Her One and Only: Porter Family #4


 HerOneandOnlyPin2

Gray Fowler, star NFL tight end, is being pursued by a stalker, so his team hires a protection agency to keep Gray under the watch of a bodyguard at all times. When Gray meets Dru Porter, an agent assigned to him, he's indignant. How can an attractive young female half his size possibly protect him?








HerOneandOnlyPin1 

But Dru's a former Marine, an expert markswoman, and a black belt. She's also ferociously determined to uncover the identity of Gray's stalker. And she's just as determined to avoid any kind of romantic attachment between herself and the rugged football player with the mysterious past. But the closer they get to finding the stalker, the closer they grow to each other. As the danger rises, can Dru and Gray entrust their hearts--and their lives--to one another?

My Thoughts:

The first thing I want to say about this book is that this is a very addicting series!!
Yep, that means I loved this story. 

In Undeniably Yours we met Bo Porter who was the manager of Whispering Creek Ranch which is a thoroughbred racehorse farm located in Texas. 
In Meant to Be Mine we met Ty Prorter who is a professional bull rider that traveled a lot. 
   In a Love Like Ours we met former marine Jake Porter who is a trainer at Whispering Creek.
In Her One and Only we will meet Dru Porter both the baby and only girl in the Porter family.  Dru grew up trying her best to keep up with her big brothers and I'm certain to some extent making herself a pest to the boys.  I think Dru has always had a need to prove to everyone she was as capable at anything as her brothers.  She is a former marine and national pistol shooting champion.  Currently she works for Sutton Securities as a protection agent or bodyguard, but she really hates that word.  She works for Anthony Sutton has been on desk duty due to an injury that occurred last year during an assignment.  The team she's a part of has a new assignment to protect NFL Dallas Mustang's player Gray Fowler after he received threatening letters.   Just one problem to this assignment, Gray is somewhat insulted for such a small woman to be his bodyguard, but the general manager, Brian Morris, insists.  
Of course there's a lot more to Gray than being a big football star. He supports a lot of charities, but his favorite is Grace Street which is a non-profit that offers outreach programs for abused women and children.  He did not have an ideal childhood and I'm sure this has a great impact on why this charity appeals so much to him.  Now there's only 2 things that he likes about Dru, first her beauty and second it was entertaining to rile her.  Of course Dru's first thoughts when she met him were:

"He's trouble.  Of all the words in the English language, those were the first two that slid into her mind."  
  Of course she and her family were die hard Cowboys fans so that could also enter into the equation.  Dru is determined to keep Gray safe and find the stalker which will hopefully earn back the Anthony Sutton's trust after the disaster of last year.  Her brothers know her much better than she thinks and needless to say the Porter brothers always protect what is there's.  As the important factors surface and the threats escalate which draws Dru closer to Gray and an attraction develops that could put both of their lives at risk.  Dru sees that her presence is putting Gray in more danger and steps aside as his agent, but unknowingly continues to pursue the stalker. 
This is a spectacular read!  It has elements of mystery, suspense, humor and romance.  The plot is steady and flows effortlessly.  It will pull the reader in and keep them turning the pages until the very end.  The complex and engaging characters show emotions that are raw and real and lead them to be endearing.  Of course the southern charm and romantic tension add so much to this story also. A perfect ending to this series.
Even though this story is part of a series, this book is definitely a stand alone story.  The author gives just enough background that reading the previous books is not necessary to read this book, but with that being said I would highly recommend reading them also because they are wonderful stories also.  
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery, suspense or a good, clean romance.
