Protecting You
by Claire Kingsley
I don't normally like Friend-to-Lovers but the first few chapters were changing my mind. Asher and Grace were the best of friends and inseparable. However, over the years she was gone in college, they distanced themselves from each other. Grace comes home from her sophomore year of college and reconnects with Asher and his entire family. I was enjoying this tension that they had but then when Asher asks her out it is like everything went into a tornado and debris was spit out everywhere.
Asher is a little too much for me. He immediately wants to put a ring on Grace's finger and make her his wife. He is touchy, not in a creepy way, just in a "we have the green light" and Grace feels the same way. The summarization of the last two years for them is what did it for me to make this a book I didn't like. The fact that it felt like they were not two separate humans coming together bothered me. They immediately entered each other's orbit and didn't think about who they had become away from each other. Did they change? I truly don't know if anything about them changed.
Asher ends up murdering a man who had attempted to rape Grace. The whole scenario that built up to that seemed out of the left field. Asher ends up taking a deal and ends up getting sentenced to eight years in prison and that is where the book ends. I think what bothers me most is that they had this whirlwind and then the author knocks it down. I am not going to continue the series but I hope that the other books in the series took a turn for the better.
