About this ebook

Former Navy SEAL, Stone Jacobs, with help from Hank Patterson’s Brotherhood Protectors launches a mission to rescue his team of mercenaries stranded in Afghanistan after US withdrawal. 

Undercover as a journalist, international assassin, Kyla Russell is performing her last assignment in Afghanistan. She baulks when she discovers her mission is to kill a man who doesn't deserve it. Kyla wants out of the business, but her handler would rather see her dead than let her go. Trapped by the Taliban with a team of mercenaries, her only way out is to allow herself to be swept into a daring rescue by a sexy former Navy SEAL. The mercenaries and Kyla are transported back to the States and rehomed in Yellowstone.

With his team of former SEALs turned mercenaries, Stone sets up a Yellowstone division of Brotherhood Protectors at his father’s lodge in West Yellowstone. Struggling with his attraction to the ballsy journalist, Stone hires Kyla as the team communications expert not realizing the full extent of her military skills or his growing feelings for her. When her past comes to call, the team rallies around her. Together, Stone and Kyla fight the enemy determined to silence an assassin and surrender to their attraction for each other.

Ratings and reviews

I wasn't a big fan of this book. I wanted to try it out as it's a genre I enjoy and I like series' but I found this pretty boring and pretty clichè. It has alot of filler when I think the author could have spent that time creating a more dramatic plot. It felt like she was just trying to get up a word count. I made it half way through and gave up.

What a great start to the new series of Brotherhood Protectors and the Yellowstone division. A group made up of former special forces individuals ready to start their civilian life doing what they love and do best, protecting those in need. We are introduced to the group and their leader, former Navy SEAL Stone Jacobs, as well as undercover CIA agent, Kyla Russell , get their story. Kyla is in Afghanistan assigned to assassin a man supposedly in the wrong, but her instincts and investigations made her question her orders. In the midst of helping the man she’s almost killed. On the run she meets up with Stone and his group of mercenaries. Men that had been rescued as well. Still undercover she ends up with the team in Montana. From that moment on , the action continues, as does the attraction between Stone and Kyla. As they all team together to right the wrong , we get a chance to meet up with some of the characters from previous books. This action packed, suspense romance, will grab your attention from the first page to the last, leaving you anxiously waiting for the next book in the series. Kudos also to the author for presenting a strong female character, but also for reminding us that as individuals and as a nation , we need to do more for those returning brave men and woman who are willing to keep us safe . I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

This Brotherhood Protectors novel starts off a little differently. Hank Patterson’s crew was asked to rescue another team of Seals hiding out in the mountains of Afghanistan. Stone had previously been on Hank’s Seals team when Hank was enlisted. Hank would do anything to help a former teammate, so they arrange a rescue mission. Only, they end up with an “extra” American—Kyla. While running away from men who are out to kill her, Kyla luckily stumbles into a group of American soldiers. They vow to help her and take her back to the cave with them. They believe she’s a journalist. Little do they know she’s a hired assassin for the CIA AND she has a price on her head. She heads back to the states, thinking she’s no longer in danger…. This novel is fast-paced, unique, insta-love, romantic suspense. I enjoy reading romantic suspense novels where the heroine is kick-butt, strong! This was definitely a page turner, suspenseful. I also enjoyed the transition into the next series of Brotherhood Protectors Yellowstone. I can’t wait to see what kind of crazies Yellowstone has! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
