Army Ranger #2
The Ranger's Peace
Ivy Manning never expected her small advice column to turn into a national radio show. Over the last year, she's gone from blending in with the crowd to book tours and daytime show appearances. When a stalker starts threatening her, a bodyguard from the Guardian Group is hired--tall, blonde, and hotter than hot, Kolby Rutherford.
Becoming a bodyguard to a rich girl was an assignment Kolby never wanted. His past experience with the wealthy left a bad taste in his mouth, but after spending time with Ivy, his opinion is changing.
When a plane crash strands them in the mountains, they're forced to lean on each other for survival. Will he be able to keep his distance or will Ivy weave her way into his heart?

I borrowed The Ranger's Peace from the Kindle Unlimited program.
Ivy Manning an up and coming radio talk show star has a stalker and Kolby Rutherford from the Guardian Group is on the job protecting her. He is a southern man with a heavy accent, but a good man that is dedicated to serving his country, people in need and God. He feels he is not good enough for Ivy and her world where she earns her living talking.
A stalker turns dangerous, a plane crash and accidents on the mountain and the romance and attraction grows between Ivy and Kolby. The constant problems, conflict the surprise stalker reveal made The Ranger's Peace a wonderful story of a Christian couple of opposites finding love and peace together.

I have enjoyed this Clean Army Ranger series of books. I think this is either the fifth or sixth one I have either read or listened to and I have enjoyed them all. I have bounced around with them proving that they don't have to be read in order.
Kolby is an ex Army Ranger who works for the Guardian Security Group with some other of his Army buddies. Kolby had a rough childhood once his mother remarried and in order to escape, he had joined the Army. He had experienced physical and verbal abuse from his step-dad and that damage had carried into his adult life. He didn't understand what a good person he was.
Ivy was a successful advice columnist and when a stalker began threatening her, she needed protection and Kolby was set up as her bodyguard. The danger becomes scarier and closer to home and the closer Ivy and Kolby got, the more they enjoyed spending time with one another.
There is a happy ending in this book with a twist as to who the stalker is. It is a clean and wholesome read and appropriate for anyone who enjoys a good romance.
I listened to the audio version of this book and I think the narration is very well done.

Kolby & Ivy were a cute couple. Kolby was a darling and
such a gentleman. It was sad hearing about his insecurities but I loved how Ivy stood up for him. I wish his insecurities didn’t drag on for as long as it did though. It made him seem too pitiful and caused him to wallow a lot.
Anyway, Ivy was a likeable character, she was sweet & kind. She was a people pleaser and I hated how others manipulated her. But it was nice how Kolby encouraged and gave her the confidence to also stand up for herself. While this describes the first 1/2 of the book, the 2nd 1/2 went downhill real quick.
The villain was as plain as day which ruined the suspense. The action was nonexistent. Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong with Kolby. He was poisoned (twice), hits his head (twice), slid down a mountain scraping off half his back, cut his hand on a fishing line, twisted his ankle and almost drowned…come on give the guy a break. He was literally the worst bodyguard. With all that happened to him he needed his own security detail. Not only that but Ivy became too whiney and indecisive. This amped up the angst and lowered my interest.
Content: Clean, Kissing, Moderate talk of god, Mild violence.

Nice story.
Good read. Just couldn’t believe the surviving the plane crash and no one broke any bones. Too many things went wrong, but never any ‘serious’ consequences.

Two people who have insecurities that hinder them from having relationships.
This story is more about money, fame, & survival. Let's start with Ivy. She is a woman in her 20s who is known for her radio personality & advice. She wrote a book and is increasingly growing her fan base. She comes from a great close knit family. Because her parents were high school sweethearts she expected the same to happen to her. When it doesn't it seems that she doesn't pursue any more romantic relationships. And with her career taking off she really hasn't had time. When she gets a stalker her father hires a bodyguard from Guardian Group. This is when she meets Kolby her bodyguard. Right away there is something that puts her at ease or peace when Kolby is near. Ivy the is being run ragged by her manager & friend Missy. Her best friend who she hired to help her.
Kolby is immediately appalled by Missy's lack of listening to Ivy when she begs for a break or vacation. Ivy's schedule is too packed & it seems Ivy just lets her manager steamroll over her until she eventually caves & does whatever is asked. It makes Kolby sick. Kolby already has a bad opinion of rich people. It's been his experience that they are all arrogant & look down on everyone else. This includes him because Kolby has a very hic accent & people have a hard time understanding him. Kolby's stepfather was rich & he used to beat Kolby regularly while his mom turned the other way. He joined the Army to get away from them. He also purposely stayed behind with his commanding officer in prison because he was worried about him. I know if he hadn't Noah wouldn't have survived the torture. Obviously Kolby has an internal voice that replays all the verbal abuse he has received over his lifetime. He thinks no one would love a backwoods hic like him. Kolby has a faith in God that he leans on heavily.
Kolby, Missy, & Ivy head to Seattle to tape a talk show that Ivy didn't even want to do. The network is hiring a new co-star. Ivy doesn't want the position. She only does it because Missy says she worked so hard to get her the opportunity. After the taping Ivy just wants to go to the hotel to sleep. Missy insists the show executives want to take them out to lunch. Reluctantly Ivy again folds like a house of cards. Ivy insists Kolby be allowed to stay in the meeting. Missy treats him like white trash. Ivy stands up to her even pulling up a chair to their table & making him sit by her. He grabs her hand & helps her stand up to Missy. Ivy has to reject the executives off over & over again. She has no desire to move to Seattle. She wants to go back to doing radio. Afterwards she & Missy fight. Kolby offers to fly her home. They rent a plane & take off. Unfortunately, a storm pops up & the plane gets struck by lightning. They have to make an emergency landing. They are stranded in the mountains. Kolby had brought the right emergency gear though. They begin making their trek down the mountain. Looking for water so they could follow it down. They survive hunger & injury. But will they be able to survive their insecurities? Who is the stalker & will they try to take advantage of the fact that they are alone on a mountain to confront them? Will Kolby & Ivy be able to take a leap of faith & overcome their fears to be together?

⭐⭐⭐. 75
Ivy is a really good-hearted, hard-working woman and if Missy was truly her friend, she would see that and not treat her the way she did. During the first chapters I hoped throughout the book she would've learned to put her priorities and well-being first and I'm glad she did; otherwise, people would've kept taking advantage of her kindness.
Honestly I was initially suspicious of Missy and didn't like her so I didn't expect her change of heart. And in fact... I was right! I've been fooled by the unexpected change of heart! I didn't like her character one bit (I've seen what emotional manipulation and toxic people can do) and the change was too soon, too drastic. It made no sense in my head. It didn't feel genuine: in conclusion, I should've listened to my gut feeling 😂
And Kolby, that man is a freaking sweetheart 😭 I did not expect this before beginning this book!
What? 😂🤣 Kolby's brain had a serious melting accident/issue at this point 🤣
Despite the heart of gold both protagonists have to different degrees, they both made mistakes and had to overcome some fears, insecurities and anger inside of them. I feel like those elements made it somewhat more realistic. If they weren't there, everything would've been more of a "flawless" staticity but the reader wouldn't have seen any growth or real development. Regardless, I wish we could've seen more of Kolby's self-reflecting introspection time where he came to the realisation he had more healing to do before meeting Ivy again.
And I kinda wish the ending wasn't so rushed.
She stepped into him, placing the flat of her hand against his chest.
“No, really. Kolby, don’t listen to people like Missy. They’re wrong. You have a beautiful accent and a voice I could listen to all day. I like your laughter, what little I’ve heard, and you’re brave and heroic. You served this country, and if anyone doesn’t see that and appreciate you, it’s their loss, not yours.”

“Good boy,” she said and smiled sweetly.
“You pet my head or hand me a treat, and I’ll let you leave me on this mountain to rot,” he grumbled.
She reached up and kissed him on the cheek. “That was a treat. You want to be left?”
The tips of his ears burned so badly they hurt. “No.”
What? 😂🤣 Kolby's brain had a serious melting accident/issue at this point 🤣
He chuckled. It was a silly thing, but that little declaration did his heart good. She believed in him, even at his weakest. Something he’d been wanting for a long time. A woman to hold on to and to hold on to him, even in the midst of a storm. Only now, that woman had a name. Ivy. And just like the plant, she’d wrapped herself around him so strongly that he couldn’t see breaking free. He didn’t want to, either, because in her arms, he felt peace.

The Ranger’s Peace: Clean Army Ranger Romance: Book 2 is by Bree Livingston. This book in the series deals with friendship, stalkers, and romance. It teems with adventure too.
Kolby Rutherford was a member of the Guardian Group. He had been hired by Ivy Manning’s father to protect her from a stalker. Unfortunately, he had been on the job for a year now and the Group seemed no closer to finding the stalker than they were. Both Ryder and Mia were working on the computers trying to trace the stalker through the emails and packages sent. So far, they were having no luck. So, Kolby was still on the job. His job was complicated by Ivy’s manager, Missy, who was also her best friend. Missy didn’t like having Kolby around and wanted to hire their own security. However, Ivy wouldn’t let her.
Ivy liked Kolby and having him around made her feel safe. She was on the go all the time and was getting exhausted. She had begun to have panic attacks and wanted a rest. Missy kept promising her a vacation; but never seemed to come. Now, she had a book tour, her radio programs, and a station in Seattle wanted her to be a co-host on one of their programs. Against her wishes, Ivy was in Seattle to do the show. She found out she disliked the host and didn’t want to do the show; but Missy insisted on going to lunch with the other side and talking about it. Ivy had enough, she walked out of the lunch and on Missy. She headed to shop in Seattle. She wanted to shop until she dropped. Kolby was with her all the way.
What will Ivy do now? Will she stand firm and take her vacation or will Missy persuade her to take on another activity? How can Ivy get Kolby to really look and see her? Will Kolby succumb to his love for Ivy and tell her or will he just quit being her bodyguard?

WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Ivy Manning never expected her small advice column to turn into a national radio show. Over the last year, she's gone from blending in with the crowd to book tours and daytime show appearances. When a stalker starts threatening her, a bodyguard from the Guardian Group is hired--tall, blonde, and hotter than hot, Kolby Rutherford.
Becoming a bodyguard to a rich girl was an assignment Kolby never wanted. His past experience with the wealthy left a bad taste in his mouth, but after spending time with Ivy, his opinion is changing.
When a plane crash strands them in the mountains, they're forced to lean on each other for survival. Will he be able to keep his distance or will Ivy weave her way into his heart?
MY TAKE
This is the second Army Ranger audiobook I've listened to on YouTube. I love these guys! And the ladies they end up falling for are so fun. Ivy is so down to earth, and Kolby's just his tough guy self, but they hit it off. As with the first book, there are are sweet moments of growing friendship and discovery and terrifying moments of peril. And a few twists as well.
I love this series.

The Ranger’s Peace by Bree Livingston (4 stars)
I loved this plot and the characters! Both are struggling with self-worth, each in his/her own way. They are stronger when they are together.
I love how tough and yet gentle Kolby was. It was great how he truly saw Ivy and her needs. (I loved that he had little talks with God.) His childhood abuse and subsequent torture while in service give his character depth and compassion and yet he’s still struggling with the after-effects.
Ivy is needy at first, because of exhaustion, but as she spends time alone with Kolby, she rediscovers the strong woman she’s always been.
The stalker is handled really well. At first I thought I knew who it was, but then was led on a merry dance until it came back to the person I’d originally suspected. But by then the shock factor was back in full force!
*poor, **ok, *** good, ****very good, *****something special

The rapid rise from local advice columnist to popular multi-media personality brought Ivy Manning plenty of things, among them a slowly escalating stalker. Hence the 24x7 assistance of insecure, quite southern Kolby Rutherford much to her best friend/manager Missy’s annoyance. Fighting her ever-softening feelings toward Kolby while he tries to not cross the line makes things a little tense for Ivy. Disagreements over Kolby and Ivy’s iron-clad schedule Missy holds her to that don’t include personal time leave Ivy exhausted. Not to mention the stalker is still out there. Determined Ivy will have the break she needs, Kolby offers to fly her to her family. It’s just their luck that lightning from a pop-up spring storm hits their plane and the winds fight Kolby as he makes a controlled crash landing.

This is a great new series. I liked this group of ex Army Rangers from a previous book and love that they are getting their own series. Kolby has been through so much. I really enjoyed his character and cried a few times at the things he went through. Ivy is also a wonderful character. She is so loving and trusting. At first when I read there was a plane crash in this book, I was worried it would be too similar to another one of Bree's books, but I could not have been more wrong. This was a sweet story about two people learning to put their trust in each other, but most importantly with God. Don't worry, if you're not really religious you will still enjoy this book. It's not preachy, bit does have moments about faith and trust in the Lord.

A romance that anyone would be jealous to have - need a great book this is a great choice!
Ivy is a star rising up faster then a rocket ship! Unfortunately her schedule is so demanding she now has fatigue and panic attacks. She also now has a stalker. Guardian has sent Kolby a former ranger is her body guard. Romance is not hallmark scene it's the touches, smiles, kisses and that undying sacrifice for putting the one you love above all else. That soul mate belief. This story helps with betrayal and forgiveness. A clean romance with religion but not smack you side of the head with it. Violence 1 (stalker), sex 0 romance 2.

Good, Clean Romance
As in book 1 of this series, the characters are outstanding. Kolby is an ex-Army Ranger turned bodyguard and Ivy is a radio personality being stalked. Kolby has a deep relationship with God and he lives by his faith. There is a scene in this book that he compares his life with the book of Job. I found this scene very meaningful. Ivy is a very thoughtful, caring person who nerds Kolby’s help for safety and also to give her some peace in her overwhelming life.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series.

An ex Army Ranger turned bodyguard falls for his beautiful client.
Enjoyed being with this author. My first time reading her work.Kolby and Ivy story was exciting. She accepted him for who he was inside and out. He had been put down in his past and didn't feel loved. But Ivy showed him what true love is. Her enemy was real close to her. God got them out of some hairy situations. Their love for each other grew more each time. Looking forward to the rest of the stories in this series.

I had a free copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Ivy Manning, radio personality has a bodyguard because of threats made to her. Bodyguard Kolby Rutherford tries to keep a personal relationship out of the mix because he feels no one understands his speech and everyone thinks he’s stupid. Ivy’s assistant is no exception. The plot of this book features a plane crash and survival, and a stalker. A must read!

Another Win
The hits kept coming in this book. I couldn’t put it down. I loved the cinnamon roll hero, which is unusual for me. His dilemma was relatable, too. I guessed who the villain was but that kind of thing doesn’t bother me unless I’m reading a mystery/crime novel. The heroine was fun to get to know. I look forward to reading more of the series in the future. If you enjoy clean, inspirational, suspense romance, then I recommend reading it.

A “clean” romance
What a novel concept - no sex after the first date? Or god forbid - no sex before marriage? Was this book written in the 1920? Actually it was a pretty good book, although a little religious oriented and a bashful man. It was a welcome change from a lot of the “contemporary” romances. Recommend

What do you get when you have Kolby, a good-looking ex-Army Ranger, Ivy, a successful talk show host, and a stalker? An excellent suspenseful story with lots of twists and turns along the way that has one wondering until the end. This book was a clean, sweet read that was hard to put down. I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.

Although I usually prefer reading books with a faith element, these clean army ranger romances were fun reads. Strong, capable wounded men and their journey to realising that healing is possible and a lifetime love could be too.
Standalone books but more enjoyable to read in order. Clean, sweet (no blushing required).

Radio star, Ivy Manning has a stalker. For almost a year, Kolby Rutherford has been her bodyguard. When her manager, Missy gets her a gig as a costar on a Seattle TV talk show, the stalker gets serious and sends a package covered in liquid nicotine-a highly toxic substance to the touch. Kolby picks it up and the action really ramps up. Great characters with some fun suspense.

Highly recommended
This is book two of this series and I highly recommend this to anyone, any age that loves a good romance/suspense. The author has a way of building the characters so that they become almost real. Like watching a movie.

The Ranger's Peace
Great book. An imperfect hero, at least in his mind, and a perfect heroine, at least in his mind. They had to come together and see the perfection and imperfection of each other. Good clean romance.

Kolby
The story is enjoyable, fast to read, and the characters are generally good. There are times toward the end when Kolby went from using words properly to suddenly being unable to put a clear sentence together. A lot of angst in this story
