#review – The Protector by Jodi Ellen Malpas

The Protector

synopsis

THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THETHIS MAN TRILOGY AND ONE NIGHT TRILOGY!

People think they have Camille Logan nailed: daddy’s girl; beautiful, spoiled young woman with her father’s bank balance to fund her lifestyle. But Camille is determined to have a life free from his strings. Out on her own, she’s made mistakes, including one that found her clawing her way back after a stint in rehab and plenty of bad press. Now, after fighting so hard to be independent and happy, she finds her life threatened as a result of her father’s ruthless business dealings. Caught between resentment and fear, Camille prepares herself for the measures her father will take to protect her. But nothing could prepare her for the ex-SAS sniper who crashes into her life.

Jake Sharp resides in his own personal hell. He was distracted from duty once before, and the consequences were devastating–both personally and professionally. He vowed never to let that happen again. Accepting the job of bodyguard to Camille Logan isn’t the kind of distraction from his demons he should take. Women and Jake don’t mix well, yet protecting the heiress seems the lesser of two evils. But Jake soon discovers that she isn’t the woman she’s perceived to be. She’s warm, compassionate, her presence settling, and his duty to protect her soon goes deeper than a well-paid job, no matter how hard he fights it. He needs absolution. He comes to need Camille. But he knows he can’t have both.

angies review

I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
WOW!! And Hawt! The chemistry was insane and THICK….wowzsers be ready for this one!
I haven’t read the other series by this author because being a blogger I am just busy. All of my friends raved about it so when I was given the chance to read it, I jumped.
Jake is a yummy, hawt broken soul (that we love to read about don’t we ladies??). He is really lost in a state because he has these night mares and we don’t really know the why for them. He leaves his SAS and needs to stay busy so he gets the bodyguard job to keep his mind busy. This way he can’t think about or focus on his past.
Camille is the kiddo of a rich but not so good business man. She has grown up with wealth and doesn’t really know any other way. When her dad makes a deal that threatens his little girl, he hires the best body guard his money can buy. Now Jake sees Camille and is not at all in love with this rich princess however Camille was a hot and bothered mess around Jake. Jake is stunned stupid when he realizes that Camille is so much more then he originally assumed…you know what they say about assuming right? He sees her for a bright and independent woman. Camille begins to see Jake and is very interested in all there is to know about the man who is taking over her every thought.

about the author

A lingering idea that I just couldn’t ignore.’ – Jodi Ellen Malpas

Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote her debut series, The This Man Trilogy, in secret, worried about what people might think if they knew what her imagination was capable of. She was shocked herself. But she finally found the courage to unleash her creative streak and self-published THIS MAN – the first book of the This Man Trilogy – in October 2012. She took a chance on a story with a hero who soon became one of modern day fictions most prolific alpha male characters.

Jesse Ward – also affectionately known as The Lord of The Manor, sparked incredible reactions from women across the globe and catapulted Jodi into the world of women’s fiction. With so much love and enthusiasm from her readers, and a thirst for more of her words, Jodi suddenly wasn’t afraid of her imagination anymore. She went on to write The One Night Trilogy with the delectable and mysterious Miller Hart, and stole the hearts of her readers once again. She’s now a proud #1 New York Times bestselling author – all six of her published novels having hit the New York Times best sellers list – as well as a Sunday Times bestseller and international best seller. Her work is published in over 20 languages across the world.

Jodi was born and raised in the Midlands town of Northampton, England, where she lives with her two boys and a beagle. She is a self-professed daydreamer, a Converse & mojito addict, and has a terrible weak spot for Alpha Males.

Writing powerful love stories and creating addictive characters has become her passion – a passion she now shares with her devoted readers

Excerpt:

I closed my eyes, hoping for some sleep, anything to stop the images flooding my mind. I could still smell her, and me, on my skin. I felt sick to my stomach. I needed a drink; I needed to eat to quell the nausea. The first thing I did when the train arrived in Victoria Station was to buy a disgusting bagel from a fast-food burger outlet. I drank down a full fat Coke, something I never drank normally, without taking a breath. My hands shook as I guzzled down the food. I must have looked like a drug addict coming down from a high. It hit me like a kick to the stomach and I doubled over. That was exactly what was happening.

I was coming down from such an intense high; it may well have been cocaine rushing through my veins instead of the unbridled passion I’d experienced.

Mackenzie Miller should have been a class A drug. He was as addictive, as powerful, and as damaging.

When my body returned to some form of normality, I headed out to one of the waiting taxis. Other than to give my address; I didn’t speak. I didn’t answer any of the questions thrown at me.

As we pulled up at my apartment block, and I fumbled inside my purse for money, the driver looked in his rearview mirror again.

“Are you all right?” he asked. I looked at him and caught sight of myself in his mirror.

My eyes were red with the tears I’d shed. I placed the money on the tray in the glass panel that divided us.

“No,” I said, and then climbed out.

— MELINDA’S REVIEW — 

I received a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.

I am loving this series how can you go wrong Hot Firemen and a determined strong-willed women. Isandro is caring and loving not only toward his family but also toward the woman in his life. Arianna just got out of a bad long term relationship.

Arianna has been told she is not good enough her whole life from not only her ex but from her mom and sister too. She has a tough time thinking of herself as perfect or beautiful that is until Isandro comes back into the picture.

Isandro does his best to make sure Arianna knows she is special and beautiful. He loves Arianna the way she is and tries everything to show her that. Isandro also tried to show her that she was so much better than she had been told and treated for years.

I loved both Arianna and Isandro , one of my favorite scenes was the cookout with his family. She was so sweet even brought treats for everyone keeping in mind things Isandro told her about his sister and brothers. This story wasn’t all sweet and wonderful there was suspense that had me needing to know who was doing all these things. My heart broke for Arianna and reading what all she went through with her mother and ex.  Loved the relationship Isandro has with his family and his work family. To watch these two together see how well they fit and how Arianna was able to bond with his family was amazing.

I fell in love with all these characters in this series and cannot wait for the next one.

angies review

 

I bought this book from amazon.

AHHH  SO when the last book ended Moira was mated to the top shifter in the community, Blaze, and his mate of 500 years, Dante, who is a force to be reckoned with himself.  This book is about Moira trying to figure out where to fits into the guys life.  Sure she is their mate but what else is she?  What else do they expect of her?  She is a small town country girl living in a big city mansion.

The whole book is Moire kinda falling inside of her head and worrying that maybe the guys made a mistake.  The guys are so lost.  Their confident, sassy shewolf is a mess and they don’t know why.

When Moire’s heat cycle hits she has to make a decision : claim my men for what I want and need or wait and cause myself more and more pain and heart ache.

about the author

A storyteller from the time she could talk, Ellis grew up among family legends of hauntings, psychics, and love spanning decades. Those stories didn’t always have the happiest of endings, so they inspired her to write about real life, real love, and the difficulties therein. From farmers to werewolves, store clerks to witches—if there’s love to be found, she’ll write about it. Ellis lives in the Chicago area with her husband, daughters, and two tiny fish that take up way too much of her time.

I bought this book from amazon.

I am so loving this serial series.  I am kinda sad there is only 1 left in the boxed set I purchased.

This book we finally get to see Blaze again.  WE met the president of the gathering in Gideon’s book.  He and his mate Dante have been mated happily for over 500 years but it seems they are destined to be a triad and they haven’t found the 3rd part to complete them.

Moira is sad and happy.  She is happy so many in her pack have found their mates but because she has taken on the main alpha role to let Killian and his new mate get to know each other, she is left mateless again.

Moira says screw it one the last night and decided to go to the end of the gathering party.  She is is annoyed that yet again she is left dealing with a DB alpha but she can FEEL her mate…..she sees two men but is confused.  Which one is her fated.  After a mix up and even more heart break Moira goes back to her room to sulk.  Little does she know tomorrow’s meeting will change her life!!

The trio are a hot read but we feel for Blaze and his worries and concerns.  I am looking forward to the last book which is actually more of these characters.
