Posted: July 11, 2013

Ruthie Knox’s Camelot series continues in this sizzling eBook original novel, featuring two headstrong souls who bump heads—and bodies—as temptation and lust bring nothing but delicious trouble.

An accomplished lawyer and driven single mother, Ellen Callahan isn’t looking for any help. She’s doing just fine on her own. So Ellen’s more than a little peeved when her brother, an international pop star, hires a security guard to protect her from a prying press that will stop at nothing to dig up dirt on him. But when the tanned and toned Caleb Clark shows up at her door, Ellen might just have to plead the fifth.

Back home after a deployment in Iraq and looking for work as a civilian, Caleb signs on as Ellen’s bodyguard. After combat in the hot desert sun, this job should be a breeze. But guarding the willful beauty is harder than he imagined—and Caleb can’t resist the temptation to mix business with pleasure. With their desires growing more undeniable by the day, Ellen and Caleb give in to an evening of steamy passion. But will they ever be able to share more than just a one-night stand?

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: How to Misbehave, Flirting with Disaster, and About Last Night.

MY REVIEW:

Along Came Trouble is the first in the Camelot series that I read. It of course appealed to me because of the whole serviceman returning home theme. Well I have to say this was such a fun story I did not want to put it down. It caught me right at the beginning and did not let me go until the end. Caleb is a Son returning home after a tour of duty to his country overseas several times in fact he thought it would be his career. But, when his father becomes ill and he knows his mother will not be able to handle things on her own then he does what he knows is right, he comes home. His family is not the average family it is a little out there when it comes to their belief system and after being in the army and being told what to do and how to do it and giving orders and expecting them to be done it is hard not to see them done that way. By family or anyone else. Upon arriving home he starts his own security firm and he is having to secure an old and dear friend and her next door neighbor and the sister of the celebrity that the paparazzi want a picture of as well as Ellen his sister and Carly (the supposed ex-girlfriend) of Jamie the singing superstar. So, when Caleb arrives at Ellen's where a photographer is stomping on Ellen's plants and she is pouring tea on his head and he is getting ready to take action against her, Caleb takes over. Of course Ellen says she could have handled it but she and Caleb know better but that just pisses Ellen off because Caleb doesn't know her background and what she has gone through to be self-sufficient. After running off the rest of the paparazzi he gets down to business telling her Jamie her brother hired him and wants him to secure the area for her, Carly and Henry (her son who he calls Hank and it pisses her off.) He doesn't know she hates bodyguards. So, the answer is no! This starts the dance of Ellen and Caleb. Not to mention this has stories within stories.
