Description
They’ve been friends since they were kids…
Musical superstar Rebel doesn’t have many people in her life she trusts. The majority have always wanted something from her; fame, money, influence. She’s learned to keep her protective walls high, but it’s made having a real life impossible. Then a funeral sends her home and into the arms of her childhood friend who protected her from danger when they were young—the only man she’s ever truly wanted.
But he’s always wanted more than friendship…
Weston is stunned when Rebel shows up to his aunt’s funeral. They’ve stayed in touch over the years but he always thought she was with someone and out of his league. When he discovers she’s single, the billionaire knows it’s time to make his move. But danger strikes before he can, and keeping her safe is the only thing that matters. The threat is closer than anyone imagined, and Weston will do whatever it takes to protect the woman who stole his heart so many years ago.

Reviews
Protecting Rebel
5By ReadingOverTV2Protecting Rebel by Katie Reus Red Stone Security series #21. Romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone. Rebel and Westin were best friends at 17. At graduation, he went into the military, she followed her dream to be a singer. Over the next ten years, rarely saw each other but stayed in touch via email letters. At the end of her current music tour, an accident proved to be a warning that wasn’t taken seriously from stalker letters. Westin saves her and decides it’s past time to tell her he’s been in love with her all along. Rebel has felt the same way but the threat is real out in the public and before they can easily be together, they need to neutralize the threat. Action packed, and sizzling attraction. I loved the relationship between Rebel and Westin. Friends to lovers troupe, sure, but first comforting like a good hug, to teasing, to steamy and the true heart mates. Expected suspense and twists, and hea. Also love Elliana for her hacking skills and in-your-face snarky attitude while at the same time fan-girling Rebel.Really enjoyed!
4By ~Mindy Lou~A story of a couple who starts out bonding as young kids, who then later had to separate to live their dreams, but always staying in touch. Never really growing apart. Their dedication to staying in each others lives even if not physically showed what a deep bond they had for each other. The book begins at the time in their lives when they were able to finally be in the same location and could finally let their feelings out. I enjoyed this couple and their story, but Weston is the reason for my love of this book. He's the alpha type I love to read about. He's the protective, take charge, but didn't run over type. He made the decision it was finally time to steer their relationship where he's wanted it for years and he wouldn't let anything get in the way. Rebel is one lucky girl!Second chances

5By ewhite2003A series that I enjoy reading and this is book 21 Rebel had dreams, of wanting a family, friends and maybe in singing. Weston a childhood friend, maybe more in time, and his aunt. Who gave Rebel the security of her home and encouragement to follow this dream. A beautiful story of how she came into believing in herself and her talents. Dreams that came as she opened to others and being loved and excepted by others. Given arc. by Net Galley and KR Press for my voluntary review and honest opinion.
