A Veteran's Protection by Sadie King is definitely one of the better reads I have read in a while. It has plenty of intensity, enough spice, and the expected happy ever after. It is the first book of a series, which means I can't wait to read the next one.
The story introduced the small mountain town of Hope through the eyes of Alexandra "Lexi" Gibbs and Aiden Whitley. Lexi is twenty-three, curvy, with big brown eyes, brown hair, and is a virgin. She has one year left of school. In order to come to Hope, Lexi had traveled by bus for two days, as she had some property left to her by her late father, whom she never met. She is determined to sell, as she has debts and bills to pay. Aiden is a veteran who does security for Jake's Retreat, a place for veterans to get them ready for civilian life. He is tall, broad, dark headed, cropped short with a hint of stubble. He grew up in Kentucky, enlisted at seventeen, and has been out of the military for a few years.
Both Lexi and Aiden are trying to find their place in the world and make their home base. When they meet, they both have thoughts they don't expect, with the intense electricity between them feeling unreal. His protectiveness wins her over despite only knowing each other for a short time. His care and concern are something Lexi has not experienced in a long time.
If A Veteran's Protection doesn't give you fireflies, in all of its happy ever after and fast-paced relationship, I'm not sure what you were expecting. I recommend getting the bonus chapter as well to complete the happy ending. I can't wait to read the continuation of the series and other Sadie King books. This was exactly what I needed, and it was just the perfect length for a story.
