THE PROTECTOR by Jodi Ellen Malpas (September 6, 2016; Forever Trade Paperback and Forever eBook; stand alone novel)
THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE THIS 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.
My Review
4 Stars
There is something about Jodi's writings that pulls you in and makes you forget you are reading rather than living in the story. This book had it all, from the first page to the last page. Let's not forget about this cover. Beautiful.
Jake and Camille's first meeting was not what most people encounter but right from the star they both felt some sort of connection. Camille was reluctant to allow Jake to be her bodyguard but to make her father happy she gives in. But as time goes on Jake and Camille cannot deny the attraction they both feel for one another.
Yes, there is the instalove feeling in the book but it still worked for the story.
As the story continued I felt like a bystander watching the scenes play out and the jaw dropping moments that surround them. The author delivered in ways I did not see coming. Over all the book was a solid 4 stars.
