Book Review By Marilyn Shoemaker
Living on the Edge by Susan Mallery

The author weaves a romantic and suspenseful tale about a “tough” bodyguard and naïve sweet socialite who survives a kidnapping and an abusive marriage.

Tanner Keane is hired by Madison's ex-husband and father to find and bring her home as she's been kidnapped and being held for ransom. When the rescue goes bad, Tanner is forced to take Madison into hiding at a safe house. Tanner doesn't trust her but eventually gets to know her and believes she's not only been abused by her ex and not understood nor appreciated by her father but that her ex-husband is the source of the kidnapping.

There is nothing soft about Tanner and as he learns more about Madison and her husband's involvement in the kidnapping, he begins to trust her and realizes that when the end comes, he won't want to her go. As for Madison, she's a sensitive, beautiful woman and afraid to trust Tanner. However, as the few weeks go by, she realizes she will never forget him, that he has changed her for the better and that he has touched her heart.
