Nerves of Steele

GIVEAWAY

SLEEMAN, SUSAN

NERVES OF STEELE

One mysterious break-in...

As a middle child, Peyton Steele has always needed to find a way to standout. But coming to the attention of the head of security for her client's jewelry store when millions of dollars in jewels go missing is not the way to do it. She thinks the state-of-the-art cameras she'd recently had installed will make it easy to find the thief, but she's stunned when the video doesn't show the theft taking place.

Propels her into a level of danger she's never known.

The lack of video evidence is not acceptable to store security manager and former detective, Grant Logan. He's given up his law enforcement career to spend more time with his daughter and he's up for a promotion as security manager for the entire jewelry chain. To gain the job that will give his young daughter everything he wants for her, he has to prove his abilities by finding the thief at all costs. He'll out everything on the line to gain this new job, but how far will he go? Despite his growing interesting Peyton, will he risk both of their lives to succeed?

My Review:

It's time for me to do my Susan Sleeman happy dance because I get more than a tad shy of giddy whenever one of her books releases. :-) I love the way this author builds suspense while incorporating witty banter and family shenanigans -- in this case that would be the extended Steele family. Sisters and cousins run the show but they receive plenty of backup from parents and grandparents too. 

Like Sleeman's previous series, Nighthawk Security (eep, be prepared for some cameos from that clan), Steele Guardians celebrates the legacy of family while delivering topnotch suspense with a healthy side of faith. An all round winning combination for this reader!

This time it's middle child Peyton who is put through the paces as she grapples with a puzzling locked room mystery. And while she might be the security expert whose company installed the state-of-the-art camera equipment that didn't pick up a thing, she's forced to work with the store's security manager, Grant Logan, an ex-detective out to prove himself to his new employer. Woooo, talk about a great set up for some fireworks to go off. It's very much a case of opposites attract and I love the way they systematically work through all the stumbling blocks strewn in their happily ever after path. Never mind that pesky robbery that needs solving. :-)

High action, intense intrigue and thought provoking inspirational elements make this another five star read. Absolutely love this series and can't wait for the release of Forged in Steele this summer! (And don't you just love the clever titles in this series? So well thought out. I love that kind of attention to detail in my novels.)

I listened to the audible edition of this book narrated by Whitney Deckhouse and enjoyed every thrilling second.
