I absolutely loved this book! It was thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this book!
Being betrayed by her fiancé not only ended her relationship but it ended her job as well. Needing to regroup her best friend’s wedding in Hawaii couldn’t have come at a better time and being distracted by the sexy stranger at the bar is exactly what she needed.
Harley loves his job as a policeman but it can be all encompassing so some sea and sand in Hawaii while attending his best friend’s wedding is the break he needs, especially when he spends a steamy evening with a beautiful woman at the bar.
They never expected to see each other again except he’s the best man and she’s the maid of honor and when the trip ends so does their flirtation but fate has other ideas when circumstances have her relocating to NY and next door to Harley. Let the fun begin!
Harley is the sexy protector and Raylynn is the perfect combination of sweet and sassy. Humor, heat and a little suspense make this an enjoyable story.
Harley and Raylynn- loved their story!! I loved their relationships with other 425 Madison characters. I love them together.
A simple one night other turns into so much more! I love how the story followed. How it wasn’t rushed. I loved the twist towards the end that was unexpected!!
What I really enjoyed was watching Harley and Raylynn grow as people and then together! Great read!!
This was another solid offering from this series! I had not read anything from this author before but it won’t be the last. Raylynn is the maid of honor for her best friend’s destination wedding. Harley is the best man at the same wedding. They hook up with neither one knowing who the other was. When they find out, they agree to a vacation fling. They both go back to their own lives but does it stay that way? I really enjoyed reading their story. It was also nice to see and hear from other tenants!
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done
Harley and Raylynn heats up the pages to this sizzling romance. After getting a rude awakening by her ex after finding him in a compromising situation, Raylynn decides to leave it all including her job. Adding two days onto her vacation in Hawaii for her friends wedding, she all she wanted was to get her groove back which comes by way of Harley. What she expected to be a one night stand turns into so much more. Now she finds herself living with her best friend thanks to her ex’s underhanded doings and leaves her hometown. Now that she has a new job and friends, someone is stalking her. Will Harley and his team keep her safe and out of harms way. This is one story that draws you in, fuels your soul and have you cheering for Harley and Raylynn. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
I think this book had to be my favorite in the 295 Madison series if not then one of the top three. I enjoyed the dynamic between Harley, this tough cop and his soft spot for Raylynn. From the moment they meet, although they were just meeting a need for themselves, their mutual attraction was obvious. Their dynamic certainly increased through out the story. I enjoyed the dialogue, which was fun and snappy, with a few comebacks that made me chuckle. This was full of drama, and tension, agnst on Raylynn’s part, and great romance and steam plus her hero saves the day type of drama. A really great read!
This was an ARC and this is my honest and voluntary review of this great book.
Such a good book with great characters. I loved how easy it was to fall in love with the characters and the storyline. A lot of great steamy scenes and this book is definitely one you that you don’t want to put down.
Nothing to lose for Harley and Raylynn as they hook up in Hawaii not realizing that they were both in Hawaii for the same reason. A one-night stand turns into more as feelings develop, attraction grows, and their hearts open.
Harley is a tough as nails cop not looking for love or a relationship. He lives at 425 Madison, of course, and when relocation forces Raylynn to move in across the hall there was no way to avoid seeing her. They try to stay away, they try to fight their feelings, and they try to keep their relationship easy with no strings.
Love Under Protection is a sweet, sexy, and fun story. The friendships are real, and the feelings are realistic. I love this series and the fact that each book is a standalone book, the location is the common thread but the stories are all entirely their ow
This is the fourth book that I’ve read in this book series, the 425 Madison series and I always enjoy reading each and every one of them, all in there own right are fantastic.
Harley and Raylynn have never met before and are both there in Hawaii attending there friends wedding and they decided to leave early to have a few extra days relaxing because they needed it.
Harley works for the NYPD and it’s a very stressful job. Harley is a very sweet, caring, loving and protective man.
Raylynn has just caught her fiance cheating on her and had enough. While in Hawaii she decides that she’s going to have some fun of her own too.
These two meet in bar and there connection is instant but they both totally get more than they bargained for when they see each other again at the wedding.
(NO SPOILERS).
I really loved the characters especially Harley, I loved how sweet and protective he is and how he takes care of Raylynn. They both have alot of sexual chemistry and there attraction is of the scales.
This is a new to me author and I will be looking out for more of her work in the future.
I love the 425 Madison series but I honestly felt like this installment was a tad predictable and I sort of felt like I knew where the story was going to unfold. I always love books that have epilogue as I feel like this adds that something extra special to the story and seeing where everyone is now.
Thank you to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.
This book is expected to be released 23rd March 2020.
Harley is a cop and the best man at his friend’s wedding. Raylynn is getting over a bad relationship and needs to find herself again. This story is amacing to read and full of fun, banter and love. I loved reading this and just love this amazing series xx
This fling romance is an amazing addition to this series! AND…it even begins at a destination wedding in sunny Hawaii. A quick break from fast paced NYC was a great way to keep the pages turning for me!
Raylynn is the maid of honor and best friend of the bride, while Harley is the HOT cop best man and best friend of the groom. Both arrive in Hawaii a few days early to escape real life in hopes of having some no strings attached fun!!
Aubree Valentine has done an awesome job weaving this new tale with some beloved characters from the first season of 425 Madison series. The story is entertaining, sweet, and angsty. I loved the push and pull of ‘trying to keep it in the friend zone’ even though I couldn’t wait for the inevitable outcome. Harley is SWOON-WORTHY and you can’t help but root for Raylynn to overcome the shitty hand she’s been dealt.
Valentine dives under the skin and into the heart. Prepare to be swept away. Harley and Raylynn bring out the best in each other at the worst possible time. Raylynn thought that she was happy in her life, until betrayal leads her into treacherous territory. Harley is the hero she never hoped to find. Fearless and sexy make for an addictive combination. Could these passing acquaintances have stumbled onto forever or could their chance for a happy ending have come too late? Sexy with a twist of serious adds to the temptation.
I enjoyed this book. The story was fun and the characters likable. Raylynn and Harley made a cute couple that had great chemistry. This read offers a entertaining blend of emotion, tension, humor, drama, sweetness and excitement. This is another wonderful addition to this delightful series. I am posting an independent, impartial review.
GAH! I love this series!! Harley and Raylynn’s is the perfect fir for 425 Madison! Whew – their relationship starts off with a bang and watching them fall in love is the greatest! I loved this flirty, sweet and steamy story! Another Five Stars for the 425 Madison Series!

I just love this whole series, all the 425 Madison Avenue books. A good portion of this book takes place elsewhere. It starts with a destination wedding in Hawaii. (The wedding of Olivia and Jameson from Love Under Construction, book 6 of the series.) Raylynn is the maid of honor; Harley is the best man. Harley needs a distraction from a case he’s working (policeman), and Raylynn needs to let loose after a bad breakup and losing her job. They find what they need in each other. Some misunderstandings ensue, and Raylynn ends up friend zoning Harley – especially since she lives in Georgia. But once she’s home, Raylynn’s ex isn’t finished making her life miserable – he evicts her her apartment and badmouths her so she can no longer get a job. So off to New York she goes, to stay with Olivia and Jameson – right next door to Harley! Harley is happy to see Raylynn and proves to be a good friend, but the sparks are still flying. Add in that Raylynn’s ex is still causing problems and has followed her to the Big Apple, and this book has more than just emotional drama. Harley must protect the woman he loves, and finally get up the courage to let her know!
In a way, reading this book was liking visiting old friends while making new ones. It’s a great addition of the Madison Avenue series!
