The Innocent’s Protector in Paradise by Annie West is an exciting and thrilling ride, edge of your seat 
read and a fast paced and spirited action packed adventure.
Annie West knows how to craft a story and I really enjoyed the spine-chillingly thrilling story of Niall and Lola. Lola’s brother is concerned about her; something’s not right so he calls in a favour by his best friend, billionaire security consultant Niall. Niall arrives in the middle of almost everything not being right and takes matters into his own hands by basically kidnapping Lola while he and his team try to catch Lola’s very threatening and scary stalker.
Lola has loved Niall from as far back as she can remember and being in the most beautiful location on the Gold Coast brings all of the feelings crashing back. Niall is, of course, 100% attracted to Lola but she’s his best friend’s little sister… the unwritten rule of no touching is flashing loud and clear like a pink neon light.
I enjoyed the plot of Lola’s stalker, it was a change from the usual and it added another layer of enjoyment. I liked that Lola was independent and successful and I liked that her and Niall were super likeable and fitted well together. I loved the almost/technically/basically was kidnapping. Saving the day and it helped create extra tension. The standard barriers both have to work on in order to find love were enjoyable and I really enjoyed the story as a whole.
Annie West is so clever with her writing and this story is one of the reasons she’s one of my favourites.
