Paladin's Woman

From the back...Nick Romero, Navy Seal, DEA agent, Latin lover, was a man alone--and satisfied to remain that way. Until the night he rescued Addy McConnell, a tall, coll woman with hair like fire. And, rumor had it, a soul like ice. But anyone who fought off a potential kidnapper as fiercely as she had must have a tigress sleeping under her skin. And Nick knew he was just the man to awaken Addy and make her purr. Addy McConnell felt like a stranger in her own body. For Nick Romero raised in her a near-consuming hunger more frightening than the threats against her. Now he swore to protect her life with his own. But could she give him what he desired in return?In my Opinion...Nick was first intoduced to us in 'This Side of Heaven' where he was gunned down by a mad man (that is how he injured his leg). Nick is a loner and has no intention of settling down until he meets Addy. Nick saves Addie's life one night when someone attempted to kidnap her. Nick has now been hired as Addy's bodyguard. Being with Addy 24/7 shows Nick that there is more to Addy than what she allows others to see. Nick makes Addie feel feminine and beautiful. Nick and Addie are highly attracted to each other, but Addie is reluctant to get involved. She was burned once by her ex and is afraid of getting hurt again. Besides Nick and Addie fighting their feelings for each other-they still have a potential dangerous kidnapper on their hands. This is a fast paced enjoyable read and a great addition to The Protectors series.
