Guard My Heart by Weston Parker

I would consider GUARD MY HEART a departure from Weston Parker’s writing in the romance department, but that’s not a negative.  This story had an impeccable devotion to the US Coast Guard training environment.  Parker did a service to an often overlooked branch of the military and while I enjoyed the romance, I gained a greater appreciation for his versatility as a writer and for the responsibilities of the USCG.

Santiago and Layla are instructor and cadet creating that tension and fear of discovery of a forbidden romance. Layla’s dad was something of an ominous factor as Santiago’s former superior.  So what we have here is a steamy, age gap, forbidden romance set in the search and rescue training for the Coast Guard.

You will find the dynamic with other cadets and instructors interesting and wonder how this can possibly avoid a catastrophic result for both career-wise.
