Stacey Lynn is a first time read for me and I did find her book “His To Protect” interesting. I believe this is book two in her Fireside Series, bringing Katrina Wilson to the warmth and safety of Declan James.

HisToProtect-Fireside#2-StaceyLynn-July2016

Running from her powerful and abusive husband, Trina Wilson finds a place to rest to before she can plan her next move. Saving every penny and trying to feed Boomer, her only ally in this nightmare, she gets caught by Declan James and circumstances lead her to get a job at his restaurant.

Trying to keep the restaurant running that he and his wife had started, Declan is burning both ends of the candle after his wife leaves him. Trina coming into his life gives him a motivation and purpose to protect and love, and hope for a future that he had given up.

Interesting story as Declan and Trina get to know each other, with good supporting characters adding to the mix, “His To Protect” is a good read. There are a few occasions I felt the story dragged a bit and lost its grip, but overall it’s alright. Stacey did a good job with her characters and plot, but there’s definitely room for progression in her narration.
