This was a thrilling and suspenseful read. I loved the past snippets giving me a slight insight into what happened, but at the same time keeping me strung along for the long haul – leaving me needing more. The characters were different but fun to read about. I also enjoyed the romance. Overall, this is a book I would recommend.
Final Rating: 5 Stars
After a traumatic childhood, Clara has isolated herself from the world.
The only people she really talks to are her best friend, her lawyer & her assistant – who does the things Clara can no longer bring herself to do in the outside world.
When a suspicious video arrives in the mail, her life is thrown into turmoil once again and she seeks the help of her former detective boyfriend, Jacob.
Jacobs new work partner is quick to come to the conclusion that Clara is behind everything which almost buries the case before it gets started.
This was a very intriguing story. I had my suspicions on who did what but I was happy I was wrong as I don’t like the story to be too predictable.
I can relate to a few aspects of Clara which helped me understand her reasoning for wanting to be so isolated.
I was quite amused by her cat, Grimm & very happy with her decision to keep one of the dogs (I’m more of a dog person lol).

Wow! This suspenseful story was as full of twists and turns as the Minotaur’s Maze. Shockingly violent childhood trauma has left Clara practically a prisoner in her own home. When she receives a strange, ominous letter she contacts her ex, Jacob, a homicide detective. As the case unfolds more information comes to light until the unforeseen conclusion brings the story to a totally satisfying end.

This is an amazing story filled with mystery, drama, suspense, and passion! The characters are well developed and one cannot help but fall in love with them. This captures you from page one and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. I highly recommend this book!!

While this started out a bit slow, it did pick up and turn into a good romantic suspense. Clara and Jacob had a good thing going until Clara pulled back. Now, years later, when danger finds her, she calls Jacob. They were a great couple but Clara’s baggage hangs heavy over them. Jacob has no choice but to solve the mystery and protect Clara. Once the story picked up, it moved along quickly. While recognizing how great the dynamic is between the two characters, the story also makes clear the pain Clara suffers and the pain Jacob feels. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
Ooh I didn’t see that coming!
I loved the way that Jenny Foster described the way that Clara handled her issues and her coping mechanisms – for me it was spot on (and I know no two people manage their problems the same way and no two people have the same problems) but for me, I found it exactly like how I traverse the minefield of my issues. Thank you for your sensitivities in this.
Right the story – I enjoyed the way that even though Clara and Jacob hadn’t been in contact with each other for 3 years – when they got together they knew they were meant to be and this time, the timing was right
I loved the twists and turns and the bombshells along the way. And of course as a cat mom myself, I loved Grimm X and he has a sibling X aww
I’m sorry that my review of this book is after the release but RL and migraines and panic attacks wait for no book to be read. In the plus side, as soon as I could read it, I did and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly loved the fact that although Clara has her own problems, neither Jacob or Ben treat her like a child which has been my experience in the past. Once again thank you Jenny Foster for this.
I’m excited to read what else you have to come out
I am a big fan of Jenny Foster, but this is a big difference from what she usually writes. I have to say it was a huge surprise. His to Protect is a mystery romance that brings to light a woman that has never gotten over her history and even gives up her love and future for that history.
Jacob and Clara are meant to be, but because of Clara’s past, she just can’t let anyone close. But when Clara thinks her life is in danger, the first person she thinks to call is Jacob.
Jacob is a cob and wants to fix things. It takes everything he has not to protect Clara and never leave her. But he knows that he has to find who is doing this to her.
His to Protect is not a passion-filled story. His to Protect is a protect Clara till death story that you want to read if you like mystery and intrigue.
This is such an intriguing read that completely hooked me! It’s a well written story that is a thrill ride with mystery and suspense. Love the characters! The whole story keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning pages. Very good and addicting read.
I’ve read many of Jolie Day’s books and can always expect exceptional writing and editing. However, this new book by Jolie and Jenny Foster went above and beyond my expectations! The writing is some of the best I’ve ever read! The story and characters are well developed and play out at the perfect pace. The story never feels rushed or that anything was left out. A thoroughly enjoyable and suspenseful read from cover to cover!
An emotionally deep, well written second chance mystery romance. The storyline is engaging, witty, well-written, flows smoothly, and moves along at a brisk pace. The chemistry between the Clara and Jacob is intense, undeniable, and potent. Definitely recommended!

His to protect was a very intriguing story, Jolie Day has written a suspenseful romance with mystery, murder and a second chance. The characters are very interesting and I enjoyed the twists and turns with these two. The beginning was a bit slow, but it does pick up speed and then it will keep you on the edge of your seat.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
There’s a mystery surrounding Clara’s past that’s threatening her now, and the only one she feels she can turn to before things turn deadly is Jacob, the one she pushed out of her life 3 years ago. In this exciting and chilling story, you will be kept on tenterhooks as you anxiously await the slow revelation of what really happened all those years ago and who’s behind this current threat. Not everything is as it appears. As Clara and Jacob draw closer to each other, things turn deadly, and Clara’s reclusive life is about to be turned inside out.
This is an intriguing mystery filled with drama, suspense and steamy passion. The characters are extremely well-drawn, and the storyline very expressive, grabbing your attention from the beginning and holding it until the end. You may find yourself holding your breath as events begin to fall into place, and the threat becomes very real. I highly recommend this engaging and entertaining romantic suspense.
This was a great book and fun to read. There was murder, mystery and plenty of romance. A story of a girl so emotionally shattered from the heinous murder of her mother and grandparents at the hand of her father, she has locked herself away from the scary world. As a painter and author she is content to stay in her bubble, only venturing out as far as the mailbox. Then everything changes when she receives an ominous letter threatening a kidnapped woman if she does not comply with ransom. Clara turns to the only person who can help her, the love of her life she left brokenhearted three years before. Such a good read, I enjoyed every minute!

This story has been very interesting. A woman who has a panic attack when she gets the mail. She is highly intellect and has a hard time putting things into words. But she could sit down and write it down and make you see how she processes everything. It makes you stop and think, I like that. Very good story and interesting also. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
I enjoyed reading this book , it has a good storyline. It is filled with action and intrigue, is entertaining and the interaction and chemistry between Clara and Jacob is great. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Well worth reading!
Very intense suspense & second chance romance. Jacob & Clara have history, not all good, but she knows she can count on him in her time of need. I like Jacob, he’s very protective, a good listener and realizes that it takes two to have or not have a relationship. The puzzle of Clara’s life is full of zigs and zags and a tangled web of who’s really her friend. Very interesting & detailed story, though painful for Clara, it’s definitely time for her to break out of her cocoon and live a normal life full of light and love.

Clara has had such a hard life. So much pain and confusion. Her father is sched. to die. Mystery and suspense keeps her life in an uproar. She needs help from the one person whose heart she broke in the past. Jacob is so good for Clara. A strong shoulder, protection, a life long love. This book was so good!!
