Review: More than a Threat


Book Review: More than a Threat, by Kennedy Mitchell, 2 stars




Former Army Ranger Casey Weston had three rules he required all clients under his protection to follow: don’t go anywhere alone, do as he says, and don’t fall for him. Until Kate. She challenged his need for control the moment he stepped across the threshold of her Dallas townhome. One night fateful changed it all, when the cartel followed through on their threat and Casey took a life to save hers.

Dr. Kate Wheeler didn’t want or need the stacked, broody bodyguard her father hired. It was one death threat, not a big deal—right? At first they hated each other, unable to find common ground. But the long days and nights and the ever-present threat changed her perception of the mysterious man, making it harder to fight the temptation with each heated glance and tender caress.

If Casey makes Kate the exception to his one and only rule—never fall for a client—can he still protect her from the insistent threat, or will their growing attraction put more than his job on the line?

Review: Despite some raving reviews on Amazon, I'm sad to day this book did not work for me. 

Kate is not convincing as a doctor. Casey is not convincing as a bodyguard. And overall the supposed threats to Kate's life are also not all that convincing. In addition I really didn't like to have Kate lusting after Casey but getting involved at the same time with someone else from work.

I finished reading More than a Threat just because I never like to leave any book unfinished, but it wasn't easy and while there are one or two places where the story wasn't so bad, I can't bring myself to recommend it.

Happy readings!
