Viktoria Jonsdottir is none too pleased with the personal bodyguard her father has insisted on hiring to keep her safe. Safe from what, she has no idea, but she’s convinced having this brooding man hovering over her is completely unnecessary. All she wants to do is get to New York where her father is conducting high level meetings for their corporation—meetings she arranged, to prove her value to … her value to the company. Sure, Lee MacCallister is sexy as hell and his eyes would make an ordinary woman swoon. But Viktoria is no ordinary woman. She’s not going to fall for Lee, even if he does make her feel things she’s never felt before. Like this strange new emotion that just might be…happiness.
It’s a simple enough assignment for the former Army Ranger—protect some rich, spoiled woman for a few days then pick up the check. Only thing is, Viktoria isn’t like any woman he’s ever met. She’s tough, smart, and has a body that’s more than a little distracting. He can keep it professional, even though she’s beyond tempting as sin. But when things get dicey and Victoria’s enemies prove to be far more dangerous than Lee anticipated, he realizes Viktoria has become more than an assignment—she’s become personal. And that could be the most dangerous thing of all.

This was yet another great book by Leslie North. I enjoy her writing style and I am sure to continue enjoying her books in the future. I really like how she describes the situations and her character development. I liked the relationship between the main characters. I like how Lee started out with one opinion of Viktoria and ended up realizing she wasn’t who he thought she was. She writes strong characters and ones that are hard to forget. I would recommend this book to others.

She did not want a bodyguard even though he is sexy as sin. She just wants to prove to her father she can do it. He thinks it will be an easy job but that was before he meets her. It becomes more dangerous when there is an attack on her. Can he keep her safe? Can he find the people behind the attack? See if he can

Seal’s Protection by Leslie North this is book 3 in the SEAL & Veteran Series .
This was a really good book, it’s about veteran Lee MacCallister he was medical dischargeed and now is working for a security company. His new job It’s a simple enough assignment for the former Army Ranger—protect some rich, spoiled woman for a few days then pick up the check. Only thing is, Viktoria Jonsdottir isn’t like any woman he’s ever met. She is intelligent, strong, determined, COO of her father’s empire company, she’s a worrior, stubborn, hard working and the most beautiful woman he has ever met.
Someone is out to kill her, there is danger hidden at every turn and they can’t trust anyone. It will take all his ranger training to keep her safe.
But neither of them were counting on the sparks, and tingling feelings that they would have for each other from the start! Lee knows that she is completely off limits, she’s just a client he has to deliver to her father’s hands unharmed, and she knows that Lee is not for her they are of two different class groups….she has to marry someone of her father’s liking.
There’s so much that happens in this mystery suspense, love, emotional, hot romance novel. Good ending, Awesome! Leslie North you never disappoint
Another great book by this author! The great character and plot development hooked me right from the very first page and kept me totally engaged until I finished reading the very last page!
First off, I have a total author crush on Leslie North! Everything that she touches is magic and this book is no different. I love the interaction between characters and how her heroines are always smart, strong women. I love how her stories are like watching a movie, they are detailed and unbelievably well developed. I recommend this book and author.

Lee MacAlister is the youngest of the MacAlister brothers. After receiving a medical discharge ending his career as an Army Ranger sniper, Lee is feeling lost. Then he is offered a job at a security company and soon is assigned to the Security detail for a wealthy young woman named Viktoria from Iceland. She’s beautiful, smart, and has just enough sass and spunk to draw Lees attention, but she is off limits.. Soon kidnapping attempts are mad and a murder attempt when their plane is sabotaged and crashes. There are twists and turns throughout this well written storyline and I love Lee’s character. He’s all alpha but also considerate of Viktoria too. I loved this entire Series.

3.75 stars– RANGER’S PROTECTION is the third instalment in Leslie North’s contemporary, adult SEAL AND VETERAN SERIES erotic, military romantic suspense series focusing on three brothers: Chance, Harris and Lee MacCallister. This is twenty-eight year olds, former Army Ranger sniper, and security specialist Lee MacCallister, and Icelander business woman and heiress Viktoria Jonsdottir’s story line. RANGER’S PROTECTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Viktoria and Lee) RANGER’S PROTECTION follows the building relationship between twenty-eight year olds, former Army Ranger sniper, and security specialist Lee MacCallister, and Icelander business woman and heiress Viktoria Jonsdottir. Due to a catastrophic injury while on assignment over seas, Lee MacCallister was forced to retire twenty years sooner than he had anticipated. Currently working for Elite Security Services, Lee would find himself playing babysitter and bodyguard to Icelandic heiress Viktoria Jonsdottir, a woman with a target on her back, and a price on her head. As Viktoria crosses America to promote her new business Lee and his team face many obstacles including several attempts against Viktoria’s life. What ensues is the quick building, sexual relationship between Lee and Viktoria, and the fall-out as Viktoria’s need for independence places everyone in the direct line of fire.
Viktoria Jonsdottir wants nothing to do with Lee MacCallister and his team of security specialists. Throughout the story, our heroine is constantly trying to control the situation, by placing herself in dangerous situations, situations that will place everyone including Lee, in harm’s way. TSTL (too stupid to live) Viktoria rejects and ignores all warnings and recommendations from Lee and his team, resulting in devastation and debacle for everyone concerned.
The relationship between Lee and Viktoria begins as an assignment that quickly grows into something more. As Lee struggles with his attraction to Viktoria, Viktoria continues to push the man with whom she will fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Lee’s team at Elite Security including boss man Sebastian ‘Boom’ McKinney; security guards Jeff and Mike; Viktoria’s assistant Aleta , and childhood friend Katrin, as well as the return of Lee’s brothers –Chance and Harris MacCallister.
RANGER’S PROTECTION is a story of betrayal, vengeance, greed and power. The premise is intriguing; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is seductive and hot.
I liked that both of the main characters are strong people. They come from two different cultures but the attraction is still strong. It made me grin that Viktoria dubbed Lee,”The Heathen” when she first met him. No, she didn’t call him that to his face but it was in her inner thoughts. Of course there was more than one time when she kind of acted like a snob around him too. Can’t say that I liked that too much. But it really wasn’t the real person that she was. It was a fake version of herself. But it will cause problems of course.
I really liked the charming thing that Viktoria’s father told her long ago. He warned her that when she met her perfect match, he would be able to stand up to her without tearing her down. He would appreciate her fire and spirit. He also said she that when she met that man, she would know. He also advised her when she did, be courageous and grab hold with both hands. All really good advice that does come in handy.
There were two people that I suspected of not being on Team Viktoria and it does get confirmed in the story. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a twisted surprise included. Because I didn’t see that one coming. It all made the story even better.
I also appreciated the Epilogue because that is almost a must for me. When possible, I want to see one.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is funny, entertaining and dramatic. Lee is bold, cheeky, determined and chivalrous. Viktoria is feisty, stubborn and brave. When Lee is assigned to her as a babysitter he thinks it’s going to be a breeze. Then he meets her, and she immediately starts to order him around, his easy guard dog duty turns into an intense war of wills. Then they get shot at, and he starts to think that someone close to her is revealing her whereabouts, and trying to kill her. They are cute and funny together. This is an amazing series that I enjoyed reading, and should be added to your TBR list.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
This book is absolutely fantastic – I had so much fun reading it! An entertaining and interesting read that is wonderfully written with intriguing characters and a really feisty heroine. Viktoria is feisty and full of sass and Lee is lethal and HOT – a perfect match; their chemistry scorching and off the charts. The storyline is action-packed, suspense-filled, well-developed, witty, funny, and moves at a brisk pace. It is a well written, well-developed fast pace page-turner guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat with your fingers smoking from frantically turning the pages in anticipation of what is to come next. Definitely recommended.

(Review with spoilers)
Third book in the series. I loved the story. I recommend it.
Lee is lost. In a short time, he has lost his job and his father. He’s got another job that helps him feel a little better. And he didn’t expect to have to protect someone like Viktoria.
Viktoria feels that her father does not take seriously all the work she has dedicated to the company. When she meets Lee, she thinks he wants to control her like her father. But everything changes when she knows him.
I loved seeing a different Lee than in the previous books. He is no longer so dull and resentful of everyone. He feels better about himself. I love the bond he has with his siblings. It’s already been seen in the other books, and much more here. They leave everything for the other, without hesitating for a second. He entrusts his life to them, as they do. Strong, determined, he listens to others. He is beginning to live again.
I don’t like Viktoria as much as Mandy or Rachel. She has character, she is very clear about what she wants, and she has been fighting for it for years. But she judges people too soon, she cares too much about what others think. She didn’t defend Lee. And, even though she has made things clear with him, I’m not so sure that she doesn’t think the same of his coworkers.
I loved seeing Chance and Harris, and Mandy and Rachel too. And I loved the name Harris and Rachel have chosen for their daughter.
I received an ARC from the author, and this is my honest review.
This is book 3 in the SEALs and Veterans series and it features Lee McCallister and Victoria Jonsdottir. Even though there were some tender and sexy moments between them, I had a hard time believing she was anything more than she appeared to be, which was rich, spoiled and thought her self above most people. She valued her job and reputation above even her own life. Needless to say she most definitely was not who I would’ve chosen for Lee to fall for.
The story line was good and had some fantastic action.
I was waiting for the jump to happen the entire book! Lee and Viktoria didn’t disappoint! Lee’s intuition was spot on. And Viktoria was independent to a fault almost. Sexy times and suspense were the orders of the day with this story!

Highly entertaining and sexy fun reading, really enjoyed this emotionally thrilling, action packed and engaging adventure….. that had me reading all night. Great chemistry with the charters and witty banter. Enjoyed the undeniable passion and heart pounding excitement of it all.
SEAL & Veterans ahs definitely been one of my favourite series by Leslie North, and this third and finally book is no exception. Ranger’s Protection has danger, intrigue, deception and a whole bucket full of sexual tension and angst. A great storyline and a really good plot, ensure that the reader is kept glued to their seat till the last page is turned.
Viktoria Jonsdottir is essentially portrayed as a high-maintenance, spoilt socialite, but there’s definitely a softer side, which she tries to keep well hidden. Lee McCallister is the youngest of the three brothers and his need to shelter and protect is all consuming. But do opposites really attract? Well you’ll have to read this wonderful story to find that out for yourself. For those who may not have read the first two books, you really are missing out, so get cracking on catching up, as the McCallister brothers are worth every minute of your time!
THis ask got to be my favorite brother out of the three. He’s cocky without wings arrogant, but he’s determined to do his job as best as he can even with the sparks flying between them. She’s a sassy woman that gets him all twisted up, especially since she refuses to listen to him where her safety is concerned. I live down this book and cannot wait to see what’s coming next from Leslie.
