Watching Over You by Lori Foster

3.0

Okay, let me preface by saying I am a big fan of Lori Foster -- her books are an auto-buy for me and they will continue to be until her writing days are over. Foster always knows how to bring the romance, the passion, and the layered plot that too many romantic suspense books end up lacking. Her latest, Watching Over You, has all the right elements: suspense, romance, sarcastic dialogue, and interesting character dynamics. Unfortunately, though, the development of feelings between the two main characters felt a bit rushed to me. Crosby, a single dad, goes from being incredibly private and protective of his family to introducing Madison (female lead he's interested in) to his very young daughter in what seemed like a fraction of a scene; their relationship progression was fast considering Crosby's character traits. I also would've liked to see more scenes with Madison and Crosby's daughter that included dialogue between the two of them -- most of their scenes were through Crosby's eyes, not Madison's. However, the chemistry between Parrish and Silver was on-point. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenes with Parrish and Hallie, and quite frankly those were the scenes I was missing between Madison and Hallie. The ending was sweet but also moved pretty fast, and I felt like the potential for danger was a unfulfilled. I will always be a fan of Foster and while it wasn't my favorite, it was still an enjoyable read. Romantic suspense fans will find Watching Over You perfect for curling up in front of a fire with some hot chocolate and a warm blanket.
