An operative rescued a wrongly accused archeologist from a Thai prison but danger persists. He's big, burly, a touch bossy with a soft side while she's tough and courageous, and determined to seek her justice. Forced proximity and fake marriage leads to insta-love (which I didn't mind much) as they make their escape from Thailand. The connection they built in that time is solid, and gives strength to their romance.
He's very protective from start and is very sweet to her. I liked their strong bond of trust, and they also generate plenty of heat. Lots of engrossing action on the side, although things were a little out there at times. This is #3 in a series but works by itself (didn't read the first two but plan to). Pretty solid read. BUT...why nicknamed him Bob? It made me think of Sideshow Bob.
