Confronting that secret was the only way Jake could fight his heavy guilt when a beautiful ballerina dances into his life.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie Reed loves everything about dance, but it didn\u2019t pay the bills. Getting a job working with Nicole Callahan, Jessie is thrown into the VC Warrior and Dark Guardian world where she meets Jake, who saves her life not once, but twice.<\/p>\n<p>Tormented by his feelings for Jessie, Jake still can\u2019t seem to stay away from her, not realizing she had battles of her own. Slowly they build a bond that is shaky at best. As Jake and Jessie fight against the guilt that weighs heavily on them, neither realizes that a message from beyond the grave can give them the freedom of happiness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=the+protectors+by+teresa+gabelman&amp;search_type=books&amp;search%5Bfield%5D=on\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B0C9SJDCQ4&amp;asins=B0C9SJDCQ4&amp;linkId=6e956ca3ec5f85333d4302b62aeabe36&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25377 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/angie.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Angie<\/p>\n<p>I was given this book by the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I am a big fan of this series.\u00a0 I have loved how Teresa keeps the series fresh by adding new elements IE Witches, demons, etc to the overall arc of the plot.\u00a0 Its not like Supernatural where they were just constantly saving the planet\u2026get me?<\/p>\n<p>We met Jake a few books ago when he was happily getting married\/mated to Tracy, the love of his life and mate.\u00a0 When she was murdered, on their wedding day, I was like \u201cAint no coming back from that\u201d only to discover there is a story for Jake.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie we just met a book or so ago.\u00a0 She is Mitch\u2019s niece.\u00a0 We all love Mitch for the bossy boss of Nicole who runs the social agency helping orphaned children.\u00a0 Jessie has seen Jake a time or two and is thankful he has saved her when she seemed to find trouble.\u00a0 She is also understanding about the loss she knows Jake has had with Tracy.\u00a0 However, she just FEELS something when he is around but certainly, he doesn\u2019t feel that way\u2026.right???<\/p>\n<p>I loved this story brings in another villain for the over all story named Gello not to be confused with Jell-O like Steve thinks. LOL\u00a0 Oh Steve.\u00a0 We also see a story for Daniel being percolated along with Jill\u2019s storyline.\u00a0 I am so loving that totally. I want to know what is happening in Teresa\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p>What I didn\u2019t love, not that I didn\u2019t love the story was\u2026.I missed Jake and Jessie.\u00a0 Yes, they were in the story but I felt like their story was a secondary plot point.\u00a0 I also felt this way about Ryker and Susan.\u00a0 We saw both couples dancing around each other and then boom one chapter they are in love.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0I know there are many more couples and story lines to keep up with, but I miss the original books where the couple seemed more front and center vs a side story.<\/p>\n<p>Will I continue the series?\u00a0 ABSOLUTELY!!\u00a0 It\u2019s a great series with amazing plot twists and turns.\u00a0 The story never gets old and keeps you entertained 110%.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/melinda-e1649296389766.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25381\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/melinda.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Twinsie Melinda<\/p>\n<p>I was given this book by the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>This series is one I can read over and over. Jake has now been added to the list as a reread. I really like how this book is building up to something big. I\u2019m not sure how this world is going to end but with the warriors and Guardians you know it is going to be epic.<\/p>\n<p>Jake has so much healing to do after losing the woman he loved on their wedding day. When he realizes Jessie is his mate he struggles with the loss of Tracy and knowing Jesse is his mate.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie is Mitch&#8217;s niece and an amazing dancer. She is strong willed and a bit witty a perfect mate for our newest Warrior Jake.<\/p>\n<p>There was a lot going on in the book. We see Jake and Jessie grow closer together and learn about one another. We see Jill deal with everything changing for her being a half-breed and not being released back into rotation. Being Sloan\u2019s errand girl is not what she signed up for which forces her to make some hard decisions. There are the demons that are plotting to take out heir biggest threat and the Warriors youngest member.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say I absolutely fell in love with king in this book. I loved everything about him at the dance competition he had me in stitches. I cannot wait to see what is in store for the Warriors and Guardians in the upcoming books. I know I will not be disappointed and will be on the edge of my seat like always.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Teresa Gabelman, writes paranormal romance and contemporary romance with a side of humor in each story.
