Katee Roberts has been one of those authors that I instantly gravitate towards since she has a way of bewitching her readers. I always find myself getting entangled with her sexy, steamy and yet beautiful emotional stories. And in her newest release His Lover to Protect , I found myself devouring this sweet, sexy, yet touching story in one sitting.

If you have read the previous book, Falling for His Best Friend, Alexis Yeung's story was one that I couldn't wait to read since I really wanted her to get her HEA after knowing what she had to endure. Honestly, Alexis's story broke my heart knowing that not only she lost her mother to cancer but also Alexis also had cancer. But luckily for her, she was able to treat and catch her cancer before it spread. And in order to prevent the cancer from recurring Alexis made the ultimate choice to have a hysterectomy. This choice was not an easy choice but she knew she had to do it in order to live but this choice left her feeling broken since her fiance Eric decided to end the engagement since she was considered useless to him since she would not be able to provide him children. And to top it off, her grandfather reminded her what a disappointment she is to the family. And so in His Lover to Protect, Alexis is currently in Europe traveling on her own doing her own self-discovery trip. She didn't tell her family where she is going in Europe and so her family secretly hires Ryan Flannery's friend, Luke Jackson, a former pararescurer to keep an eye on her.
Luke secretly tries to follow Alexis as she travels around Europe. Well he tried his best to keep it a secret, but unfortunately his damaged knee makes it difficult to keep him in stealth mode. So when Alexis spots Luke following her, these two embark on a love/hate banter relationship. With hot sexual tension brewing between these two, it was only a matter for these two to get entangled in bed. As feelings begins to intensify as they trek around Europe, what happens when Alexis learns that meeting Luke was no coincidence?

I absolutely loved and adored His Lover to Protect. Katee did a fabulous job showcasing romance and an emotional story line that was filled with depth and substance. Katee allowed her readers to feel the raw emotions and vulnerabilities of both Luke and Alexis. She made readers see that Luke and Alexis are not broken people. What I really loved about this book was that Luke and Alexis found emotional healing with each other. Alexis showed Luke how beautiful he is and that his physical scars didn't make him broken. And Luke was able to heal the emotional burden that was inflicted on people who made her feel worthless. I loved that Luke and Alexis love for each other healed their hearts. So if you are looking for a book that had a touching and moving story line that was so tangible and palpable, then I highly recommend you to read His Lover to Protect.
