Always Looking For Her

Bethany Campbell is such a mermaid, always appearing and disappearing and coming up in another place, and always kind of teasing you. I read all I can find by her because she is not predictable.

Great romantic suspense

Private Detective Corbett calls his friend Hawkshaw to ask a favor. An anonymous assailant is stalking Corbett's client and the signs seem to indicate the individual is about to explode, placing Kate Kanady and her young son Charlie in grave danger. Corbett wants Hawkshaw to hide the widow and her child until the danger passes. Reluctantly, Hawkshaw agrees because he owes Corbett for saving his life during their Secret Service days together. Hawkshaw meets Kate and Charlie at the Key West Airport. He then drives them to his isolated home at Cobin Keys. A frightened but brave Kate knows this is a temporary haven until she can resettle elsewhere. However, Charlie and Hawkshaw immediately become pals as the youngster worships the older person as if he was his father. Kate begins to fall in love with her recalcitrant host as she watches his patience with Charlie. Still, he wants to reconcile with his ex-wife and Kate has to deal with a stalker and the future of her child. Readers rightfully hold Bethany Campbell in high esteem for her tremendous romantic suspense dramas. Her latest entry into the sub-genre, THE GUARDIAN, strengthens her standing even as it appears to be another best seller. The story line is filled with stratospheric levels of suspense as Ms. Campbell manages to cleverly place her heroine in a soup stirred by a stalker seemingly of mythological proportions. The blossoming of the love between the lead protagonists feels warm even as both have their doubts. Finally, the wonderful relationship between the two males adds depth because Charlie's attention deficit disorder seem trifle to Hawkshaw. This story validates the belief that Ms. Campbell has become synonymous with the best in romantic suspense.Harriet Klausner
