I'll Be Your Shelter

Tragedy has no boundaries, especially for Criminal Defense Attorney, Jillian Newman. First, three years ago, she lost her beloved son in a horrendous car accident; then, her husband disgraced her with an immediate divorce and publicly blamed her for their son's death. Now, Jillian just witnessed a gruesome murder in her office parking garage. Frightened beyond belief, Jillian barely escapes before the gunmen tried to kill her. And, then days later, an assassination attempt was made on her life which caused Jillian to go into police protective custody until the murderers are captured. Harrison Blake is the lead detective in the murder case that Jillian witnessed. Unaware of the identity of the eyewitness, Harrison is stunned to discover the person is to be the ex-wife of his arch-rival, District Attorney Josh Williams. If that wasn't enough, desire immediately courses through Harrison's body the moment he sees her mahogany beauty. After a lethal threat is made against Jillian's life, Harrison is forced to take urgent action by taking her to a safe house. It is during this time while alone with her on a daily basis that Harrison's feelings for Jillian grow stronger by the minute until he cannot ignore them any longer. How will Jillian respond to Harrison's advances? And, more importantly, will Harrison be able to keep Jillian out of harm's way? I was completely taken with I'll Be Your Shelter. This book is utterly, a superb page-turner. It contains an, on the edge of your seat suspenseful plot with so many twists and turns that I was totally fascinated from start to finish. And, I will openly admit that until author, Giselle Carmichael, revealed certain key factors, I never would have guessed the conclusion of this fantastic story. In addition to the thrilling mystery storyline, this novel also has enclosed a romantic love story between an interracial couple that I couldn't help but adore. The chemistry between Jillian and Harrison is electrifying. The passion between them is hot and is presented in non-erotic, sensational manner. So, if you are a huge fan of interracial romantic suspense, then this is definitely not one to miss! Nikita Steele Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Great Read!

I ordered this book after reading some of the online reviews-even though I disagree with some of them-most did not lead me to buy a disappointing book. The book is not at all predictable; nor do I see the leading lady character as a "shrew". By far, this is the best interracial romance novel I've read-and I have read several. I could not put this book down. The writing was clear and "fresh" and definitely captivates the reader's attention-I was up until the wee hours of the morning reading this book and finished it in less than 24 hours. It gets the five-star rating from me and I would love to read other works by the same author.

By far one of THE BEST romance novels...

... After reading a rather disappointing novel (At Last by Lisa Riley), I was pleasantly surprised and floored by this novel.My attention was caught and helf on to untill the very last page, when I had to admit it was over. I was left wanting more. The characters were just perfect. They were flawed but they were also strong and courageous. I loved Harrison's character. He was strong emotionally and physically .He was also secure in himself and confident in the amazing love her shared and cherished with Jillian. Jillian is an incredible modern, smart, and independent career woman who has been through alot of pain and turmoil. What I liked about her is that she is independent and secure within herself, she is comfortable with herself and has a good and strong self-esteem. too often, writers create characters where the heroine has a negative self-esteem and seems weak and emotionally dependent upon the hero.Everywoman should be so lucky to find a man who will "be her shelter" and love her unconditionally the way Harrison does. Miss Carmichael should stand and take a bow. She did a FANTASTIC job creating this wonderful love story filled with suspense that kept you on your toes, throughout the novel. She did this with such an amazing clarity and talent. The love scenes were AMAZING and they tastefully conveyed the love between Harrison and Jillian. The ending was very fulfilling and satisfying.. This is a MUST read.... : )

Full of suspense

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was full of suspense, romance, sex and action. The interracial theme was not hidden. They knew that there would be problems but together, it was something that the couple could handle. I hope that this author writes more books like this. I read this book in one night.
