One dangerous family. One determined Guardian. And the daughter caught between them. Her treacherous family ties could destroy them all...

MARIA
Criminals. Mafia. That’s what everyone said we were.
I never believed the rumors, though. I’d know if anything shady was happening in my family.
Except…I didn’t.
When my best friend disappears from the Belvedere, I knew I could find her. Because while I might be clueless about my family, I know everything that happens in my hotel.
That’s when I found him.
I thought he was the bad guy. My enemy.
He wasn’t.
But just because I misjudged him doesn’t mean he can’t destroy me….and my heart…

LIAM
The Rossi crime family is going down.
As a Guardian, it’s my job to make it happen. I was ready for anything.
Except her.
Maria’s clearly innocent. I didn’t want to give her the dose of reality that destroyed her perfect world.
But I had no choice.
See, I need her. Being her fake boyfriend is the only way to get close to her family. She’s a means to an end.
Except now, she’s so much more. What I feel for her could ruin everything.
For both of us…

The Guardian Hostage Rescue series gets more intense with every book. With dangerous missions, heroic rescues, nail-biting suspense, and sizzling romance, it's an addictive adrenalin rush.

Rescuing Maria is the seventh book of The Guardians: Hostage Rescue Specialists series. It’s a sexy, angsty, love-at-first-sight, fast-paced, steamy & suspenseful dark mafia, contemporary, military, romantic suspense that will tug at your heartstrings and leave your heart racing. If you love over-the-top protective military men that like to take charge, steamy couples, and happily ever afters, Rescuing Maria is for you.
Although the books in the series are standalone, much is gained by reading them in order, as the story of the Guardians is ongoing throughout the series.

You Can't Go Wrong With This Book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022

Rescuing Maria is the quintessential ending to the Guardian Hostage Rescue Specialists and perfectly encapsulates the entire series. Suspense, intrigue, danger, action and white hot romance...how can you go wrong? Guardian has finally pulled all the threads and gotten the intel they need to shut down and completely dismantle the human trafficking network. Be prepared...there are some shocking revelations. When all is said and done Rescuing Maria is the perfect segue to Guardian HRS: Bravo team.

Liam and Maria together are six kinds of awesome! The intensity of their connection was....phew! Liam is a protector through and through. His intensity gave me chills. His back story details give you all the info you need to understand the man. Despite a rocky beginning with Liam she quickly becomes an ideal partner. She's tough. She's skilled. She keeps a cool exterior despite falling apart on the inside. She'll do whatever it takes to get her best friend back. What she didn’t count on is the instant and insanely intense attraction to a man she's only known for hours. When her life as she's known it begins to crumble right before her eyes, Liam is there for her without hesitation. Their fake relationship lasted about two minutes before it became very real.

Ripped From Today's Headlines!

"Package acquired. Delivery as discussed." - Muriel

Such an innocuous phrase, one that shouldn't give you a second thought... That is, unless....

"I live in a glass tower, a princess of circumstance, and prisoner of the Rossi name." - Maria Rossi

Maria Rossi is a modern day princess; living and working in her ivory tower. Yet appearances can be deceiving. Her father recently dead, her mother cold and unfeeling, the only bright spot in Maria's day is her best friend Sybil. When Sybil fails to appear for a charity event, Maria knows something happened. What she discovers shatters her world....

"I have a feeling my entire world is going to change. Again..." - Maria

Another intense, enthralling tale by the incomparable Ellie Masters! Ripped from today's headlines, you will be engulfed into a dark world; one many are oblivious to, and unaware of. You will cry, gasp and pray as you traverse a minefield of emotions .... I couldn't put it down!

This one is the "cherry on top" we finally find out who is behind all of the kidnapping, murder, or selling of the women...what a finish.
Great job Ellie Masters.

I’d love to know what happened to the villains in the future but I loved this series and this book was a great one.

Ellie Masters has done a great job writing this romantic series. The character development has been phenomenal. I like some characters better than others, which is the whole point, don't you think? The grammatical issues, typos etc were minimal. The over all plot device of the Guardiams was plausible and a great idea overall. The sex scenes weren't overdone ,leaving room for an actual plot . I'd r3commend this seriesmto,anyone who reads romance.

A MUST Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2022

This whole series has been fantastic. The books have everything you would want and every emotion. They were all can't put down once started and at times I was tingling with nerves as to what was happening even though I knew the books would have happy endings. One of the books especially had me all over the place reading it and I won't spoil what one of was. Read them all and in order. Believe me, they are worth it. I would suggest you read all the books in order starting with the rock star (Angel Fire) series so you get to know things from the start. Thanks Ellie.

Brilliant series finale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2022

Although Liam and Maria's story can be read as a standalone, it is the finale to the overarching story throughout the series of human trafficking. The story has suspense, drama, passion, betrayal, some fun and hope. Great ending to this series.
