Amazing short and titillating tale in the Assassins & Sweethearts series. From start to finish, I was on the edge of my seat. Hot and sexy, endearing characters, a hell of a hunk who captured my soul, I'm in love with Ethan.
Another well done story from an author I come back to again and again.

Nadia couldn't be happier, she's got her man and their love is stronger than ever. But Ethan is being a little distant, what is he doing that he's keeping quiet? Is it her, is she not satisfying him? Is there someone else?
So when Nadia choose to follow him one night, things quickly take turn that pushes her outside her comfort zone. But will Ethan be able to get to her in time before she is taken away from him forever?
Desire Protected is a quick, sensual, heart pounding read that will have you desiring more. Ethan proves, over and over, that the only woman that holds his heart is Nadia, even when Nadia lets her mind gets the best of her. Nadia loves Ethan, but her past makes her question the depth of his love for her. But even with her worries, I love how she'll fight to keep her relationship together.
This story is intriguing and I enjoyed it immensely. The mystery surrounding Ethan case will keep you glued until the end. And the chemistry between Ethan and Nadia will have you yearning for more. They are seriously one seriously passionate couple.
In the end, life may be crazy and unexpected, but a couple that will fight for their love at all costs is something any reader can appreciate.

A quick read that was captivating and enjoyable. A hit for me

This one wasn’t as good as the first few. I found it slightly boring. The characters and storyline were a bit dull and it took a while for anything decent to happen. It wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t the best. I wish I could give it 2.5 stars because 3 feels too generous and 2 feels too low.

This is a spanking hot romance.
I don't remember the first book but this short story was nice. I would have liked about 200 pages more.

This short novella continues with our favorite assassin, Ethan, (Oh so dreamy) and his love Nadia. Nadia is no longer working for Ethan, but she's the HR manager for Aidan Clery, Ethan's friend and fellow assassin.
But one day Ethan forgets something at home and Nadia follows him to work to drop it off. When she sees him get into a car with a hot blonde, she questions just what is going on. Through a series of misunderstandings, Nadia gets herself into trouble, will Ethan be able to help her?
Despite the length of this novella, the story is still rich and full of suspense, drama, and holy hotness Batman! I'm very much looking forward to Aidan's story, but I'd just love that man for my own.
