Harlequin Intrigue
In Police Protector (Lawmen: Bullets & Brawn #2) by Elizabeth
Heiter, Detective Cole Walker will do anything to keep Shaye Mallory safe
after she's shot at by an unknown assailant. But the only way to do that is to
make certain she's around people he trusts from now until the person that wants
to hurt her is behind bars. Will Cole be able to do his job to the best of
his ability; or will their strong attraction make him too distracted and prevent their chance at happy ever after?
This is the
first book I've read by Ms. Heiter, and what a fabulous book it was due
to its wonderful mix of suspense and romance, everything this couple go
through against the bad guys and the nail-biting ending that kept me
on the edge-of-my-seat wondering whether the main characters would come out on
top against the bad guys. The way this story started had me feeling
sorry for the heroine, as she's already been through so much and doesn't need
to feel threatened all over again. Will Shaye be able to escape her
situation?
As for the
dialogue, it was thrilling and kept my eyes utterly focused on
the story, because I was determined to know why someone was targeting
Shaye. Is it because of her work as a forensic analyst or is it personal?
Will she and Cole be able to figure out who is targeting her before another
attempt on their lives? How far is Shaye willing to go to get the information
they need? Moreover, the heroine is resilient and brave when it comes to
everything she faces, especially her confrontations with the bad guy. I also
liked how far she was willing to go to keep everyone she cared about safe when
it seemed it wasn't only her life on the line in the end. She shows she's not
afraid to do whatever it takes to take down the bad guy, even if her life
is on the line.
While Cole,
I was absolutely charmed by him and his police partner, Luke. They're the
ultimate good guys that go above and beyond the call of duty, especially when
it comes to protecting Shaye. Furthermore, Cole is smart, tough and I enjoyed
how protective he was of Shaye because she's already been through so much
already with what happened to her in a place where she should have felt safest.
But what I liked most about Cole is that no matter how hard he tried to fight
his attraction to the heroine he couldn't, even knowing that any distraction
would put her in more danger.
Overall, Ms.
Heiter has penned a really good romantic suspense in this book, where this
couple's chemistry was entertaining in that will-they-or-won't-they finally go
from platonic to physical intimacy and where the secondary characters advice
had me wanting to discover if the main characters would listen to it. The way
this story ended was riveting and kept me reading to see how things would turn
out for the hero and heroine. Would they survive what the bad guy had in store
for them? However, it was the epilogue that wrapped this story up wonderfully,
because of the surprise the hero has for the heroine that made her think she
was in trouble with the hero's boss. I would recommend Police Protector by
Elizabeth Heiter, if you enjoy romantic suspense, the friends to lovers trope
or books by authors Elle James, Cindi Myers, Delores Fossen or Cynthia Eden.

I just checked the first book of this series out over at Amazon and it sounds just as good as this one. I'll definitely be reading them, because they're romantic suspense.
