Archer

Reynolds Protective, Book 1

By: Dr. Rebecca Sharp

Narrated by: Blake Lockheart, Stella Hunter

From best-selling romantic suspense author, Dr. Rebecca Sharp, comes a sexy and thrilling small-town bodyguard romance....

Keira McKenna has lived her life protected—that’s what happens when your father testifies against Boston’s Irish mob.

After years of move after move, Witness Protection settled her in Wyoming. Unfortunately, while Keira embraced her new small-town life, her larger-than-life past wouldn’t stay away. And with it, the one man she’d never forget.

Four years ago, one massive mistake made Archer Reynolds resign from Boston’s police force. Moving home, he opened Reynolds Protective Group—an elite bodyguard agency—to atone for his failure. But when a series of crimes occur in town, he comes face-to-face with the woman whose name was apparently as fake as her death.

Archer can’t believe Kiera is alive, more beautiful—and fiery—than he remembered and still in danger.

The police think the crimes were random, but Archer knows the mob has found Keira. He is determined to protect her, but after her last lie, Keira isn’t sure she can trust him with the truth. And as desire mounts, so does danger. And once Archer uncovers the truth about her past, he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe—and make her his.

Good Romantic Suspense

Keira’s father was an enforcer for the Irish mob until he turned informant for the FBI. Four years after Keira “died” under Archer’s protection while he was still in the Boston PD, they remeet in Wyoming. However, the Irish somehow found out that she is alive. This time Archer and Keira stopped denying the attraction between each other. Archer is a romantic suspense, second chance romance, bodyguard romance, mafia subplot romance. I love that the author used a real life event as a plot point in this book. The romance is fantastic and the suspense plot is really good.

Great plot and listen!

Narration was great, although the Irish accents could have been a bit better.
Plot-line was easy to follow and kept you guessing. Not too short and not too long either .

Great book ignore some of the language

Highly recommend this book and the series. Only suggestion is tone down on the “c” word.

Overall I Loved it! A lot of romance but that’s the only downside.

Some like the over the top romance and sex scenes I was slightly annoyed by it. But it had a great story line and character development.

Great Plot!!

This book is well written, and it’s more for the adult, mature readers, but Dr. Sharp definitely has a way with descriptions. I can’t wait to read the other three books in the series.

Loved

This story is romantic, sexy and easy to get lost in. I just found the author and she quickly became one of my favorites. The narration is wonderful and their voices just pull you in.

2nd Chance Romantic Suspense

Rebecca Sharp has been on my TBR for ages and I kept putting her books off and I have no idea why! I finally picked up Archer and I had a great time with it. This is a romantic suspense, age gap, bodyguard, romance and I really enjoyed it.
Kiera has spent a lot of her life in witness protection ever since her father testified against the Irish Mob. After years of moving from place to place, she feels relatively safe and has finally settled in Wyoming. When a series of crimes start happening in the small town she is confronted with her past, specifically Archer Reynolds.
Archer believed that Kiera was dead and had been punishing himself for years about it. When he sees her again he cannot help the attraction he still has for her and the need to keep her safe.
This was an interesting and unique romance with second-chance vibes and I would recommend it. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series which follows one of Archers brothers.

Checked every box

This has twist and turns, emotional rollercoaster, steamy, passionate moments. It is worth the read and addicting.

My first by this author

Wow! I am very impressed with this book. I don't write reviews very often, but this one just blew me away. It has a great storyline and great steamy (HOT!!) sexy times. It also, has great emotional depth and that gives all the feels. I will definitely continue reading books by this author!

Excellent steamy romantic suspense!

~*~ Audiobook Review ~*~ Archer is a romantic suspense that had me hooked from beginning to end. The underlying mystery that drives Kiera's life on the run unwinds with plenty of twists and turns and a surprise that kept me listening to the very end. Their connection, their separation, and when they come together are beautiful and like static electricity. That tattoo scene - HAWT!!!

Narration by Blake Lockheart and Stella Hunter was excellent! I really enjoyed both performances of all of the characters. Their timing is great with all of the suspense, the mystery, the steam, and the romance!
