Review by: XeranthemumSorrel Bitter Thyme seems destined to spend her entire life at the Children of Nature compound. Not an ideal situation. She dreams of so much more—a better future, one outside the cult where she can experience freedom.
After working long hours, she’s close to achieving her secret goal. She’s perfected the Dream Cream, which enhances orgasmic pleasure, and it’s time to approach Fancy Free management with her invention. Easier said than done! Sneaking around the cult leader who will steal her idea if he learns of the financial potential is tricky and rife with problems.
Jake Ramsey, a Special Air Services soldier on sick leave, agrees to go undercover in the cult to help local police close a case against the leader. Fun times when a beach holiday with a sexy babe would suit him better. Plain and dumpy Sorrel is his inside contact and not what he expects.

Their partnership works well. A rapport blooms, and kisses meant to cement their cover, take on new possibilities. Jake uncovers secrets, and their loving heats up, passion coalescing into more than camaraderie. Then danger stalks Sorrel. What began as a favor is now deadly serious—a game Jake must win to keep Sorrel safe.
There are a lot of hot moments sprinkled throughout the novel while at the same time the hero is running out of time, trying to find clues to nefarious deeds. He has no idea how close and how hairy things are going to get. There is enough suspense, near misses, spying and subterfuge to keep those pages flipping.
Safeguarding Sorrel is filled with what I’d expect from a cult gone bad. They always start off sounding idealistic and serene. It only takes one person greedy for power, persuasive and cunning in their speech to twist a simple idea into a parody, a travesty of what the original founder intended. The villain is just as vile and twisted as anything you would read about in the papers or on T.V. The author created a very convincing bad guy. So arrogant yet foolish, and the innocent pay the price.
Sorrel had a very smart mother. It was her clever advice that kept Sorrel safe but time is running out. Jake, the hero, saw right through her but there was something that wasn’t quite right. I liked his determination in trying to figure out what intrigued him so. The discoveries were fun and their effect on Sorrel was perfect, leading to a rather unconventional and sexy romance
I liked that Sorrel refused to break. She had an inner strength, even when the bad guy spread his villainous verbal poison, the heroine was able to tough it out. She had a dream, a plan, and she was biding her time. I enjoyed it when Jake’s arrival threw things into disarray. The best part, Sorrel was no longer alone. I adored Jake because he was always so nice to her, helpful and he treated her the way a man should treat a woman. He respected her and once he figured out a few things, that respect increased. I thought that awesome.
What I found odd was the ringleader’s erratic behavior. Sometimes he was lackadaisical, paranoid at other times, but always nasty and mean. I wondered why he didn’t have someone show Jake the ropes, and have someone ‘educate’ him on the rules at Children of Nature’s compound. Considering the exciting and nail-biting climax, I think there’s a good reason. Let’s say he was a bit distracted. That’s an understatement.
The secondary characters were wonderful. I really thought every woman was downtrodden, but then the pots and pans came out. That was a ‘fist-bump’ moment.
Safeguarding Sorrel was a fun read. A lot of hot and steamy action to be sure, but the story and plot was strong enough to stand on its own. I believe this is part of a series but I didn’t feel lost because I hadn’t read any others. Jake and Sorrel, the suspense and intrigue, those were the main focus and everything else was icing on the cake. I’d recommend this book to romance fans who want a fast, exciting read with a happy ever after. Oh, don’t forget the recipe! Yes, there is a great recipe at the end that I am enthusiastic to try. I checked – yes I have all the ingredients. When I try it out, I’m going to remember Sorrel and Jake’s romance.
