This is a fun read with a very naughty captain. There’s a fierce attraction between Dean and Charlie and Dean is determined to explore their carnal desires. It’s a steamy romance that’s bound to raise the temperature in your reading room. Kudos to Ms.Riley for a exciting book.
This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done Jillian. I look forward to more!
Setting sail with her Captain
Protective Captain is a nice romance story set on the high seas, well actually a cruise ship so no sexy pirates in this story. There is instant love when our h, Charlie, and the h, Captain Dean Luca, set eyes on each other. It is a good thing they are surrounded by water otherwise their hot and steamy chemistry would ignite the ship and burn it down when they have what turns out to be more than a fling.
Plus add in a second couple, Charlie’s best friend Sam finds herself a man also.
This novella is sweet, romantic, funny, adventurous, passionate and very sexy all rolled into a great story-line and some entertaining characters.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A great well written enjoyable romance. This short engaging storyline had realistic characters that really came alive with undeniable chemistry. It held my interest with suspense, drama, smooth flow dialogue and sexy hot chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this excellent sexy fun ARC.
A great read of romance on a cruise ship with the Captain & a celebrity passenger, Charlie (Charlotte). It has the right balance of giggles with Charlie & her girlfriend, Sammy, while on the cruise; the instant love-at-first-sight moment & the hours being in a dangerous scary situation. This is my first novel read by this author & I enjoyed her writing style, the flow of the story-line & the way everything worked out. I’m looking forward to reading more of Jillian Riley’s novels.

I loved reading Protective Captain, and following Charlie and Dean’s story. I read it in less than a day and found it hard to put down. Jillian Riley writing of this book shows how complicated some relationships can be, but can be happy ones as well.
What a great love story of Charlie and Dean. Not sure if I want to take a cruise after the ride they had!! This book had my emotions all over the place. Charlie was like the band playing in the Titanic with her YouTube recording lol!! What’s next for this crazy couple…
Refreshing to know that there are people that sacrifice their personal lives for your happiness. The captain did and was not thrilled about it. He dealt with it the right way. It was his job and it happens because of the job. He did what he needed for his own happiness and that is what matters most.

this book is kind of slow starting and extremely detailed but once everything gets started it is a great book.

Charlie lost a lot of weight and is a instant famous blogger/ writer. She’s on a cruise to talk about her journey to weight loss and her up coming book. Her friend came along with her. They meet the captain at a piano bar but don’t know that he is the captain of their boat until they meet him later at dinner. Dean is just ending his marriage because his wife can’t deal with having a husband that is away working as much as he is. When he sees Charlie she takes his breath away. He is even more stunned when she turns up at the dinner he has on his ship. Sparks fly between them and they have an amazing night. Yet a misunderstanding has Charlie sneaking away. Will Dean get a chance to explain things to her before she gets away?
This is a great story that will draw you in from the first chapter. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This was a rollicking good read.
Charlie, author of a New York Times best selling self-help book, has a public speaking event on a cruise ship where she meets Dean, the Captain of the ship, who is somewhat incognito at the time. As the story progresses they realize initial perceptions are wrong, each face some harsh realities, and both must pass through the turbulent waters that creates for any hope of a future together. Jillian Riley’s Protective Captain takes the reader on a rough ride through the churning oceans of real life relationships and ends with smooth sailing as they realize their happy ever after. I really enjoyed all characters and their interactions as well as chuckling to myself at some of the antics they got up to.
I received a free copy of the book from the author via Booksprout. I had the opportunity to review or not.
I loved this book and I loved the plot and the ending was really good. I could not put it down. I would definitely recommend this book to others to enjoy as much as I did

Love Dean and Charlie
Jillian Riley’s new book, Protective Captain, tells us about Charlie, and author who was invited to talk about her book on Allure, the cruise ship Dean runs as its captain.
Like all the Jillian Riley books I have read so far, I also loved this one, knowing that two strangers found their happily-ever-after in a setting much like everyone’s favourite Love Boat!
