Night Watch by Susan Sleeman

 

Erik was hurt by Kennedy leaving him 6 years ago. But when her sister calls and asks him to check on Kennedy he goes right over. What he finds is someone has broken into her home and Kennedy is nowhere to be found. Twice burned by women, Erik has no desire to get into a relationship with another one. Especially the one who broke his heart first. But he can't seem to help himself falling all over once he sees Kennedy. All of those old feelings rise to the surface. But does he want to risk his heart again? Kennedy has never stopped loving Erik, she never wanted to leave him like she did but her family secret would have meant living a lie and Kennedy just couldn't do that. Now she is determined above all else to find out who killed her mother and even if it hurts her heart to be around Erik she knows she needs he and his brothers help. Not just to forward the investigation, but to keep her safe. Will they resurrect their feelings for each other only to have Kennedy have to leave again? 

Erik, the baby of the Byrd clan, has never talked about why he and Kennedy broke up. I found that admirable. I liked that he got his chance to prove himself to his brothers. They all tend to baby him and it did grate on his last nerve! Also his mom was a bit more overbearing in this one but I liked how Erik realized that he was fortunate to have both parents still alive to baby him. I admired Kennedy sticking to her resolve to find out how her mom died when nobody else believed that her mom was murdered. As always, the action scenes were exciting and nerve wracking in their intensity. So that is it for the Byrd family, but there is one more book coming in the Nighthawk Security series and that is Malone's story. We got to see her a bit in this book and were introduced to some intrigue in her life so I am definitely looking forward to reading her story. I am loving how the Cold Harbor and Truth Seekers series are continuing on in these spin-off series! If you are into romantic suspense then I definitely recommend that you check these books out. You will not be disappointed I guarantee!
