Henrietta:
But everybody calls me Henry since I hate my name. I divorced my husband and ran home to find myself and recover from a bad marriage where he steadily took away every part of me until I didn't even recognize myself. Now with my two daughters, I'm struggling to make ends meet but it's still better than living under my ex's thumb. Until one night two guys come into the bar I'm bartending at determined to cause trouble. And that's when I'm saved by an off-duty SWAT team member, Cole. He's sexy, controlled and so full of muscles he looks like a cartoon character. And he's interested in me. I can feel it. But I'm still trying to figure out my own life and I'm not looking to have another man control me. But somebody out there has plans for me and Cole is the only one who can put the pieces together and save me. Can he also prove to me that he's not looking to take over my life, he just wants to be part of it? To love me for me?
Cole:
The sassy little bartender got my attention when she told me off. And from that second on I was hers whether she knew it or not. Whether she wanted my heart or not. There's something going on in her life that has me concerned for her well-being and I have no intention of letting those forces take her away from me before I can prove to her that I'm the man she's been looking for. The man that wants to add to her life, not take it over. The man who loves her so much that he's willing to wait as long as it takes for her to love me as much as I love her.

This is a sweet, sexy story with a guaranteed HEA and a little bit of danger to spice it up!

Cole and Henrietta

Cole is a steamy story of love abused. Love lost and love found. Cole is big and strong and dominant. Henrietta is leery of men who give off his vibes because of the huge mistake she made with her ex husband. Loved this insta love story. Fast paced but not lacking in angst or excitement.

Even for a novella it was horribly written. There was no time even spent trying to get us to relate to the characters, everything just felt icky and rushed.

I was hoping for more from this, actually DNF'd.

His to Protect

One beer and a robbery attempt brings Cole to the love of his life. He saw her and her daughters and knew she was important to him. It’s a fast read with some drama and a whole lot of heat. The HEA is sweet as pie and so worth the read!

pretty good read

This was pretty good. A little rushed but hey it’s a short story. Glad Henrietta found her HEA with Cole.
