Rules Of Protection (Tangled In Texas) * Kathy's Review


Title: Rules Of Protection (Tangled In Texas)
Author: Alison Bliss
Publisher: Entangled
ASIN: B00MEGM7NQ
Pages: 314


It’s rule breaker Emily Foster's birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately, she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she’s entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.
When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can’t have.
Jake's as hot as he is infuriating, and she can't help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake’s determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she’s determined to get into the right ones—his. 



As the youngest of five girls, Alison Bliss has never turned down a challenge...or been called by the right name. Her writing career may have started out as a dare by one of her sisters, but Alison hasn't put her pen down since.
She grew up on a small island off the Texas Gulf Coast, where most of her childhood vacations consisted of camping or hunting trips to the deer lease. Although she'll always be a Texan at heart, Alison currently resides in the Midwest with her Iowa farm-boy husband and their two sons. With so much testosterone in her home, it's no wonder she writes "girl books."
She's an animal lover, a closet video game enthusiast, and believes the best way to know if someone is your soul mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it's obviously meant to be. Alison's an avid romance reader who enjoys penning the type of books she loves to read most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy or two. As she calls it, "Romance...with a sense of humor."

I read this book a week ago and deliberately waited to write my review. Why you ask? That's a great question...thanks for asking. I was so absolutely overcome with the last 50 pages that I was unable to form sentences. Only words such as BRILLIANT, AMAZING, OMG, CREATIVE, HILARIOUS, and AWESOME would come to mind. I'm not sure I can do any better at this point, but I'm going to try... I can't believe RULES OF PROTECTION is the author's first book!! Everything about it was perfect. The story was perfect and complete. The author covered every single thing that was brought up. The writing was flawless.. Characters and plot were well developed, plot moved along smoothly, and the story and characters are so not forgettable. The reader gets a bit of everything with this book...romance, mystery, comedy, and steamy love scenes. The story is believable. I was on the edge of my seat, I laughed, I cried, I got chills all through the book at different times. But OMG.. that ending...all of the above occurred with the ending.. Best book ever. Best ending ever... I don't do spoilers so you'll have to one click to see what I mean. The book was always entertaining with never a lull, mainly because of the sense of humor that the heroine possessed. There was a humorous aspect to the story that resulted in many LOL movements. The author was genius with this part. Even though it was funny, the humor did not take anything away from the seriousness of story nor did it make the romance seem "cheesy." Alison Bliss nailed it. She describes her work as romance with a sense of humor. I do believe she is going to be famous, not only as an amazing author, but as a trend setter as well. I do believe we will have a new genre, with this author reigning as it's master!!! The ending is brilliant. I'm not saying anything else except that there is no cliff hanger and it will not rip your heart out. Although there are other books coming out in this series, this can be read as a stand alone. Honestly, I can't imagine wanting to stop here!! I definitely recommend this book and this author, in fact I already have done just that to many friends. I might add that I have been thanked by those whom have read the book. I will be reading her other books... One hundred stars!!!
