Ellie divorced Michael and moved with their daughter, Anna to Hartford to start over. She goes to work for Harvey and they are attracted to each other. Ellie starts getting threatening letters and hang up calls, scaring her. Harvey is falling in love with Ellie and Anna. Liked the ending. Would’ve liked an epilogue showing them happy and settled with the new baby.
Joseph is paying it forward, for a blessing done for him by, Ellie’s dad. When he hears she’s moving to town, he makes sure that she gets an interview, but once he meets her he has other plans, set for her. You see she will be Joseph’s assistant, but his sub when he was out. Therefore, she would be working very closely with Harvey the owner of the company.
When there is a miss communication, and she literally catches, Harvey with his pants down it sets squarely behind the eight ball. So, as he is making amends, he realizes just how beautiful Ellie is, and has an emotional reaction to a female he hasn’t had in a long time. It tries to resurface, causing a great deal of pain. Causing him to withdraw, and be curt.
Ellie is fine with that, she is there for a better life for her, and her daughter. Not for a love interest, with her boss. Even if, she misread the situation, it had been over six years since she had been in the dating world. Her ex-Michael, wants to stay a little too chummy, convincing, Ellie that it’s for the sake of their daughter, Anna.
When she does start something with her boss, there is tense the whole time. Harvey is slaying his past dragons. Michael won’t stop calling trying to get Ellie back, causing her to doubt herself, and Ellie is having two alpha males who want her. And her only wanting the one she is currently with. Very good suspenseful storyline. Twisted storyline. Good characters who have real issues.

This was a sweet second chance romance for the both of them!

After Ellie and Michael divorced she knew it was time tomake a change in their lives. Moving an hour away would give her the distance she needed from her ex and the chance to begin her new life as a single mother and return to work after her years as a stay at home mom. She was lucky that she had parents that were only too happy to have them living in the same town but they had not only found her a place to live but had also organised an office job for her. Harvey had lost both his wife and unborn child some years before. All he did was work to keep the memories at bay but whenhe first met his new assistant life began to look brighter and the more time he spent with Ellie and her daughter the happier life was. This was a sweet second chance romance for the both of them and it made me happy just to read about the happiness they had found together.

Perfect Protection is the tale of Ellie, a newly divorced single mom of a daughter, and Harvey, a workaholic CEO and billionaire who lost his wife and unborn child in a car accident. Ellie is hired to work for Harvey by his personal assistant, Joseph, who is playing matchmaker. Ellie and Harvey have immediate attraction and end up sleeping together when working late one evening. Not long after, Ellie begins receiving threats which results in Harvey taking up the role of protector for her and her daughter. I recommend this book which has an intriguing plot, great characters, suspense and mystery, romance, and sizzling chemistry.

An amazing, well written, emotionally deep, passionate, and intriguing read! A fast pace page-turner that is drama-filled, funny, and witty with ups and downs and a surprise twist. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is undeniable, instant, and off the charts. Definitely recommended!

I really enjoy reading books from Lauren Wood. I would devour her stories in a day and want more.
The Perfect Protector is a great storyline, but the connection between Anna and Harvey seems glossed over. There is an instant attraction between them, but Anna and Harvey’s interaction have a feeling of being distant as if they are waiting for the next shoe to drop.
The relationship between Joseph and Harvey was fun to read. You could tell the respect they had for each other from years of working together. Joseph was watching out not only for Harvy but also Anna.
I’m looking forward to Lauren Wood’s next adventure.

A new start leads to a whole new position
Perfect Protector is Book Two of The Next Door Daddies series and I enjoyed this short story of Harvey and Ellie. Their story plays out quickly but also with some depth to the characters. She is really a great mother who after a divorce makes a move to be near her parents for her daughter Anna. She goes to work for Harvey, a very handsome and oooooooh so sexy billionaire. Even though he is attracted to her he fights it. But as we all know you can only fight for so long until one night while working late she ends up under him in a whole new way. At the same time Ellie is receiving threatening letters and also phone calls at night. What is an alpha billionaire to do but step in and protect his woman and her little girl.
This is a cute story with nice characters and some steamy chemistry. It was an enjoyable read that I would recommend to anyone who likes a bit of suspense with their romance.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Great story.
Loved this book & couldn’t put it down. The characters Ellie & Harvey had a connection from the start but he was closed off from relationships & she had moved herself & her daughter Anna away from her ex-husband to start a new life. This story has drama, Harvey’s sad past, hot & steamy but also has some funny moments especially with Joseph who is trying to set them up. I was so hoping they would get together & have a happy ever after.

Ellie, divorced and mother of one daughter Anna decides to move closer to her parents and start a new life. There she gets a new job and finds out her new boss, Harvey a widower, is also her next door neighbor. This is a steamy, romance with well developed characters and a great ending.
Harvey hires his next door neighbor Ellie who just moved back home with her daughter Anna after her divorce. What started out has business soon changes to something else. Their intense chemistry makes it hard for HArvey not to protect Anna and Ellie from harm. Can they have a future or not? A fantastic hot read on a cold snowy day.

An amazing book that was difficult not to finish in one sitting. I was overcome with so many feelings and emotions throughout this book. More than I could of asked for by just the title.

Ellie moved back to Hartford to raise her daughter and starts working for Harvey. I felt bad that Harvey had lost his wife and child but glad he was there for Ellie when bad things started to happen. I liked their chemistry and enjoyed their story.

I got bored and didn’t finish. I was 2/3’s of the way through. What got to me was the povs. Most of the book plays out in Harvey’s and Ellie’s head. And the thoughts are repetitive. There is very little conversation between them. Harvey actually speaks more to his PA Joseph than to Ellie. They had sex but it was passionless. I didn’t connect with the characters at all. At the point I quit there was no sign of danger to Ellie, so that’s later in the book. I wouldn’t say I don’t recommend it because some people won’t have the same problem with the POV that I had.
