Publisher's summary

When you find something precious, you defend it with your life.

Eden

Where I come from, there's no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.

After moving clear across the country, I thought I'd feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I met him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.

I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin Paladin employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…

The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.

Linc

I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it, too.

I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She's the light, and until her, I didn't realize how lonely the darkness is.

Forget Paladin's rules. I refuse to let her go. I've finally found what's precious to me, and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She's mine to pleasure and protect.

Whoever keeps threatening Eden's life is going to lose theirs.

Whistleblower is book one in the Paladin series. It is a spicy, touch-her-and-die, romantic suspense with a morally gray alpha hero. Intended for mature listeners.

Unique!

I really enjoyed this story. Wish I could read it again for the first time.

Really good book !

This book is an excellent read with many twists and turns that keep you hooked. Eden's character is intriguing and adds a lot to the story, but there were aspects of her that I found frustrating. At times, her naivety and emotional responses seemed a bit over-the-top and unrealistic. Despite claiming to only trust Link, Eden often found herself in questionable situations and made decisions that felt out of character or overly dramatic.

Though these elements were bothersome, they didn't overshadow the overall experience. The book is still a must-read and definitely worth the credit and purchase. The emotional depth and complexity of the plot make it a compelling story, even if some character choices were puzzling.

Linc and Eden ❤️

Loved the story of a woman who stood her ground and told the truth. I also loved how Linc is so enamored with her. Sweeter than I thought it was going to be.

This was sooooo spicy

Loved this great story lots of steamy scenes and great twist ending I never saw coming

Military Romance

I went into this book with no expectations and really enjoyed the plot! The FMC, Eden, stands up for what's right and gets crucified. Her intelligence, empathy, and ability to forgive were her strengths. These characteristics balance the MMC, Linc, who finds her light in his darkness. This man cherished her!

I’m really trying

I am trying so hard to like this book but the female character is ssssssoooooooo annoying and WEAK!!!! Now I appreciate a dominant protective male lead but I really can’t with the female character she is really cringe! I am hoping it’s going to get better because I literally wanted to vomit at her scared shaking like a dog weakness

What a pleasant surprise.

This book is so…mature. It’s not cringey or smut ridden. It has bits of dangerous aspects while being a little sweet. Wonderful work author!. And the narrators, great job!.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was really not that invested in this story. In fact I sped the audio up even more so I’d finish it faster. Fairly predictable and not all that memorable. I’m really not invested enough in any character to continue the series immediately.

Solid story but not a fan of the female main character

Solid story line but not a fan of the female main character or perhaps it was the performance. Too much of a whine tone to it which took away from a great story.

Great plot AND spice!

This was so good. I loved not only the plot of this story but the relationship between Linc & Eden was everything! And the spicy scenes were so good!
