Rules of Protection by Alison Bliss Review

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

It’s rule breaker Emily Foster’s birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately, she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she’s entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.

When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can’t have.

Jake’s as hot as he is infuriating, and she can’t help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake’s determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she’s determined to get into the right ones—his.

Review

Let me start off by saying I loved this book! I loved it so much I read it twice and loved it even more the second time! This amazing debut by Alison Bliss is funny, sexy, suspenseful and heartfelt. It really does have it all!

Emily Foster just wanted to get laid on her birthday. Unfortunately, witnessing a mob hit has really stuck a wrench in those plans. Thrust into the Witness Protection Program and the very capable hands of FBI Special Agent Jake Ward might not be so bad, if only she could get him to lighten up a bit!

When their cover is blown Jake has to think fast in order to keep Emily safe and he decides to hide her in his hometown. What could be safer than the backwoods of Texas? Jake really has his work cut out for him when it comes to Emily though, a city girl at heart, can she handle life on a bird farm?

The relationship between these two is hilarious; they go back and forth from wanting to strangle each other to wanting to rip each other’s clothes off!

Aside from Jake and Emily, there is an amazing cast of characters that are written so well they jump right off the pages. I especially enjoyed the bond that is formed between Emily and local Native American Tracker/Diner owner. There is only a hand full of books that have made me laugh out loud and I now count Rules of Protection on that list. Along with the hilarity there were super steamy scenes, nail biting suspense and a few moments where I definitely needed the tissues!

I could really go on and on about this story but I don’t want to give too much away, just go read it and you will understand what I’m talking about. I am impatiently waiting for Alison’s next book!!!
