Review – The Protector by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Move aside Jesse Ward. Jake Sharp is here to steal your alpha crown!

The Protector by Jodi Ellen Malpas is a phenomenal romance that has left me pretty much useless ALL DAY!

From the opening pages of the prologue, I was absolutely done for. From the prologue the spike in adrenaline started to slowly build higher and higher through each page read. It continued to build stronger, more intense as the book went on. I had butterflies throughout the whole book, that flapped with different levels of power and intensity as the story progressed.

Suspense thrilled me from head to toe, firing up my heart on so many occasions, that at times it felt like it may blast from my chest. The angst was crazy good and wholly addicting. I honestly couldn’t get enough of that deep tug that burned all the way through The Protector.

Sensuality, sizzles through the story, through captivating, character connections and hot scenes that pulled me back and forth, a tug of war that my heart played willingly.

As we know Jodi can write the most sensational alphas going. And Jake Sharp IS NOT TO BE IGNORED. He is EVERYTHING you need in an alpha. Raw, oozing, sexy, powerful. I could go on. I want to go on but nothing I say will fully express him. He’s brutal to the heart and soul. Absolutely mind blowing!

Camille Logan was THE PERFECT character to pair with Jake, I was apprehensive to read this book as I expected to not like her. But I found that Camille is a super strong, sexy, sassy lead female character, easy to connect to, easy to like. Her teasing, sultry nature was empowering to read. And reading her ability to bring Jake to his knees was utter bookworm bliss.

Reading The Protector was a pleasure, never once did I want to leave the world Jodi pens so brilliantly. So beautifully. So breathtakingly. It’s my favourite book of Jodi’s. As a Brit, the connection I felt to the book was already really strong and it only emphasised with the further in I got. It’s been a long awaited read, one that has excited me and after finally reading has not let me down!

5 powerful protective stars.

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.
