REVIEW: For Her Protection by Amber A Bardan

You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. Yet pleasure seems to be the one and only thing on Charlize’s mind the moment Connor steamrollers into her life. Desperate to save her family company, prove she’s more than a pretty face and worthy of being CEO, pleasure is a distraction she can’t afford. She doesn’t want a bodyguard, especially not one whose caveman heroics kick her libido into hyper drive. But surrounded by enemies and an attacker on the loose, there’s only one man she can trust with her life. Connor knows better than to get personal with clients. Yet there couldn’t be anything more personal about his feelings for Charlize. From the moment he clapped eyes on her he wanted nothing more than to throw her over his shoulder and really give her something to scream about. He’ll get his uptight she-cat to unwind, preferably one orgasm at a time. With Connor in her office, her home, driving her to sweet, merciless distraction, there’s only so long Charlize can resist his sexy, dominant brand of protection. A Romantica® contemporary erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

RATING: 3 1/2 stars

My Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
It's been a long time since I've read any erotica. At one time it used to be my favorite genre.
The author has a wonderful way of writing this story that keeps you reading. The suspense could be better, the actual meat and potatoes of the storyline (beyond the erotic scenes) could be bettter written. However, we all know, its erotica, I don't read erotica for the storyline, I read it for the sex scenes.
And frankly, this was a really hot book. It was one where I couldn't read it at work. There was no way I could remain professional if I was caught reading this at work.
I can't say that the character development was there, because I saw very little of it. I didn't see much evolution of the characters, and they remained slightly more than two dimensional for me. While I may not have liked parts of the storyline or the character development, the sex scenes were really hot.
