Being a social worker for the state of Illinois’s Child Welfare division was never an easy job. Still, Briana Hayes hadn’t expected the job to be dangerous. After her roommate is killed and attempts are made on Briana’s life, she turns to the Brotherhood Protectors for help. Fresh off active duty, former Delta Force soldier, Rafe Donovan’s first assignment as a member of the Brotherhood … Brotherhood Protectors is to protect the sister of one of his new teammates. How difficult can that be for a man who has faced overwhelming odds on the battlefield on multiple occasions and lived to tell about it? Just because she’s hauntingly beautiful doesn’t mean he can’t maintain his distance and perspective. Being confined alone with her in a mountain lodge will sorely test this confirmed bachelor’s resistance.
When the threat steals Briana away, Rafe comes to realize how much the social worker means to him. He’ll do anything to get her back safely including calling on his old team in the Delta Force to travel to the jungles of El Salvador to bring her back alive. After a daring rescue and being separated from his team, Rafe and Briana race against time to get to a small child before her mafia father disappears with her forever.

I received a free copy of the steamy military-based novel Delta Force Rescue: A Brotherhood Protector Series Novel: Book 15 by Elle James and this review was given freely.
Drama-filled and action-packed with vivid descriptions and a fair amount of violence, this is a tribute novel for those who fight for freedom and safety both for our country and those who live in it. Highlights the caring nature, emotional exhaustion, and physical danger that can come with being a city social worker. After helping a homeless mother and her baby girl, Child Welfare Officer for the state of Illinois Briana Hayes finds her roommate dead, herself the target of a drug cartel, involved with her brother’s former delta Teammate Rafe Donovan and the owner of a dog.
Briana Hayes is a caregiver and a rescuer of abused women and children. But, she is the one who needs recuing when she runs afoul of the head of a drug cartel. Rafe Donavan left Delta Force, although a bit reluctantly, because it was the right time. He misses his Delta team but needs some peace more. He wasn’t looking for love but it found him. When it comes time Rafe calls upon his new Protectors team as well as his Delta brothers to help him save his woman.
The Brotherhood Protection series just keeps getting better and better! Rafe and Briana‘s story was so good! When Briana finds a woman hiding with her child, she has to help her. Little does she know that the cartel is looking for her and will stop at nothing to get her back. Race’s first job for Brotherhood Protection is to keep Briana safe for his friend, who just happens to be Briana’s brother. You will love this book!
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Delta Force Rescue is book 15 in the continuing series of Brotherhood Protectors series by Elle James and as usual another good book!
Rafe Donovan just recently retired from Delta Force duty and is on his way to see Hank Patterson, his new boss at Brotherhood Protectors HQ when he receives a call from one of his former teammates to protect his sister, Briana Hayes. He also gets the same call from Hank…what he doesn’t expect is his bachelor status to be tested…will he keep the bachelor status or find the Briana is the missing piece to a better life?
Rafe is determined to protect Briana but when she is taken to El Salvador he calls upon his former Delta team and the Brotherhood to make a daring rescue!
For honest review. Briana Hayes works as a child welfare officer in Illinois when she helps alejander and her daughter hide from el chefe Diablo from el Salvador and finds she need help now . This was a 10 star story awesome . Loved rafe Donovan from the brotherhood protectors security service .
Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!
Extremely entertaining, captivating and interesting sexy read. I could not put it down. Wonderfully written with strong, intriguing characters. I want to read more from this author.
I thought that this was a very enjoyable read. This book provides a wonderful combination of drama, emotion, danger, action, excitement and romance. Briana and Rafe were likable and easy to root for. Both of these characters were strong in their own right but they still fit together seamlessly as a couple. The story was engaging and has you eager to see what will happen next. It had me reading past my bedtime but the next morning’s grogginess was well worth it. I am posting a volitional, forthright review.
Elle did another great job with The Brotherhood Protectors when Rafe Donavon was sent out on his first mission. His first miss was to protect a Child Service Protector Worker but also was a Delta Forces buddies sister. He got the call from Ryan Haynes that his sister need protection and she was his only sister and he trusted him with her life. Being Delta Force Brother he took this mission very serious and being the first he didn’t want to mess it up. So he got her number called Briana and her talked to her and kept in contacted with her until he could get to her. He asked her where she was and she told him heading out of Chicago. So they talked the whole way. Till he could get to her and meet a safe place. The safe place was a hotel and he called and booked a room for the night. When they arrived there and got into the room she broke down over the death for her best friend. He went to go move his truck and her car for the night. Then next morning was a different story when they had realize they had been found and helped a dog from getting hit. When the SUV finally left they got loaded into his truck and headed in a different direction. Heading to Montana. They got to Hank Patterson and settled and is when she learned to shoot and things turned out different.
I like the description of how Elle does this book and how she tells each part of it . She use fabulous emotion and it makes me feel like I was right there with Briana and Rafe the whole story.
This is a great addition to the Brotherhood Protectors series. Briana and Rafe are electric together. Add a lonely dog looking for love, a crazed cartel boss kidnapping, murders all rolled into an edge of your seat action drama

Delta Force Rescue is the 15th book in the Brotherhood Protectors series. It was another fast-paced, suspenseful read with wonderful characters. From the beginning until the end I couldn’t put this riveting read down. I also loved catching up with some of the characters from the previous books. I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series.
This may be my favorite read by this author !! Rafe is a new member of the Brotherhood Protector and his first assignment is keeping Briana safe. Briana is the sister of one of Rafe’s “brothers” and the two meet when Briana calls her brother for help when she helps a mother and her baby find safety in a shelter and her brother enlists Rafe to assist. She’s on the run and the two are many miles apart, as the two drive to meet in person, they pass the hours by talking on the phone while driving, both eager to get to each other before a ruthless crime boss catches up to her.
An amazing read with steam, attraction, suspense, some action and great characters. I loved these two and how easily they meshed, with no drama between them. I loved the reappearance of the Brotherhood Protectors past characters and how they all got involved to rescue Briana. The story flowed beautifully, the story kept me flipping the pages, the characters were great and I LOVED the epilogue.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
I love this series. Hot alpha men and badass women, who wouldn’t. The Brotherhood Protectors hire retired military. Though at times it seems like they are still in the military.
Briana is a Child Welfare Officer which she enjoys most days. Today is not one of them. After helping a woman and her baby, someone is after her and they won’t stop until she is dead.
Rafe is retired from Delta Force. Now he works for Hank, who owns The Brotherhood Protectors agency. He has been assigned to guard Briana, who happens to be a former teammates sister. But what happens if he fails?
Delta Force Rescue by Elle James
15th book in the Brotherhood Protectors series. Can be read as a stand-alone. Contemporary romantic suspense.
Non stop action, danger, and military elite to the rescue.
A fast read that’s full of suspense and romance.
The epilogue has visitor couples from all the previous books by this author which was fun.
So I have a question on traceability of cell phones. I get being able to track by a cell phone signal that’s on or in use. But can a phone be tracked if it’s turned off totally? Early on, the heroine is forced to toss her cell phone. Wouldn’t turning it off work? Mobile phones are expensive these days. Often over $1,000. I think I’d protest having to throw my phone out a window. Sure, we are being chased by killers, but I have to wonder – can they still track the phone if it’s off? I’d be lost without my phone or iPad. Not just physically but mentally as well. I guess I’m glad I live a more sedate life in Chicago as opposed to these couples in Montana.
This book was action packed, fast paced and full of danger. I liked the connection between Rafe and Briana they hit it off from the beginning and the way their relationship grew. We have the cartel and Rafe’s old Delta team. We get to see so many of the guys from the brotherhood which is always nice. This book kept me up till the wee hours of the morning i had to see how it ended.
Briana’s job is to help and protect children. So when she hears sobbing and a baby’s cry coming from an alley she stops to help. Little did she know just how much trouble she would be facing by helping this woman and child. Rafe has just left the Army and is a new recruit with The Brotherhood Protectors. His first assignment is keeping Brianna safe While the El Salvadorian El Jefe Diablo is searching for her. Together they will be fighting for their lives and the lives of the woman and child Briana helped. A great read in the romantic suspense genre.
This is the 15th book in the Brotherhood Protectors series by Elle James, and I’m just as excited by it as I was the 1st – 14th! I absolutely love this series. Briana Hayes is a Social Worker who finds trouble helping a woman and her baby. She calls her brother, a Delta Force soldier who gets in touch with the Brotherhood Protectors. Rafe Donavan contacts her on orders from his boss, Hank Patterson who is head is the Brotherhood Protectors. Rafe, a former Delta teammate of Briana’s brother, takes on the assignment and connects with Brianna not only to protect her, but they also start to fall for each other while facing danger. Elle has a brilliant talent for writing these books so that there is just the right amount of romance, humor, banter, excitement and action. Definite must read.
As a long-time Brotherhood Protectors fan, I rejoiced at how many of the characters were involved in this story, but the story itself, if you have never read one in this series before, will hook you in with no need of prior knowledge. There were just enough surprises to keep me engaged, the heat between Briana and Rafe is perfect, and the story never resorts to gruesome horror for the sake of it. Briana is one of my favorite female characters in this series; she is smart, sensible, and realistic, and Rafe’s connection with her evolves believably (within the parameters of a story!). And the epilogue just made me smile.
I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.
Delta Force Rescue is a fast paced, action packed, suspenseful romance. Briana and Rafe are instantly attracted to each other the moment they meet and have one wild ride of a romance. Love the Brotherhood Protectors! Looking forward to more books!
