Right from the beginning of this book, you are thrown into the action that Kane and his team are assigned. Those terrorists better watch out, cause our SEALs are on their trail.
When Kane meets A.J., you can feel the chemistry between them. A.J. is my type of gal, she does what she needs to do to get the job done, no one can stand in her way or she’ll plow them down. It takes all of what Kane can do to get her out of harms way.
I won’t get too much into the rest of the storyline as I feel I’d there’s be spoilers. But I totally enjoyed this story. It has all the suspense and action I love from Caitlyn’s stories. It has all the flirting between Kane and A.J. and of course once they give in to their passion, all the passion between them. You will also enjoy seeing some of the characters from other Caitlyn books, I love that, all their banter, you’ll get a good chuckle. . One last thing, I love what A.J. stands for, I never in a million years would have guessed it!
I liked this book so much. I loved the chemistry and the characters. Each book gets better and better with this author. Great writing and suspense.
This book is non stop action and adventure. I love the chemistry between these two. Alot can be said for the non stop action but when you get to their attraction its off the charts. great read.
Her Ruthless Protector
Night Storm, Book 1
By: Caitlyn O’Leary – Author
Narrated by: Ryan West, Savannah Richards
Romantic suspense is my favorite sub-genre and this is exactly what I love! My first book by Caitlyn O’Leary, I am hooked and can’t wait for more. Her Ruthless Protector is action packed, full of steam and kept me on the edge the entire time. Kane McNamara and his team are set to guard the International Music Show. Maybe this is what grabbed me as I love America’s Got Talent! When Kane meets coordinator AJ Lancaster, he may have finally met the woman of his dreams. Not only is she beautiful, but feisty. When it’s clear the Al-Qaeda’s next target is this show, things get crazy. Will they make it out alive? This book is fast paced and the story is amazing. With the chemistry between Kane and AJ, their budding relationship is set to ignite. Kane is not only alpha protective, but he knows what he wants. Love a man like that. AJ is incredible, with her ability to organize, her spunk and her bravery, it’s impossible not to fall for this heroine. I loved every minute of this book and can’t wait for more of the series. The team team is going to prove to be very entertaining!
Narrated by Ryan West and Savannah Richards it’s like a movie flowing in your mind. West is perfect for the alpha male, Kane. He has a raspiness that sets him as commanding in the field and sexy with his woman. He adds the Irish brogue with ease for other characters. Richards is one of my favorites. She can hone in on a character and find all the nuances to make her come to life. This team is perfection.

Kane is a SEAL on a mission, and AJ just happens to be mostly in charge of the area where he is assigned. I love how awesome she is! I also really appreciated that with all his skills he still worked to guess her real name. That was awesome!! I can’t wait to see what is up with Liam and for Cullen to find a woman of his own.
Amazing read!!
This one has it all!! Drama, intrigue, a lot of flirting and danger.
Kane has met his match with A.J. She definitely keeps him on his toes while trying to track down the terrorists. Absolutely loved it!!!
Just what every SEAL needs to keep him in his place..a sassy, feisty, independent woman. AJ was just the woman for Kane. The plot is set at Eurovision…that’s enough to make me cringe, but Caitlyn gives us an action packed read full of fun banter. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is the first book in a new Seal series from the very talented Caitlyn O’Leary and has she is the queen of this genre you knew before you even started that it would be a thrill a minute ride and she didn’t disappoint
This is the first book for the Night Storm team and it revolves around Kane McNamara he has been sent to one of four targets that need protection in Oman and he happens to get to protect the Eurovision finals something he has never even heard of. They will get no support from the Oman government as they believe that the Americans are siding with outside government due to a m ole in their own government There he meets A.J.Lancaster the producer who has her finger on every pulse in this massive production. The attraction between them is immediate and the flirtation sets the pages alight. but as danger comes ever closer will he be able to keep the woman he is growing to love safe As the men of his team and Black Dawn rally to keep everyone safe He will have to fight for his love and also convince her that he is worth the effort.
I want a Kane in my life. He was so dreamy and ……..sigh. Yep he maybe my next book boyfriend. I loved AJ as the lead in this story. She was sassy, smart, witty and loved her job. AJ is in charge, or at least one of the people in charge of making the Eurovision Song Contest happen in Oman. Kane and his team are there because they think that something is going to happen to one of four things happening at the same time. Between starting a relationship, Divas and flirty men they have to find out what’s going to happen and when I loved the two main characters as they had the right chemistry and sparked off one another. Mind you Asher is a close second. His love and knowledge of the contest had me giggling. I can’t wait for the next read in this new series
I received an ARC copy of this book and I chose to review it. I loved it. It is well written and the characters are wonderful. I am a big fan of Caitlyn O’Leary. I know when I see her name on a book I know I have a great story coming. I loved the secondary characters, I can’t wait to see who is getting his story next. I encourage everyone to get this book it is worth your time and effort.
The Night Storm Series is a kind of continuation of the Black Dawn Series, in the terms of they are both SEAL teams and they tend to intertwine at times.
In this first book we see both teams as they rush to beat the clock to prevent a major terrorist attack. Problem is they’ve found there are four potential targets all of international importance.
The Night Storm team is front and center in this book as we get to know the team members. First up is Kane, he is the computer and electronics guy. He also was at one point CEO of his own Tech company, gotta love tech geniuses.
One of possible targets is the Eurovision Song Contest, an international venue with millions of viewers world wide. The event being held in Oman will have the televised semi finals and the Grand Finale live. Anticipated attendance for the live event in the thousands.
It’s at this venue that Kane meets AJ, one of the executive producers who handles all the behind the scenes activity.
This is just the beginning as time starts running out. Black Dawn heads one way, Night Storm another as this heats up.
Then of course there’s Kane and A.J. I really got a kick out of him trying to guess her full name. These two are great together.
Fast-paced with plenty of action, suspense, romance and so much more!
I loved this new start to a new series by Caitlyn O’Leary. I loved Kane teasing and trying to guess AJ’s name. Looking forward to the next book.
A BRAND NEW EXHILARATING ROMANTIC SUSPENSE FROM CAITLYN O’LEARY! Her Ruthless Protector is the first book in Caitlyn’s Night Storm series and it was guns blazing spectacular with edge of your seat suspense and heart soaring romance!
A.J. and Kane have explosive chemistry and their romance had my mouth watering, my heart melting and I found myself sighing out loud. This book was jam packed with intense, scary, dangerous action and incredible heart pounding suspense. The plot was juicy and perfect and the romance was utter perfection. I am LOVING this new Sight Storm series and can’t wait for book 2!
Her Ruthless Protector gets a ADRENALINE INDUCING FIVE ACTION PACKED STARS!
This is the first book of a new series for author Caitlyn O’Leary but there are several characters from the Black Dawn series that you get to catch-up on. You don’t need to have read the books in that series enjoy this book, but if you are a longtime fan it is a nice bonus. I had the chance to read this book as an ARC and jumped at the opportunity. I am providing a voluntary honest review for the ARC. I really enjoyed this book and strongly recommend it. The story is has great depth and a well plotted storyline. While it is a wonderful love story, it is also thrilling, action packed adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I think A.J. might be one of my favorite female characters. She is strong, outstanding at her job, sexy, and a total smartass. She verbally tangles with Kane and his teammates and more often than not she takes them to the mat. Her character is complex and has flaws, but she isn’t foolhardy or unreasonably combative – she just stands up for herself when needed. Kane is also a great character, he is alpha and confident, but he listens to A.J. and others – he wants to protect her, but let’s her lead in the areas where she is the expert. Because this is a new series and because of the nature of the story, there is a lot of information provided in the early chapters that is essential to the suspense and plot development. This story really sucked me in – I was reading as fast as I could turn the pages and it was hard to put it down. The characters were so well drawn that I want to know what happens next for them and they would be high on my list of characters with whom I would want to have dinner or drinks.
The sexy banter was off the charts in this book!! I loved these two characters together!
This book was amazing. It had the suspense of a military operation, the craziness of a behind the scenes talent competition and two individuals who were so into each other they burned up the pages.
A.J. is a force to be reckoned with. She can seem to pull things together like no ones business. She is amazing at her job. From whinny talent, to the press and to having to answer to her boss, she juggles everything beautifully. And when things can’t get more stressful they become a possible target for terrorists. However, this does put her in the path of Kane.
Kane is one fine man!!! Not only is he amazing at his job, but he can charm the pants off of a lady. I loved reading about him getting jealous of his teammates when they flirted with A.J. just to get a rise out of him.
The suspense in the book was off the charts. Even while you were reading a funny or sexy part, the bad guys were close by and you as a reader knew it. This is a “have you on the edge of your seat” type of book. I couldn’t put it down.
This is book 1 in the Night Storm series and in it we meet the team members that are loosely affiliated with this author’s other series of books. This one is about Kane McNamara and A.J. Lancaster. Kane and his team have been given 4 different potential targets of a terrorist attack in Oman and he has been assigned to the International Music Show to see if this could be the target that has been mentioned. There he meet’s A.J. and his life changes forever. A.J. is a producer for the show and doesn’t have time to deal with a military team or the potential threat. But the more time she spends with him, the more she truly likes him and understands why he does what he does. But when the worst happens, can Kane keep A.J. safe? And when it is all said and done, do they have a chance to make their relationship more than just a passing fling?
I absolutely loved this one! A.J. had me laughing from the beginning with her snarky comments and just the things that come out of her mouth. Kane is this big, strong, alpha male who normally wouldn’t take anything from anyone. But she manages to put him in his place and have him laughing about it. And the chemistry between the two of them was great right from the start! Throw in the side characters and I couldn’t put it down. Now I have to impatiently wait for the next book since I really loved the side characters!
Kane and his SEAL team, those not recovering from wounds from their last mission–or more correctly the first part of their mission, needed intel to prevent a huge terrorist attack. Kane’s assignment was an international Talent Contest finals, one of four possible locations. The one good thing about the monumental task was his liaison with the show, producer A J Lancaster. A woman of strength, humor, the ability to “herd cats” better than anyone he knew. Not to mention she was hot.
A J didn’t have time for a man not that there were many she’d want to waste time with–until the steamy SEAL showed up. He didn’t diminish her because she was a woman. He listened to and even used some of her ideas. He and his team were real men and professional who could make her laugh and challenged her.
There wasn’t much chance to spend alone time. They were potentially responsible for thousands of people not to mention international political issues. The little time they were able to steal began as banter, a little flirting, and sneaking snack food. They were funny as were his teammates. Their ability to flirt, tease, and rib those around them while in dire situations makes the situation more bearable.
I loved the SEAL team and the length to what they go through to do their job whether approved or not makes the reader proud of them. While the guys refer to wives and families as well as team members not on this op this is a stand-alone and there isn’t a need to read the whole series. Of course, fans won’t want to miss them.
This one is filled with action, humor, steam, a believable relationship-building to a HEA. I couldn’t put it down from page one until THE END
Fab new series to get stuck into!
Kane and his Night Storm team members got a bit battered on their last mission. But when Intel surfaces that one of the major events being held in Oman is being targeted by terrorists, they’re back in the saddle and riding to the rescue.
Kane is a bit gobsmacked at his assignment. What the hell is the Eurovision and why is Asher so goddamn happy about it?!?!? When he meets the liaison, AJ, though the assignment starts to brighten up. She is stunning, super capable, funny and has mind like a steel trap. She also genuinely cares for those she looks after.
A J was quite happy floating from one job to another, they finances her seeing the world after all. Kane, however, gets all her girly bits clamouring for attention. He sees her as a capable person, not just as a capable WOMAN. He isn’t intimidated by her but he still wants to protect her, not because she can’t take care of herself but because she is very suddenly very important to him.
They don’t exactly have a lot of time together alone, especially in the Middle East where it would be frowned upon. What time they do get though they spend wisely. They really bond over hidden snacks and liquor! I also loved the way that Kane’s teammates took gret joy in ribbing him and AJ and flirting with her outrageously!
This team will go against orders if they think it’s the right thing to do – my kind of heroes!
Great read, fab characters, snarky dialogue – what’s not to love!
Her Ruthless Protector definitely highlights the growth of the author and the detail Caitlyn O’Leary puts into the background of her books. I highly recommend ensuring that you have no distractions when you start this novel, as the first 40% is information overload and you’ll certainly feel like you’ve missed something if you allow interruptions early on.
I’m not sure what I expected from Kane’s story, but I’m really never sure where the author will lead her alphas to find their special one, so Eurovision was definitely not on my radar! It did take me longer than usual to warm to this story, as I felt there was too much going on. That said, once I passed the half way mark, it was total absorption as with the previous stories in the series, and I couldn’t put the book down.
Did I love this book? Not the beginning, as it boarded on confusing; but there’s no denying the quality of the writing, the depth of research by the author and the strength and fortitude of the character roles. Overall, it’s a solid story and sets the tone for the next in the series. I’m very excited for Liam’s book and an avid fan of the series as a whole.
