Rules of Protection is the first book of the Tangled In Texas series and wow it is fantastic.
Alison Bliss has a way of writing that will have you hooked before the end of the first chapter if not the first page. I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions while reading this.
The main characters background stories are riveting, the sexual tension between these two will have you shouting, when it finally does happen it is so steamy and you will be screaming yes!
The whole story is quite unique and a fantastic start to the series. I am eagerly awaiting book 2.
4.5 ( )

This book is so good.
Funny and a bit crazy.
There are no intimate details of anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
No cheating.
Other woman drama of sorts, the heroine is jealous of a female friend from the Hero's past.
HEA. ( )

Fantastic debut novel from author Alison Bliss. A great combination of small town romance, suspense, and snarky humor that kept me turning the pages. After witnessing a horrific crime our heroine is whisked away, given a new identity, and temporarily put under the protection of Jake Ward. When Jake realizes she is still in danger he takes matters into his own hands and does the only thing he can do. Kidnaps her!! Really a very entertaining read that I recommend to everyone! ( )

Light-hearted romantic comedy with a dose of suspense? Yes, please!

Emily accidently witnesses a mob crime one night and is placed in to witness protection, with Jake as her chaperone. And boy did she give him a run for his money!

I laughed out loud so much with this book! And that's not to say that the sexual tension between these two were not off the charts! Throw in the forbidden romance factor (special agents can't date witnesses), and you have one fun read!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Wow, what a totally awesome book from debut author Allison Bliss! Rules of Protection grabs you right from the beginning and the spine-tingling roller coaster never lets up. The two primary characters, Emily Foster and Jake Ward, have amazing yet complicated chemistry and their journey is replete with desire, loathing and love. Ms. Bliss is an excellent storyteller and her words kept me mesmerized from the very first chapter.

I loved Emily's character. Not only is she smart, slick and sexy, she has a lot of spunk and determination. She lost both her parents in a tragic car accident and was placed in the foster care system when she was fourteen. So forming and maintaining friendships is hard for her because she fears losing them. She always says what's on her mind which sometimes gets her into trouble. Now Emily is 28, hiding from the mob, and falling in love with her FBI protector in rural Texas.

Jake's character is intriguing. He is a hot FBI agent who does everything by the book. Rules and regulations are his mantra, that is until he becomes Emily's protector. He is knowledgeable about everything and anything, and as a result, tends to get on Emily's nerves. So Emily pushes his buttons with her tenacity, as Jake struggles to maintain his calm. When Jake finally puts the rules of the FBI aside and gives into his lust, sparks ignite. Above all, he is good to his family and protects those he cares about with a vengeance.

The secondary characters are wonderful foils for Emily and Jake. Junior, Cowboy, and Hank are insightful and entertaining. Their personalities intertwine perfectly with the plot and the conflicts that are going on. Overall, this is a suspenseful, sometimes laugh-out-loud romantic adventure that kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Don't pass up the opportunity to read Rules of Protection.
