This is the first story of the new series, “Cavanaugh Security” by the amazing author, C.M. Steele and it’s Sean and his girl, Macy’s story to be told and it was fantastic! This story has everything you would expect from one of our favorite authors’, plus it’s longer, which is awesome!
The instant connection between sexy alpha Sean and his fierce yet shy fighter, Macy was believable and tangible. You could practically see the sparks through the written words and the suspense just added that fire that was burning between these two 😉
This was an amazing start to what it looks to be an amazing new series by this incredible author and I can’t wait to see who’s story is next! 🙂
I’ve read this book several times now, and it is one of my favorites. Sean is an amazing man, wanting only to help catch the bad guys despite his obvious talents in the financial market. He’s dedicated, diligent, and loyal. But he’s also a man pushed too far when the promotion he’s been working so hard for is given to someone undeserving. But lucky for Macy, he actually works his final two weeks. Macy is all woman, despite being only 18. Her mother doesn’t make the best decisions, and since her father’s death 2 years prior, Macy has been on her own. But there’s a predator on the loose that now has Macy in his sights. Sean just found Macy, he’s not about to lose her now. Thankfully, he now has time to protect the woman who captured his heart with her courage and sweetness. I love how Macy supports and encourages Sean’s dreams. I love how Sean brings Macy completely into his family, giving her the love she sorely lacks. With danger and intrigue, passion and commitment, snarky banter and loving family, this is an intricate story that just gets better with every reading. Enjoy!
Great start to what I’m sure will be a fantastic series!

Can’t wait for more in the Cavanaugh Security series. CM Steele did an amazing job not only focusing on the MC’s but introducing us to characters that will hopefully get their own books soon. Completely recommend reading!
Sean has always wanted to be a detective like his father but after being passed over for a promotion and the other guy who got it isn’t near as good as him, he decides to quit and do something else. His last night, he is driving around when he sees a speeder and goes after them. But he has to chase them and it turns out to be a female but she is scared and afraid of him. He finally calms her down and takes her to his place. When he finds out a cop tried to rape her, he wants to help her. Who is killing women? And is the killer a cop? Good mystery with a twist and some romance thrown in to have a great story.

I’ve enjoyed this book alot! Lots of heat, sweet words, gave you a combination of ALPHA hotness, I’d definitely recommend.
Protecting Macy by C.M. Steele is book 1 in the Cavanaugh Security Series. This is Macy Garcia and Sean Cavanaugh’s story. Sean and Macy meet after she went thru a horrific experience and Sean was the cop who was there for her. Theirs was a insta-love story that has the sizzle and romance along was suspense , angst, twists , drama and heat. I loved the chemistry between Macy and Sean – the insta-love didn’t detract but was such a beautiful addition to the story and loved the twist with the serial killer and crooked cop. I can’t wait for book 2 in this new series.
My Rating: 4.8 stars ******
This is a new author to me and I will definitely be reading more of her books in the future. Sean has his sights set on being a homicide detective following in his father‘s footsteps, when he gets passed over for the promotion by an unworthy candidate here is fed up and give his two weeks notice. He runs into Macy on the last day of his patrolman job and the attraction is so instantaneous he’s done for. Macy is in desperate need of help from her scare with the run in by another police officer. The chemistry between Sean and Macy is off the charts hot but he takes it slow because she is in a vulnerable state. This book kept me on the edge of my seat wondering who the bad guy was. Great start to the series, I will definitely be reading the next installment!!
Likable characters, action, inst-love. I really enjoyed this book and the happily ever after was well deserved. Enjoy!
***I decided to review an ARC of this book.***
Easy read with lots of steamy scenes and some suspense. I enjoyed the story but felt it was too quick and not enough true emotions between Macy and Sean. The danger was real, but we spent more time than necessary trying to keep their hands to themselves. I felt for Macy’s past, and Sean was very protective. This story set up the series as well, pulling in more people for the next book.
I received an ARC through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
So happy this one is finally here. Sean and Macy are perfect together. I love how Sean was in the right place when Macy needed him, even though she had just been through a traumatic experience she knew that Sean was safe. After finding Macy how he did he knew that there was no way he could let her out of his sight. Luckily she didn’t want to be too far from him either. Love their connection, they completed each other perfectly. Can’t wait to see what’s next in this series.
This was a story that really took me by surprise. I thought I was getting something and I got something else out it. It was a total surprise and Sean and Macy really surprised me.
Poor Sean loves his job but he keeps getting passed by for detective and he is sick if being a cop. He knows the reason why he gets passed by is because he doesn’t kiss arse and he doesn’t sleep his way up through the ranks. So he is tired of being passed by and is ready to leave his job as a cop.
Macy is just working her behind of at the diner trying to make enough money to move and start a new life. She wants out of the trailer park and her mother and step father’s control. So she works to make her own money to move.
When these two meet by accident the chemistry is off the hook and they can’t get enough of each other but will it be enough for the two of them? Can they have a relationship worth while? Can they over come their lives to move on to a better life?
Absolutely Fantastic!! It is beautifully written with a well-developed consistent and engaging plot that will grip you from beginning to end. An on the edge of your seat read with an intriguing storyline that is emotionally deep with ups and downs, humour, suspense, and witty banter. The characters are likeable, strong, and deep; the chemistry between them is intense, instant, and potent. It is a very exciting read and comes highly recommended. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Great story. Love how it is a little longer than her recent novellas. Goes into a little more detail and relationship between them. Great love story with some climatic suspense as well
Protecting Macy was a good story with characters that are interesting and bring alot to the plot this would also be the first book that I’ve read by C.M Steele . The heroine is not only a beautiful face but she is is beautiful on the inside with a kind soul , the hero is dominate but also passionate . They had such an amazing chemistry it was really intense . Can’t wait to read more by the author I hope this isn’t the last time we see of the couple .

This is the first book in a new series from this talented author, and is Sean and Macy’s story. This is a good story which is fast paced, and has drama, suspense, and love. I was intrigued throughout, and look forward to reading more from this author, whose work I recommend for all.
Maci is determined to escape the life her mother has dragged her into after her father’s death. Her stepdad’s advances are too scary to ignore. She is ready to make a move when an attack leads to a man worthy of her devotion. Sean is tired of his dedication and commitment to the police force in his town leading to nowhere. People using money and sexual favors getting promoted drives him to quit. On his last night, he saves a young woman after she has been assaulted. As soon as he lays eyes on her, he knows she is it for him. Now he just has to protect her until her assailant is caught and then show her that they are meant to be.
I have been a fan of C.M. Steele for a short time but this was one of my favorites by her. The connection between Macy and Sean is immediate, intense. The danger around them ratchets up the tension and kept me turning the pages until late. I couldn’t rest until I knew that they had succeeded in removing the threat. Insta-love and passion are hallmarks of Ms. Steele’s stories and Sean and Macy are sizzling hot. I cannot wait for more in the Cavanaugh Security series! 5 stars for Protecting Macy.
