Publisher's summary

One wedding, one fake relationship, and a threat no one saw coming.

Attending a wedding is dead last on Fiona Lock’s list of priorities. She has two options: Stay home and let the family gossip mill speculate on why she isn’t there, or attend the wedding and pretend she’s just fine. The decision is obvious. Not only does she choose option B…she may have mentioned a boyfriend she doesn’t have. With the nuptials imminent, the race is on to find her “perfect man” who doesn’t exist.

When he’s not running the security business he owns with his friends, ex-Marine Callum Thomas spends his down time indulging in his favorite hobby—reading. Of course, it’s not just the books luring him to the library every other day. It’s also the sexy, sassy librarian, Fiona, who can’t resist putting Callum in his place at every turn. When he discovers she’s in need of a fake boyfriend, he’s determined to claim the role…and then slowly, cautiously win over the prickly woman he can’t get out of his head.

His plans are quickly disrupted when Fiona starts receiving threats, drastically speeding up his timeline. Callum knows any distance between him and Fiona is no longer an option. Letting her out of his sights could mean danger creeping in…and potentially losing Fiona before she’s even his to claim.

• Thoughts:
I feel in love with Callum pretty much instantly!!! I loved him! He was such a sweetheart, and I clam him immediately he is my book boyfriend. I loved the twist in this book. I thought I had the mystery of the book figured out, then it wasn't, and then I was like, what!! When we got tonthe plot twist. Haha. I really love reading Nyssa's books. I love that the couples once they get together are pretty solid. They are dealing with outside forces. This one did have a slight slow burn, Fiona has some trust issues, and rightfully so, but geez poor Fiona, I pretty much dislike everyone in her life other than the Blue Halo group. Like I said, Callum is an absolute sweetheart, and he is so perfect for her, his attentiveness, his protectiveness, and just all-around Mine vibe.
I am so looking forward to Liam's book

Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton are rock stars in my book and do no wrong... period!! they were amazing and did so good for this book

Twisty and Tasty!

It's a rare book that keeps me guessing. This story was unique and had twists galore. It was much less connected to Project Arma or the male character's backstory and instead focused on the female's. I really enjoyed being surprised at every turn and falling in love with the characters. Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter did a great job, particularly in making it have a little different feel from the other books. I really love that each book has had different narrators. My only complaint is that I miss not having an epilogue for each couple but since they appear in each book, it's nice to see them. Can't wait to finish up the series!

Callum

This is the seventh book in the Blue Halo series. Callum is Blue Halo’s tech guy. He is the guy the get to hack and dive deep in the webs. Fiona is the Librarian Callum has been crushing on. Fiona needs a date for her sister’s wedding. Callum makes the moves and offers to be her date/ fake boyfriend. Callum finds out that Fiona has been receiving threatening messages from an unknown sender. This book takes a turn for the crazy pretty fast. I can’t wait for the serial bachelor Liam’s book. Stella Hunter and Teddy Hamilton did an amazing job narrating this book.

Oh my gosh, Callum to the rescue!

Just what Blue Halo needs, an alpha protector with a soft side and Callum is his name!

There was just something about Fiona that pulled Callum to her. Lucky for him, he enjoys reading books and she works at the library, which makes his TBR list grow more and shrink at the same time!
He visits the local library on the days that he is pretty sure she is working or at least after she puts out her weekly book read lists recommendations. Callum, while visiting the library overhears her on the phone saying she needs a fake boyfriend for her sister’s upcoming wedding, and he’s definitely willing to volunteer. He’s hoping some alone time with beautiful librarian will ease some of the walls she has around her.

Poor Fiona can’t catch a break. Her last relationship broke her heart and ended in disaster when she caught her fiancé in bed with her sister. Now she has to find a plus one for her sister’s wedding or admit that she has no one to bring and is as miserable as her sister thinks that she is.

Not only does this book give us the inside to how Callum wins Fiona’s heart but we also see Fiona struggle with threatening text messages that keep coming in. Fiona does accept Callum as her plus one and he might just be able to help her in more ways than just as a fake date!

Nyssa does an incredible job with Callum and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This one was of my favorite

This book is one of my favorite in the series. I liked the mystery and the plot twist. Stella and Teddy did an amazing job narrating, it made the story more engaging and I couldn’t put it down. Hoping Liam’s story would be as great as this story.

Another great entry in the Blue Hero series.

There are always so many layers to Nyssa Kathryn’s books. She really keeps me guessing as to what danger will be next and I certainly didn’t see Fiona’s danger coming!

I am a sucker for the fake relationship trope so knew I would love this one from the start. I also like how Callum and Fiona have known each other for a while before this story (even if they didn’t know each other well).

There were a few times I was yelling at the characters, but you’ll have that sometimes.

There was a lot going on in this book but Stella Hunter was able to convey all of Fiona’s emotions beautifully. Teddy Hamilton isn’t necessarily one of the first names to come to mind for this kind of hero, but he did a great job as Callum.

CALLUM & FIONA

Nyssa Kathryn's Blue Halo books have been wonderful and CALLUM is no exception. He is so hung up on the prim and proper librarian who fusses at him when he returns books in less-than-pristine condition. Fiona fights her attraction to him to the point where this reader wants to shake her...HARD ...lol!

Fiona is let down by almost everyone she knows by the end of the book, but Callum loves her and supports her all the way. There's a major twist to this story you don't want to miss.

Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter did an outstanding job with the narration of book 7. It's going to be hard to let go of the Blue Halo team!
