Jack Bryant left the Special Forces to begin his private investigation business. Pulling together like-minded men from the CIA, FBI, ATF, DEA, Border Patrol, SEALs, and police, they were devoted to the missions that no one else wanted or could solve.
When the Campus Killer strikes again, Jack’s team is tasked by the Governor to find the killer, using whatever means they can.
While following the … following the trail of the serial killer, he becomes entangled in the life of the beautiful woman living next to his property.
Bethany Bridwell moved in with her grandmother to take over running Mountville Cabin Rentals. She had no time for the handsome, mysterious man living next door who continued to intrude into her life…and her thoughts.
Jack battled his growing feelings for Bethany, worried his life would not allow for the white-picket-fence world she deserved. But he was unable to stay away.
When the trail of the Campus Killer strikes close to home, can Jack protect Bethany long enough to give her what she needs?

Another great book by Maryann Jordan! I can’t even believe what a great book this is. I love that the series all seem to in some way fall into one another. It is great to hear and see old characters when being introduced to new characters also. I love that yet another alpha male was shown to have a supportive and loving nature while being all male. This book was a great introduction to the new group of men that will be burning up the pages of this series. I can’t wait for book 2.
At first I was a little unsure how I felt about the caveman speak of Jack when he was speaking to Bethany but then I felt the same little quiver whenever he was in his Alpha persona so, yea, it works! I love all of Maryann Jordan’s books but this was my first Saints Protection & Investigation book but I have already decided that this will be another of her series that I will mark as “to be read.” This book had just the right amount of chemistry between the main characters, just the right amount of action and suspense in the story and “almost” enough sex scenes between Jack and Bethany. Hey, those two definitely set off sparks when they interacted and it was magic to read the fires when they interacted. Definitely a book to buy whether you are a devoted Maryann Jordan fan or if this is your first in her very addictive books!
Intriguing
He was not looking for love, but it barreled through this backyard one day. She was helping her grandmother take care of her family business. What happens next will keep you on your toes.
I loved the blend of steamy romance with action and mystery! A great start to a new series that I can’t wait to continue.
Jack Bryant runs his own private investigation company.
Bethany Bridwell left behind her job and city life to run her grandmothers mountain cabin retreat area. When difficult circumstances with her grandmother throw them together, Bethany easily falls for handsome, protective Jack.
“It seems to me that for someone who does what you do, how you do it, the white-picket fence to come home to would look mighty good.”
Jack struggles with his attraction to his beautiful neighbor and his need to keep her separate from the seedy elements of life that he comes in contact with in his line of work.
“If she were in my arms, her head would be tucked under my chin and her cheek would be against my heartbeat.”
All the while , Jack’s investigation firm work hard to discover a serial killer who is targeting young women in his area.
This book has it all!
Fun read you dont want to miss.
Love this book! I was happily surprised to realize I did not predict the “bad guy”. Additionally, although the female heroine has help along the way, she is very capable of being her own savior.
Another “Seal gets the girl” story, but, hey, it was awesome! I love these and obviously others do too or they wouldn’t be as successful as they are! Rugged, sexy men finally finding the perfect girl…gotta save her first, then happily ever after!
Excellent!!!! Wonderful beginning to the series. Be prepared to not be able to put it down once you start it. This was my first book by this author and it definitely won’t be my last.

I purchased a copy of the the novel Serial Love (Saints Protection & Investigations Book 1) by Maryann Jordan and this review was given freely.
A novel with promise and good introduction to the series.
Saints Protection & Investigations’ eight member team nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia run by Former member of Tony Alvarez’s Special Forces squad Jack Bryant is tasked to stop a serial carver of Virginia college women. Things get complicated when neighboring cabin campground owner Bethany breaches their security while trying to locate her grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer’s. A steamy romantic suspense with vivid descriptions, an alpha male who doubts he is relationship worthy, some specific descriptions of violence and a killer who is closer than anticipated.

Jack Bryant owned Saints Protection & Investigation. It is a private investigation business made up of highly skilled men making them perfect to tackle jobs nobody else could solve. That is why the Governor asked them to find a serial killer called the Campus Killer. They worked out of Jack’s house which was very isolated and way out in the country. With the highest security in place, Jack is surprised when the alarms go off, indicating an intruder on the property. It turned out that an elderly woman who lived next door had climbed through the fence and her granddaughter, Bethany, went after her. That’s how Jack and Bethany met. They were immediately attracted to each other but Jack didn’t do relationships because he thought he couldn’t give a nice family life to a woman. So there was a lot of ‘should we or shouldn’t we’ going on making the romance part of this story captivating.
This is a wonderful thriller/romance with terrific characters. Bethany is a very kind, loving woman who moved in with her grandmother, who was suffering from the onset of Alzheimer’s. She was helping to run her grandmother’s cabin rental business. Jack was the perfect leader for the dangerous missions his team was given. His special forces training made his alpha-male personality even stronger. And Gran was cute but a handful for Bethany.
The story was so well written that the mystery was easy to follow but kept me on the edge of my seat wondering who the villain was. But we don’t find out until the end. It really has it all with suspense, hot, highly skilled operatives, and steamy romance.
Great book for a cold night
I liked it enough to buy the second book. That was good as well. Like the cast of characters and the interaction.
Loved this book, however I think some of the sex scenes were just too much. 3 pages to describe the deed and some of the language caused me to just skip reading those pages.
good action & plot
THis is the first book that I have read from this author. Plan to read more books by this author
Very strong male caveman acting character. A little too much for me.
