When I started reading Past My Defenses, I was trying to get a feel for the story. So, it took me a couple chapters to get into the groove of the story. Once I found it, I found it funny and entertaining. I mean Vanessa's allergies are what almost get her killed along with psycho on the loose. Poor Dane doesn't know how to handle his stubborn "mate". To top it off, both Dane and Vanessa don't really know how the other feels, so they feel like the other doesn't understand what the other is going through. Then you have the secondary characters that make Dane and Vanessa's life a bit more interesting.You have Jordan who is the Alpha of the pack who had his eye on Vanessa, but is a little too late. So, he has to tout his authority. Travis he's flying under the radar, because he gives off the impress that he's a bit slow on the uptake. But in reality, he's pretty quick and witty when he lets his guard down. Christa Dane's younger sister. Her part is pretty minor, but she definitely leaves an impression.Here's the bottom line: If you are looking something fun with some quirky characters with a dash of suspense you might want to give Past My Defenses are try. Some of those lines will have you busting a gut.Favorite Lines (This Christa having dinner with Dane and Vanessa. Christa is sharing embarrassing stories:"You know, Dane really likes wolves."Christa shot him a look--a look that promised hours of embarrassment. ..."Does he?" Vanessa asked. "I had no idea.""Yep. He used to watch all these nature documentaries. My mom worried he'd be too dorky to date."Vanessa tilted her head and fought a smile. "And here he is--all grown up, and still interested in wolves."He knew it was a mistake to let his sister and girlfriend together. This night was going to be playback for both of them.Copy provided by the publisher
