“Her PI Protector” talks about a woman who witnessed a crime and an investigator. Well, I think the author has focused more on romance, because there are less action scenes (which I want to read).
Another is, the book didn’t answer how Maria, the murderer, tried to threaten/kill Sky or did she ask other person to do the thing?
It’s a good book if you’re into romance. Just don’t expect too much suspence (maybe that’s just a subgenre).
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

It was hard to even give this book 2 stars, but there were a few places that I felt engaged so it did deserve better than one. But if you're looking for suspense, look elsewhere.
Supposedly the threat to Skylar is so high that she needs 24/7 protection from PI Julien. And yet, there is one place in the story where absolutely nothing happens for 2 days, giving her plenty of time to hang out with her brother at their parents' home and contemplate how she feels about where the relationship with Julien is headed. Another place has no threat whatsoever for weeks. Sorry. I can't reconcile those two extremes. And that is NOT suspense.
I also feel just a wee bit of research about Texas could have helped. Just a note, I never call my boots "cowgirl boots", they're just "boots" or if I'm being pretty specific I might call them "western boots". And I laughed out loud when I read the part that you can get from north of Irving, Texas to Fredericksburg in "about an hour or two". Really? Even a quick search on a map application will tell you that's 4 hours minimum even without factoring in traffic!
You also have these two characters wrestling with how there is no way to reconcile one wanting to live in the country, and the other the city, and that being one major reason this relationship cannot be allowed to go anywhere. Yet they manage to commute back and forth, split time on her parents' ranch and in his city apartment, for well over a month, and can't come to the realization that there could be a compromise? (Oh by the way, here's another place where a bit of research could have helped. The Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex is HUGE, with lots of smaller cities and suburbs between and around the two larger cities. There are people with daily commutes longer than it would take to get form some open ranchland north of the metro area to downtown Dallas. So a compromise in this would be easily possible.) Not wanting to spoil everything, I won't go into the other major hang-ups these two deal with.
My biggest problem besides the above items was the poor editing. Of course, a good editor would have caught the above major problems, but there were also several minor things scattered through the book that should have been caught. Skylar noticed the attacker's "dark hair and dark eyes. His eyes were also dark", and a person Skylar and Julien interview answering the "question you didn't ask" but that same question was asked just a couple paragraphs above are but two of the most glaring examples.
