Cassie Rowe needed a distraction—and, boy, did she get one! How was she to know the brooding stranger who rocked her world was the pilot who’d left her brother to die? And now they’re on the same mission. She should hate him. But she can’t fight the storm of desire threatening to pull them under…

My Thoughts
*Purchased E-Book*
His to Protect is a hot, fast-paced, and gripping contemporary romance written by author Karen Rock. Initially, it was the cover posted on twitter that drew me in and made me purchase this book, as I’m a sucker for a tall, dark, and handsome military man. The man on this cover is pretty hot so it caught my eye immediately when it was posted and then when I read the blurb for it, I was hooked into reading it completely.And, you guys, I’m so glad I did!
Both Cassie and Mark are dealing with personal grief, and it’s their need for a distraction from that grief that initially draws them together without knowing much about each other. I found their beginning interactions flirty, fun, and sexy, with a completely believable and deeper emotional undertone. Without knowing why, they found a connection in each other and its that connection, as well as the great characterization from the author, that made the book such a great and engaging read for me.
If you’re looking for a quick, well-written, sexy military romance with a fantastic hero and heroine who bring life to the pages, pick up a copy of His to Protect by Karen Rock. I enjoyed the heck out of their story and can’t wait to pick out another book to read from this author.
