Emily is the President's daughter. Gorgeous but innocent...not the kind of woman who should get involved with me, an ex-Marine with a bad boy rep. But when a sniper opens fire, the need to protect her is stronger than anything I've ever felt. Suddenly, we're on the ground, my body covering hers. I save her life then walk away, sure that I'll never see her again.
But when a shaken Emily asks me to become her bodyguard, I can't turn her down. Now I have to wear a suit and call her ma'am when all I want to do is slam her up against the wall and tear her clothes off. Neither of us can resist...but I can't let her get close, not with what's lurking in my past. And the danger is far from over. The White House is under threat...and I'll do whatever it takes to protect the woman I've fallen for.

Saving Liberty has been on my TBR for awhile now. I love books about presidents’ daughters. I love movies about presidents’ daughters! First Daughter with Katie Holmes and Chasing Liberty were both great movies and Saving Liberty seemed to have a similar feel, except more danger. I was not disappointed!

So, Emily is the president’s daughter. In the first chapter, she is attacked in a park, surrounded by secret service people! Kian, a private security guy is there and saves her. After her ordeal, Emily wants Kian added to her security team. The sexual tension is off the charts! But, the danger is still present and Emily is determined to figure out who wanted to kill her and why. While Kian is reluctant to help her because it could put her in danger, he eventually believes her when she says she thinks there is something going on in the White House.

Kian is your classic ex military body guard. Its a bit stereotypical at times, but I still loved Kian. He has pain in his past that has shaped him into the man he is today, and how he responds to Emily is impossible not to love! Emily is smart and caring, just as you would expect from a president’s daughter. What I really liked though was that at no point did I feel like she was opaque. Emily was accessible even though I have no idea what it would be like to be the presidents daughter. I also felt that Newbury did a great job with the believability of the story. The idea of living in a police state is not so far fetched and neither are the things that the characters in this story do in order to make that happen. Newbury has taken an fictional look at what could be entirely nonfiction. She has simply added a beautiful love story to make it all feel worth it!

While this was my first book by Helena Newbury, it won’t be my last! I am totally planning on making several of her books my KU picks for the next few months!

About Helena Newbury

About Helena Newbury:

I’m a New Adult Romance author with a love of bakingly hot summer days, strawberry gelato, good coffee and interesting people. Unlike the characters in my book, I cannot dance, act or play anything (though I am substantially more flexible since I started writing Dance For Me and tried doing dancer’s stretches, so I’m hoping that something will rub off on me from each book). My first book was published in June 2013 and hit various bestseller charts across the US, UK and Canada. In September, just before the sequel came out, I became a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, at which point I fainted.

I sometimes write in a very noisy, very busy coffee shop which means I end up mainlining caffeine to keep my seat. You’ll know when this happens because I’ll still be on Twitter that night at 4am.

I love meeting and talking with other authors, traveling to new places and discovering new books. You can find me on TwitterGoodreadsGoogle+ and Facebook, or just drop me an email at helenanewburyauthor@gmail.com
