Chris Williams is used to making sacrifices. For years he's done his duty by his family and his calling as he awaited the one person that was meant for him. When she finally came into his life she was nothing like the woman he'd expected. Instead of being the warrior ready to help him protect his family and the humans under his care he got.....I had purchased Tall, Dark and Lonely prior to this and I was pretty excited to begin a new series. This book was almost a complete turn-off and if I had purchased it first I would have never bought the rest. A big deal is made of how very helpless our heroine is and after initially being blindsided by her physical attributes our "hero" spends the majority of the book being disappointed in her. He considers her a burden and doesn't hesitate to show that. He also spends a great deal of time talking about wanting to spank her. What is this new trend in books? Is it just this author? Even in the next one of the series I read it goes back to the threat of spanking. Is that because of the 50 Shades books? I don't know but it quickly grew irritating. Also, our helpless hopeless heroine is so hung up on chocolate she whimpers when she is out. Really? Whimpers! She curls in a fetal position when there is conflict.! She's so hugely paranoid that someone wants her computer program it's a turn-off also. I liked Chris so much in the first book but he quickly became very unlikable in this one.
