I love the chance to learn more about a character that I've met briefly in another book! Alana Flores was a secondary character in a Christmas anthology and now she has her chance to shine! Alana's hired to protect a little girl who's become the target of kidnappers, and she's soon involved in a "don't forget to breathe" adventure filled with mystery and intrigue!

I've loved the previous Elite Guardians novels so I was excited to read about the protection agency that's located in Savannah, Georgia. Alana is an amazing bodyguard but she isn't immune from the doubts that often plague working mothers. Is she doing her best for her son Rocco? Author Kate Angelo paints a poignant picture of the bond shared by Alana and her diabetic son, along with the struggles of a widowed father and his autistic daughter. And then, there's the growing attraction between Alana and Cash. Is a blended family a possibility?

This is a great introduction to the Elite Guardians Savannah series! I recommend Vanishing Legacy to all who enjoy Christian romantic suspense.

What a thrilling ride from the first page to the last! I love Lynette Eason’s books, so when she teamed up with Kate Angelo for Vanishing Legacy, the first book in new Elite Guardians: Savannah series, I had to read it. It was fantastic! The suspense was nonstop as Elite Guardian, former LAPD underwater dive detective, & single mom Alana Flores risks her life to protect a sweet little girl someone is bent on kidnapping.

Alana is looking for a new start with her eleven year old diabetic son Rocco. She believes Savannah, Georgia will provide a more stable environment. However when she finds a young autistic girl hiding in her shed, she and Rocco’s world is about to get turned upside down.

Dr. Cash Thomas is a former navy, trauma surgeon trying to manage his busy ER schedule with raising his special needs daughter Penny after his wife’s death. When he learns she’s missing in a traumatic way, he does everything he can to find her. Luckily, she’s found safe and sound with Alana Flores. But, Penny’s not out of danger yet and Cash turns to the attractive, sympathetic body guard to help keep his daughter safe.

From dangerous car chases, to thrilling hot air balloon rides, to underwater discoveries, this book is one suspenseful moment after another as Alana tries to discover who wants to kidnap Penny and why. I loved the chemistry between Cash and Alana. Both are fantastic single parents trying their best to raise children with complicated needs. Neither one was looking for love yet they’re a perfect match.

I loved the depth of their characters and how much Alana overcame in her past. Both have strong faith which was beautifully woven into the story. I loved Rocco and Penny and how well they’re written. Rocco becomes a kind of instant big brother to Penny & has the magic touch when it comes to knowing how to help her when she’s struggling to communicate.

The mystery kept me guessing with several moving parts and subplots that all come together for an exciting climax. The motives for Penny’s kidnapping were surprising and unique. It’s a must read for romantic suspense fans! I’m excited to read more about these strong Elite Guardian women! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author.

It’s another fun, action-packed romantic suspense from Kate Angelo and Lynette Eason. I loved the setting of Savannah for this new series and the new faces. Alana was a fierce protector with a loving and tender heart. Her son Rocco was a great secondary character with his thoughtful and brilliant ways. Cash was a memorable hero - a little helpless in ways of protection but fully capable as a trauma surgeon and such a fantastic father to Penny. The action was fast-paced and the plot held plenty of twists and turns. The sweet friendship that Rocco and Penny develop added depth to the emotional layers of the story.

This series promises to be another fun expansion of the Elite Guardians. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Sunrise Publishing via JustRead Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own. ( )
