The Protector

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.

The Protector

Jodi Ellen Malpas' first standalone novel. Well done!

I won't go into detail about the story. If you've come this far, you know what the book is about & have read other reviews with quotes & such. ...
This book is read with both characters POV. Which is one of my favorite types of books to read because you get a better sense of each characters mindset.

Jake is sexy & brooding & mysterious. His past haunts him & his new found love for Camille helps him find his way in his dark world.

Camille is not the spoiled brat you would imagine her to be starting this story.

I absolutely LOVE JEM & her stories, her writing & her relationship she holds with each of her characters. This book was not my favorite of hers, not that it is easy to chose, but it was missing the **GASP** aspect for me. The BOOM. This does not mean it's not a great story. This is simply my opinion. It reminds me of a better version of The Bodyguard (movie)

Definitely something you need to add to your TBR.
