ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 7, 2015

Alexis Yeung did everything right….only to watch everything go horribly, horribly wrong. Broken and angry, Alexis high-tails it to Europe, determined to face the world on her own terms and without consequence. Which includes a mind-blowing night with a sexy, scarred stranger.

Except, embittered former pararescuer Luke Jackson isn’t exactly a stranger. He’s supposed to keep an eye on Alexis without her knowing. Ending up in bed together was definitely not the plan. Now he’s chasing her (admittedly hot) ass across Europe, a game of cat and mouse that always ends with the two of them tangled up in the sheets.

Something in their scarred, damaged souls calls to each other. And God help them, the sex in unbelievably hot. But if Alexis discovers who Luke really is, he’ll lose the one thing that makes him feel whole.

••••••••••••

REVIEW: HIS LOVER TO PROTECT is the third installment in Katee Robert’s adult, contemporary OUT OF UNIFORM erotic romance series. This is nurse Alexis Yeung, and former pararescuer Luke Jackson’s storyline. HIS LOVER TO PROTECT can be read as a standalone without any difficulty. Any information from the previous storyline is imparted where necessary. Alexis is the sister to Avery Yeung (Falling For His Best Friend #2).

Told from dual third person perspectives (Alexis and Luke) HIS LOVER TO PROTECT follows Luke Jackson as he pursues Alexis Yeung throughout Europe. Alexis is running away from everything back home including her sister’s growing family, and the memories of what was and what could have been. Meeting Luke Jackson and falling in love was never on the agenda, but the two broken souls connected until the truth was finally revealed-Luke’s presence in Alexis’s life was no accident.

Alexis is a bitter young woman whose life has been riddled with too many losses, and her future is uncertain. Her personal pain is reflected in her caustic and angry personality, and harsh responses towards Luke and everything he represents. Alexis’s relationship with her own family is acrimonious as culture and society continue to collide, and in this it made for some uncomfortable emotions and attitude f. Luke is a former parajumper whose career ended when an IED destroyed any hopes of returning to military service; his ongoing pain and recovery continues to push our hero to the breaking point of his personal growth.

The relationship between Alexis and Luke is slow to build as Alexis continues to push Luke at every opportunity. Their combative role-play finds Luke hunting for Alexis at every turn but Alexis is unaware of the reasons Luke is by her side. The $ex scenes are seductive and hot.

The secondary characters are limited as the storyline focuses on the building relationship between Alexis and Luke, and the secrets our couple keep from one another.

HIS LOVE TO PROTECT is a story about family and loss; heartbreak and pain; love and the potential for a future. The premise follows our couple through Europe as Alexis visits the places she has heard about most of her life- it is a bucket list of places to go and people to see. The road to happiness had a few twists and turn; a couple of bumps along the highway to love.
