Defying Her Billionaire Protector (Irresistible Mediterranean Tycoons, 2) Mass Market Paperback – December 20, 2016

Well written. I liked the characters. The H is a bit different than the normal Harlequin presents H, with his military background. Which is actually a nice change.As well as the h, I was curious how the author will pull that out. But it was actually quite well done.And instead of having a character dwelling on the results of her accident, she showed well her resilience and the way that she has had to accept her new condition to keep going.We have a little insight in the life of the previous characters from the first book of the series, which I always love in sequels. Too bad the length of the book didn't permit more of it.It makes me want to read the first.Good author

I really liked this story. They both had bad experiences but overcame them and had a HEA.

I enjoyed reading this book. The couple were both attracted to each other from the start but fought their feelings. It worked out in the end for them.

What an amazing book. There was nothing cookie-cutter about it, just a celebration of diversity, love and overcoming our perceived limitations, both physical and mental.

Great book great story great characters love the story line and great ending of the book was great as well

Great book!

4 1/2 STARS!With the second book in her Irresistible Mediterranean Tycoons duet, Angela Bissell takes us on a journey of healing and second chances. The characters are scarred by past experiences that they each carry their own guilt about, and while coming together during danger, they help each other to heal as they begin a foray into the unknown. I liked the story line a lot ... the only thing I wanted more of was a more realistic account of life in a wheelchair, and I was also surprised that it didn't include Leo having a fit about their relationship since he was so outspoken and protective of her previously. Over all, a nice conclusion to the duet and a lovely happy ending!Independent Marietta Vincenti is not happy when her brother and his security expert friend start taking over her life! Yes, she has a stalker that is getting way too close for comfort, but that doesn't mean she needs her life dictated to her!Nicolas Cesar whisks her away to his Mediterranean island to keep her safe while his people investigate every aspect of her life to see who is tormenting her. He has his own past that he likes to keep private, so he's not too keen on letting someone into his private sanctuary, but the more time they spend together, the more they enjoy each other's company. Will this all be over as soon as her stalker is caught, or will they decide they want a future together?

Nice to see a follow-up story ,but it's a bit one dimensional , found it really hard to see him , just could not get any sort of picture of him in my head .

I really enjoyed reading this book, and I hadn't read any of the authors books before. I have passed it on for reading, and hope they enjoy it as much as I did.

Middle aged I liked the characters specially giving characters with disabilities well done on her I know what its like
