A new stand-alone novel from Jodi Ellen Malpas, the best-selling author of This Man and One Night trilogies. 

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. 

Out on her own, she's made 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 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. He vowed to never let that happen again. 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.

enjoyed this story alot, most standalone books don't give enough background to make a book feel complete - this one was perfect. when I 1st started listening I didn't like the narrators but they grew on me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. my only complaint is the editors messed up chapter 9 and it replayed twice - around the 19 minute mark the chapter restarts again.

great length for a standalone

Having read several negative reviews I approached The Protector with trepidation. I needn't have, I loved it. I've read and reread This Man and One Night series and this is on the same level so I'm writing my first ever review to counterbalance said negative reviews. For me it's ever so romantic and erotic and has a very happy ending. What more could I want?

Loved it!

A good yarn. How a damaged sniper, who carried so much guilt found love again. A rich father, who tried to control everything, lost it all. A beautiful women, how tired them all together.

The story wasn’t one of Jodi’s best. Usually I love them. This one was a bit dull and predictable.
The biggest problem was the narrators. The woman was okay but read too slowly. I’m afraid the man was pretty woeful. I wasn’t sure if he was trying to put on an lower class British accent for Jake, but it didn’t suit the character. Trying to speak the female parts…he was laughable. Sounded like a drag Queen!
Why can’t Audible simply get a male and female to record together and she can do all the female parts and he can do all the male parts?

Mediocre
