Sterling Vance is kinda dull and boring. In the last book, Sterling and Jax were like a good comedy team...Jax was the funny guy to Sterling's "straight man" character. They could be the new "New Odd Couple." Sterling by himself? Stuffy, stodgy and not really interesting enough for his own book, IMO.
Angelina was just...stupid. She was squarely in TSTL territory. Needless to say, I didn't like her.
There was a little bit of a danger element, which always makes these stories better, more exciting...but not enough to counteract the personalities of the main characters.
The best part of the story (to me) was the fact that Chase had Sterling's back when the trouble came down. Yeah.
I usually love Taryn Quinn's books, but this series? Nah.
Shielding His Baby
by Taryn Quinn
She’s too young for him. Pregnant. And irresistible.
Bodyguard Sterling Vance’s job becomes personal when the daughter of a friend, Angelina McFee, admits she’s being stalked by her ex.
Angelina is knocked up and oh yeah, temporarily without a place to live. Then her daddy’s seemingly conservative friend offers to help with her stalker problem...by moving her into his home so he can guard her and her unborn baby.
With his body.
Only problem with that scenario? Angelina wants Sterling to use his body all right, but in a carnal fashion not suitable for his prim and proper lifestyle.
Until she messages him incognito on a dating site and discovers Sterling can get down and dirty in ways she never imagined. Tie optional.
But falling for him? That’s not optional at all.
Sterling wants to build a family with Angelina and longs to be a father to her baby. But the woman he loves is in danger and the secrets she’s keeping—both in and out of bed—may jeopardize both her and her child’s lives.
Author’s note: Shielding His Baby has a HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger!
*Shielding His Baby was previously published as Proving His Worth by Cari Quinn through Samhain Publishing in 2014. This edition has a new cover and has been lightly re-edited.
