Well written and started off well, grabbed my attention quickly, then detoured into what felt like the mixed plot from other books I have read.
Secret Black ops, deranged megalomaniac scientist who thinks he is god by creating shifters/super soldiers (called predators in this case).
After being such a good character in book 1, I cannot believe how cuckoo Catalina turned out to be. Happily letting said mad scientist experiment on her and her hardly saying boo about it. A highly qualified paramedic and someone I thought of as a solid person goes Yah, I get to be Supahero. Really don’t think so.
Pity as I really enjoy the rest of the team and would love to read their books.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!
This cover is definitely beautiful with both forms looking gorgeous!
This is the 3rd book in the series, and it is my favorite of the series so far. This series is for adults only due to the steamy content. I highly recommend reading all the books in order to get the full experience and character building! You will miss out by not doing so!
The action started on the first page and never stopped. I wasn’t sure I would like Shane because he seemed off-putting in the other books. This was definitely not an issue. Shane is a rock star and one of my favs. I knew I like Catalina from the first book with Ellie because they are both pretty cool. Catalina is like a superhero from the beginning and awesome. I loved every second of this book! I don’t want to give anything away, so you need to read it to see what happens.
I love Zoe Chant’s books because they always have action and romance that just makes me happy. I’m a sap for a happy ending!
I highly recommend this book and the whole series to all the shifter fans especially if you already love Zoe’s books! If you have tried reading any of her books, you need to because you won’t be disappointed.
** spoiler alert ** Catalina has been called many things, but she has always been determined to help others. Shane escaped captivity and now lives in the shadows. One group is determined to create the ultimate predator. Will Catalina stay strong? Will they both be able to escape?
Was excited to get more of Catalina and Shane. Both characters showed strong personalities in previous book and they really showed their strength in this one. Loved how Catalina really just took things as they come. Loved Shane’s protective side. Both were evenly matched. Great book!
ANOTHER DIVINELY ENTERTAINING READ FROM ZOE CHANT!!!
Title: Protector Panther
Series: Protection, Inc
Designation: Book Three of Series, Standalone Novella, NO Cliffhanger
Author: Zoe Chant
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: FIVE CAPTIVATING STARS*****
Wow! Another awesome read from Zoe Chant! I became totally infatuated with Chant’s work last year after reading Bodyguard Bear, the first book in her Protection Inc Series and immediately became a fan! I fell head over heels for the concept of the series and the large cast of magnificent characters featured in each book. All of the books in this series are standalone novellas, featuring a different member of Protection Inc finding their mate and their very own happily-ever-after ending. The characters introduced in the first book make a return appearance in each subsequent book which draws the reader into the story much more quickly. They become our friends and family and without a doubt, it’s one of the things I love most about this series. Chant has continued the thrilling fast-paced adventure with Protector Panther, the third release of the Protector, Inc Series and she totally knocked this one out of the park! Although each release is a standalone novella featuring a different member of the Protector, Inc team, I would highly recommend reading at least the first book, Bodyguard Bear, since it introduces the large cast comprising the Protector, Inc employees and sets up the premise for the entire series. If you enjoy this series half as much as I do, you’ll be a fan for life! The story is exciting, thrilling, fast-paced, suspenseful, sweet, romantic and sexy. The narrative is exceptionally well written in the third person with alternating his and her points of view. My favorite! The dialogue is smart, entertaining, well executed and flows seamlessly. I’m also very impressed with the presentation of Chant’s books. They are extremely well edited, the formatting is excellent and the covers are always beautiful. Chant excels at world building but it’s her characters that take center stage in this series. Meet handsome, enigmatic panther shifter and Protection Inc employee, Shane Garrity and beautiful curvaceous paramedic, Catalina Mendez. They are captivating, intriguing, engaging and endearing. I was intrigued with Shane and his mysterious persona when he was introduced in the first book. I knew his story would be remarkable and it is! And Catalina – she’s truly magnificent! Does her name sound familiar? It should! Remember Ellie McNeil, the lovely brave paramedic from the first book who mated Hal Brenner, owner of Protection Inc? Yup, that’s the one. Well, Catalina is Ellie’s paramedic partner and best friend. See what I mean about Chant’s skilled world building and character development? The heroes are all handsome, charismatic alpha males with kind hearts carefully concealed under their strong, gruff exteriors and the heroines are beautiful, intelligent, brave women who possess remarkable strength, courage, caring and kindness. No wilting violets among these women! I love it! Chant skillfully combines these elements to craft a delightfully entertaining paranormal tale filled to the brim with heart-pounding danger, spellbinding drama, heart-stopping adventure, spine-tingling suspense, heartbreaking angst and sweet seductive romance. And folks, this book is twice as long as the first one coming in at almost 200 pages! Woo-Hoo! What did I love about this book? Everything! What didn’t I like about this book? Not a darn thing! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers since there are a few steamy dream love scenes. Will I read this author again? Absolutely! Just as soon as she publishes the next book in the series!
Most people hate working the graveyard shift but for adrenaline junkie paramedic Catalina Mendez, it’s her favorite time of day, well technically night or early morning. It’s the most exciting time to work for someone in her profession because it’s the peak time for automobile crashes, industrial accidents, medical crises and violent crimes. It’s also the best time for Catalina to do what she does best – save lives. Catalina is devoted to her job and there’s nothing she enjoys more than being able to save a life which is why she also works with Paramedics Without Borders and travels the world helping to restore emergency services to areas affected by catastrophic events. As a matter of fact, she’s just returning from Loredana, a small European nation recently ravaged by a horrific earthquake. After flight cancellations and delays, Catalina has finally arrived in Santa Martina but it’s the middle of the night and she’s had way too much coffee, so she decides to walk part of the way home. Sound crazy? Yep, according to her family but she’s always enjoyed being out this time of the night and never been afraid of being mugged or attacked. Unfortunately, her decision tonight may very well be one she regrets after finding a handsome stranger staggering from a dark alley. Well, maybe she doesn’t regret the hot stranger but she definitely regrets what happens next – she’s abducted along with her hunky, hot patient by a secret government Black Ops agency called Apex. Oh my! They can’t do that, can they? They can and they have, and they intend to turn her into some kind of black op super agent/assassin against her will. What? Oh yes, and that’s not all…..they’re going to make her into a shifter. What the heck? She doesn’t take lives, she saves them! What’s a courageous paramedic to do? Why fall in love and escape, of course!
Panther shifter and former military pararescue jumper Shane Garrity has been running from his past for a year now. He’s lucky he’s even alive. Had it not been for Hal Brenner, owner of Protection Inc, finding him in the woods and saving him, he would be long dead. He’s tried desperately to keep a low profile but somehow, Apex has found him and it looks like the jig is finally up. And why in the world won’t the beautiful, brave woman trying to rescue him, just go away and leave him to his fate before it’s too late for her as well. Now, Apex has them both but what Apex doesn’t know is that Catalina is his mate and unlike before, he’ll do anything, and I do mean anything, to save her. He and his panther are in complete agreement. If it means killing every last one of them, that’s exactly what he’ll do – even if the cost is his own life. Oh my! Will Shane be able to confront his demons and reveal his secrets to Catalina about his dark past? Will Catalina be able to accept Shane and his secrets? Can Shane find a way to escape and save them both before it’s too late? We’ll see! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read. I have to admit, I was really looking forward to both Shane and Catalina’s story but I had no idea I would get both in the same book. They are absolutely perfect for each other! I loved it! Well done Ms Chant, well done indeed! I can hardly wait to see who the next story is about!
This series is addictive, each book is a wonderful read.
