Today you will learn about book #1 in the Protector series by Stephanie Reid. This book was a pleasant surprise for me. Learn more below :-) Happy reading!
Book synopsis:
Emily Simon is a good listener. Maybe a little too
good. As a professional counselor who's been unintentionally clocking
hours after work with her advice-seeking friends, Emily decides it's
time to hang up the counselor hat when she's out of the office and make
something happen in her own life. She has just two rules: No men with
emotional baggage and no risk takers.
Bryan “Mac” McAvoy is tormented by the death of a
teenage boy, shot during a robbery gone wrong, and fellow police
officer, Sean Simon, is convinced his sister Emily is just the person to
help Mac get back his edge.
With his dangerous vocation and giant suitcase full of
guilt, Emily vows to steer clear and guard her heart. But when she
receives a death threat from a deranged client, she finds that Mac may
be the only man who can guard her life.
I loved this book! It was well written, paced nicely, and had just enough heat and mystery to keep me interested. It was a great read.
I really love Emily and Mac. They were great characters that I felt were relateable and believable. Emily's brother and some of the other secondary characters are great. They add to the story with out over powering it.
Emily is a counselor who has closed herself off from the world after her parents are tragically killed in an accident. Mac is a workaholic who does not do relationships as a result of his rough childhood when his father was still in his life. Together there is heat, substance and a great connection.
Their emotions were easily felt as a reader and I felt for Emily during her rougher times. I liked that she was able to see reason when situations were not to her liking or safe for her.
Mac is a wonderful male lead. He is gruff but approachable, sensitive and humorous as well as described very handsomely. He's a great alpha type with out overdoing it. It made his behavior more realistic.
I look forward to book 2 and am glad that it focuses on other characters from this story. I am excited to see what is going on with them and how they all interconnect.
