"Direct Threat" by Kimberly Rose Johnson is a book that will keep you reading and then will make you want to read the other two books in the series.
I recommend this book to readers that likes mystery with romance mixed in and twists that makes you think you know who the bad guy is and than does a twist.
If you would like a story with a 10 year old who is headstrong and a matchmaker than this book is also for you!
I received a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Kimberly
Direct Threatis the first book in the Protection Inc. series. The series follows a group of bodyguards who are all either former cops or military police. They are on location in Lincoln City on the Oregon coast in book one, but their business is based out of Seattle.I’ve been to Lincoln City more times than I can remember, but I took a research trip there with my husband, specifically for this book.
While in Lincoln City my husband and I walked the same beach my characters walk. I studied the access points to the cliffside homes from the vantage point of the beach, as this was an important aspect in the story. We also visited the ice cream shop mentioned in the book. You’ll understand significance of the shop when you read the story.
My writing career has taken some twists and turns. When I first began writing in 2006 I wrote romantic suspense. Then switched over to writing contemporary romance, which turned out to be the genre of my first contracted book and many more after that. After writing several romantic mystery novels for my publisher, I decided to dust off my romantic suspense manuscripts and publish them. Direct Threatis one of those manuscripts.
I absolutely love reading and writing suspense as well as romance, so joining the two together comes naturally for me. I hope you will read and enjoy this story.
