Would have rated it higher if there were more hilarious conversations between Lorrie and her Viking. Good story but some plot points were resolved without enough exposition and her parents were a messy confusion. (

This fell a bit flat for me. Lorraine was kind of dumb. It was fairly obvious she didn't love Francis and she knew that, she just insisted on ignoring it which was dumb. I really didn't like how she was such a rude spoiled brat at the beginning when Ewan saved her from being killed. She didn't even bother to thank him and barely even acknowledged him. It didn't endear me to her.

Ewan not being able to read (he's dyslexic) was an interesting storyline, I particularly liked that Lorraine was the one to come up with a solution to the financial problems. There were some funny lines when Ewan got together with Neil and Jasper and I liked the storyline of the parents, but overall I just didn't feel the connection to the characters. (

Ewan is a third son of an Earl. He was also dyslexic and never learned to read. So his father considered him stupid and useless. So Ewan purchased a commission and went off to war. He ended up being a part of an elite secret ops type of group. His code name in the group was The Protector. So he’s hired by a Duke to be a bodyguard for his daughter, Lady Lorraine, to keep her from fortune hunters while she navigates the marriage mart. The girl has gotten it into her head to marry a pretty disreputable sort, a man only after her dowry. And consequently, Ewan’s cousin. Ewan happily takes the job, if only to thwart his cousin, his enemy from childhood. But the more time Ewan and Lorrie spend together, the more she begins to rethink her feelings for the man she wants to marry.

Lorrie was pretty annoying in the beginning. She seemed very young and immature. Headstrong and contrary. But she eventually calmed down and became a bit more likeable. Ewan was the strong, silent type, so it really was a matter of time before he captured Lorrie’s attention. I just didn’t quite understand what he saw in her. But nevertheless, these two grew on me. And it was cute seeing them get their HEA.

I will say that enjoy Ewan’s fellow “survivors” and I can’t wait to read their stories. (

This is my first book from this author, and I look forward to reading more. I ended up liking the main characters quite a bit, and the story was nicely fleshed out without being bogged down by needless details. (
