Don't let this peaceful cover fool you, this is not a simple cookie-cutter romance!
Alright. So I stayed up extra late to write this review because I don't want to risk forgetting anything I want to say after falling asleep.
Small intro: I literally hated any time I had to put this book down. I am super glad it is the weekend and I could finally finish it!
First things first: The cover for Protecting You is beautiful and speaks to a lighthearted read. BUT it did not reveal to me how bada** I would find the protagonist in this story. Ava is awesome. I might be biased (I did study Forensic & Investigative Sciences in college). I'm not sure I could have related to a character more if you named her Samantha Britt. She is smart, spunky, and loyal. All of these things made me like her instantly.
Overall: Protecting You begins with the reader being introduced to weird tension between Ava and her best friend, Jeremy's, brother. I really can't say much for fear of spoilers, but basically something happens where Ava and Zane (the brother) are forced to spend time together and confront their issues. Everything that happens between any character seemed realistic and practical to me. There were no instantaneous romances. Instead, the gradual development of affection honestly sent my own heart soaring with happiness. I could not get enough of Amanda Siegrist's characters.
Special Note: In Protecting You, relationships and characters are sometimes explained through well-written flashbacks. Amanda Siegrist really did a great job at giving me better insight and understanding into what motivated certain characters' actions and behaviors. I found it to be a unique style, and it was one I enjoyed reading.
So, if you are looking for a lighthearted adult romance, look no further! Protecting You is full of friendship, loss, healing, and a love which will leave you smiling for days. Well done, Amanda Siegrist!
