I completely fell in love with this book. It was non-stop suspense from the very beginning. The author had a wonderful way with her writing to make sure that you always wanted to know what happened next.
Gail is an attorney who is always trying to put the bad guys away. She got involved in one of the major drug busts and is trying to put the drug lord behind bars. Little did she know, her life was going to be turned upside down because of it? She no longer knew whom she was going to trus...more

My Opinion:
The novel started out at a great pace, I was hooked right from the start. It had an intriguing start, wasting no time for boring pleasantries that some novels seem to do. I greatly enjoyed the book from the beginning to the end.
All the way through the novel were twists and turns in story line that surprised me and held my attention. I kept wondering what was going to happen next! This is a wonderfully exciting read that will shock, amaze, and in some parts, turn you on!

What happens when you have a former oxycodone-addicted prosector who needs protection from a hardened widower-turned-member of an underground organization of justice avengers?
Hotness.
Her Dark Protector, by Carol Stephenson, is a tense, page turning read, chock full of bad guy thugs, bad guy thugs masquerading as good guys, two sad back stories, and some good old headboard rockin'.

Deciding on the rating for this one was tough. I ping-ponged between a 2 & 3 for a while before settling where I did. So I guess now I'd better explain that the reason I did was because I realised I had way more that bugged me about the book, and when I tried to think of what I liked about the book, I struggled. Big time. Even though it couldn't have been that bad--because I read on, after all.

Scrolling through my kindle while on vacation I stumbled upon this book. Having nothing to go on but a title (I really wish Kindle books had synopses at the front) I decided to dive in. Not sure what I was expecting here but overall I did enjoy this novel. I need to do some research to see if it is part of a series cause if it's not I am really confused at the ending but it was a nice read.

This set a fast pace right from the very first page and didn't let up so left me gasping for breathe by the end. The heat between Jason and Gail was so hot it could melt the page and the action was so intense it could make your head spin. I really did enjoy this because it to the adage power corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely and then ran with it.

I um'd and ah'd over what rating to give this one, provided by netgalley. 2 stars seemed a bit mean really, since the plot was pretty good, but 3 stars seemed a bit generous since I had a few issues with it. So I guess it's somewhere between the two..
What did I like?
I though the plot was strong, much stronger than most thriller-with-good-guys-battling-drug-lord type stories. It just seemed like it was a bit more credible than most, and the suspense part was pretty good. I also liked that none of...more

Fast paced thriller that will keep you up late into the night!
The story was full of suspense and intrigue that kept me guessing up until the last page. The romance was sweet and addictive just like the characters themselves.
Gail was tough prosecutor who would do whatever it takes to get the job done. She is a strong character that many readers can look up to and doesn’t take crap from anyone, but she met her match in Jason.
Jason has a mysterious past, but he doesn’t let it stop him from doing wh...more

I enjoyed her Dark Protector by Carol Stephenson, and liked the main characters, Gail and Jason. I did think the premise of Jason belonging to this ancient, secret organization that helped the police to capture bad guys was a little strange, but I enjoyed the suspense and action in the plot. Both Gail and Jason had baggage, and I liked the way they semed to help one another to find strength in themselves.

Gail Malloy is a state prosecutor in Florida who is working to bring down a drug lord who has everyone on his payroll…ok, maybe two people aren't…which needless to say makes her job extremely dangerous. Jason Hawke works for a secret society called the Justice Hunters, and he's sworn to protect Gail because she's the only one who can bring this crime lord down. Jason Hawke is a little Bruce Wayne (rich playboy fighting crime to avenge family's death) and come on…Justice Hunters….Justice League....more
