Review: Good tease for the next up leading man

I didn't read book number one in The Protectors series but I am a huge fan of mages and I thought that the premise of magical protectors was promising - and I was really looking forward to seeing mage firefighters after reading the cover blurb.So I ended up a bit disappointed because I was expecting a story revolving more around the firefighting and instead the magical leads who are victims of a magic sucking artifact that force the past almost lovers into very close proximately. And since the magical drain will eventually cause their deaths, the impending doom was supposed to overcome the hero's reservations about the heroine's dangerous calling to win the pair a HEA, but I didn't buy it - he just had too much baggage to pack it up and so easily move on down the road.The end result of all of the above was a pairing that wasn't very memorable - I thought that the next up leading man was far more intriguing than the lead here - and on the whole Protector ended up more on the side of 'okay' for me.
