BOOK REVIEW- Mountain Bodyguard (Harlequin Intrigue Book 1651) by Cassie Miles

Caring for six children was supposed to be the toughest part
of Lexie DeMille's new job.     

































 Caring for six children was supposed to be the toughest part of Lexie DeMille's new job.
Then their massive Aspen residence was attacked and it was clear someone had a very personal vendetta to settle. A job that required TST Security and its best bodyguard, Mason Steele. His focus should only have been on securing the remote mountain hideaway. But unraveling Lexie's secrets became critical to the case and to his own private agenda. Under a veneer of domesticity was a marine brat with more survival skills than your average nanny. Something about her had driven her assailant into a violent rage. And that same thing blurred the parameters of Mason's detail—and would test his every survival instinct.  AMAZON  3.5 stars

I was somewhat disappointed with this book.  It started out strong and Lexie was a strong character, with multi-talents.   There was action in the book along with secrets and the thrill of the mysteries.  But..it felt like it kind of stalled a bit over half-way through the book.  It did pick up later which I did like but I kind of guessed the "who" and "where" before the author exposed the information.  
I also liked Mason but felt that he was kind of not that deeply drawn.  Sure we got to see that he is attracted to Lexie, and we got to see that he is skilled and a little bit of his family background.  But I felt like there was more about Lexie than there was about him.  And that makes it kind of hard to be drawn into "their" story.
