The hero, a somewhat lost war veteran takes up a job protecting the heroine, a famous rock star, whose stalker was recently released. Instant attraction abound, but the interaction, friendship and feelings took some time to build. The heroine is independent, and tough with a sweet side. The hero is protective but suffers too much of the "I'm not good enough" syndrome, which really gets on my nerves towards the end, after everything they've been through.
It would've been so much better if he'd come to his senses earlier and they face that final battle as a bona fide couple. The suspense is good but also a bit of an overkill. For a person as nice as the heroine, there's too many people wishing her harm, to the point of being ridiculous. But it's an entertaining read overall, with a decent amount of steam.
