Protected by love is a spin off of sorts from her Montana Men series. In a previous book in the Montana Men series, one of the heroine's siblings was a drug addict (Sadie and her brother Connor). This spin off focuses on the agents undercover to end the drug operations like Connor's. Right away you are introduced to Beck (aka Trigger) and Caden. They are brothers who work with the DEA to take down drug lords. The story starts right in the middle of a raid so you really are jumping right into the action!
Mia, the heroine, is a chef who has been stood up 3 times by Caden at this point. His job doesn't make dating easy, and he swears he will make it up to her (and his aunt who has arranged the set up!). Once they meet-swoon. I loved the connection between these two. Throw in the danger from the angry drug dealer and you have a fast and sexy romantic suspense to kick off the new series. I mean, they are in mortal peril by the end of their first date! There is a bit of the insta-love, but I think when you share an experience like Mia and Caden do, you are deeply bonded. I loved that Mia was a bad ass. She wasn't like this crazy, trained assassin or anything, but she knows some self defense and she isn't afraid to use it. It was very well written in terms of believability!
Protected by Love is a quick read to get you set up for the rest of the series. Its perfect for a day at the pool or the beach (if you are lucky enough to be by a beach!) and it delivers everything I loved about Jennifer Ryan's books!
And, there is really only 1 sex scene so I deem this book SAFE FOR MY MOM! Hi Mom! I think you will like this one-lots of action and likable characters!
- POV: 3rd
- Tears: no
- Trope: revenge
- Triggers: none
- Series/Standalone: stand alone (introduces you to the upcoming series)
- Cliffhanger: no but a lead in to the next book!
- HEA: yes with epilogue
Books by Susan Stoker, Elle James, BJ Daniels, Lindsay McKenna...then you will probably like Protected by Love!
