What an amazing book. I started reading it and literally did not stop until I was done.
With engaging characters, interesting storyline, humor, danger, intrigue, and smexy-times, this book held my attention from start to finish. I definitely recommend it.
I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or remuneration
This book is truly fantastic…I love every about it. It’s sweet and OMG IS IT SEXY!
Kane and AJ really sizzle together. Kane and the rest of the Night Storm Seal team are on the hunt for a possible terrorist plot. Which leads them to AJ a producer of the music show in Oman. One look at AJ and Kane is a goner. She’s sassy, smart and captures Kane’s heart pretty quickly.
AJ wasn’t looking for love. Kane is one hot, sexy, Seal that she just can’t resist.
I loved the fun banter between Kane and AJ. The name AJ, what could it mean? I couldn’t wait to see what name Kane came up with next. The ending is so beautiful! It’s one of my favorite books from Caitlyn!
“I voluntarily received this arc book from an honest review”
Her Ruthless Protector by Caitlyn O’Leary is an awesome read. This is the first book in the Night Storm series. This book had me laughing, crying, angry, wanting to hurt someone, rooting for the good guys and jeering the bad guys. I had all the feels. This book has action, suspense, romance, revenge and more. The book is well written and has very likeable characters. I did not want to put the book down. I can’t wait for the next book by this amazing author. I highly recommend this book.
I just loved this book and its characters. This was such a wonderful read and an excellent start to this new series. Kade and A.J. are pure perfection together and they very quickly stole my heart. I loved their steamy chemistry and snappy banter. Kade is a totally swoon worthy SEAL with a tender heart and A.J. is more than a match for him with major doses of fierceness, smarts and her large and in charge attitude. Add in excitement, danger, action and plenty of humor and you have yourself a thrilling, heart melting romance, that will leave you eager for the next book.

Congratulations on a great new series Caitlyn! This is definitely a 5 star story, and I am looking forward to more!

I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
Another fantastic read. Loved the way Kane and A.J. interacted, especially when Kane was coming up with all these names trying to guess and anoy A.J. about what her initials stood for. There was a lot of action, bantor, loved the Black Dawn guys in this. O course there is a lot of heat and a hea. Can’t wait to read Liam’s story. Received this book free for an honest review.
Preventing Terrorist Attacks – While Finding Your “One”!!
A Navy Seal trying to prevent a terrorist attack. An executive producer trying to keep many acts under control and planning on 40,000 attendees. Each excels in their field. Each feels an attraction like none they have felt before.
Brilliant story of challenging careers and finding time to build a relationship. Danger, action, humor and romance combine to create an impeccable read!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
This story has captured my heart. I loved the connection between all of the characters. I loved that the story pulled me in and was so compelling for me that I did not put it down. I read it in one sitting. Who needs sleep? Navy Seal Kane McNamara didn’t really like his assignment until he met A.J. She is confident, sassy and takes no mess from the people she is in contact with. I was laughing at the banter between AJ and Kane’s team! I can not wait for more about these guys! It is a must have book! Check it out! Worth it!!!
Caitlyn O’Leary has done it again. Her Ruthless Protector is fabulous. It has romance, exciting suspense, sexy scenes, a great storyline, and lovable characters. Who doesn’t love a team of sexy Seals? A.J. And Kane’s story is a page turner, and the rest of the team is very entertaining. I can’t wait for the next book!
Fantastic!
Another fabulous story! There is so much to say about this brand-new series and the tough but entertaining new characters, but I don’t want to give the goods away!
This story is a little bit different in its locale, but it has all the nuts and bolts and some familiar characters we have come to love from this amazing author.
Set in Oman, this scenario is more diverse in its venues and high-profile dignitaries. Who knew such a small country could house such an enormous entertainment hub, an OPEC Summit filled with delegates, their own personal chefs, a French chef, no less, and a huge airport, all seemingly in the middle of no where AND ruled by a Sultan! Oh, baby!
Kane is a tough SEAL and a highly intelligent computer whiz, A.J. is a cat herder… and an executive producer of the musical talent show. Together, these two become combustible! We also still have that same old enemy al-Qaeda, but this branch is preying on the innocent in a different way. Kane and his team have their work cut out for them.
An exciting story filled with twists and turns taking you all over the country, acrobatics and egos, terrorists and, yes, ding dongs! I love this story! More please!
Caitlyn O’Leary creates families with her characters and readers, and, in this book, the Night Storm team is the focus, but the Black Dawn men are involved too, so there’s considerable revisiting of old friends. The story in this book covers so much – politics, intrigue, backstabbing divas, and a HEA for Kane. His character really develops through this story; he’s strong, determined, and most of all capable and competent. This book has nailbiting moments, moments of sheer terror, and seriously hot scenes with Kane and A.J. And wait till you read what her name actually is! As always, you don’t need to have read any other books to enjoy this one, but, for those of us familiar with the other characters, as I said earlier, it’s like coming home. This is a fantastic read.
Omg I absolutely loved this book! Caitlyn has done it again with another fantastic story. This book will keep you hooked from page one until the end and still wanting more from navy seal Kane McNamara and A.J. Lancaster. Kane is the big bad navy seal, but when he meets his match will A.J. crumble to the seal? This book was absolutely awesome and I found myself laughing at parts and near tears in another part and was filled with suspense and action packed and romance. Just loved it.
When it comes to military intrigue, page turning plots, and hot romance, Caitlyn O’Leary doesn’t disappoint. In Her Ruthless Protector, Ms. O’Leary weaves a tale of a dangerous mission in Oman with the Night Storm team of the Navy SEALs in command. The mission centers around a terrorist threat to 1 of 4 possible targets. One of the targets is a worldwide talent contest taking place in Oman and set to be televised to over 180 million people. It is here that our hero Kane McNamara meets spunky producer A.J.Lancaster. They are flirtatious with one another and have a great banter. Kane soon learns that A.J. is not only beautiful but she’s smart and great at putting out fires that happen with a production of this magnitude. All of this with a terrorist threat hanging over their heads. She earns his respect and his love. He in turn receives the same.
I really loved their story. I loved the mutual respect they had for one another and their quick wit. A.J. is truly one of my favorite female characters now. Nothing ruffles her feathers. She is tough when she needs to be and soft when someone needs a shoulder. When A.J. needs support, Kane is right there for her. I also enjoyed the playful thread of Kane trying to find out what A.J. stands for. No spoiler here. Read the book. It’s great!!
This book had a little bit of everything that I love. A crossover from Caitlyn’s other series, I always enjoy catching up with past loved characters. The sexy alpha male and kick ass female and OMG the banter back and forth. Fabulous. One of my favorite lines is “I’m doing my job wrong if you can use four letter words”. I laughed out loud. I enjoyed this book so much, I am now want to reread her other series
Written filled with adventure, drama, and cute flirty fun, Her Ruthless Protector is sure to satisfy!
I loved the way Kane and AJ connected and interacted, and seeing AJ through Kane’s eyes – that was a powerful thing to experience and let sink into me. I loved seeing how they could each hold their own, but yet, were amazing partners, both in the bedroom and out. AJ complimented Kane well with her backbone, her smarts, and her heart.
Seeing this is a military story as much as a romance story, bullets fly and bad guys abound everywhere, giving just the right amount of suspense and anxiety. Dealing with the enemy and the powers-that-be, and choosing what is right over what is ordered, and showing what having your brother’s back truly mean, the military story line packs a punch.
Mix together the twist and turns, tear-filled moments, steamy moments, and laughter-ringing times and you’ve got another awesome Caitlyn O’Leary story to escape into.
Another can’t put it down book by Caitlyn O’Leary. She brings you in and you can actually picture the comradery between the Team, the action, and the drama. A.J. is a kick-ass, smart, take no crap alpha woman and Kane is drawn to her like a moth to a flame. The story is awesome, suspense is compelling and the banter is comical. A definite 5 star read. I received this as an ARC and voluntarily give my review.
The beginning of this series starts with a bang. We get to visit with some of the characters from previous series, who come to work on the mission in Oman.
Navy SEAL Kane McNamara and executive producer A.J. Lancaster meet when the military figures out that there is a potential terrorist attack in one of four locations. One being at the international music show where A.J. is the one in charge.
It was a story filled with non-stop action, camaraderie amongst Kane’s fellow SEALs, and of course, romance. An engaging plot with a strong female character that you will come to love.
A good start for this series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Fantastic, action-packed romance!
Kane meets A.J. when he explains that the talent contest she’s in charge of is a likely terrorist target. As they work together to secure the event, their growing admiration and respect for each other becomes so much more. There’s a lot of humor in this story, especially concerning Kane’s attempts to discern what “A.J.” stands for, and a full cast of well-developed secondary characters. The focus is on the action scenes as we get a first-hand look at the dangerous missions that SEAL teams routinely accomplish.
Kane and A.J. are written as complex, unique characters. Kane has an unusual background for a SEAL, one that makes him extremely qualified for his job while revealing his compassionate heart and steadfast integrity. A.J. is a strong, independent woman who isn’t afraid to stand up to, and stand by, her man. I really enjoyed the way these two were stronger together, without relying on the standard damsel-in-distress trope.
As the first in a new SEAL team series, we get a wonderful introduction to this team’s members while also getting to spend time with a few familiar faces from the Midnight Delta and Black Dawn teams, who are on hand to help. This author is one of the best at writing military romances, and this book is a superb example. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Another great story with lots of action and some steam with plenty of romance. Kane was a fun character and I loved his interaction with AJ who was a producer of a group of performers who are competing and is a possible target of terrorist. AJ herself was a strong character who was at times funny and I enjoyed her character. Lots of twist and the secondary characters all are well developed and enjoyable. Love these SEALS!
