[Release Blitz + Review] Guarded Deputy by Fabiola Francisco


GUARDED DEPUTY by Fabiola Francisco is AVAILABLE NOW!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

What should you do when you accidentally call 911 and a deputy shows up at your apartment? Definitely NOT accuse him of being a stripper. 

It never fails that I always get into awkward situations like accusing the deputy at my front door of being a stripper and then asking if he’s going to arrest me when he shows up at school the next day…to pick up his nephew. 

Nate seems unamused by my antics, but when we start to work together, we’re forced to spend time with one another. 

Between getting stuck in a closet together, secret hallway meetings, and him taking care of me, I catch a glimpse of the man beneath the gruff exterior. And when he shows off his dimples, my heart flutters. 

But I need a man who can be fully open with me, and Nate's as guarded as the prison in Alcatraz.

MY REVIEW.

4.5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cute Couple.

I see another small town romance series in my future. As a huge fan of the small town genre, Fabiola Francisco is off to a great start with Guarded Deputy. Not only are we introduced to our main characters, but a handful of supporting characters to round out that small town feel.

We meet Nate and Lizzie, him the guarded deputy if you will and she is a first grade teacher at Nate’s nephew’s school. While both characters are written solid, I thought Lizzie’s quirky-ness was a bit over the top at times. Sure she was there to make up for Nate, who was lacking a sense of humor, however at times Lizzie was down right scary with her antics.

As much as this is a small town romance, it’s also an opposites attract. Lizze isn’t lucky in love per say, but she isn’t dead set against it like Nate. He’s easy on the eyes, however his heart is going to be one tough nut for Lizzie to crack. Nate has some pretty heavy baggage from his past that is keeping him from moving forward in any sort of way.

The book is light hearted with a tinge of heavy with Nate’s backstory. These two would make a cute couple if they could get their act together. Like I said, this book is a great start to the series, as we get to know quite a few interesting characters along the way.
