It starts out a little slow but doesn’t take long before you
are pulled in as Shane finds out the type of women he thought he wanted isn’t
his type at all once Phoebe walks into his office. He needs one now and Phoebe
is the one in front of him when he needs one
the most. Phoebe grabs his attention from the start with her entertaining
interview from her resume that kept me laughing to those old boyfriends who doesn’t
know what NO means. It is touch and goes if Shane will hire her but once he did
he was so very glad. Phoebe takes not only his office but Shane by storm as she
puts her outstanding brain to use turning his office into a well oiled machine.
These two are total opposites of each other, but they seem to be able to
balance each other out, where she needs a little more serious he adds to that,
where he needs to learn to let his hair down she is able to pull the fun man
underneath, all the starch out. Oh things get pretty serious with their
relationship and the murders in the town. I liked the mystery was it murder or
was it suicide? It seems Phoebe is getting a little to close to something and
that something would love to have her dead. The author gives you a well mixture
of suspense, humor, mystery, murder, drama, romance, surprises all mixed around
a death along with sorrow, pain, lost of one person death.
Ryan gives you wonderful characters you can relate to. Phoebe father is something else I just loved him as he pulls a few words tricks on Shane. She finds out a few things about her past and why her father did what he did. I loved the humor, uneasiness, as well as the baiting between Phoebe and Shane. Their relationship is fun, but they do mean business when it comes to murder. Phoebe is smart and very intelligent even though she doesn’t seem very smart at first. She is a shaker and really shakes things up for this small town and its people. I really enjoyed all the twists and turns. Phoebe wants stability she has grown up with an over powering father who is bigger than life and always there for her but with him being in the military they moved around a lot and her name hasn’t help her find her place in life. Ryan wants a family and seems kind of a player at first. He has gone through every woman in town looking in all the wrong place and finding the most boring women. With Phoebe, he finds what he is missing and works to making up for lost time. When her father comes in the picture he finds he might need to put up a bigger fight lord that man is scary.
This is a great addition to the series filled with all the things that makes an outstanding read from the humor, mystery, suspense along with the thrills, a few breath stopping moments along with the adventure and the delightful fun romance. It was a book I couldn’t put down, a fun read with a very serious side that holds you spellbound with wonderful twists and turns and a few surprises.

Summary
Evers, Texas is Phoebe’s shot at leaving behind the
fun-loving woman no one takes seriously, and she’s determined to make it work.
Unfortunately, he’s determined to give up his steady, staid ways and he wants
her help. Can they meet in the middle and make love work?
It might have taken Phoebe Joy a little while to realize there’s more to life than having fun, but she’s got the message now. She knows, if she doesn’t make changes, she’s going to lose out on her chance at love and a family of her own. It isn’t easy to erase the mistakes of her past and remake herself, and the oh-so-sexy Shane Bishop is tempting her like no man has before. To top it all off, when she stumbles on a mysterious death in her new town, the dream she’s trying to hold onto is in more danger than she realizes.
Shane Bishop knows how everyone sees him. He’s the boring brother. The one you can count on to solve your problems, to consistently be exactly the way he’s always been. Day after day, after dreary day. When Phoebe shows up in his office, he’d be an idiot to try to deny the way her beauty and excitement tempt him. And if there’s one thing Shane has never been, it’s stupid. But when she uncovers a murder the town never even realized had happened, her life is in danger and he’ll have to race to save the woman who’s stolen his heart.
Desire and Protect is a standalone book that can be read in any order within the series.
