Stories about undercover agents have always been a favourite of mine. Add a team of highly skilled security specialists, well, I just had to read this book.
Working undercover as a bartender for months, Roman was trying to get proof that his boss was selling drugs and laundering money for the Russian mob. He sure didn't need Madelyn to come in looking for her sister. She had no idea what a bad place it was and that she shouldn't be there. About to be caught in a spot they shouldn't have been, Roman kissed Madelyn as a cover-up.
This book was tension-filled and had great characters. Roman was a veteran skilled in computers, languages and just an all-around smart guy. Madelyn was a bright, caring woman. Her main focus was her studies for medical school. But she took it to the exteme. School was all she thought about, leaving no time for relationships. Then there were the bad guys. The mobsters were the most despicable men you could imagine.
As they got away, heading to RMJ headquarters, Roman and Madelyn were in a lot of dangerous situations. Meanwhile, their feelings grew. It was easy to see how Madelyn fell for Roman. How could she not? He was a fierce protector in the life and death situation they were in. Oh yeah, he was hot too.
Danger and violence brought these two together and the story was amazing.

This second book in the author’s Rocky Mountain Justice series begins in classic romantic suspense style with a plucky heroine who finds herself in the wrong place at the worst time, confronted first by an emotionally wounded undercover hero and then by a mob boss out to kill his way to the top. The kiss-of-distraction provides confusion for all, as both hero Roman and heroine Madelyn react in ways that feel all-too-real, while the villain is lead to the wrong-but-right conclusion that the two are in cahoots to uncover all his secrets. While Roman really is after those secrets, Madelyn just wants to find her sister, lost in addiction to the drugs being peddled out of the seamy bar where the case and the protagonists both come together and fall apart. Crazed mobsters and family betrayals on all sides just add to the adrenaline of the danger and the romance.
VERDICT: For fans of escapist romantic suspense, this is a fun read with likeable protagonists, dastardly villains and deadly danger.

Action packed romance! With non-stop drama and suspense, the author takes us along for the ride as the main characters run for their lives. She's got a family connection, he's got a job to do and a criminal mastermind to bring down ... together, they tackle the case of a lifetime. Great characters, attention grabbing from start to finish and an overall top-notch read!
When Madelyn Thompkins gets a lead on where her estranged sister may be hanging out, she jumps at the chance to track her down. Her search leads her into the seedier part of town, and little does she know the danger she's about to walk into!
Undercover operative Roman DeMarco isn't expecting an innocent civilian to get caught up in the case he's working on, but when that's exactly what happens, he can't just up and walk away. They find out together that tangling with a Russian mob is dangerous to their health!

Another installment of RMJ, I do hope this goes beyond one more book, or even two!
I like the storyline of a stubborn medical student who wouldn't give into love time and time again once she meet her forever mate!(ok forever man just didn't seem to fit. . .!)
Best of all in the end he wouldn't give up on here especially when she thought for sure he would.
Awesome Especially because of what happened next!

Her Rocky Mountain Defender by Jennifer D. Bokal is a fantastic romantic suspense. Ms. Bokal has provided readers with a well-written book and filled it with outstanding characters. Madelyn is searching for her sister and finds Roman instead. Roman had just planted a listening device to get information on criminal activity. Roman and Madelyn's story is action-packed and loaded with drama, humor, action, spice and suspense. I enjoyed reading Her Rocky Mountain Defender and look forward to reading more from Jennifer D. Bokal in the future. Her Rocky Mountain Defender is book 2 of the Rocky Mountain Justice Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Roman has been undercover for months and is this close to planting a bug....however, Madelyn comes barging in at the wrong place and at the wrong time on the hunt for her drug addict sister. Now Madelyn and Roman are caught in the line of sight of the big bad Russian mob guy and are actively being hunted.
Neither Madelyn and Roman and the bad guys can catch a break (stuck in mountains, hired help has been silenced, big honcho is coming, etc). This story was action packed to say the least, for sure more action than romance. Can they have a future together if they survive this deadly hunt?

This was another fast-paced suspense book with some serious spice thrown in. I liked the plot, although I don't think I would have been friends with the female protagonist.
I anticipated a sequel but this is separate main characters. Some of the story comes from the first book so you should still read them in order.

I highly enjoyed Jennifer's writing. I was sucked right in and couldn't put it down until I was done. Her Rocky Mountain Defender contained everything I love in a novel. Romance, steamy, suspense and great characters. Definitely recommend this a read

Jennifer throws you into the excitement of the mystery in the very first chapter and you want to keep reading. The characters are likeable. Jennifer stays true to the romance genre without being overly sweet. The mystery adds an extra dimension to the love story.
Very good.
Very good.

April 28, 2018"Bokal blends action and romance in a way that makes this second book in the Rocky Mountain Justice series a truly entertaining read. Scenes filled with heightened tension and authentic, menacing villains will have readers turning the pages. Roman is a tough, protective alpha hero whose motivation will be felt by readers and hook them into the story. His instant connection and chemistry with Madelyn sizzles with a fiery intensity that will heat up the pages" (4 stars @ RT Book Reviews).
