In Protective Instincts by Joy York, Bash, a male award-winning author and Morgan, a petite, female kindergartner teacher, both show up at a rental home on a secluded lake and want nothing more than to be alone, to disappear for a while. Bash rented the main house, Morgan the caretaker’s cottage. But the caretaker’s cottage has no power or water. What could go wrong. Two goons show up the very same night. Either Bash or Morgan is running from the wrong people. In a clever role reversal, Morgan, the petite kindergartner teacher starts out saving Bash. Then things get out of hand. They end up saving each other. I found just enough romance (naturally) to make the story very real. Great secondary characters and subplots. I like the challenge of a clever conspiracy thriller and Joy York delivers. I’ve read several of her books and will read the rest. Come to think of it, Protective Instincts would make a great movie.
