My review of Protecting the Heiress by Nana Malone

Ariel Scott has just begun her own security company and has hired Jax Reynolds to work for her. Their first job requires Jax to become a "Manny" to a infant, Mayzie, whose mother, Willa, died under mysterious circumstances.

Neela Wellbrock was not expecting to be named guardian for Mayzie and she is overwhelmed with everything. Luckily Willa's lawyer, Mr. Bipps has hired a manny for her while she gets used to everything.

Jax has a job to do and he is keeping the real reason he is the "manny" from Neela until they discover what happened to Willa and where some missing pieces are. Unfortunately Jax is having a hard time controlling his attraction to Neela and will his personal feelings interfere with his job?

What will Jax lose if Neela discovers the truth?

This was a great beginning to the duet and I anxiously wait for the second half!

I felt so bad for Neela as she was so surprised that Willa named her guardian to Mayzie. She has no idea what she was doing with a baby and she was still trying to continue working as well and things were not going well.

I thought it was awesome how well Jax did as the manny with so many siblings having young children he was able to step into the job quite easily. He was determined to do his first job working for Ariel professionally but he was soon battling his attraction to Neela and his comfort with Mayzie.

There is still so much mystery surrounding Willa's death as no body was found and that several pieces from the gallery also seem to be missing. I am curious to see what is really going on as I have some guesses but need to wait for the next book! Also the relationship between Willa and her mom, Jane, seems to have had some issues and I need to know more.

The end was awesome and I can't wait for the next book!!
