Charles is only supposed to guard Maude and her sisters to their destination. He should have guarded his heart.

Still raw with grief after their father's funeral, Maude Lancaster and her two younger sisters refuse an ultimatum from their ill-intentioned uncle. Since it's a new century and women can travel unchaperoned, they decide to flee out west to live with their older brother. Their aunt hires Charles for protection, but Maude soon finds that her greatest danger is in losing her heart to a man she may never see again.

Former Pinkerton agent Charles Merrick has an opportunity for a new job in San Francisco. When his mother's friend asks to hire him to escort her three nieces across the country, he agrees. Their destination is only a little out of his way. But Charles faces a stumbling block in his attraction to Maude. He's never felt such a connection with a woman before, but they've only known each other a few days. It's too soon for there to be anything real between them. He can continue on to his dream job, or he can stay to see if Maude is the one. He can't do both.

To be honest, I don't know if I found the storyline juvenile or if it was the narration. I don't actually mind predictability, and this book was that. I think the character development was lacking in all of the characters. The two leads fell for each other without the author giving any cause, with the exception of visual attractiveness.
I think I could have excused those things but not for the narrator. It felt as those she was reading to young children the way that she seemed to over emphasize certain parts of the dialog.
Sorry to give such a bleak review because I usually enjoy "clean romance" stories but this one just laid flat.
