Safe from Harm by Kate SeRine

3.0

In the second book in the Protect and Serve series we have Elle McCoy, a successful attorney, who is now in danger because of a case she won.Gabe Dawson is the deputy sheriff and he can't really understand why Elle rebuffs him at every turn, not that it deters him..
Jeb, the primary antagonist, is filled with bitter anger and hate.He will stop at nothing to destroy the Dawson family whom he blames for his misfortunes and now that Elle has won the case, she too is a target.He has a cult of followers willingly following and spreading his propaganda which makes him even more dangerous.
When Gabe is shot trying to protect Elle from the bullet, both their lives are in danger.They'll have to work together to finally put the terrorist behind bars.Will Elle let Gabe in and give him a chance and will they be able to come out this safely?

I love Kate Serine's Transplanted Tales series and though I hadn't read the first book in the Protect and Serve series, I really enjoyed reading Safe From Harm.Both Ellie and Gabe were great protagonists.Ellie was fierce,intelligent and stubborn.She has alwas had a thing for Gabe, but since she assumes that he isn't the type to be tied down, she is always sarcastic and prickly with him.Gabe also gives back as good as he gets.
He hasn't ever wanted anything more as much as he wants Elle now.But how will he get this obstinate woman to see the other side of him?
As they start spending more and more time togethet, they grow closer.The chemistry between them was well done!Character development could also be seen.I personally loved the Dawson family.Gabe's brothers added humor to the plot.At some points, the plot tended to get stagnant, but the suspense kept me riveted.
All in all, this was a pretty good read and you should definitely give this one a try if you're looking for a romantic suspense novel. :)
