It’s rule breaker Emily Foster's birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately, she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she's entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.
When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can’t have.
Jake's as hot as he is infuriating, and she can't help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake's determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she's determined to get into the right ones—his.
Rules of Protection was recommended to me by my best friend, who said it’s a must read. She was right. I loved it!!
We meet Emily Foster, who’s celebrating her birthday with her friends and accidentally ends up witness to a murder.
Enter Jake, the sexy, annoying guy who keeps bumping into her and making her want to strangle him and kiss him at the same time.
What Emily doesn’t know, but will later find out, is that Jake is an FBI agent who is, in a way, connected with the murder she had seen.
He’ll also be the one in charge of her safety when she's entered into Witness Protection Program.
This is where things get complicated. Jake is the type who expects everyone to do as he says and Emily is the type who can’t follow any orders. They are both hard-headed and it’s very interesting how things begin to change when they realize they have to cooperate.
Emily is a strong person, who dealt with losing her parents and every other obstacles life threw her way. She’s stubborn, doesn’t give a damn about what others think about her and sometimes she’s irresponsible.
Jake is the exact opposite. He’s cool, calculated and hell bent on following rules. His rules. Where Emily’s safety is concerned, he doesn’t take any chance. However, he meets his match in stubbornness when their worlds collide.
I liked the way their relationship develops, because there’s definitely something going between them, but things aren’t rushed.
The writing style met my expectations. It was very easy to follow the story and to connect with the characters. Some situations will make you laugh hysterically, others will make you cringe and you’ll end up wide awake at five in the morning because you’ll be unable to put it down.
Alison’s novel is funny and romantic and you will absolutely love it (even Charlie) !
It took me several days to get through the book, because I didn’t want it to end. I seriously cannot wait for the next installment!
Happy reading!
As the youngest of five girls, Alison Bliss has never turned down a challenge...or been called by the right name. Her writing career may have started out as a dare by one of her sisters, but Alison hasn't put her pen down since.
She grew up on a small island off the Texas Gulf Coast, where most of her childhood vacations consisted of camping or hunting trips to the deer lease. Although she'll always be a Texan at heart, Alison currently resides in the Midwest with her Iowa farm-boy husband and their two sons. With so much testosterone in her home, it's no wonder she writes "girl books."
She's an animal lover, a closet video game enthusiast, and believes the best way to know if someone is your soul mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it's obviously meant to be. Alison's an avid romance reader who enjoys penning the type of books she loves to read most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy or two. As she calls it, "Romance...with a sense of humor."
