Harley
My best friend asked me to be his best man at his destination wedding.
With a demanding and stressful job with NYPD, life for me was all work and no play, but a week-long trip to Hawaii to celebrate Jameson’s nuptials sounds like the perfect excuse to get away.
Leaving work behind wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, though.
That was until she walked up to me at the bar.
After a … up to me at the bar.
After a night of unbridled passion, I discover…she’s the maid of honor in Jameson’s wedding.

With nothing to lose, I approach the hottest guy in that bar and take a chance on getting my own groove back.
There’s just one hiccup…he’s actually the best man in Liv’s wedding.
It was only supposed to be a fling, but when returning home leads to chaos and one relocation to New York, can these two love birds go from fling to forever? Time will tell.
Afterall…425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.

The storyline was well written and the characters were so well defined that as each and every page was turned I felt like Harley and Raylynn pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
Fun, fast passed storyline with a bold, sassy woman and a strong, protective man. They set of sparks from the get go and the steam stays in throughout the entire book
I could read Madison 425 stories everyday. They are fun and fresh some are innocent and some are steamy.
Love Under Protection is Harley and Raylynns story. It begins at a destination wedding. What is supposed to be a random one night hook up turns into so much more.
I loved the story and all the twists and turns it takes.
This was a cute story, I love how they both needed a vacation and met. I enjoyed meeting the fellow characters from previous books and just love how they all come together. This is such an amazing series.
I’m really loving the 425 Madison series and am starting to learn to identify the characters as they are making their cameos. Harley and Raylynn’s first meeting started off on a moment where they just needed to let go and enjoy each other. And then it kinda went downhill. The push and pull between the two was fun, and Harley really showed his need to be of help. I maybe swooned a little. There was a whole lot of tension, but in different ways. There was a little suspense too. This book had so much going on to keep you entertained.
Excellent!! Enjoyed the latest in the 425 Madison Avenue series about Raylynn and Harley. Do they eventually find their HEA?! Enjoy!!!
I read an arc copy of this.
Harley is in Hawaii for his best friend’s wedding. He meets Raylynn at a bar one night and they end up having a hot night of sex. Raylynn arrived in Hawaii after catching her ex fiance in bed with someone else. She quit the job as her ex was her boss. She is to be the bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding. Harley and Raylynn are surprised to meet at the wedding. The attraction between them is still hot and they decide to see where it takes them. A good contemporary romantic read.
Book fifteen in the 425 Madison Avenue series a well written story by an Author I have not read before. This is Harley a cop with NYPD and Raylynn, they meet when their best friend’s Jameson and Olivia are getting married in Hawaii. There is suspense, drama, danger, a very nasty ex, shooting, and romance. I will be reading more in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Another perfect book in an amazing series! Still getting to see the other characters from other books makes me smile so much and fall more deeply for this group of friends!!
I wasn’t sure how much of the beach fling I would enjoy but oh my goodness I swooned! So many aspects of Harley you don’t realize until he steps up to the challenge! I think I fell for him faster than most characters. He seems to truly believe his job is to make sure Raylynn is happy and safe. Getting back to real life had me confused on how things would progress but I quickly learned of this talented authors plan. A plan I really believed I knew the ins and outs to the typical love story but holy goodness did that slap come out of no where!
I feel like after I read each couple they are my current favorite and while that may be true this couple is freaking awesome! I wish I had more of them and oh goodness do I hope we see more in other books!!!
really loving the 425 Madison Series.. it’s a standalone book but as you read it you come across characters from the other books, so the stories intermingle. The story is great, just carrys you along, loved the ending.
Loving the books and can’t wait for the next book. A must read….
I absolutely loved this addition to the 425 Madison series! Love Under Protection has chemistry and romance, but also plenty of conflict and suspense. Trying not to give spoilers, one of the things I loved and that made it so real for me was Harley’s reaction when he sees Raylynn again. It wasn’t this fairy tale romance but real reflection and it took some time for things to get back on track for them. Actually, there were numerous relatable and realistic moments throughout this book that made me enjoy it all the much more.
Harley and Raylynn absolutely sizzle together while also forming a strong friendship. I highly recommend this one to fans of contemporary romance, especially those that love romance with obstacles and suspense. Although I always recommend reading the entire series, this can easily be enjoyed on its own if you are new to 425 Madison.

Love Under Protection is another great addition to the 425 Madison series. So far this is only the 2nd book I have read by this author, the first being Love Under Construction but I look to remedy that soon. I would like to note this story stands perfectly fine on its own and while characters from the aforementioned story do make an appearance, you will follow along just fine even if you haven’t read it.
The connection between Harley and Raylynn sizzled right from the start. A touch of drama and dash of suspense added to the mix makes for an excellent story that has found its way onto my favorites list.
It’s two nights before Liv and Jamison’s wedding and the best man and maid of honour meet and end up spending the night together, not knowing who the other one is, until the rehearsal meal!
Raylynn and Harley know this is just a fling, and they enjoy themselves and each other until they say goodbye at the airport!
A month passes and things are not looking good for Raylynn, her ex fiancé who also happens to be her now ex boss is making her life hell, so she takes up Liv’s offer and moves to New York, to 425 Madison, with Liv and her new husband!
Raylynn and Harley meet up again and although they say just friends the secret forces that are at 425 have other ideas!
A great book with a HEA, although there are a few spanner’s thrown in the works along the way.
Love Under Protection is the 15th book in the 425 Madison Avenue series. This is also the follow-up to Love Under Construction (book 6). While not my favorite of the series, I did enjoy this one. I liked it a lot more than the other Love Under Construction, mainly because I liked the characters more. I thought Raylynn and Harley were a good couple. I enjoyed the second half of the story more than the first half when they were in Hawaii. It showed them more in a realistic setting and allowed them to become friends before lovers again. The main thing the story suffered from was length. I would have liked it to be longer because there were some parts that would have benefited from being more fleshed out. Despite that, I would recommend this one.
Although this can be read as a stand alone characters from previous books in the 425 Madison series do make an appearance. This is the story of Harley and Raylynn who first meet at a bar in Hawaii and spend the night together. The next morning they are broken apart by the arrival of each of their friends and the start of those friends’ wedding celebration. They soon find out that Harley is the best man and Raylynn is the maid of honor and then due to a misunderstanding their encounter goes awry and they part as just friends and not “with benefits”.
Raylynn returns to her home in Georgia to discover that her ex-fiance has not only bought her building and is evicting her, but has also sabotaged all her chances at a new job. Raylynn then moves in with her friends in their apartment at 425 Madison which happens to be right next door to Harley.
Harley is a police officer and a true alpha male. He does everything he can to protect and look after Raylynn, especially when her ex makes an appearance, all while trying to remain “just friends”.
I loved this book just as much as the other books in this series. Once I started reading, I didn’t want to put it down and there were definitely spots where I couldn’t put it down as I had to know what happened next. I definitely recommend this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
High protection
Very good story, very romantic, simple, hot with characters who seem tender, but Harley’s character can become harder when it comes to protecting those he loves.
The story seems rather sweet in terms of protection, but it goes up in degrees advancing towards the end with a few twists.
Raylynn meets Harley, thinking it would be a one night stand, and she discovers that he is the best man of the marriage of their best friends. Their relationship is complicated by the trust they do not yet have in each other and the desire to protect the other or to protect themselves. When Raylynn returns home, she discovers that she has to leave her city and finds herself with her friends, who are Harley’s neighbors.

A hot cop book is one of my favorites. When it is written by Aubree Valentine, reading it is a guaranteed adventure! Love Under Protection is part of the 425 Madison Avenue series. It is Aubree’s second book in the series.
Love Under Protection is a rom com with a dose of suspense. After all the hero is a cop, he needed to do his thing! The main characters, Harley and Raylynn, made for some steamy reading!
I really enjoyed reading Love Under Protection. I highly recommend it.
I received an ARC for an honest review.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!

This addition to the 425 Madison Ave series was a hit! We started out on a much-needed vacation with a little fling, that led to a fun wedding hook-up, and even after trying to be placed into the friend-zone after coming back home, things all just pointed to Harley and Raylynn being a perfect match.
I should have known since I enjoyed the first book by this author in this series, Love Under Construction, that I would like this one as well. And this one I liked even better! Once again we got to see a lot of the characters we’ve met in other books in the series, and it is so much fun to see all the connections. I really like how seamlessly this author was able to weave the past stories and characters not only from her own book, but also from other authors’ works into this one.
But just with this story itself, I fell in love with Harley, he was the big strong cop, but also such a nice guy, taking care of Raylynn no matter what she needed. Whether it was after food poisoning, protecting her from a stalker, and just the steamy perfect sex as well! I loved the steam in this story, it was perfect, and sexy, and just the right amount for my liking. Can’t wait to read on in this series, and I definitely need to pick up more by this author!
This story has all the elements. It starts out sexy with all kinds of interesting happen. Then misunderstanding happens but what was most surprising how the intrigue ups it game.
Harley and Raylynn start out being awesome sidekicks to their best friends who are marrying each other. Actually they meet in a HOLY HOTNESS kind of way before they find out who each other are. As I said, intrigue is a huge part of this book and beautifully peppered throughout.
It has the right amount of angsty with naughty. Definitely worthy of 4.5 stars. Happy Reading Everyone!
