4 out of 5I fell for Sloan's writing and her delicious hero, Dylan Caprese, in Unexpected Angel and I have been salivating over the teasers that I had seen of Unexpected Protector. Tommy Reed is not a domly Dom but the way that he cares for Holly and helps her to believe in herself and her worth makes him truly worthy of Holly's submission.Sloan's work is not the kink fest that one would typically expect to find in a BDSM book, but that is the beauty of the stories that Sloan shares in her books.  The lifestyle is about far more than sex and Sloan presents this in a unique way.  She puts a lot of emphasis on the emotions involved than on the sex. The sexy times are still immensely well written, it's just that the story side and the emotional side of her characters' lives are the focus. Tommy and Holly's relationship is full of events that test both of their emotional sanities, but with the help of their friends in the Isthmus Alliance and the strength of their bond; the couple thrive.  Holly, especially, finds her strength and sets about making her life and the plan for her life better.  Everyone had to deal with their own emotions after the repercussions of Holly's actions at the end of Unexpected Angel, but it's the ending of Unexpected Protector that pulled at my heart.  Sloan blindsided me with a cliffhanger that has my heart in my throat.  After thoroughly enjoying the latest installment in the Isthmus Alliance series, I will be pacing the floors and fretting until I have the next tale.
