Summary
One mysterious break-in…
As a middle child， Peyton Steele has always needed to find a way to standout。 But coming to the attention of the head of security for her client’s jewelry store when millions of dollars in jewels go missing is not the way to do it。 She thinks the state-of-the-art cameras she’d recently had installed will make it easy to find the thief， but she’s stunned when the video doesn’t show the theft taking place。
Propels her into a level of danger she’s never known。
The lack of video evidence is not acceptable to store security manager and former detective， Grant Logan。 He’s given up his law enforcement career to spend more time with his daughter and he’s up for a promotion as security manager for the entire jewelry chain。 To gain the job that will give his young daughter everything he wants for her， he has to prove his abilities by finding the thief at all costs。 He’ll put everything on the line to gain this new job， but how far will he go？ Despite his growing interest in Peyton， will he risk both of their lives to succeed？

Couldn’t put it down。 Nerves of Steele is a page turner。 Susan Sleeman puts out another great book。 The Steele family is so real that you feel like you know them。 Suspense family and faith make a great story。 I love how she brings characters from previous stories in to the new ones so you get glimpses of their continuing stories。

Peyton is getting ready to go on vacation when she gets a call from one of her clients。 His jewelry business has just been broken into and over a million dollars in diamonds have been stolen。 Peyton knows she has to go investigate because the Steele family business is on the line with this client。 Grant Logan wants the job as the store’s security manager。 The robbery is a nightmare for him as he has just moved his daughter to the area and needs this job。 Owner Alex Armstead has informed both Pey Peyton is getting ready to go on vacation when she gets a call from one of her clients。 His jewelry business has just been broken into and over a million dollars in diamonds have been stolen。 Peyton knows she has to go investigate because the Steele family business is on the line with this client。 Grant Logan wants the job as the store’s security manager。 The robbery is a nightmare for him as he has just moved his daughter to the area and needs this job。 Owner Alex Armstead has informed both Peyton and Grant that they will be working together to find out who the thief is and if they don’t find the diamonds then neither of them will be employed by him。 Before Alex can explain some of his actions he is involved in an accident that puts him in the hospital in a coma。 Can Grant and Peyton figure out who has the diamonds and who may be threatening the Armstead family？ But most of all can Grant and Peyton work together to solve the crime with the obvious attraction they are feeling towards each other every time they are in the same room？ I’m absolutely loving the Steele Guardians series！ Nerves of Steele definitely didn’t disappoint in the excitement/suspense department。 I loved the characters as well。 Grant is kind and patient and definitely a loving father to his daughter。 I liked Peyton’s epiphany’s that she had about where she saw her life going and her ability to adjust her expectations after struggling it out with the Lord。 Author Susan Sleeman knows how to make the spiritual “ah ha” moments that speak to the characters hearts， personal and touching to the readers hearts as well。 An exciting book that keeps the reader turning the pages with expectation and excitement！ 。。。more

What a fitting title for this new book by Susan Sleeman！ Peyton Steele truly needed nerves of steel to get through all the roadblocks that were put in front of her while she was on this new case for the family business。 It seemed like every time she turned around something new was happening。 All she had wanted was to solve this case， find the diamonds， and show her family she was capable to be the CFO of the family business。 She didn’t count on partnering with Grant Logan。 A guy who threw her an What a fitting title for this new book by Susan Sleeman！ Peyton Steele truly needed nerves of steel to get through all the roadblocks that were put in front of her while she was on this new case for the family business。 It seemed like every time she turned around something new was happening。 All she had wanted was to solve this case， find the diamonds， and show her family she was capable to be the CFO of the family business。 She didn’t count on partnering with Grant Logan。 A guy who threw her and all her plans for her future in a tailspin。 This story has many of the same suspense， drama， action， and intrigue that are in all of this author's books， but there is an added sweetness to it。 I truly loved reading how Grant strived to be a loving dad and make sure he kept his promises to his daughter， putting her first above work。 I loved this example of what it takes to be a good father and individual。 This character showed integrity and honor。 The author also did a beautiful job weaving Godly principles into these characters。 One fun thing about this book is that I learned some new things。 It had me looking up information about black diamonds， personal safes， and mudslides。 Fun！Oh， and the suspense was good too！ Susan Sleeman is a mastermind at bringing just the right amount of suspense to all her books。 You really don’t know how it’s all going to end up until the very end！ This is what makes an amazing author！ When the reader gets so tangled up in the story that they don’t want to put it down。If you love action， suspense， and intrigue， then I highly recommend you pick this book up and start reading it！ However， I have to warn you， once you start reading， you won’t be able to stop！ I stayed up way too late to finish this book。 WOW！I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way， all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Once again Susan Sleeman has penned a story packed with nonstop suspense in her second Steele Guardians series book， Nerves of Steele。 This is Peyton’s story， and she’s tasked with finding who stole black diamonds from the jewelry store where she had installed security cameras。 Grant Logan is the security manager for the store and together they attempt to find the culprit。 I always enjoy reading Sleeman’s books， as she includes information about criminal investigation techniques and technology， Once again Susan Sleeman has penned a story packed with nonstop suspense in her second Steele Guardians series book， Nerves of Steele。 This is Peyton’s story， and she’s tasked with finding who stole black diamonds from the jewelry store where she had installed security cameras。 Grant Logan is the security manager for the store and together they attempt to find the culprit。 I always enjoy reading Sleeman’s books， as she includes information about criminal investigation techniques and technology， and I like learning new things as I read a captivating story。 She also is a master at creating flawed， but endearing， characters that grow and progress throughout the tale。 Filled with plenty of action， suspense， intrigue， and a dash of romance， this book also has threads of inspiration that add depth and dimension to it。 This sums up why Susan Sleeman is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors。 Although it’s part of a series， it can easily be read by itself。 It was fun to see familiar people from previous books pop up in this one。 I’m anxiously awaiting the next installment of Steele Guardians。 4。5 starsI voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

A jewelry heist！ haven't read many books with that story line and this one was great！ Of course this author is one of my go-to authors to read any books she writes！ This story was intriguing because a million dollars of black diamonds are stolen from a jewelry store right after a secure system had been installed。 Peyton Steele's family was involved in that and she feels responsible。 Grant Logan was the store security manager and he also feels responsible so the two of them work together to find A jewelry heist！ haven't read many books with that story line and this one was great！ Of course this author is one of my go-to authors to read any books she writes！ This story was intriguing because a million dollars of black diamonds are stolen from a jewelry store right after a secure system had been installed。 Peyton Steele's family was involved in that and she feels responsible。 Grant Logan was the store security manager and he also feels responsible so the two of them work together to find who has stolen those diamonds。 They think it will be easy because of the security cameras but the film shows nothing！ What follows is a great up and down story of how Peyton and Grant discover what happened even though there is also a police investigation going on！ Peyton's whole family is involved because they own a security firm and I loved seeing all their strengths， especially since I "met" them all in the first book in the series。 I also enjoyed seeing Peyton's transformation from the beginning of the book to the end。 She had a "bucket list" somewhat of things she wanted to do before having a family but then realized that those things were not important because she never even tried to do them！ I enjoyed Grant's character also。 His daughter was darling！ A very enjoyable story！ 。。。more
