THE PROTECTOR
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Jodi Ellen Malpas is the New York Times and Sunday Times (UK) bestselling author of two romantic trilogies: This Man and One Night. Now, Jodi Ellen Malpas is back with her long-awaited next novel—and her first stand-alone story—THE PROTECTOR (Forever; September 6, 2016; $15.99).
People think they have Camille Logan nailed: rich kid, daddy’s girl, beautiful, and spoiled. But Camille knows that support from her ultra-wealthy and overbearing father comes with a price tag not worth paying for. She wants a life without his strings. Out on her own, she’s made a few 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 questionable business dealings. She has no choice but to play ball when he hires an ex-SAS sniper to protect her at all costs.
Jake Sharp resides in his own personal hell. He had been distracted from duty once before and the consequences were devastating, both personally and professionally. He vowed to never let that happen again. Being the bodyguard to socialite model Camille is exactly the kind of low pressure job he needs. But he quickly comes to discover that Camille isn’t what he expected. She’s warm and emotionally generous, and she slowly succeeds in drawing him out of his tough exterior. Jake’s past haunts him. Camille’s presence settles him. But he can’t have both.
Review
Star Rating: 4 stars
I have seen the light, FINALLY!
I have never ever read one of JEMs books and i have absolutely no idea why until now.
This story is one to remember for sure...it has a certain way about it that it reminds me of something else but i can't quite put my finger on it and i will figure it out sooner or later.
JEMs writing drew me in right away and i was captivated by this story from Chapter 1.
Camille Logan, spoiled daddy's girl that has no care in the world and does as she pleases and when regardless of others. But is she really what people perceive her as?
Jake Sharp, the best bodyguard there is except when he is saddled with a client who's daughter despises the idea of having a body guard. He is determined to keep her safe but can he keep her in his sights and not feel nothing more other than what his job is?
This is a suspense/romance and it has a lot of suspense throughout. I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next and when something did happen i had to go back and reread it. I wasn't happy with the end, sorry i know a lot of people love JEMs books but i hate rushed endings! There leaves a lot open throughout the whole book that you want answers too and then BAM! its explained at the end but not to detail how i would like.
Overall it was a solid 4 star read for me, it would have been a 4.5 if the ending was so rushed but unfortunately it was and i just couldn't go any higher with my stars. if you want a suspenseful story with finding love story then this is the one for you.
