Answers For Julie (The Bodyguards of L.A. County #9) by author Cate Beauman is a romantic mystery in the Bodyguards series. Julie Keller is a delightful young woman who enjoys her home, Christmas, and the sweet memories of Nana. Although Nana is not really Julie's grandmother, she was like family and lived next door to Julie. Nana was actually the grandmother of Chase Rider, who had spent his summers at Nana's so he has a little bit of a past with Julie.
Chase is an FBI agent from Washington who has three weeks to prepare the old house for sale. So, Julie and Chase are crossing paths and sometimes mixing their signals of attraction during the first half of the book. I thought the story started a little slow, and there is more romance than mystery. I liked the characters and the story is an interesting one. Imagine Julie's confusion when she begins to suspect her life is not as she had always believed after a stranger in the grocery store approaches her and calls her Ally.
I won't post spoilers, but it is an easy to read story with good characters, but there is some strong language. I have read other Cate Beauman books which I enjoyed.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
