This was...okay. The story was pretty farfetched: a politician’s grown daughter decides that the only way to get away from her controlling father’s influence is to marry a stranger. That stranger turns out to be the security detail her father hired to protect her. Only he doesn’t want her to know that. And maybe their temporary marriage contract will turn out to be permanent.

There were holes in this plot that a freight train could pass through. If you’re thinking, well, at least the sex scenes were probably hot...they were steamy, but far between. There wasn’t nearly enough sex, considering that the main characters talked and thought about sex for a good share of the book. Plus there was an early moment where there should have been a conversation about safe sex and birth control, but there wasn’t. And the hero was fairly controlling himself.

So basically this was okay. And it was short.

HOT HOT HOT. I don't know if i can honestly say HOT enough when it comes to this book. Great read but the sensual sex is what gets me with this book.

This one is a hard one for me because the sexual scenes were hot and well written, but I had a lot of problems just with about everything else.
I can suspend disbelief while reading a book like this, but there were a ton of things that took me out completely out of the plot, such as -Spoiler alert- not using condoms/birth control methods for weeks and then saying 'oh, is true I might be pregnant because we haven't used anything' What person in the 21 century does this? And of course, the old 'I just met this person and I'm already in love, want to have babies with them'
On the other hand, it was very problematic how the feamale character wanted a husband to escape her controlling father. Besides, both characters were ciphers and very underdeveloped, especially the female character. Oh, and the language the male protagonist used repeatdly when talking about virginity was pretty gross.

This was a fast read that kept me very interested.
When Garrett is hired to protect Keaton, he finds out she is at a high end private match making service. He makes his move. With a contract signed Keaton and Garrett get married. Now all hell breaks loose.

This is a great story that includes political, alpha, and romance genres.

Bought for Protection, by Fiona Davenport was a hot and sexy read. This is a story with really no drama, which I really appreciated for a change. Garrett and Keaton wasn't your typical romance, but enough of a storyline to get hooked. It was a short read, but a good one.

I’ve got to be in a certain mood for instalove books, but when I am I know the Fiona Davenport team will deliver me the perfectly sexy, satisfying, alphatastic story I’m hankering for.

Billionaire bachelors aren’t my usual cup of tea, but Garrett was just rough around the edges enough to not only catch my interest but keep me wanting more. He didn’t know what he was getting into with Keaton, but once he laid eyes on her he knew he didn’t want to let her go.

Keaton was a little too meek and mild for me, but I did like her. She may have been a little timid, but it took some backbone and grit to implement the Hail Mary plan that got her out from under her father’s thumb, even if I did think it was a bit over-dramatic.

My one disappointment was that I felt there was a huge string left dangling at the end with her Dad and it bugged me. Not enough to dim my enjoyment too much, but my inquiring mind wants to know how that played out.

This was a quick, sexy fun little read with an alphalicious hero that pushed my buttons in all the good ways. You just can’t go wrong with that.

4 Stars.

Keaton, the daughter of a politician, is looking to take control of her own destiny. She begins searching for a husband by seeking the assistance of a match maker. Garret, unbeknown to Keaton, has been assigned as a security detail to Keaton by her father. In an attempt to stay close and protect her, Garret signs himself up to become her husband. It's only temporary right? But what happens when a real connection is made and sparks fly?

The plot is interesting and keeps the reader engaged and the sparks are undeniable between the lead characters.

Bought for Protection is a story of unexpected romance and is a great read from Fiona Davenport that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Bought For Protection is a novella, and as is typical, there's not a lot of character development. I thought it was a sexy, quick read. The plot moved along evenly. There is plenty of passion, and it seemed to be placed properly in the story line. I thought it was entertaining, worth the read, and would read more from "Fiona Davenport."
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

Love this author and love her insta love stories. You can’t help love the hero and his alpha tendencies and the heroine is feminine, without being a doormat, there is no unnecessary drama.

Keaton wants to be in control of her life and get a say instead of her father dictating everything. When a friend suggests she get married she hires a match maker to start looking for someone to marry. Garret has been hired by her father to watch over her so when he learns that she hired a match maker he signs up to end up being her husband. It'll be temporary just so he can do his job without any issues from her. However he never counted on how she would make him feel. What will Keaton do when she learns that he was hired by her father?

This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

❤️❤️❤️ out of 5
This was a romance book but on fast forward. The only thing not on fast forward was the sexy times that were hot 🔥🔥🔥 and the only thing that made this even a 3❤️ in my opinion. I almost feel like I have whiplash from reading that book/novella.
.
Our heroine decides that the perfect solution to getting out from under her father’s thumb is to get married. She approaches a matchmaking agency to find her a husband, but what she doesn’t know is that her father has hired private secret security for her. The man in charge decides that the perfect way to protect her is to marry her himself and one look at her and he knows he never wants to give her up.
.
I really liked the plot line and the characters but everything was jammed into such a short book that the whole thing just felt rushed. No time to actually get into the story and have it seem believable.

it is an amazing story. Cute, comical yet light-hearted at the same time. I love the way Fiona wrote that makes me feels like i'm living through her story.

Another hot story with a strong likable hero. Garrett is intense and totally focused on Keaton. I've read the other stories in the series and they are all just as good. Lots of heat between Keaton and Garrett. I liked the whole protect the damsel in distress theme. Loved it.

Keaton needs to get out from under her fathers scrutiny so whenever friend gives her a business card for Luxe Connections she decides to make an appointment. Keaton figures if she can get married for a little while she would fall off dads radar.
Garret Hansen gets hired by Keaton’s dad and when he finds out she has an appointment with Luxe Connections he gets a invite to be her match. Garret gets her to agree to a contract of one year of marriage just enough to get past his election but the minute they touch at the courthouse the contract is forgotten. Short story but full of a great read.
