I can not believe this. I actually liked Accidental Hero. I remember it fondly. So when I picked up Accidental Protector, I was so exicted being entertain again by Miss Snow.

I was sorely disappointed. Accidental Protector is super boring. The accidental marriage is usually a favorite go to for fun rom com theme. It does not work at all in Accidental Protector.

The stort is toi long. Miss Snow tries to throw in some suspense to keep the reaser hanging. The execution is just wrong. Instead of hot fun rom com, I got plain boring reading.

I am voluntarily reviewing an ARC copy of this book and very happy to have done so too.

Mindy has finally left her cheating fiancé after always doing the right thing, setting the right example for her sisters she has decided enough is enough. After confronting Charlie at the airport on his way to Aruba with his personal assistant Debbie she has told him it’s over. Charlie of course thinks that she will just fall back in line but not this time after a quick trip to Reno, she wakes up not remembering the night before or why she is in her underwear in a strange mans bed with no recollection of the night before. Running away seems like the best option or in Mindy’s case it was a case of crawling away. What follows is a fast paced action packed adventure and the discovery of an accidental marriage.

Noah wasn’t looking to fall in love the only thing that mattered to him was finding the girl he thought of as his little sister Jess and putting his aunts mind at rest. Mindy wasn’t someone that he planned on meeting. After watching her crawl of shame from is penthouse apartment and realising that he had been drugged he thought that she was in cahoots with the man he believes is responsible for Jess’s disappearance but after snippets from the night before slowly emerge and a marriage certificate comes to light he finds himself with a wife he never expected and suddenly feelings and looking for a future he never wanted. Can he solve the mystery of what happened to Jess and still keep Mindy in his life or will he lose another person that means everything to him. What started as a mistake suddenly means the world.

This was an edge of your seat book filled with danger, intrigue and love. I can promise you one thing you definitely will not be bored reading this book. Highly recommended read.

This was a great read with a fast-pace that was filled with action/adventure. These two discovered they were accidently married but sometimes what an accident can actually be the best thing to happen and this is what happened to Noah and Mindy's love story. You have Mindy who is escaping the reality of her cheating fiance she really didn't want to begin with. She then finds herself married to a complete stranger. That stranger is Noah who is a total hot alpha, a dominant protector who is just as confused as to how their marriage happened. A series of circumstances and other things at work, Mindy and Noah are forced to live with one another while navigating the danger going on around them. The danger and suspense is super intense while creating a phenomenal page read while at the same time the main characters show how deep their feelings for each other are developing as they explore their steamy and sizzling chemistry.
Expect twists, turns and red-hot action. This is one accidental marriage that you dont want to miss.

My rating: 4.5 stars *****

Ally - per RFS
.
Quando tutta la tua vita sembra andare a rotoli, che fai? Scappi a Reno!

Almeno questo è ciò che fa Mindy Austin quando finalmente ha le prove che il suo fidanzato Charlie, che deve sposare fra due mesi, è ad Aruba con la sua segreteria e amante in un viaggio che doveva essere esclusivamente di lavoro.

Così, la nostra protagonista scappa a Reno, da una zia, lasciando tutti senza una spiegazione; come dire alle famiglie che non sposerà quel viscido traditore? Una serata al casinò è ciò che le serve per spazzare via i problemi, almeno per una sera.

Mindy vince il jackpot e l’euforia la porta a brindare con alcuni sconosciuti lì presenti e, al tavolo del blackjack, nota uno spettacolare Ercole dagli occhi blu che la guarda come se fosse il dolce più buono del mondo.

Tutto immagina tranne il dover affrontare il fatto di svegliarsi in un letto, che non riconosce, con l’uomo più sexy che esista al suo fianco e un meraviglioso anello al dito. Mindy scappa da quella situazione impossibile in modo ridicolmente goffo, che vi farà ridere di gusto, ma i problemi la seguiranno.

Perché ha appena sposato Noah Bernard, ex soldato speciale e attualmente cacciatore di taglie, e per lui è semplice ritrovare la bellissima donna che quella mattina era nel suo letto, ma di cui non ha memoria del come ci sia finita.

I nostri protagonisti si ritrovano sposati senza ricordare come: qualcuno ha drogato i loro drink per farli incontrare e sono finiti in una cappella di fronte a un sosia di Elvis Presley a convolare a nozze.

Le reazioni saranno esilaranti e i personaggi sono fantastici, affezionarsi a loro è inevitabile.

Tutto si potrebbe risolvere con un divorzio lampo così come il loro matrimonio ma il fato fa sì che Mindy venga messa in mezzo nel lavoro di Noah. Infatti, Cesare Lucient, malvivente che ha rapito la cugina del nostro Ercole, conosce l’identità della nostra sposa e minaccia Noah di farle del male se non lavorerà per lui.

I due si trovano invischiati in un turbolento tornado di pericoli ma, nella confusione, l’attrazione che li ha fatti finire nei pasticci divampa potente e a loro non rimarrà altra scelta se non cavalcare l’onda.

Dopotutto, il loro incontro sembra scritto nel destino perché mai era successo loro di incontrare una persona così perfettamente imperfetta.

I sentimenti dei personaggi sono trasparenti e la penna dell’autrice ci regala scene ad alto tasso erotico. Noah ci sa fare!

I capitoli si alternano regalandoci i pensieri di entrambi, che mi hanno fatto chiedere spesso durante la lettura: “E io cosa farei al posto loro?”

La storia scorre bene e ci racconta come due sconosciuti riescano a trovare il giusto feeling tra loro, mentre affrontano un ex fidanzato che non vuole capire che la loro relazione è finita, un capo mafioso che vuole Noah nel suo libro paga a ogni costo e due famiglie davvero esilaranti. Loro più di tutte ne passeranno e ne faranno passare di ogni colore in questa storia romantica, con un tocco thriller e una spruzzatina di comicità.

Mi è piaciuto molto come l’autrice ha trasformato un romanzo romantico in qualcosa di adrenalinico, senza esagerare e rimanendo nelle linee guida della storia d’amore di Mindy e Noah.

Noah è un figo pazzesco, sicuro di sé e protettivo con ciò che ama, un vero soldato che ha visto il peggio dell’essere umano nelle zone di guerra. Sexy e dolce, è semplicemente irresistibile.

Mindy ha sempre fatto quello che gli altri si aspettavano da lei: dare il buon esempio alle sorelle minori è la sua missione di vita. Da sempre rinchiusa e soggiogata dalla madre, finalmente trova la forza di dire “Basta” e l’unica soluzione che le viene in mente è fuggire da sua zia Martha, mentre quest’ultima è dalla figlia che ha appena partorito, in modo da poter rimanere sola a riordinare le idee e capire cosa fare della sua vita. Non è sempre facile capire che stiamo vivendo una vita che non ci appartiene, guidati da chi ci circonda e che pensiamo faccia tutto per il nostro bene. Svegliarsi è uno shock ma solo allora ti puoi finalmente chiedere “Cosa voglio veramente io?”

La nostra protagonista non ne ha idea e questa avventura dovrebbe servire proprio a capire, e perché no, realizzare i suoi desideri.

Che altro dire se non che vale la pena leggere questo bel libro, che vi accompagnerà in un’avventura con toni romanticissimi.

I loved every single second of this book. This book kept me on my toes and the edge of my seat. This is the story of two strong character's, Mindy and Noah.

This leads him to a casino and a accidental meeting of Mindy. This is the beginning of an adventure that will keep you on your toes and loving every single second of this book. It was so much fun to read and Nicole Snow has done and amazing job with this book. You don't want to miss this one. I am sure that it has something in it for all the romance readers out there.

A fast-paced action adventure accidental marriage romance. This book had me filled with constant anticipation as to what was going to happen next. Every other page the action changed, the scene changed and the characters were unbelievable. I love how the two lead characters were both strong alpha people. But that was not always the case. The female lead, Mindy/Lucky, had been drilled by her mother to meet her expectations. Mindy had all her decisions made by her mother. future mother-in-law and her fiancé for several years. However, she was tired of it all and sent a PI to follow her fiancé and found out he was having an affair with his secretary. That was the impetus to break her engagement and she fled to Reno. Noah was in Reno following up a lead on his missing cousin, Jess. Noah had to work with the head of the organized crime for that area, Cesare Lucient. Noah had last seen his cousin in the arms of the crime boss. Now he was hunting down every lead he could find to locate her. Noah had his license to work as a bounty hunter in the state of Nevada. Noah worked one case for Lucient in exchange for information on his cousin. But things don't always turn out the way you think they will. Noah was in the casino waiting for his mark. At the same time Mindy had lady luck on her side and was winning left and right. Then Noah's and Mindy's lives crossed each other and that was went all the flirting, drinking, gambling, turned their lives upside down. This was the beginning of Mindy's grand adventure and where Noah's life became more dangerous and complicated. This is a lot of fun to read. The banter back and forth between Mindy and Noah was extremely entertaining. I was never bored reading this. This is an excellent read and I highly recommend it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another great read by author, Nicole Snow! I loved every moment of reading Mindy and Noah's story. These two had insane chemistry together and their intimate scenes were both hot and sweaty ;) making me blush and feel flush a couple of times ;)

This was a fast-paced, filled with action and adventure story since these two discovered they were married, accidently, but let me tell you something guys, sometimes what we consider an accident or mistake, can actually be the best thing to ever happen to us, and this is clearly what happened to Noah and his woman, Mindy's case and love story ♡♡

Of course, in every story the main characters have to face obstacles and here, these two have to face some serious obstacles but at the end, everything works out and they get their well deserved happy ending ♡

This was a first for me for this author. It will not be the last. I loved this book from page one. Waking up to discover you are married to a stranger is so overwhelmingly. Mindy, lucky, does just that. She is trying to get away from a controlling fiance who cheats on her over and over again. Noah is trying to get to the man he thinks is behind his cousins disappearance. Finding out they were both drugged and then got married. The way these two were together was nothing short of combustible. Their chemistry was off the charts. I loved the excitement, suspense, the laughter, the love in this book. It keeps you on your toes. Fantastic story.

WOW, WOW, WOW, Holy Freaking WOW!

I swear I don't know how Nicole does it. This book was just freaking awesome. I got sucked into this story and it wouldn't let go until the end.

Mindy broke up with her cheating fiancé on his way out of town to a convention in Aruba with his secretary. She ends up in Reno from Scottsdale just to free herself and have some fun. Oh she was having fun alright. So much fun that she wakes up the next morning in bed with a god of a man and hasn't a clue how she got there. Her crawl of shame out of the bedroom was just hilarious.

Noah is a PI/Bounty Hunter in Reno to find his missing cousin. He is at the same casino where Mindy is scouting out a wanted man. He wakes up the next morning watching the crawl of shame and not saying anything as it was comical to him. Then he realizes after Mindy left, that he had no knowledge of the night before and then starts thinking that Mindy drugged him. Then a little while later they both discover, at separate locations, that they are married to each other. WTH?

This books was so good. Tons of questions and danger and action and oh the sexy times. Hot damn! This book will just pull you right along and keep your guessing and also give you some surprises. I was flipping those virtual pages as fast as I could, I need to know what was going to happen next like NOW.

You ever start reading a story and it’s so fun and entertaining you don’t want it to end? This is how I felt with this one. The main characters were so likeable! Well written dual POVs, great pacing, emotional backstory tinged with violence and drama. But the main attraction is Mindy, or as Noah nicknames her “Lucky”. She starts off as a brainy, controlled, responsible doormat who would rather take an unfair hit than cause waves. She’s kindhearted, nice, and a dutiful daughter always willing to please.

I love that she finally decides to take her life back and end her doomed wedding plans with her selfish, immature, spoiled mama’s boy, and cheater of a fiancé. Even when she ends things, no one really hears her. She’s let her mom, fiancé and his mother run things far too long.

When she meets Noah, or Hercules (I love that nickname!) as she fondly names him, her life takes on some color and excitement Maybe a bit too much excitement, but she handles everything like a champ.

The chemistry and scenes with Noah and Mindy are off the charts as this author really writes it well. I also loved it when Noah goes all alpha he-man protector whenever it comes to Lucky.
Sexy but romantic and sweet as both Noah and Lucky find their HEA in each other! This one is a definite keeper!

Mindy had gone to Reno to find herself and to get away from her cheating fiance and family Noah is trying to help and find his friend Jess but ended up getting detoured with Mindy. While they need to get divorced thing get in the way. We have drama, lies, betrayal and eventually love..You do enjoy these two even though at times you want to knock them out but entertaining..Hope Jess gets her own story..Enjoy!

4 solid stars. This is a tantalizing story that is a little like watching a game of cat and mouse between the good guys and the bad guys. Sometimes fate has a way of stepping in and making sure two people are thrown together and HAVE to deal with issues TOGETHER. This is one of those times, and BOY do they have explosive chemistry! I really like these two characters. The story line had great flow but was a little rushed at the end. So many things happened at the end so be aware. Love it though. I total recommend this read. This can be read standalone. Check it out!

Un abbraccio quasi per caso è un romanzo del genere rosa, con una spruzzata di suspense che movimenta la storia d’amore fra Mindy e Noah.
Attraverso una narrazione a pov alternati il lettore si trova a leggere di un matrimonio fra Lucky ed Ercole, due perfetti sconosciuti di cui non ricordano nulla se non come si siano incontrati la sera precedente a un tavolo da gioco. Noah la chiama Lucky per la fortuna per la somma vinta e per lei lui è Ercole per la fisicità e fascino.

Mindy/Lucky si è rifugiata a Reno dopo aver scoperto, con soddisfazione, il tradimento del suo fidanzato Charlie. Ha lasciato nella sua città natale le pressioni famigliari che la stavano guidando a compiere i passi lungo la navata della chiesa per raggiungere un uomo che non amava come, invece, si dovrebbe amare quel qualcuno con cui si vuole passare il resto della vita. Diplomata al conservatorio, adora l’opera, conosce molto bene le armi da fuoco e si sente in gabbia. Dal momento che arriva a Reno, e si sposa senza ricordare assolutamente nulla, la libertà che prova fa affiorare la sua vera personalità e l’appoggio di quel sconosciuto marito accelera il processo di pieno possesso della sua vera essenza.

Noah/Ercole è ombra e silenzio, è un uomo pieno di domande, rancore e astio. Ma le emozioni non lo fanno ragionare con piena lucidità quando ha vicino a sé Mindy e l’obiettivo demolire il potere del malavitoso Lucient viene spesso progettato senza calcolare bene gli imprevisti e probabilità. Il suo passato nell’esercito americano ha formato la sua tempra, ma invece di fare carriera militare decide di iniziare il lavoro come investigatore privato, per poi diventare un cacciatore di taglie per ritrovare la sua amata cugina, che lui considera una sorella, Jess.

Il loro rapporto è di protezione e allo stesso tempo attrazione e, nonostante l’assurdità del loro matrimonio, cercano in ogni modo di avere una scusa per rimanere vicini e non annullare quel matrimonio di cui non ricordano nulla, poiché intuiscono che c’è qualcosa che li tiene legati.
La parte passionale e d’amore viene affiancata da una traccia di suspense che, considerando il genere principale del libro, viene sviluppata in funzione della storia che si sta creando fra Mindy e Noah. Non c’è da aspettarsi nulla di incisivo sotto il punto dell’azione con le armi in mano, traffici, fbi e narcotrafficanti, ma bisogna lasciarsi andare sui diversi sentimenti dei due protagonisti.
I personaggi secondari non sono importanti: quelli presenti sulla scena sono efficienti nel limitato contesto, apparendo come dei semplici figuranti, mentre Charlie – l’ex fidanzato di Mindy – e Jess – la cugina di Noah- , che non interagiscono mai con i due protagonisti, sono molto presenti e ingombranti attraverso le parole e i pensieri di chi li nomina.

La lettura è fluida e lo scorrere delle pagine permette di godere una storia d’amore che prende forma iniziando al contrario e non dando respiro a Mindy e Noah che devono imparare a fidarsi l’una dell’altro per affrontare la tempesta fino a osservare un doppio arcobaleno. Il loro doppio arcobaleno!

Nachdem ich den ersten Band geliebt habe, folgt jetzt der 2. Band, indem es um Mindy und Noah geht. Sie hat gerade eine Trennung hinter sich und ahnt nicht, warum sie nach einem Casino-Aufenthalt auf einmal verheiratet, ist …

Mindy & Noah

Er ist Kopfgeldjäger und sie hat gerade eine Trennung erlebt und möchte einfach Spaß haben. Dass sie ausgerechnet nach einer Nacht im Casino heiratet, ahnt sie nicht… Beide könnten unterschiedlich nicht sein, aber dennoch führt das Schicksal sie beide zusammen.

Der Schreibstil ist angenehm flüssig und wird im Wechsel aus der Perspektive von Noah und Mindy erzählt. Der Leser kann sie so beide näher kennenlernen und ihre Gedanken und Gefühle erfahren während der Handlung. Die Nebenfiguren sind ebenso authentisch und gestalten die Geschichte mit. Die Kulisse der Stadt hat einfach perfekt gepasst und man entdeckt so viele neue Dinge.

Die Geschichte beginnt und wieder betritt mit Noah ein besonderer Mann, der einen gefährlichen Job als Kopfgeldjäger hat. Mindy erlebt eine besondere Nacht mit ihm, aber kann sich nicht erinnern. Noah ahnt, dass da mehr dahintersteckt und das als durch seinen Job ebenfalls in Visier geraten könnte. Wie kann eine Zukunft aussehen und wird die Ehe schneller beendet, als beiden lieb ist? Drama, Aufregung, große Anziehung und eine Liebesgeschichte, die bis zum Schluss einfach zum Mitfiebern bleibt. Diese Mischung aus Gefahr im Fall von Noah und seinem Beruf + Romance hat für mich einfach harmoniert. Das Ende hat die Geschichte noch einmal abgerundet und für mich schon die Vorfreude für den nächsten Band geweckt.

Das Cover sieht wunderschön aus und ich liebe solche Models auf den Bildern.



FAZIT :
„Accidental Protector: Noah (Marriage by Mistake Reihe 2)“ ist eine eindeutige Leseempfehlung von mir an euch. Starke Männer wie Noah, die alles riskieren, sind einfach zum Anbeißen und auch Frauen, die von diesen gerettet werden.

This accident was no accident

Accidental Protector by Nicole Snow is a really fun book about an accidental marriage that leads to a need to protect and be protected. Mindy, escaping the reality of the cheating fiance she really didn't want to begin with, finds herself married to a complete stranger. The stranger, Noah, who is a total alpha hero, a fierce protector and beyond attractive, is just as confused as to how this marriage actually happened. Through a series of circumstances and other forces at work, Mindy and Noah are forced to live with each other and navigate the danger together.
I really love both of these characters. Their back stories are very interesting and brings them to life. The danger and suspense creates an awesome page turner while developing deep feelings for each other as they explore their explosive chemistry.
Overall a very well written book, with great character development and a complex story that includes many characters which assists in understanding Mindy and Noah more, lending more authenticity to their characters. Nicole Snow's books have quickly become favorite go to for my romance reading craving. Looking forward to more great stories!
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my honest review.

When you start this book, be aware that you will not put it down. This book absorbs the reader into its world and makes them not want to leave!

This is the story of Mindy and Noah. Mindy is going through a hard time and decides to take a break. She finds herself in Reno and wants some lighthearted fun. What she doesn't expect is to have soo much fun, that the next morning she can't remember the night or who that handsome man next to her is. That man is Noah, a bounty hunter looking for his missing family member. He also find that he cannot remember the night before, and assumes Mindy is the reason. When they both discover they are married, the story really takes off.

This book has the perfect balance between action, passion and humor. It is such an enjoyable read that I could not put it down. The dialogue between Mindy and Noah completely made this book. I loved that there were no weak characters, as both Mindy and Nah were alpha. They challenged and complimented each other. There is also a bit o mafia in the story line so if that is a pull for you, you should totally read this book. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.

Title: Accidental Protector
Author: Nicole Snow
Genre: Contemporary New Romance
**RECEIVED ARC FOR HONEST REVIEW**
Out of the gate Snow delivers a story with believable characters, flaws and all, with such clarity and empathy that as a reader you become invested in them and their story. What makes this book a great read is how Snow draws you in and entwined you in the story in such a short amount of time and with just enough detail. The details are not overdone so the reader is bogged down. The book and story flow. Hercules and Lucky met in a twist of fate and they may fight what they have but only because they they have bigger fish to fry; finding themselves and each other along the way.
Hercules may be a bounty hunter and the night he met Lucky he missed his man but he sure got his girl. Guess bounty hunting never felt so good. And Lucky: listen to your heart and your gut. Oh, and Lucky's moral of the story: gotta take care of you and stop trying to please everyone cause it only leads to sorrow. Seriously, this book was a wonderful read that kept my interest with its story and steam. Nicole Snow knows how to write a story. It's why I keep coming back.

Lucky Waking Up Married To Hercules 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh holy WOW!!! You are definitely going to love the storm that is brewing between the pages of this book!!! I love a book that can transport you into the lives of the characters you are reading about and Nicole Snow does just that. This book deserves more than five stars, add a few thunder claps, lightning bolts and a lot of fireworks.

Mindy just needs to get herself together and get everybody off her back after dumping her douche of a fiance. She just doesn't expect to wake up next to a smoking hot Hercules of a man after a winning night at the casino in next to nothing with a banging hangover.

I received this book with the understanding I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Mindy and Noah. What would you do if when trying to get away from one man you find yourself married to another? Also what if you don't realize because you were drunk when you did it that you are married or what your new spouses name is? Mindy and Noah find themselves in exactly this predicament. To make matters worse not only do they need to figure out what they mean to each other they have to keep some very bad men from finding out about them as well. So what do you do when you find yourself married in Reno? Divorce, or see if there is a HEA at the end of this rainbow?

This is an amazing book. It has its ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. You will be riding the roller-coaster with these characters and not want to get off. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Mindy went to Reno after finally getting the proof that she needed on her cheating, lying fiance after she dumped him at the airport just as he was going on a "business" trip with his girlfriend (oh I meant secretary). When she wakes up in her underwear in a very white room, in bed with some gorgeous Hercules she really can't remember a thing...….... She does the only thing that feels right she sneaks out to get home, that's where she realises she's wearing a gorgeous emerald wedding set. Noah has a huge headache, no memory of the night before but is watching a gorgeous woman crawl out of his door. He remembers she won at blackjack and called her Lucky, once he's thinking clearer he tries to piece the night but finds receipts for $4000 for a wedding set and one for $1000 for a wedding????? Now he really needs answers from the missing lady. This is an excellent read as it starts with a puzzle whilst gaining action, suspense, emotion, loyalty and protectiveness. You will certainly fall in love with the characters but some you will hate......

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Mindy's Reno trip was her way of reinventing herself, to break out of her good girl shell and celebrate the bullet she dodged by not marrying Charlie. Mindy's Reno trip was never meant to involve waking up next to the sexy, hulking beast of a man she met the night before.
Noah was on a mission of revenge when he crossed paths with Mindy. One drink leads to another and he wakes up to find they did much more than drink the night before...and that puts Mindy in danger. They try to ignore the insane attraction they share; their flirting and joking manages to keep it simmering just under the surface. Neither party remembers how they got to this place in time, but neither denies their growing feelings. As the danger escalates, Noah vows to protect Mindy until his last breath.
OH.MY.GOD. I FREAKIN LOVED THIS BOOK💞 ! AMAZING STORY, ACTION PACKED AND UNPREDICTABLE ! ONE WILD RIDE FILLED WITH SECRET GLANCES AND RAW, ALL-CONSUMING SEX ! ! ! SMOKING HOT 🔥🔥🔥 !

Holy Hercules, this author does it an with another amazing amazing amazing read. A read about Mindy aka Lucky, who escapes to Reno to find herself after leaving her controlling, cheating ex fiancée and Noah aka Hercules, who is a bounty hunter, searching for his missing cousin. The story starts out strong with a few chuckles when Lucky finds herself in an embarrassing situation and the story stays strong as these two, who are now married but don’t remember a thing, get tangled up in each other’s drama.
What a READ !!! I so adore and love this author as her writing style is so unlike others....yes there’s drama but it’s not over the top...yes there’s humour that had me chuckling...yes there’s dirty talk that made me all tingly....yes there’s suspense that had me devouring the pages to see what will happen next....yes there’s a twist near the end that I didn’t see coming....kudos to the author....yes there’s steam but it’s sensual too and I didn't skip over those pages as this author gets you invested in the characters and you want to read their very intimate times because it’s so much more than just lust....yes there’s a HEA ending with an epilogue that all I can say is PERFECTION !!
I loved these two and they have made it into my top 5 of all couples, Hercules, the tough ex military man who will do anything for his family but also has a soft and vulnerable spot right from the beginning for Lucky. Lucky, a woman who has always done what others wanted her to do, even if it didn’t make her happy, trying to please everyone but not herself, finally get a backbone and stands up for what she wants, getting a feisty personality that kicked a**. I also loved how when the obstacles in between Hercules and Lucky, they work together and don’t run from each other, not matter how scary....which makes this author and the story unique and the perfect romantic suspenseful read. The characters make each other stronger and better, facing their fears head on while the other stands beside them, supporting them. I also have to mention that I LOVED how the author didn’t portray Hercules as a man wh***, not mentioning other women, no jealousies or comparing...made him a REAL man.
Once again, kudos to the author and I hope they stay unique as I love reading books like this, that in my eyes is a true romantic suspense, hard to find but when I do find it, it’s a true gem...so much so that even though I received an advanced copy, I had to buy it to show my support and because I couldn’t give it 10+++++++ stars.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Another amazing book by Nicole. Loved it, you are gripped from the beginning, the banter is great, secrets, suspense and it’s deliciously sexy. Noah is awesome, he will have you gasping at some of the inappropriate things he says, but hey, he’s sexy as heck so we can’t hold that against him. Mindy calls off her wedding to Charlie and high tails it to Reno to start over. One night, one stranger, what can go wrong? You wake up married and he’s in your bed and you can’t remember what happened, all you have to go on is what he tells you. He’s good I’ll give him that, fake wifey, what happens when your ex fiancé finds out what you’ve done? That’s right all hell’s about to break loose. Great book, no spoilers here, highly recommend it.

Accidental Protector by Nicole Snow a five-star read you will want to protect. This was such a good read I read it in one sitting, Noah Allen Bernard is a heap of yum with a striking resemblance to Hercules according to a source I have called Mindy Marie Austin, and I trust the source even though she has shown bad taste in the past. You know what Hercules sounds amazing to celebrate a big win with, maybe even a teeny tiny win. (if I’m honest I would celebrate anything with him). Mindy has really shown herself in this story, she went from being someone who I thought would crumble without a strong back bone and in the end, she became a woman who had the strongest of backbones. I loved how the story was mostly told in Reno, it was nice to see this place in a book where we would normally see Vegas, nice to see everything about this book really.
