The Guardsman (The Olympic Peninsula Series Book 2) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Kerry Carr

The Guardsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in The Olympic Penisula series. It can be read on its own however for me personally I recommend reading the first book as the characters are linked together. This is a gripping romance that I couldn’t put down. The chemistry between our 2 main characters was intense and despite each of them having problems they couldn’t deny their connection.
I really felt for Liam. He has been through so much with him being involved in a terrorist attack and presumed dead for 3 years he has been missing. He has a lot to deal with and suffer mentally from that incident. When he is found by an investigator he agrees to move and be with his sister and her husband while he decides what to do next and how he can move forward.
Also staying at the estate is Teresa. She is going through upset of her own by fleeing a broken engagement and a mother who is trying to control every aspect of her life. When she meets Liam she is immediately attracted to him but she can’t figure out why he has taken an instant dislike to her?
All Liam sees is a rich princess who he doesn’t trust but when she starts to get very accident prone and in need of someone to look out and protect her Liam can’t stop himself from stepping into that role.
Could Teresa be the person to finally help Liam through his traumatic events of his past? Why is Teresa seemingly so accident prone, is it just the way she is or could something more sinister be working against her?
When 2 people are trying to fix themselves can they fix each other at the same time?
This is a heartwarming story and the author does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and giving them depth that makes you feel invested in their story.
