Margaret Watson Protect Me (The Donovan Family Book 6)

I received a digital copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. 

I get a lot of requests from authors to review their books. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to read and review every single request I get. Today I am going to share with you a short review I did for Protect Me by Margaret Watson. 

Description 
Police officer Mia Donovan is studying for the detective's exam when her captain offers her an assignment – be Finn O'Rourke's personal bodyguard for the next three weeks. He's in town to film a movie, he has a stalker, and the threats are escalating. 

Mia isn't interested – she's focused on the looming exam. But her captain convinces her that successfully protecting Finn will look very good on her record when promotion decisions are made. So, reluctantly, she takes the assignment. 

Finn isn't the arrogant, egotistical actor Mia expected. There's more than meets the eye when it comes to the 'most hated man in America', Finn's nickname since he cheated on his girlfriend, a beloved pop star. 

But his stalker is lurking and the threat is escalating. Although Mia's feelings for Finn are growing, her job is to protect Finn, not fall in love with him. 

Review

I don't normally read suspense and this is the first book I've read by the author. Being part of a series, this is definitely a good stand alone novel. I enjoyed the story, although found it to be a bit cheesy, unrealistic yet still entertaining. I was really hooked on it til about the middle of the story when it just seemed to become a bit too repetitive and drawn out. Regardless I do intend to read more from this author and I will recommend it for romance readers.

This Ebook is $3.99 on Amazon

Silk Nutchello review

I received this item in exchange for an honest review. 

Recently I've been trying out a few different web sites for surveys and reviews and what not. Every little bit helps after all and of course I just love trying new things. 

I got the chance to review Silk Nutchello, which is a nut milk blend drink. It comes in three different flavors, all of which I wanted to try. I had to pick one so I decided on the rich dark chocolate and walnuts flavor. 


If you like almond milk I think you would enjoy this. To me it tastes like chocolate almond milk with an after taste of walnuts. I found myself taking a sip of this off and on throughout the day whenever I felt I needed just a little pick me up or when I wanted a bit of chocolate. After awhile I realized this reminds me a bit of the chocolate brownie snacks my mom would pack in my lunch as a kid. A little familiar taste of my childhood in a cup. 


I thought this might be good in my coffee so I tried that. Completely forgetting I don't really like chocolate in coffee so I didn't really care for it like that. I bet you could use it in cookie recipes now that I think about it. 


I believe you should be able to find this in grocery stores throughout the country. It was about five dollars normal price at my store for a 48 ounce bottle. I probably won't be getting this again unless I see it on sale. I am curious to try out the other two flavors, toasted coconut and cashews and caramel almonds and cashews.
