About SILENT PROTECTOR:

Some secrets keep you safe… Adeline Rodriguez left her violent past behind, buried her secrets and started over in Verona Bay. Now a successful co-owner in a local pet grooming business, she’s made a life for herself in this idyllic community, and has real friends. Thanks to her past, the only thing she hasn’t mastered yet is a real relationship. And when circumstances lead her to finally let her guard down with sexy Mac Collins, he completely ghosts her. Her first instinct is to close herself off again, but she decides to confront him instead—and that fateful decision puts her directly in the crosshairs of a killer. Others can destroy you… Mac has wanted Adeline since the moment they met, but she made it clear that she didn’t want a relationship. So he kept his distance. When they’re trapped together in a remote cabin, things change between them. But Mac’s past has come back to haunt him, so he pushes her away to protect her. Unfortunately, it’s already too late. Adeline is now a target too. To save her, Mac has no choice except to end the threat. Only then can he try to win over the woman he can’t live without. But winning over the feisty Adeline might prove to be harder than stopping a killer.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Silent Protector is the third book in the Verona Bay series.  It can be read as a stand-alone but Mac and Adeline rescue of Mac’s brother Joe was in the previous book, Deadly Past.  It’s not necessary to read but it is referred to and part of their story.  I’ve really enjoyed this series and come to love the small town of Verona Bay.  The characters are charming and genuine.  I really came to love Mac’s character in the second book.  He was so sweet and had given up his previous life to move back to Verona Bay and take care of his two younger brothers.  His gruff personality made it hard to see how big his heart was but his determination to find his brother revealed he was just a big softy under the strong lumberjack image.  Adeline had a hidden past that kept her from truly opening up.  I loved seeing her overcome her fear and trust Mac with her past.  This was truly an amazing book, and I cannot wait for the next book.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
