This was a quick read military romantic suspense story.
Loved the story and characters. It was great to see such a strong skillful heroine and kudos to the hero for respecting her skills and not being threatened by hers exceeding some of his. Highly recommend!
Hannah Kader is an officer in the all female YPG battalion of the Syrian Army. She has dual citizenship which allows her to serve the country where she was born. She had dated another officer in the male battalion named Aziz who used her for information. He was the brother of the head of ISIS and the heir apparent. She turned him into the authorities and he died trying to escape. The brother blames her for his death and has sent men to capture her. Both her parents were kidnapped and beaten so she was sent to their vacation home in Big Sky, Montana to hideout until the U.S. government could resolve the matter.
Isaac Snow is a former SEAL and now an operator for the Guardian Security Atlanta Center. He grew up in Big Sky and knows the area well. He is under the impression he will be acting as a bodyguard for the pampered daughter of two physicians.
They are found by the terrorists and have to flee to the back country cabin his Uncle owns. They hook up and fall in love. They are found by the terrorists and have to flee but are caught up in an avalanche. Isaac is injured. They decide to marry and get their HEA.

Elite Protection is a spectacular romantic suspense by KaLyn Cooper. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Cooper has edited, rewritten Snow SEAL and delivers it to us as Elite Protection. Isaac, former Navy SEAL, arrived in Montana early enough to have a good day on skis and brew and food with his buddy before his client arrived. Hannah's family had hired protection for her after her parents were attacked trying to find their daughter. Hannah has been out of the country fighting in the all-female YPJ Battalion of the Syrian People's Protection Unit and now has a bounty on her head. Hannah and Isaac's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to my next KaLyn Cooper book. Elite Protection is book 4 of the Guardian ELITE Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

The Guardian ELITE series has been amazing to read. Kalyn Cooper packs her stories with action, romance, strong main characters and no matter what order you read them in you will not be able to put them down until the last word is read. Elite Protection is book 4.
Having dual citizenship and being raised primarily in one culture then as an adult return to your birth country Hannah goes to help protect young girls and allow them to get an education. Too bad the radicals don't want that and she now has a price on her head.
Isaac Snow, after leaving the Seals, went to work for the Guardian Security Atlanta Center. He receives orders to do protection duty for Hannah. He was expecting a spoiled debutant and was shocked to know she was as capable as him if not slightly better.
I received an arc and this is my honest and voluntary review. I highly recommend this book and all the others .

Another good novella in the Guardian series. This is Issac Snow's story. He's sent on protection detail to Montana. He grew up there and not only is he highly trained at his job, he has the backcountry snow experience that may be needed this time of year. Issac's biggest problem is that he seems to label people without getting to know them first. He has his assignment for Hannah Kader all mapped out in his head. He feels that she's some pampered princess that he will need to do everything for. Well Issac is in for a big surprise! Hannah left college to fight for freedom for the Syrian girls and is well skilled and knows how to handle herself in almost any situation. She's definitely going to keep Issac on his toes! ELITE Protection was a good story however I wish it was longer and had more depth to it. It was told from dual POV and had plenty of heat and action. It can easily be read in one afternoon.

Loved this book. There is a lot of suspense and tension and Hannah keeps surprising Isaac with how well trained she really is.
Isaac thought he was going to be a bodyguard for some rich, entitled woman. Hannah is a trained warrior and thought she was in love with Aziz but found out he was part of ISIS and turned him in as a traitor and was told he was killed trying to escape. Now Isaac has to keep her safe while his family is trying to get to her. Being in close quarters 24/7 for and they started having feelings for each other. But will Isaac be able to keep her safe when they find where she is hiding out? Who is it that is actually chasing her and why?

Elite Protection: WOW! Excellent story! Fantastic writing and amazing characters. Great continuation of the series and there is never a dull moment with the Guardian team. Issac had not been home since he left to join the Navy but the assignment to him back to the ski mountains and he always loved that but wasn't planning on seeing his father. He hoped that the female he was protecting was prepared for the weather in Montana. He was not expecting the beauty did not trust him. She was tough and did not trust anyone. They enjoyed each other's company she understood what he was there to do. It was a great story and very entertaining and had lots of suspense.

A quick, enjoyable novella…
Perfectly balanced – this is not your over-the-top extreme violent and sexually explicit read. There is just enough suspense, strength of character, intriguing plot and romance to engage and entertain you. I certainly didn’t miss the typical misunderstandings and back and forth banter found in other romance novels. Instead, I could appreciate the maturity and more direct communication needed in their threatening situation. Isaac and Hanna were perfectly matched – perhaps, uncommonly so, but makes for a satisfying experience…I received an arc and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Initially, Isaac Snow, as a member of Guardian Security, believes he is being tasked with protecting a pampered princess hiding from someone she’s pissed off. Instead, when he meets Hannah Kader, he finds a fierce warrior willing and able to fight for her life with an actual bounty on her head. This is an exciting and captivating tale with a fast-paced narrative and solidly built characters. The drama is intense and the passion steamy. Perfect elements that will keep you thoroughly engaged and entertained from beginning to end.
May 27, 2022
Thank you for writing another awesome book! Isaac makes the mistake of thinking Hannah is just a pampered princess. He soon finds out how wrong he is. She's a fierce woman and is not going to be passive with her safety. This book is a fast paced thrill ride a minute. The twists and turns that will keep you glued to the story and heart pounding suspense are just part of what makes this book amazing. Not to mention, a healthy dose of romance. I can't wait for the next book! Sorry, no spoilers. I received this ARC and here is my honest review.

Enter Isaac, ex Seal now working for Guardian Security, who expecting to be looking after a pampered princess, gets surprise after surprise when he meets Hannah. A fun read.

Elite Protection was fabulous. KaLyn Cooper always delivers a sexy, highly suspenseful page-turner. Hannah and Isaac are both badass protectors. Hannah is running from ISIS, and Isaac is there to have her back. Their chemistry is intense from the beginning. Can they stop the bad guys and save Hannah and her family? Kalyn Cooper guarantees that you will be riveted to her books with twist and turns and great characters.

You know those books that end way before you’re ready to say goodbye to the characters – this is one of those! Isaac, despite his initial misgivings, soon finds he and Hannah are evenly matched, and this level of equivalent competence really appealed to me in this book. Read the blurb for the basic outline, and then revel in great writing, a gripping storyline, and some of the most engaging and appealing characters I’ve met in a long time.

Strong Characters Build Strong Bonds!!
A security “babysitting” job turns into much, much more. First, our heroine is kick-*ss in her own right. Also there are some truly dangerous people after her. A delightful interweaving of family backstory and the current respect and attraction on all parts creates an action-filled and exciting adventure.

Seriously hot protection
Isaac was sent to protect Hannah when threats against her and her family from ISIS, being in Big Sky Country, beautiful scenery aside the bad guys find them, a deeper hideout, rustic and soothing, more things are heating up beside the generator, awesome story and I hope to see more of them and what the future holds for them after getting married and ridding the world of another terrorist, thank you, Dana Zamora

This was a fast-paced book with lots of action. Isacc is assigned to guard Hannah and he's in for quite the surprise. He thinks she's just a spoiled pampered daughter but, what he doesn't know is she's a captain in an all-female squad in Syia. Why is ISIS after her and what secrets does she hold. Can Isacc protect her? This book is filled with suspense, danger, romance and danger. A must read.
May 27, 2022
Even better than the original!! Isaac was hired to protect a bratty rich girl at her parents cabin in Montana. Was Isaac shocked when Hanna showed him how well equipped she really was. Can Isaac actually protect Hanna from ISIS or will he get so caught up in his feelings for her that he misses glaring evidence that get them both killed?
May 27, 2022
It's funny how our perception of someone can be so wrong compared to reality. Issac expected to be guarding a pampered princess and spending a short time with his first job at Guardian. What he got was a highly trained female warrior hiding from ISIS.
This book may be short, but it packs a lot in a few chapters. This is definitely one that will be reread again and again.

I enjoyed this story in KaLyn's Guardian Elite series. Kalyn writes about strong, capable, independent women who find men who aren't intimidated by their strength, and Hannah was no different. Both Isaac and Hannah had hard times in their past but luckily found each other and an HEA. There was plenty of action and suspense, and Kalyn had me on the edge of my seat plenty in this short story.
May 26, 2022
Another awesome ride with the Guardian Elite filled with action packed, heart racing terror keeping Isaac and Hannah on their toes but finding Hannah isn't the pampered princess just might find Isaac losing his heart. Loved it!!
May 27, 2022
Even though this story is shorter in length, it doesn't mean it is light on action. There's plenty of suspense and romance, humor, terrorists, skiing, and wonderful characters. Love seeing strong female characters that match up well with the alpha males.

Another great read by Kalyn Cooper. She never disappoints. This is a short quick read with lots of action, mystery and suspense. You won't stop til the end.

Loved Hannah & Issac's story. Thanks KaLyn for writing another great Guardian story. Can't wait for more. Love the string women and the men who love them.

Another great book by KaLyn Cooper. Amazing characters and a fast paced plot. A novella easily read on a flight from Orlando to Tennessee. Happy reading!

Isaac, ex Seal now working for Guardian Security, is not looking forward to his latest assignment. He thinks he’s going to be babysitting a spoiled brat. Boy is he in for a rude awakening.

Isaac gets his idea that all is not as he supposed when he is met by Hannah pointing a gun at him. Hannah not convinced he’s her protection puts him through hoops to convince her he’s a Guardian.
When to two settle down, and get to know each other they realise their ideas of the other are wrong and they begin to work as a team. They agree that going into remote hiding together seems to be the best bet for Hannah’s safety. However, just when they think they’re safe, a blast from Hannah’s past appears, and they have to fight for their lives if they want their HEA

This was a great book with lots of action. Hannah is a US citizen with ties to Syria. She was a captain with the all female squad to rescue children kidnapped by ISIS. Her lover, Syrian Commander of the squad of men like her group, betrayed her by using info of win they were going to attack. Isacc was assigned to protect from her lover's father who was after her for killing his son. Hannah and Isacc become close but there are things he doesn't know about her and why they are after her. Would recommend this book to readers.
