Robert Cole is a sexy private investigator and a Texas Cattleman's club member who was asked by one of his best friends and fellow club members to help find out the murderer responsible for the death of one of the Web Scott employees. And he got his eyes on the beautiful florist who first found Eric Chamber's lifeless body.
Rebecca moved to town and started her dream business when her abusive husband died. She was now finally safe but not entirely free because she still couldn't forget. But life is as comfortable and happy as she allows it until she finds the lifeless body of Eric and comes faced to face with the handsome P.I. He frightened her but not in the way her husband frightened her. Rob hired her to remodeled his garden/patio, and as they spent time together, she sees through his tough, cold, and 'I-don't-care' attitude to the guy he really is.
I loved the story with a tortured hero, and Rob was pretty much that. He was scarred inside and out. The horrible things he suffered at the hands of his own father. How could the man be so.. so cruel? He was supposed to be the one to protect Rob, love him. But he was so cruel and made Rob's life a living hell. I really feel bad for him. And Rob's mother never did anything for him, and she let his father beat him. I might sound like a bastard, but I'm glad his father was dead, and I hope he suffered a painful death.
I liked Rebecca's character. She's a real trooper. She also suffered a lot from his very abusive husband, and I'm glad that he's already dead, or I might kick his ass for being such a bastard!
That's why Rob and Rebecca were perfect for each other. They knew a lot about emotional and physical pain, how hard and scary it was to trust, and open up to someone, after all, those bad and cruel things they've both experienced. Rob even pushes her away, but he can't stay away for long because he really loves her.
And the whole suspense/mystery element of the storyline was very much present in this book compare to the first book, and I bet we will find out more about it in the next three books in the series.
Overall, Her Lonestar Protector was a great read and an enjoyable one. And I'm happy to see both Rob and Rebecca overcome their past together and finally get theirs deserve Happy ever after.
