About the author
Beverly Barton
305 books710 followersBeverly Marie Inman was born on 23 December 1946 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, USA. Daughter of Doris Marie and Walter D. Inman Jr. A born romantic, she fell in love with The Beauty and the Beast epic at an early age, when her grandfather bought her an illustrated copy of the famous fairy tale. Even before she learned to read and write, her vivid imagination created magical words and fabulous characters inside her mind. Movies fascinated her, and by the time she was seven she was rewriting the movies she saw on television and at the local theater to give them all happy endings. By the age of nine she'd penned her first novel. She wrote short stories, TV scripts, poetry, and novels throughout high school and into college.
After her marriage to Billy Ray Beaver, the "love of her life", and the births of her two children, Beverly continued to be a voracious reader and a devoted moviegoer, but she put her writing aspirations on hold until her children were teenagers. At every age of their lives, from infancy to adulthood, the children had been a true joy to her. She devoted herself to her husband and children and considered herself one of the many selfless "supermoms" who put their family's needs first. She believed she had had it all, just not all at the same time.
In her mid-30s, Beverly returned to her former passion — writing — as a hobby, but before 40, she decided that she wanted to make writing a full-time career. And when she rediscovered an old dream — of becoming a published writer — no one was more supportive of her aspirations than her family. Her children were her greatest cheerleaders and her husband was her biggest supporter. After writing over 40 books and receiving numerous awards and nominations, as well as having books on the USA Today list and consistently on the Waldenbooks bestseller list, her career was indeed a dream come true. Having a fantastic family and fabulous friends, as well as making a living doing the one thing she had loved doing since childhood, she considered herself truly blessed. Beverly died suddenly of heart failure on 21 April 2011.

เมื่อแจ๊ค หนุ่มเทคซัสถูกจ้างให้ไปเป็นบอดี้การ์ดให้กับนักพูดปากกรรไกร เรื่องราวที่แม้จะเป็นไปตามสูตรของชุดผู้พิทักษ์ ก็ยังสนุกสนานน่าติดตาม อาจไม่ใช่เล่มที่ดีที่สุดในชุด แต่ก็ไม่ผิดหวังหรอกนะคะถ้าจะเสียเวลาสักนิดตามหาในตลาดหนังสือมือสอง แจ๊คเป็นพระเอกไม่กี่คนของเบฟเวอรี่ที่เป็นหนุ่มเจ้าเสน่ห์ พระเอกส่วนใหญ่ของเธอจะเป็นชนิดเข้มและเงียบ แจ๊กเป็นความแตกต่างที่น่าอ่าน บุคลิกผ่อนคลายสบายสบายของเขาเข้ากันได้ดีกับความซีเรียสจริงจังของเพ็ก

I dislike the woman since the start. She just so defensive of men and that's including Jack.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed reading this. The characters were not perfect, physically or personality-wise, but and I think this is what differentiates a truly good story from an ok one is that the hero and heroine fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. They belong together and I cannot see them with anyone else.
