Silent Protector

Verona Bay, Book 3

By: Katie Reus

Narrated by: Heather Costa, Jeffrey Kafer

Some secrets keep you safe....

Adeline Rodriguez left her violent past behind, buried her secrets, and started over in Verona Bay. Now, a successful co-owner in a local pet grooming business, she’s made a life for herself in this idyllic community, and she has real friends. Thanks to her past, the only thing she hasn’t mastered yet is a real relationship. And when circumstances lead her to finally let her guard down with the sexy Mac Collins, he completely ghosts her. Her first instinct is to close herself off again, but she decides to confront him instead - and that fateful decision puts her directly in the crosshairs of a killer.

Others can destroy you....

Mac has wanted Adeline since the moment they met, but she made it clear that she didn’t want a relationship. So, he kept his distance. When they’re trapped together in a remote cabin, things change between them. But Mac’s past has come back to haunt him, so he pushes her away to protect her. Unfortunately, it’s already too late. Adeline is now a target too. To save her, Mac has no choice except to end the threat. Only then, can he try to win over the woman he can’t live without. But, winning over the feisty Adeline might prove to be harder than stopping a killer.

Intense drama, sizzling chemistry

Audiobook:  Narrators - Heather Costa & Jeffrey Kafer


I’m a huge fan of Mr. Kafer so it’s no surprise that I loved his narration of Mac.  Such a great performance that brought to life that certain something that makes me fall in love with a character. Likewise, Ms. Costa did an amazing job with Adeline and together this duo made this book so much more than reading alone, which is why I love to read then listen.  Costa and Kafer made this audiobook worth waiting for!



Mac is a prime example of the type of alpha heroes I love.  His protection of Adeline was fierce in its intensity and I couldn’t get enough of it.  When things took a turn he was a force to be reckoned with as he fought to keep her safe.  And she wasn’t even his yet!


This has a lot of action and a villainous storyline that could easily be myself or a neighbor as I felt such a connection to the validity of it.  It’s built on insta-attraction but still a very slow burn to the culmination of desire.  I loved Mac’s brothers and the fact that he was as protective of them as he was of Adeline.  Seeing that side of him was wonderful and had me falling even harder for him.


While it isn’t necessary to read the previous books in this series, I highly recommend that you do so just so you can make a connection to all the characters.  However, this gives enough information that you can easily follow it without feeling as though you’re missing anything. 

Thrilling

Silent Protector is suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing till the end. Mac will protect Adeline at all costs. Can these two escape the danger that is closing in on them. Will Mac and Adeline get there HEA. Grab this book and find out. It will consume you

Love this series

Well done! This was an interesting read from the beginning and continued all the way to the end. I thought the plot was unique and it kept me attention throughout. I don't think the action/suspense was a high as the previous two books, but it was enjoyable.

Absolutely wonderful!

I loved this story as an ebook, and loved it even more as an audiobook. It takes the story to technicolor levels.
In this third book in the series, the author delivers another winner. If you are new to the series, rest assure it’s a stand alone. That said, your experience would be enriched if you read the previous. All great stories.
Mac Collins is a man that left the Marines, a profession he loved, when his parents died when his brothers were young. He is not only their brother and provider, but also the man that has taken care of them like a father. One they love very much.
Adeline Rodriguez is a woman who has dealt with violence in the past, and has found peace and a business she loves in Verona Bay. She’s been attracted to Mac but when he finally asks her out, he cancels at the last minute. Little did she know that rather than put her in danger, he chose to lose his chance with her.
But the danger takes over and now they are all trying to stay alive.
Will they survive and find their HEA or will the evil triumph?
In this suspenseful romance, we are also reminded that life is not white and black but rather different shades of gray. That circumstance might force you to do the unimaginable for yourself and your family.
Another great book by this talented storyteller.
