Protecting What’s His by Tessa Bailey

4.5 Holy Burning Britches Batman stars.

Arrogant, take charge male? Check. 

Filthy smack talking mouth. Check. 

Sexy, jealous possessiveness. Check. 

And finally, neck-hair raising caveman tactics all in the name of protecting your woman. Check.

Looks like all the necessary items to make a good time happen in the form of one Lt. Derek Tyler of the Chicago PD.

Ginger Peet is running from her past (literally) with a bag full of cash she “borrowed” from her crack-whore mother (not an insult, but an actual fact). She took her teenage sister Willa with her to Chicago for a fresh start and to make sure that Willa doesn’t end up like their mother, a train wreck. The last thing she needed was to move into an apartment next door to a cop. But hey! What’s a little larceny and kidnapping between friends? Especially ones that can talk the panties off of her (also not a euphemism but a fact).

  

Yes. Derek. Yes we do….

Is this Shakespeare in disguise? Nope. Will you wish you never have to leave the book world after reading this story? Absolutely not. This book is a rip roaring good time, complete with hilarious and sassy dialogue between the sisters and vagina fanning dirty talk from Derek.

Aaand that’s all there really is to it with this book.

Writing: Highly entertaining.

Characters: Low-dimensional but in a really good way (easy to read). Sometimes you just want a dash of angst and not drowning in your own pool of tears and snot.

Recommend: Yes. In one sitting. On a slow day.

Alone.
