About this listen
A new stand-alone novel from Jodi Ellen Malpas, the best-selling author of This Man and One Night trilogies.
People think they have Camille Logan nailed: Daddy's girl, beautiful, spoiled young woman with her father's bank balance to fund her lifestyle. But Camille is determined to have a life free from his strings.
Out on her own, she's made mistakes, including one that found her clawing her way back after a stint in rehab and plenty of bad press. Now, after fighting so hard to be independent and happy, she finds her life threatened as a result of her father's ruthless business dealings.
Caught between resentment and fear, Camille prepares herself for the measures her father will take to protect her. But nothing could prepare her for the ex-SAS sniper who crashes into her life.
Jake Sharp resides in his own personal hell. He was distracted from duty once before, and the consequences were devastating - both personally and professionally. He vowed to never let that happen again. Accepting the job of bodyguard to Camille Logan isn't the kind of distraction from his demons he should take.
Women and Jake don't mix well, yet protecting the heiress seems the lesser of two evils. But Jake soon discovers that she isn't the woman she's perceived to be. She's warm, compassionate, her presence settling, and his duty to protect her soon goes deeper than a well-paid job, no matter how hard he fights it. He needs absolution. He comes to need Camille. But he knows he can't have both.

Loved it!
Having read several negative reviews I approached The Protector with trepidation. I needn't have, I loved it. I've read and reread This Man and One Night series and this is on the same level so I'm writing my first ever review to counterbalance said negative reviews. For me it's ever so romantic and erotic and has a very happy ending. What more could I want?

Wow
This was a great read of romance and intrigue. Loved that cami pulled Jake form the dark and into the light. Loved the intrigue of the blackmail. Didn’t see that twist. Narration was awesome too.

Mediocre
The story wasn’t one of Jodi’s best. Usually I love them. This one was a bit dull and predictable.
The biggest problem was the narrators. The woman was okay but read too slowly. I’m afraid the man was pretty woeful. I wasn’t sure if he was trying to put on an lower class British accent for Jake, but it didn’t suit the character. Trying to speak the female parts…he was laughable. Sounded like a drag Queen!
Why can’t Audible simply get a male and female to record together and she can do all the female parts and he can do all the male parts?

The Protector
A good yarn. How a damaged sniper, who carried so much guilt found love again. A rich father, who tried to control everything, lost it all. A beautiful women, how tired them all together.

A book full of actual numpties
I can’t rate these characters any lower, but I would if I could. Jake Sharp is one big, overgrown man-baby who has no emotional maturity, sense of professionalism, or general know how of being a decent human being. And Camille Logan? My goodness, talk about a lack of character development. She genuinely does not make sense. Sure, Jake gets aggressive and irritated at practically everything, but Camille doesn’t get upset when she should (like after traumatising events), but gets upset over stupid, petty things. This book is actually mind-boggling bad and I don’t know how anyone ever thought otherwise.
There’s no character development at all and all the characters are actual numpties.
The best character is Abbie, followed by Charlotte- but we only see about two minutes of them in the whole thing.
Narrators: I’ve never heard ANYONE narrate (or speak) as slow as Alexandra Baldwin. I genuinely had to listen to her on 2.0 speed, sometimes 2.2.
Owen MacMahon is difficult to understand and, in my opinion, didn’t get the intonation and vocal expression right. He made his character sound like a jerk throughout the whole narration. His articulation was also below par and it made his parts difficult to understand.
Overall, I highly recommend you do NOT waste your money or time in this audiobook or the shockingly laughable story.

Narrator put me off
Didn't finish the book. Found the narrator very monotone. The story was ok but couldn't get past the tone or lack of enthusiasm coming from the narrator, quite annoying really.
