As Chris’s feelings for him start to show, Hugh struggles to keep his distance.

Little does he know, he’s the one who will break her heart…and turn the murder investigation upside down.

You Can't Resista Dirty Book Amazon Review
3.5 Stars
Safe Guard is the continuation of the DeLuca family novels. Here we follow Hugh and Chrissy's story.
Hugh is the eldest and understandably the over-protective type having 5 younger siblings. These are traits that run deep in all the DeLuca men but especially in Hugh. He met Chrissy when his brother Finn was laid up in hospital with a broken leg and has felt drawn to her ever since. These feelings however are in no way one sided and Chrissy cannot resist the tall good looking DeLuca male who turns her whole body to jelly with one glance.

For me this is a very fast paced book. The passage of time moves rather quickly as does Hugh and Chrissy's relationship. You can tell both are playing their cards very close to their chests as both have been let down in the past, although both have an optimistic outlook on life. The story is sweet and easy to follow, there could have been a bit more details given about certain characters, and a few lose ends could have been tied up before the end, but all in all I enjoyed the story.

I was surprised at the turn taken by Hugh and his sudden problem with Chrissy's job. It is understandable that there would be a certain amount of trepidation on his part given the dangerous nature of being in law enforcement, however Hugh takes a giant leap into irrational territory, and acts like a complete jerk. He never seemed to have a problem with Chrissy's job before and that should never change. To Hugh, his intention were good and came from the heart, but we all know what road was paved with good intentions.

Chrissy is a strong independent woman who is used to looking after herself and therefore is outraged by some of the actions that Hugh takes. She will not be controlled by anybody.

I was provided an ARC of this novel to provide an honest review
