Some things just can’t be ignored…and an attraction this powerful is one of them.Bodyguard and special intelligence mastermind Bodhi North has been called a lot of things—pretty-boy, surfer dude and even hippie, but he considers himself more of a tech nerd than anything else. Sure, he can protect and save like the best in The Guard, but the missions affect him far too much for his peace of mind … his peace of mind and he prefers to hide behind his screen. But when his boss gives him an ultimatum, North doesn’t take the easy way out.
After actor Sloane Sailor lands a controversial movie role, she never thought it would throw her into the running for an Oscar—or into the line of danger. It seems the spotlight of her movie also earned her a target on her back, and now she’s dodging a lot of hate. And who knew her new bodyguard would be so big, strong, hot AND smart too? It’s a little hard to keep her mind on the fact she’s in trouble, when North keeps distracting her with that little crease he gets between his eyes when he concentrates.
North never expects a mission to be simple, but learning that the alluring and intelligent Sloane has a foot in two piles of trouble couldn’t shock him more. Now it seems he’s saving her from a stalker as well as aiding in a search involving her lost sister. While Sloane battles a steamy attraction unlike anything she’s ever felt before, she can’t figure out which danger to fear more. But in the arms of her protector, she can hardly think of a better place to hide.

Love the ideal of The Guard series! “His To Protect” is the third book in the series, featuring Bodhi North, a brother in this elite covert group, and Sloane Sailor, actress with a cause herself, which throws a whole new monkey wrench into the works. No weaklings here at all!
Interesting concept here, with a mob mentality to a movie Sloane starred in, people were walking off their jobs and protesting several big industry giants to make a safer workplace. Meanwhile, Sloane is on a mission of her own and of course Bodhi just falls harder for the movie star, his ward, which goes against the oath he made to be a brother of The Guard, and he’s ready to chuck it all. That is, if they don’t get killed first. Madeline, a sister of The Guard, plays a big part in here, and I am anxious to read her story, cause she’s like a total bada**!
A good read with heat, suspense and action. A few bits were predictable and a little too pat, but that all leads to a Happy Ending!
This book is amazing! You have a hot nerdy bodyguard and an actress. Bodhi North is a valued member of the tech crew but also bodyguard for The Guard. He is ready to take his first assignment since being injured months ago. Sloane, an actress featured in action/adventure flicks is put in danger after her latest movie puts a focus on the oil industry. She also has a secret life personally rescuing child brides from their abusers while searching for her sister who was sold by their father. Bodhi and Sloane have an instant attraction and it grows as they move around trying to keep her safe and find Sloane’s sister. This book is action packed, suspenseful and steamy hot.
Having been working from the Church while recovering from his injuries, Bodhi sees the opportunity to protect Sloane as his chance to get back to the field. Only things do not exactly work out the way he thought and Bodhi is completely blindsided by his feelings for Sloane. Sparks fly as they run from danger and from their feelings for each other. Wonderful story to read.
I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Em gives us another great addition to The Guard series. Bodhi and Sloane are so much more than their images let on. He has been assigned to Sloane’s case after recovering from his last mission. He a computer expert who feels he needs to prove himself and she is an actress with an agenda. Sloane has some bad people after her and is up to Bodhi to keep her safe. There is a lot of suspense, drama, twists and turns in this book. The characters are all well written and draw you in. I really enjoyed their story and look forward to the next book. The Guard series just keeps getting better

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. Another mission filled with action to keep your interest from page one. This one about Bodhi and Sloane and the dangers Bodhi keeps Sloane safe from. A great series and all are standalone reads.
Bodhi is sent to protect Sloane Sailor, an actor, because of a controversial movie she starred in. Once he starts protecting her, he finds there’s more to her then he thought. I really enjoyed this book. The more I read by this author the more I get hooked.
Wow, what a page turner! There is nothing about hot and sexy Bodhi that says nerd. He may sit behind a computer, but on the front line, Bodhi is someone you don’t want to mess with. Going on a protection detail, Bodhi and Sloane’s story takes off at a pace that makes their story fast and furious, as well as one hot read. With all the action and suspense, as well as the romance that develops between them, Em Petrova has given her readers another can’t miss story in The Guard Series. Read as a standalone, it is always great to see the involvement of others from previous stories. **I was gifted “His To Protect” via Booksprout and leave my review voluntarily based on my reading** 5 Stars!
Story line is great and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Unexpected twists and turns had me reading this book in one sitting. Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!
She is on a secret quest and he guards her as trouble comes for her
His to Protect is the third book in The Guard series ans is the story of Bodhi North and Sloane Sailor. Just from the names you know their story is going to be hot. Then add into the mix that North is a super intelligent, a tech wiz, has skills to kill, is built, handsome and has a smirking smile and you just start swooning and keep on as you read. But Sloane is no slouch either as she is talented, intelligent, beautiful and is in all kinds of trouble.
This is a well written book with an entertaining and action filled story. While North is guarding Sloane from the trouble that is threatening her he is also guarding her body in other ways. Along the way he also discovers Sloane’s secrets and helps her in her quest.
This is the 3rd book in The Guard series by Em Petrova and I have not yet read the first two books but I certainly will. This books is about Bodhi North’s story. Body is basically a self proclaimed “nerd” of the group because of his skills on the computer and with maps. His talent is finding anyone, anywhere. Body was injured on his last mission, and has been recovering. Sloane Sailor, is a Hollywood actress and her life is threatened,. Body jumps at the chance to get back into action and be her bodyguard. Sloane has a big secret. She has been saving young girls who are forced and/sold into marriage. These are teenage girls. She makes sure they get the help they need to live normal lives. Ever since her father sold her younger sister, she has been trying to find her. Captivating and well done

You feel for Bohdi as you can see his accident had a real impact on so when Sloane’s case comes into The Guard he wants it, not just to prove he can still be an active Guard in the field but he had watched her movies while recuperating. Sloane is not some ditzy actress and I loved her from the get go as she is fearless in what she does outside of the movies but lordy has she torn of more can she chew with her her latest movie and she needs help but it’s a lot for her to be vulnerable to anyone. You get sucked into Sloane’s world and feel torn about what she wants to do and the danger as well as who is actually after her then the sparks between her and Bohdi (fans face) yeah this is a great read that keeps you turning the page and on the edge of your seat not knowing if they will get caught, if Sloane will find who she is after and if she and Bohdi can see their worth and that they have a lot to offer!!!

Sloane & Bodhi 5 stars – Sloane is a Hollywood female action star by day and an abuse victim rescuer by night. Bodhi was sidelined by an injury from the physical duties of being a member of The Guard. Sloane is Bodhi’s ward on his first case back. Too bad his heart didn’t get the memo that he’s not supposed to get too attached to Sloane. But who wouldn’t, her movies are a hit and she’s a real life heroine. I really like Sloane’s character. There are some steamy scenes, some action scenes and a bit of suspense. This is one of the more exciting books I’ve read from this series. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

Bodhi North has been given a job with Sloane Sailor that is eclipsed by the danger following her and awakening feelings for each other. This is part of the Guard series that I am enjoying thoroughly.

This is the 1st book from Em Petrova that I have read and it certainly won’t be the last. Ms. Petrova writes a story line that draws you in the keeps you reading to the end. She creates a world that you love and characters that are so delightful that you can’t help cheer for their happily ever after. This is the 3rd book in the Guard series and fantastic. Bodhi and Sloane’s story is one of survival and doing what must be done to ensure that and you might just find love along the way. This story has everything that you could want in a book; comedy, action, drama, adventure, intrigue as well as hot romance. You really don’t want to miss it!
