Nightfire by Lisa Marie Rice

Just finished reading this book today, and I thought it was an okay read. It was a very quick read and I thought the description of Mike’s character in the book did not match the cover. They described him as an average height, bodybuilder type of guy. Anyways, since it was a quick read, I thought the relationship between the main characters Mike and Chloe went way too fast. They literally fell in lust and love with one another from the beginning. Chloe has been in the hospital most of her life so she still wants to see the world and she’s still a little weak. The ending made up for the fast progress in their relationship though. 
The verdict: Still a good read. If you’re looking for a quick read or want to start a new series then read this series. This is actually the third series in theProtectors series so you might want to start from the beginning. I read this book first so that’s probably why I thought it was only okay. 
The description:
Chloe Mason’s childhood memories consist of seemingly endless hospital stays. Now all grown up and healthy, her determination to fill the gaping holes in her past leads her to her long-lost brother, Harry … which brings Harry’s friend and business partner, Mike Keillor, crashing into her life and her heart.

Former Marine Force Recon sniper and SWAT officer—a martial arts expert and owner of a successful security company—Mike can deal coolly and efficiently with any threat … until he’s blindsided by something he never expected: fierce, fiery passion … and love.

But when Chloe inadvertently crosses the Russian mob, Mike realizes that evil is darkening his world once again. He has already lost his family; he will not lose the woman who enflames him, who makes him whole. Failure is not an option.
