From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black comes a new story in her More Than Words series… another woman in my life. But how can I possibly say no to Amanda Lund, a young single mom desperate to learn self-defense? Or refuse the banked desire on the guarded beauty’s face?
I can’t.
So I seduce Mandy until we’re burning up the sheets…and soon find my heart entangled with her bruised and battered one. But when a nemesis from her past tries to destroy our future by unearthing my secret, will she understand and forgive me—or give up on us forever?

After a brief introduction in More than Dare You, Tanner and Amanda steam up the spotlight with dangerous intrigue and heartstopping romance. Black casts a spell that intensifies with every page turned. Filled with emotional twists and dangerous curves, More than Protect You gets under your skin and into your heart with a style that’s all it’s own.
Tanner is in Maui to start over, he left his soon to be ex wife behind and is ready to open another shooting range and move forward. Ine day he recives a call fro his friend asking to be a bodyguard for a woman Amanda and her infant son who is being chased by mobs and attacked in her house because of her past relationship with Barclay who died a while ago. The minute he walks into the house he hears this voice that is like a swann song calling him over. This fast building story will captivate and enchant you with the deep emotional connections Amanda and Tanner feel for each other, but her meddling father and brother will almost make her miss the best thing she has in her life for a life of luxury with a man of their choice. What will Mandy choose? Can she trust again? So many questions on the table makes this an entertaining story that I volunteered to read.
Another heart-melting novella to the epic More than Words series, but part of the 1001 Dark Night tales. We get our first glimpse of Tanner and Amanda at the end of More Than Dare You, number 6 of the series, and I knew there would be some feisty chemistry between the two of them… Shayla didn’t disappoint.
In no truer fashion, Shayla Black gives us two great characters that readers everywhere can relate to. Tanner, the bodyguard whose been burned by his ex, is sent to protect Amanda, the naïve, young lady, and her son. but can Tanner keep his distance physically while his heart yearns for her heart. And don’t discount Amanda, whose heart tends to make drastic decisions towards older men. Can she rely on a man and trust him to keep her safe from someone whose stalking her?
This novella is easy to follow, but it’s best to read More Than Dare You in the series to grasp certain elements prior. I do like how each story in the series keeps progressing in a tanglement of webs, and you watch to unfolding of characters develop before your eyes.
In true Shayla Black style, this might be a short novella but it had everything a big book would have to offer: Fabulous characters – Tanner and Amanda were instant favorites, intrigue and deception – murder, mayhem and a dysfunctional family, and last but not least there was plenty of steamy love and affection. Just like with other books in the series, Shayla Black locks the reader in at the very beginning and then takes them on a highly enjoyable and entertaining journey. Who is ready to take a trip to Hawaii?
I just love Shayla Black style of writing.
This story is about Tanner and Amanda. It’s a tale of learning to trust again as well as facing your past, before you can move on
I especially love the catching up with previous book characters. It’s like an expanding family, someone is always popping in. Adding to the story, without taking over. Perfect.
