Musings
I am a huge fan of Susanne Matthews. Once
I read Echoes of the Past, I was hooked, and searched for her entire
back list and read all of them. All For Love is a bit of a departure from her
usual writing style. Normally she writes sensual romantic suspense. This book
is still a romantic suspense, but it has overtones of an inspirational story.
While this is not my favorite book of hers, I did enjoy it.
Andrew Gregory Robertson is an author of hugely
successful spy thrillers. When his daughter is almost killed in a car explosion
that does kill her mother, a movie star and his ex-girlfriend, he turns to his
cousin to protect Sheena. When Olivia Cummings is assigned as his daughter’s bodyguard,
because she was once an Olympian skier and his daughter wants to try out for
the team, he is immediately attracted to her. He will not find it hard to
become her husband in name only to provide cover for his daughter. His problem
will be keeping it in name only.
Olivia hasn’t skied in five years, ever since the
avalanche that claimed the life of her fiancée and cousin, leaving Olivia
alive. Her guilt over not perishing with them is almost more than she can bear.
Will Olivia be able to maintain her distance from
her new husband and protect her charge from the maniac who is determined to end
her young life, or will she give into her feelings for the man she has fantasized
over for years?
While the overtones of an inspirational are definitely
in the book, it is not overdone at all. It is refreshing to read a romantic
suspense that does not have a sexually driven romance. The romance between Greg
and Olivia focuses on their growing love and plays done anything sexual, but
the romance is very fulfilling, and I enjoyed it a great deal.
Olivia is a great character. She is fearless in her
desire to protect Sheena. She has strong ties to her family and it’s obvious
that her loved ones are central to her life. Although she never planned to sky
again, to protect her charge, she faces her fear.
While Greg has never had a close relationship to his
daughter, his love for her come through loud and clear. He will do whatever is
needed to ensure Sheena’s safety, even if it means putting his own life in
danger. It’s refreshing to have a male character in tune with his spirituality
for a change, a man whose honor is part of his very being.
I am glad I
have the opportunity to read All for Love. If you enjoy a tale with a sweet romance
and a touch of faith intermingled in, yet with plenty of action and suspense,
then you will enjoy this great book. Happy reading!
