Peyton is getting ready to go on vacation when she gets a call from one of her clients. His jewelry business has just been broken into and over a million dollars in diamonds have been stolen. Peyton knows she has to go investigate because the Steele family business is on the line with this client. Grant Logan wants the job as the store’s security manager. The robbery is a nightmare for him as he has just moved his daughter to the area and needs this job. Owner Alex Armstead has informed both Peyton and Grant that they will be working together to find out who the thief is and if they don’t find the diamonds then neither of them will be employed by him. Before Alex can explain some of his actions he is involved in an accident that puts him in the hospital in a coma. Can Grant and Peyton figure out who has the diamonds and who may be threatening the Armstead family? But most of all can Grant and Peyton work together to solve the crime with the obvious attraction they are feeling towards each other every time they are in the same room?
I’m absolutely loving the Steele Guardians series! Nerves of Steele definitely didn’t disappoint in the excitement/suspense department. I loved the characters as well. Grant is kind and patient and definitely a loving father to his daughter. I liked Peyton’s epiphany’s that she had about where she saw her life going and her ability to adjust her expectations after struggling it out with the Lord. Author Susan Sleeman knows how to make the spiritual “ah ha” moments that speak to the characters hearts, personal and touching to the readers hearts as well. An exciting book that keeps the reader turning the pages with expectation and excitement!
