Exton is a forced proximity, fish out of water, stand-alone contemporary romance about a protective hero and the tattoo artist that pushes his limits.

The thing about being a plain Jane is it’s easy to be overlooked. Even tatted, tall, and rocking turquoise hair, I never stand out.
Except to Exton Ranger.
The quiet, broody, watchful man and I had one amazing night together—one night when I realized I could not only trust him, but easily bare my soul to him.
Come to find out, he knows me better than I understand, is hellbent on protecting me, and plans to take me home to make sure I’m safe.
Home … most people have one. Safety. Security. Family.
But not me.
Safety was escaping my mom. Security was changing my name. And family?
That’s not a concept I can grasp.
But this ranch and the people on it are the best I’ve ever experienced.
When my past catches up with me, threatening the Rangers and the future I long for, I’m stuck sacrificing myself to save it all …
… And Exton’s expertise and his protective nature are my only hope to survive.

I had almost forgotten how good it is to get a story where there is plenty of Bossy, Demanding and Controlling in my hero, without worrying that my eyes will roll out of my head. I think in this case it's because Exton is Thoughtful, Considerate and Caring as well as those other traits. It also has A LOT to do with the fact that Willa doesn't mind a wee bit of the BDC, as long as it mostly stays in the bedroom AND she gets plenty of the TCC.
For a short...ish story, this one packed quite a punch. The characters were interesting, the storyline kept me captivated, and the love story, while pretty quick, definitely had me believing in their happily ever after. The highlight though, Exton has an awesome family. I loved the dynamics and the way they show their love and support to each other.
