Protecting Caroline (SEAL of Protection, #1)

by Susan Stoker

Matthew "Wolf" Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn't have to do it very often. He'd been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.

When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she'd ever seen. She also never expected he'd be so easy to talk to. She knew he'd never be interested in talking to her if he hadn't been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.

Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she'd see, or need, Wolf, she'd be sorely mistaken.

Just a wee bit too corny for me...

I did listen to Protecting Caroline the whole way through but I think that was because of Stella Bloom's narration more than the story. I just found myself smirking too much at the OTT drama and thinking it read/sounded like a TV drama from the '80s. I had been planning to try a Susan Stoker for years and in all that time, I had no idea she wrote clean romance...THE HORROR!!

No sexy shenanigans but there were a few kissing scenes and "talk" of how well they connected. Nope, not good enough for me to really see their connection. This was insta-love at its finest and considering how invisible and forgettable the heroine was, I found it a wee bit hard to believe. After their drama, he doesn't check in to see how she is but gets upset when she's not excited to see him when he does eventually remember she exists.

It wasn't all bad and at times I was really sucked into the drama but in the end, it was just OK for me. Don't judge by my review alone, you may find that Protecting Caroline is perfect for you.

I forgot how much I loved this story! And Stella Bloom is a great narrator!
