Protector for Hire: A grumpy/sunshine forced proximity romance with an ex-military hero

Schwartz Patton lives off the grid which comes in handy when his family needs him to protect Janelle Keebler but nobody warned him that he would have to guard his heart as well in this riveting contemporary romance. Janelle is a city girl through and through but the wilderness is looking mighty fine at the moment and the reader can’t help but enjoy this romance as the strong compelling characters discover each other. The attraction burns with some pretty intense chemistry but both characters have some emotional hang-ups and Schwartz really captures the heart with the sexy, protective but grumpy attitude that stems from his past in the army. A fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps expectation building throughout with suspense and romance while Schwartz fights his attraction to Janelle and Janelle slowly wins his heart with some quirky and fun distractions. Excitement and tension builds throughout the story mostly from the tension between Schwartz and Janelle but also the danger to Janelle from her ex-husband The scenes are well written and capture the imagination while the suspense draws readers in and ensures that the readers want to know what happens and some steamy and sexy scenes during Schwartz and Janelle’s courtship adds lots of spice. I haven’t read the previous books in this series (yet) and I had no problem catching on to the fact that the Patton family makes for some enjoyable and lighthearted with a side of quirky reading and since I enjoyed getting to know Schwartz and Janelle, I am looking forward to getting to know the rest of family.

Fun witty banter between the main characters make this an incredibly enjoyable read. This entire series has been fun to read! In this book Janelle Kebbler needs protection from her murdering ex husband. Where better to hide a city girl than in the woods with a grumpy recluse?? For eight years Schwartz Patton has hidden himself away from everyone after devastating losses in Iraq scarred his heart. Now his brother has tracked him down and asked for his help. Protecting this feisty, beautiful woman may be harder than he expected though!! This is a good one and I definitely recommend it.

Awesome chemistry between Janelle and Schwartz. Some parts not very believable, but a great read.
