Review: The Protector by Jodi Ellen Malpas

The Protector by Jodi Ellen Malpas

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 never to 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.

Claire's Review 5 of 5 Stars

I'm afraid I'm ashamed to admit that this is the first JEM book i have read! I do however own her This Man, and One Night books so I will be definitely reading them as soon as I can!

The Protector is about Jake, who has been hired as a private body guard to Camille Logan. Camille's father has hired Jake after he receives a series of threatening emails.

You cannot help but fall in love with Jake! despite all his flaws and the secrets he is hiding, he is a great character and you find yourself willing things to happen with Camille. Camille is a fantastic character, a strong female, who wants to stand on her own two feet without the help of her father.

I really don't want to give too much away, but all I can say is this book is HOT and needs to be devoured! As well as receiving a copy via netgalley I also went out on the day it was released to get a pretty copy in paperback for my shelf!
