Queen B’s Decree: Sometimes I just want an obsessive hero that will do anything he can for his FMC. And J.S. Scott always delivers.
Dearest Protector is technically a standalone but is the brother of the MMC from Dearest Stalker. Ben manages his obsession and devotion in a different way from Ian…no stalking, just basically becoming Ariel’s boss so he can make sure she’s safe and okay.
I loved the communication between them. There was an obvious “he has a secret!!” trope, but Ben just wants to be honest and couldn’t keep it in. His relationship with Ariel was sweet and I enjoyed the progression from friendship to more.
Another sweet and satisfying read from J.S. Scott.
