The Protector: A Sexy, Angsty, All-The-Feels Romance with a Hot Alpha Hero by Jodi Ellen Malpas
2.0
1.5 stars
I thought this book had potential to bee good, but instead stuck to insta-love and every imaginable romance cliche. (3 days for Jake to decide to risk his livelihood and professionalism just to get with Camille; 4 days for her to decide she loved him). There was seriously WAY too much thrown in here and all within a week's span. Vapid party girl who really isn't like the papers depict, but has depth? Check. Mysterious alpha male with a shrouded past? Check. Has multiple abodes what are uniques and not at all what was expected? Check. Abusive ex? Check. Manipulating, conniving family member? Check. Male and women MC so hot that they literally stop people from being able to perform menial tasks? Check. Someone out to get female (but not all is what it seems)? Check. <--- very spoilery.
If this would have taken place over a longer period of time (really, how can Camille be mad that Jake doesn't spill his inner demons after 3 days?!), and if the plot would have been slimmed down to just the love story and the threat, I would have found this way more enjoyable.

Spoiler
Male MC has dead wife? Check. Dead wife cheated? Check. Child? Check. Reunites with said child and it's OTT with cuteness?
