Mike Anderson is one heck of a cop, on a job that requires him to protect Scarlett Simpson by order of the Commissioner. Submission and Dominance aren't really in his repertoire, unless he's the one doing the dominating. Scarlett, however, is a well-known, very respected Domme, and she's determined to break through those tough-as-steel walls Mike has put up around himself. Between Scarlett pushing Mike's limits, and the danger lurking around the corner, will these two make it out safe and sound?I very much enjoyed Auctioned to the Honorable Dom. And going into Auctioned to Protect, Mike had a lot to prove to me as a reader. He had been such an insufferable, ignorant jerk during his sister's story that I wasn't entirely sure if I would connect with him as a character in his own. Luckily, Doris has a way with her words and her characters that draw you in and make you understand. Beyond his tough exterior and attitude, Mike had his own feelings and problems he was hiding. He's not as difficult as he seems, he just needed the right person to bring the better parts of him out.Scarlett, on the other hand, needed very little for me to like. She's strong as can be, takes nothing from no one, and isn't the least bit frightened to take what she wants or, for lack of better wording, make you take what you need. She's not afraid to be show her softer sides, either. Her character was just ... perfect. Especially for a Domme, and I'm not particularly big on Dommes, myself. I happen to think Scarlett might have taken a little more crap from Mike than she probably would a normal sub, but that was likely because of her very obvious attachment to the big lout.Doris keeps you turning the pages with the hints and danger of the stalker who is all too close to Scarlett's heels. Without giving anything away, who it was wasn't who I thought at all. As I've come to expect from this author, the smexy scenes were smoking and leaves nothing to the imagination. Poor Mike didn't know what hit him, hehe.I'm looking forward to the next after the little piece at the end! Get on that, Doris!
