About this ebook
A standalone novel from Jodi Ellen Malpas, the bestselling author of the THIS MAN and ONE NIGHT trilogies, comes a passionate and unforgettable romance.
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. 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. 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.

4.25⭐ The Protector was an enjoyable story that easily had me turning the pages even though I found the pacing to be a little on the slow side. Yet, I genuinely enjoyed the romance that developed and I truly liked Jake, who was the epitomisation of a tortured hero, but frankly, I wish Ms Malpas had played on that more. But, saying that, there was a nice amount of angst, plenty of heat and a touch of suspense. And all in all I found it to be a very satisfying read and introduction to an author I've heard many good things about. Would happily recommend.

Absolutely loved this book. Loved everything about it. How it was written. Even the ending, which sometimes I struggle with lol if they don't go my way. But the ending was pretty much perfect. I read this book in less than 2 days, and I'm a mum of 4 children, with a house to run. So for me that's good lol. I even watched the movie after just to get more of the story lol would 100% recommend.
