Something Beautiful

by Anne R. Boyden

A Short Military Romance

Natalie:
I felt his eyes on me before I even saw him. It was like an out of body experience, and as soon as I met his liquid whiskey gaze, I knew he's going to make me his. Utterly and completely his.

Carter:
I saw her the moment she entered the room. Her beauty paralyzed me, and that says a lot, given I'm ex-military and don't get bemused easily. She's all I ever wanted and damn if I let this chance of a lifetime slip away.

Something Beautiful is a steamy romance with an alpha sergeant and a smart and independent heroine. HEA guaranteed!

2 Stars

Tons of editing errors.

An okay story.

I have 2 more in my omnibus, but not in any hurry to read them.

Adult scenes are medium steam at most.

Sweet and sexy story but could not finish

Something Beautiful is a nice story about Carter and Natalie. He is thirty-six years old, ex military and owns a private security company with two buddies. Natalie is a photographer who basically does boudoir and glamour shots for female clients of all ages. The story is a sweet insta-love short story that is lite and fun with some sexy added in.

I was not able to finish and it had nothing to do with the story or the writing but with the complete lack of proofreading. The first error was on the first page of the first chapter and they just kept adding up until I had to give up because it was just to distracting. I was really disappointed by this as I so wanted to see what happened to Carter and Natalie and read their HEA.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

A sweet and sexy, very short over the top romance between photographer Natalie, and ex military security hunk, Carter. Her job really didn't come into play so I'm not sure what the background story on her was supposed to imply. Maybe it was to show that she had a sensual eye for beauty in all people?
While I like a sweet and sexy read now and then, this one was a bit too short for me to feel the connection between Carter and Natalie. I got that it was an instalust/instalove relationship, but I didn't have enough to feel that it was real.
Still, I appreciate the focus Carter had on his dream girl Natalie, and the sweet HEA at the end.

Carter is ex-military, working in security now. He sees Natalie in the gym, and is in love. She's a free-lance photographer, doing mostly glam shots. She's a curvy girl who hates the gym, but joined because of nasty comments made about her by clerks in a shop. This is a real quick book - insta-love with an older man. It's flirty and steamy, and a good lunchtime read.

An enjoyable, fast pace, and steamy insta-love book one in the Her Protector series! The characters are likeable with instant and intense chemistry between them. It is a well written, well developed, funny, witty, and engaging page turner that moves at a brisk pace and will leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended!

Carter and Natalie meet at the gym and at first sight it is instant lust, instant attraction. Carter has never met a woman like her he is ex military and now owns a security business with his military friends and Natalie is a photographer.

An intense emotional and SEXY storyline that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and turning page after page throughout the whole book.

It caused me to lose quite a bit of sleep while I was reading it because it was so hard to put down at night.

This maybe be the quickest steamy read yet.
An instant attraction but it is a whole lot more.
Little drama
Alot fun
More steamy scenes would have been more than okay with me.
