interjected, his temper strung taut by her proximity, her injuries, and the wild suggestion that he was ever going to let her out of his sight again.

As soon as I saw the JC Leyendecker cover art I was done for, but this book was delicious from top to bottom. I love a smitten hero and this story hit almost every note I could have wished for.
