Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-24 00:00:00 Matthew Boston Having enjoyed the full length novels of Beverly Barton, I decided to go back and read her entire series of "The Protectors." Defending His Own had an interesting story and sympathetic characters. Ashe McLaughlin believed he was betrayed by Deborah Vaughn when her father forced him out of town. He has resented her for years, but when her life is placed in danger, Ashe agrees to return as her bodyguard. Deborah is horrified to discover that her mother has summoned Ashe to be her bodyguard. She has hated him ever since he told her that he didn't love her after spending one passionate evening together when she was seventeen. Deborah fears that Ashe will find out that her ten year old brother is actually their son. Ashe and Deborah soon find that they have feelings for one another, and they begin a relationship. Ashe has to protect Deborah from harm while she tries to find a way to tell him about his son. Defending his own was a good addition to "The Protectors."

Deborah thinks he left town and that he never loved her the way she loved him. Years later Ashe agrees to become her bodyguard.
