i liked the instanta nd powerful attraction
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarain, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Hector's blind date goes wrong, and then he finds himself running for his life with a bleeding stranger in tow.

I liked that this book jumps straight into what is going on with Callum, and that Hector gets pulled in. I wasn't sure it was going to work for me, but it holds up well through the book, that start. It's sort of sets the pace for the book.

I did feel though, at times, that the pace was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too quick. I found myself struggling to keep up, things were happening so fast. But it's a relatively short book, 195 pages, and you can only get so much on the page count. I would have just liked a bit of a let up from everything, really. Just to catch my breath!

I would have liked some more of the suspense that is tagged with the book. There is, I felt, none. We know, right from the start, who is doing what they are doing to Callum and Hector.

But there is lots of the passion the book is tagged with, and I liked that the attraction and connection between these two men is powerful and almost instant, but it never ever wavers, not even when they are both faced with such a situation they find themselves in.

Only Hector gets a say though. And really this is the only reason I rounded my 3.5 stars down, rather than up.

3.5 stars, rounded down for the blog.

NEXT DOOR PROTECTOR is the third book in the Hot as Sin series, featuring firefighters from the same unit. You don't need to have read the others to get this one. If you haven't read a Kitty O'Bliss book before, then you need to know they are short and hot, without much of a backstory.


Alexandra is a dancer who has been stalked for the past three years, moving countless times, but he always finds her. She isolates herself from everyone, not trusting anyone or wanting anyone to get close. Until Jake bangs on her door after deciding she is his. He has decided she is his to protect and claim and he won't take no for an answer. Sounds to me like Alexandra now has two stalkers!

This short story is told completely from Jake's perspective and is incredibly fast-paced. I expected to read more about the stalker, but that would have made it a longer book. Instead, everything is pretty much sorted without any danger or suspense.

While I enjoyed the second book in the series, this one was just too out there for me, especially with just how stalkerish and caveman-like Jake was, and there were some errors in the last chapter that jolted my reading. This is a hot read if that's what you're looking for.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book; the comments here are my honest opinion. *
