Montana Heat: Protected by Love audiobook

Reviewed for Romancing the Readers Blog:http://romancingthereaders.blogspot.c...There is something about a story written by Jennifer Ryan. She has this ability to suck you in and keep you there. She writes such great hero's. You just want to know them. Each story I read of her's I fall a little bit more in love with her writing. I'm always excited when she starts a new series. All new hero's to love. Her stories are always hero driven. So sexy! In Protected by Love you meet Caden Cooke and Mia Martin. Two very likable characters. This is only a novella but you feel like their story is a full one. I finished the book very satisfied. I really loved Mia! The woman was kick ass. Probably one of Ryan's strongest women and that's saying a lot because her ladies go through a ton of crap. I also really liked Caden. He was so worried throughout about both his brother and Mia. I'd love to explain more but I don't want to ruin the story for you. Just know, that you won't be sorry reading it. Protected By Love is the perfect start to this new series and I can't wait for more.Follow me on:https://www.facebook.com/RomancingThe...https://twitter.com/RomancingreaderARC Received for a honest review

These two sexy hot DEA agents were introduced to us back in the Montana Men series, Stone Cold Cowboy. Every since that menacing and spectacular intro, I have been wanting to have a bit more of them both. Now, with this introduction to a new series we are almost picking up where we left off with these two brothers. Back to the man at hand, Caden. Three blind dates set up. Twice stood up. The third time turns in to an adventure that would tell you to stay away. Far, far away. This was not so the case. Caden and Mia have one mind blowing blind date that turns into so much more for them both. Drug dealers, escaped criminals, car chases, frying pan, shots fired, tender touch, long kisses, and so much more. Jennifer Ryan quickly became one of my favorite authors when I was introduced to her last year. I have read almost every series she has created. I always find a read that transports me and leaves me excited to make it to the next book or the next new series.

4 starThe story has laughs, danger, suspense, and heartbreak. This is Mia and Caden’s story. Caden and Mia’s aunts have been trying to get them together for a while but Caden keeps missing their dates because of work. When Mia agrees to one more try with he is happy and decides to go all out. They finally get that date and connect. But danger is out for Caden and is not afraid to hurt Mia to get to him. What happens when the danger comes at them and can hurt them both? Can Caden forgive himself for the danger he brought to Mia? Or is the relationship over before they can get to a second date? I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read. I recommend this book.

Great beginningA great story to jump start a brand new series. This is a quick read but it's full of action and romance. Caden and Mia were great together. Now I'm anxiously awaiting for Trigger's story. I highly recommend this one.

Reviewing soon

Protected by love is a spin off of sorts from her Montana Men series. In a previous book in the Montana Men series, one of the heroine's siblings was a drug addict (Sadie and her brother Connor). This spin off focuses on the agents undercover to end the drug operations like Connor's. Right away you are introduced to Beck (aka Trigger) and Caden. They are brothers who work with the DEA to take down drug lords. The story starts right in the middle of a raid so you really are jumping right into the action!Mia, the heroine, is a chef who has been stood up 3 times by Caden at this point. His job doesn't make dating easy, and he swears he will make it up to her (and his aunt who has arranged the set up!). Once they meet-swoon. I loved the connection between these two. Throw in the danger from the angry drug dealer and you have a fast and sexy romantic suspense to kick off the new series. I mean, they are in mortal peril by the end of their first date! There is a bit of the insta-love, but I think when you share an experience like Mia and Caden do, you are deeply bonded. I loved that Mia was a bad ass. She wasn't like this crazy, trained assassin or anything, but she knows some self defense and she isn't afraid to use it. It was very well written in terms of believability!Protected by Love is a quick read to get you set up for the rest of the series. Its perfect for a day at the pool or the beach (if you are lucky enough to be by a beach!) and it delivers everything I loved about Jennifer Ryan's books!And, there is really only 1 sex scene so I deem this book SAFE FOR MY MOM! Hi Mom! I think you will like this one-lots of action and likable characters!  POV: 3rd Tears: no Trope: revenge Triggers: none Series/Standalone: stand alone (introduces you to the upcoming series) Cliffhanger: (view spoiler)[no but a lead in to the next book!

“You have no idea how much I wanted to stay with you. I still do.”I am always so very happy when I have a Jennifer Ryan book waiting for me on my Kindle. She is one of those writers I've come to depend on, who I know is going to deliver a story that makes my heart soar and my panties melt and my blood pump. Which is why I am also always so very happy whenever I finish a Jennifer Ryan book. Take Protected by Love. As the prequel novella to Ms. Ryan’s new Montana Heat series, it's a fast-paced introduction (or re-introduction if you remember Caden and Trigger from their brief appearances in other books by this author) to a storyline that is exciting, suspenseful, and sexy. But it's more than that. It's also a sweetly told love story—one of those swoony reads where the connection is made instantly, the relationship blossoms quickly, but the love feels everlasting. One of my favorite things about Ms. Ryan’s books is that her couples start fast yet remain so strong throughout, it becomes impossible not to root for them. Not only that, but the men and women always seem so equal in all things, which gives balance to the overall story. All of which is on display here, in the relationship between Caden and Mia. I might have wished for a little more to the ending—I was surprised to see the word Epilogue so soon—but on the whole, this novella was a wild ride, a sexy start and a fantastic foundation for this series and for this relationship. I'm confident that we haven't seen the last of Caden and Mia, that they'll be back in one way or another in the books to come, which makes so very happy—much like the knowledge that Escape to You, Trigger’s book, is already waiting for me on my Kindle…Their lips touched, and fire shot through him with a swift need that burned and consumed every thought in his head but one: Hold on to her.~ 4.5 STARS ~

Quite the start to a new series by Jennifer Ryan. If you’re looking for some fast-paced action with some warm and fuzzy first date feelings thrown in, this is the book for you.When Mia and Caden finally meet (he stood her up twice!) on their blind date there is instant chemistry. Caden is so sweet without being fake and I can’t blame Mia for forgiving the previous missed dates. For Caden’s part, he’s going to do all that he can to prove to Mia that he’s not a bad guy.I knew going in that this story was considered a novella so it didn’t surprise me when the action started so early on. What did surprise me was the intensity of that action. Holy moly! There was a lot of tension happening…and it was great!If the point of this story was to get me interested in the series and excited for Trigger’s story, it worked. I am fully invested in these characters and want to see every one of them get their HEA. Full review can be found at https://allingoodtimeblog.wordpress.c...

Great introA great intro into a other suspense filled, action packed romantic adventure from Jennifer Ryan. I adore her books of rugged men in Montana who all have the hero gene. I equally enjoy how each of these men tend to fall for strong women with minds of their own. In this gem we meet two brothers who work for the DEA. After an undercover op goes bad, one brother misses a blind date for the second time and the other brother spirals into guilt and pain from how the operation ended. Caden hopes that Mia will give him another shot at a date. Fingers crossed, he truly hopes to make it up to her. Little did either party know this date would become the most memorable in history....and not for reasons they may think. This book has tons of suspense, good guys vs bad guys, and romance....it's a great starting point for her new MONTANA HEAT series...I for one look forward to reading more books in this exciting series.

These two are just disgustingly adorable together. This book has so many of the things I like best in romantic suspense: action, drama, intrigue, and lots of steamy heat. Caden’s third chance at a first date with Mia takes a sharp turn into dangerous and possibly deadly territory. Is this the end of the relationship before it even has a chance to begin? Or does the adrenaline fuel a new more permanent connection between the pair. Mia is my favorite kind of heroine. She’s strong, independent, and she keeps her head in a crisis. She’s really pretty kick-butt. Caden’s a little too willing to carry the weight of the world to be completely perfect, but he’s got everything else that makes an awesome book boyfriend: caring, protective, romantic. This story sets the stage for what I think is going to be a very enjoyable series.

This is my first Jennifer Ryan book, but not my last. I adore Mia, she's spunky and funny and everything I love most in a well written h. I loved the suspense and how quickly everything moved in this story, there was never a moment where I was skipping.(view spoiler)[The only thing that kept this from being a full 5 star for me was the sex scene, not the scene itself but her injuries were very painful, the head stitches alone will have worried her for a few days despite strong pain relief never mind the other cuts and scrapes, there is honestly no way I could see her doing the deed a day after going through surgery and with all those injuries. It took me out of the story and made me wince for her. (hide spoiler)]I'm off to start reading the rest of this amazing authors work.

The great beginning for a new seriesDEA agent Caden Cooke has stood up his blind date twice because of his job. Chef Mia Martin is not happy with this blind date that her aunt has been trying to set her up with after being stood up twice. Her aunt and Caden's aunt convince her to give him one more chance.Once Caden and Mia meet it becomes obvious that it's much more than a blind date. But because of Caden's job the date doesn't end well when their lives are put in jeopardy.During their ordeal Caden will learn that Mia is a very resourceful, strong woman. You can always count on Jennifer Ryan to give her female characters strong, admirable traits.
