I feel for Preston. He didn’t have a great childhood and his dad isn’t not a good person, which has created a fear in Preston that he could be the same. He’s somehow convinced himself that he’s no good for Cat and he’s trying to keep things neutral with her … but he’s finding it very difficult to keep away. They have a lot of history and an attraction that is difficult to ignore, which causes him to go hot and cold and confuses Cat to no end.

Cat knows that her warrior is a stand-up guy. She sees it all the time. She’s just not sure why he keeps pushing her away and she’s finding it very difficult to move on. And when she finds out some of the secrets he’s been hiding, she realizes that there is more going on and she just might be able to win her hero after all.

I think that with a lesser author the push-pull from Preston might have gotten annoying, but Liasson makes sure that we understand him every step of the way. We may not agree with his way of thinking but we at least know why he believes those things. And you can’t help but root for Cat to bring the tough guy down. It does take a while but he finally figures things out, giving readers are really great HEA.
