Mission: Out of Control (Missions of Mercy series, Book 2) by Susan May Warren

Book Description:

Brody "Wick" Wickham is a former Green Beret turned security agent—with a 100 percent mission success rate. No way is his new assignment changing that. Even if it's protecting a diva American rock star while she's on tour in Europe. Except Veronica "Vonya" Wagner isn't just a beautiful celebrity used to having her way—she's the daughter of a U.S. Senator. And she's hiding a dangerous secret. When Wick discovers what's at stake, how far over the line will he go to keep them both alive?

Trouble with a V, as in Veronica "Vonya" Wagner... Wick sure has his hands full keeping up with & protecting "Vonya" not to mention trying to guard his heart along the way.  Veronica isn't sure who she really is any more, she seems to have lost her true self some where along the way.  She wears all these different faces, one for her fans, one for her family and on and on.  Veronica has a lesson to learn in what it means to be true to herself and to experience the freedom that comes in being who God created you to be. 
 
We too can be guilt of this "double life" mentality.  Being a different person at work or home, or even church than we are ... Trying to show people the face we want them to see, who we want to be.  And trying to hide the mistakes and failures in our lives, real or imagined.  Because for most of us we long for approval.  The great thing about Jesus is that He died for us while we were still sinners.  All we have to do is turn to Him, trust Him and embrace His grace.  We can't earn it or measure up because we are not perfect people but we do have an awesome, holy God who will wash us clean, forgive us and accept us.  Not only that but He is ready to transform us and our lives into something beautiful... a story, an adventure He created us for to share with Him.  Pretty awesome stuff!
 
Any way this was a really good, short, suspense filled romance!  I enjoyed flying through the pages and as always it left me filled with excitement and smile upon my face!
