I can’t help it I know it’s all so cheesy but I love a cheesy romance on the occasion

This book was pretty hot from the very beginning. I love that there wasn't much hesitation from Katee to get right to the down and dirty.
Luke is ALL male, as Alexis so aptly described him. He isn't sweet or tender and he doesn't make, or fall in love. He's in Europe to keep an eye on Alexis as a favor to his buddy and the last thing he expects is to fall for her.
Alexis ran away from her family and her life to try to regain some control and independence for herself. She's trying to prove to herself, and everyone else, that she is brave and strong, even though she doesn't quite have faith that she can. Then comes this grumpy, pushy man who might just be able to help her. It's only for one night anyways, right?
This was a quick and easy read with just enough emotion to make it sweet. A story of two broken souls who help heal each other and maybe, just maybe might be able to come away stronger, together.

This was a solid romance book. They are always quick reads. Love a good Katee Roberts book! She always smashes it out of the park. Loved these characters.

Phew! When the blurb describes the sex in His Lover to Protect as unbelievably hot, well, it's not far off the mark! This is one sexy book.
With plenty of heat, there's not a lot of build-up. In fact, I'd say this one is heavily on the side of sexy, without a lot of romance. I bought into it, but I don't think anyone looking for lots of sweetness is going to love this book.
I think what I liked most about the book is that it's such a great example of how enjoyable a story about two smartasses getting together can be. There's some great banter between Alexis and Luke. I like that they have this relationship full of friction, they don't get along easily. I love the needling, the blunt edges here. It feels like exactly what they both need--raw honesty.
What I didn't like about this book is that Alexis' family goes to insane lengths to keep an eye on her. I found that really over-the-top, and it made me not like her family at all, which is unfortunate, because I assume her sister's relationship comes out of an earlier book in the series (which I will now avoid). I can't imagine sending someone to stalk-protect one of my family members just because they've taken off without, essentially, clearing it with me first. Not cool!
His Lover to Protect travels across Europe, visiting some gorgeous spots. It's a quick read, it's a steamy, sexy read, and if you go in knowing not to expect pure romance, I think you'll like this one!
Bottom line:
Looking to warm up one cool evening? His Lover to Protect can do the job! I recommend this one as long as you don't mind that there's no romantic build-up.

This was so unnecessarily dramatic. But it has a few cute moments.
