertaining, and suspenseful ending to the series that does not require you to read the first three books to love the events and characters of Protection Detail, but I do recommend the whole series!

Long awaited answers are here with the latest from Julie Miller! We’ve been enjoying the intrigue surrounding the Watson family for several books now in The Precinct: Bachelors in Blue series and finally we get to the bottom of who has been targeting their family … but not without another huge mystery coming along for the ride! Great book! I have enjoyed each and every one of the books showcasing the Watson kids finding their happily ever afters, and now we get the rare treat of the parent being the hero finding love! I just loved that!

Detective Lieutenant Thomas Watson was shocked to learn his family was being targeted when gunfire broke out at his daughter’s wedding a few months ago. Still fighting to get back to normal after the fall-out, the family is supporting his Dad in every way possible after his injury, including hiring private nurse Jane Boyle to be in charge of his care.

Unbeknownst to them, Jane is in witness protection, and the danger from her past just might be coming to visit her again … with the help of the Watson family enemy! Will they be able to rally this family of cops together to keep her safe … and will he give in to the temptation to act on the feelings she’s stirring up in him?

I love this story!

This is not your average story- the main character is in her late 30s and the hero is in his 50s. While age is gently addressed, the quiet respect and passion between the two makes for heart-warming reading.

The plot is a little contrived (who has TWO unrelated murderers after them at the same time), but interesting none-the-less.

Five stars! Now how can I get my hands on the other books in this serie?
