A new tale of danger and desire from national bestselling author Shiloh Walker featuring psychic FBI Agent Vaughnne MacMeans…
AN ASSIGNMENT SHE CAN’T REFUSE
Agent Vaughnne MacMeans would do anything to avoid setting foot in Orlando again. But her new assignment, keeping tabs on a psychic kid who may or may not be in danger, is forcing her right back to the city where her sister was murdered. And she didn’t count on a startling attraction to the boy’s guardian…
AN ATTRACTION HE CAN’T DENY
Protecting Alex is a priority for Gus. Gus may not understand the young man’s “gift” but he knows that some people would kill for it. When a beautiful stranger moves in next door, his impulse is to take the kid and bolt. But Gus has learned never to flee without a plan, and besides…she doesn’t exactly look like an assassin.
A GAME THEY’LL PLAY FOR KEEPS
But when some dangerous people from Gus’s past do catch up to him and Alex, it’s too late to run. His new neighbor is the last person he thought he could turn to, but Vaughnne isn’t just beautiful. She’s fearless. And she’s the only chance Gus and Alex have left.
This is my first Shiloh Walker novel and I was completely blown away! The Protected is the fourth book in the FBI Psychics series but it can be read as a standalone.
I love suspense reads and that’s what made my decision to pick up this book. I absolutely loved how Shiloh started off with all these different side stories that were carefully woven together to create such an interesting climax.
The plot was well thought out with a few surprises here and there. I also loved the complexity of the characters and found them easily relatable. I loved watching Gus’s struggles to trust anyone and I totally admire his devotion to keep the boy protected no matter what. Not to mention his lady-killer looks and deliciously muscular physique.
The only issue I had with the book was that I didn’t get to see many interactions with the boy. It’s understandable because he was scared the whole time while running for his life. I would love to watch his character develop in future books.
