3.0

Alright. This one was way less creepy as it was less stalkerish. Here it was more believable that 1) it is in reality his job to protect her as she's under real threat and his job is security and 2) he happened to fall in love with the woman it was his job to protect. I think it helped that this was written in his first person view so you could see he was actually in love, not just in lust or possessive stalker. He is very childish in his jealousy. It was like he was 15, not 32, so that was annoying. I also want to be annoyed with how dominating he is in the relationship, but I think that was just Fifty Shades forever turning me off of that relationship type. She seems to enjoy being dominated in the bedroom and that is realistic to how some couples are. This isn't written with a BDSM standpoint, so that helps. Mind, you I don't object the BDSM erotic fiction, but there is a right and a wrong way to write it. These novels just enjoy domination and submission as far as simple requests being more like demands and it turning them equally on. She gives him shit for doing it out of the bedroom when he is in the wrong. And he generally isn't childish enough to try and control her life anyway. The times he has to brings the reader back to the fact her life is in danger and he's in charge of protecting her. He doesn't control her life choices, only the choices that put her safety in jeopardy. So this gets a pass. If only he wasn't so obviously jealous. But, he does put him in his place, so that is well enough written.

Bonus points for the subtle making fun of Fifty Shades when the girls start gushing over reading it.

Anyway, I would have given it a 2.5 instead of a 3, but as that wasn't an option and counting in the bonus points, it can have the 3.
