These men never back away danger—and always fall hard for love in Cover Six Security, an explosive new series from USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa B. KampsGordon “Mac” MacGregor swore an oath to protect and defend—an oath he continues to uphold as a former Army Ranger specializing in dark ops private security with Cover Six Security. Danger is a constant companion—and one of the few things that … a constant companion—and one of the few things that make him feel alive. He doesn’t expect that danger to come in the form of the Tabitha “TR” Meyers, the only woman who sees him for who he truly is—and the only woman he’s ever sworn off.
TR rarely abides by the rules, not when there’s something she needs—and right now, she needs Mac. She enlists his help for one night, thinking she can simply walk away when it’s over. But that one night is just the beginning, thrusting both of them into a dangerous web of scandal and cover-up with roots that run deeper than either of them expects.
When TR becomes an unwitting pawn in a game of deception and revenge, Mac will do anything to protect her—even if it means risking his own heart.

The Protector: Mac is the first full book in Lisa B. Kamps’ new series called Cover Six Security! I have read other of her series so I knew that whatever direction she has decided to take us into, it would be smashing! And it was! I had not read the real introduction to the series, the novella where we meet first our Tabitha “TR” Meyers and Gordon “Mac” MacGregor so I know I need to go back to it as apparently it gives us even more of the backstory!
The Protector: Mac is filled with suspense, intrigue and action … it is twisted and distorted and at time you have to take a moment and think “WTH!” and then … it all comes together! I loved how the writer had added another point of view in addition to Mac and TR …. wait for it …. the bad guy! It added a whole another layer to the atmosphere! I cannot wait for all the other guys in the Cover Six Security to get their own stories and I hope that we will also get a bit more of Mac and TR as they are part of the gang AND (not giving it away), TR is also changing careers!
The Protector: Mac is the first book in the Cover Six Security series by author Lisa B. Kamps. I probably would have given this book a fifth star had I known that there was a prequel to it. While it can be read as a standalone the first couple chapters left me feeling like I was missing a good chunk of the storyline.
Once I got past that point though I genuinely was sucked into the story. Tabitha (TR) is a reporter working on a little story for her paper when all of a sudden inexplainable things start happening to her. Gordon “Mac” Macgregor is former military and part of Cover Six Security Company and he’s vowed to protect TR no matter what.
This story packs a punch and has a little bit of everything that makes a good book…action, intrigue, romance…now if I had only known about the prequel. I will have to check it out while I wait for the next installment of the series.
THE PROTECTOR: MAC starts in the middle of a scene. Literally, there is no lead up or introduction to the characters or what is going on. I was a little off balance for a little bit until I figured out who is who and how everything fits. I have not read the novella that preceded this story and have not read the series this is spun off from.
This is a mystery suspense that is also a romance. There are a few stories going on at the same time and it was a very interesting way to unravel the layers to get to the core.
This story is full of action and was easy to read from beginning to end. In addition to being about the two main protagonists, MAC lays the foundation for the rest of the series. .I look forward to reading more about this team in future installments to the series..
Thrilling suspense, intense sexual tension and an impressive storyline made for a really great must read. TR and Mac have an intriguing story that pulls the reader in and you can’t help but be caught up in their lives. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
WOW!!!! What a great start to a new “Cover Six Security” series! This is a fast paced intense ride that sucks you in from the very beginning! The story is intriguing and well written. I love Mac and TR! They are pawns in the story filled with mystery, corruption, deceit and revenge. However, these two characters have a past and share some intense chemistry and passion. I enjoyed the banter and by-play in this story. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait for the next story, “The Guardian-Daryl”!!!

The Protector: MAC is the first book in the Cover Six Security series by Lisa B. Kamps. This book follows on from Covered By A Kiss, A Cover Six Security Novella. Even though you could read this book as a standalone, I recommend reading the novella as it is where a lot of the characters backstories are shared, and where their story ‘begins’- although we originally meet them in The Chesapeake Blades Series (I think it’s in Loving Hard- Book #2). So, I guess this is a bit of a spin-off from that series.
Without giving too much away, I can divulge that Gordon MacGregor (Mac) is ex-military who is now working at Cover Six Security, specializing in dark-ops private security. He left the military under a bit of a cloud, which has left him feeling disappointed by the whole experience. He is badly scarred, physically and emotionally- and has a lot of inner turmoil. When he met Tabitha (TR), he was completely bowled over by her- and she seemed to see beyond his outer appearance. This is a woman he could fall hard for. But, instead of drawing her closer, her pushes her away.
TR is a reporter who’s having a bit of an unlucky time lately. She just seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But Mac seems to think there might be more to it . He’s sure there is a real threat to her safety and is determined to do everything he can to protect her. Has the story she’s been working on drawn attention her way and put a target on her back? What lengths will Mac go to in order to protect her? Will he let down his defences and take a chance on love? With a powerful adversary intent on destroying her/them, there is a lot of intensity and suspense that will keep you flipping the pages to discover what happens. Will TR and Mac make it through unscathed, or will their deranged and powerful enemy win out in the end? You really should read all the thrilling details for yourself- you are sure to love it as much as I have! This is definitely my favourite story of Ms. Kamps, so far.
The story has so much emotion, suspense, intrigue, action, drama, romance, revenge, hidden agendas, deception, secrets, lies, risks, chemistry, sizzle- and with such superb characters you won’t want to put the book down until you have read every single word!! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series now!!! Bring on Book #2!!
Thank you, Ms. Kamps!
The Protector: MAC
By Lisa B. Kamps
5 stars
Wow! What an absolutely, amazing read! The Protector: MAC is one of those books that you want to start all over again just so you can experience everything for the first time! I was completely gripped from the very beginning and everything around me ceased to exist until I had finished! I have read a few books from this author in her other series but this book was something else. It was non-stop action with amazing characters! The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough because I needed to know what was going to happen next! And then it ended!! I need the next book now! I need to know what is going to happen! I need more from this wonderful characters and I need more of this author’s incredible writing! Mac and TR were fantastic characters to read about – they had an intense attraction to each other which in turn lead to some great chemistry!
I absolutely 100% recommend this story and I cannot wait for the next one!
The Protector: MAC: A Cover Six Security Novel by Lisa B. Kamps is a mystery,
suspense, romance story that has your heart pumping right from the very start and
doesn’t let up until the final page. There is danger and intrigue, drama and mystery,
twists and turns that keep you on your toes. I found myself lost in the story, where
dangerous liaisons are more than they seem, secrets and cover ups could find you
running for your life and scandals that will bring down those at the top, are the name
of the game. As I navigated along this journey with the wonderful characters and hot
and sexy alpha military men and one sassy woman, I found myself being transported
right into their world along with them. The connection Mac and TR have is smoking
and sizzles right across the pages.
Gordon MacGregor ‘Mac’ is a man that is used to danger, but when he sees the
woman he is in knots about in an accident right before his eyes, he realises he has
never know true fear.
Tabitha Meyers ‘TR’ is a woman who is used to doing things herself. She is one
sweet but feisty and sassy, strong and independent woman, but she soon finds her
life being threatened Mac and his team are the ones to keep her safe. But amongst
all the turmoil and danger, is she at risk of losing her heart to this possessive man in
the process.
I really enjoyed this story and I can’t wait to see what Lisa has in store for the rest of
the remarkable Cover Six team.
The Protector: Mac is the first book in the Cover Six Security series by Lisa B. Kamps. This book is face pace no nonsense book. Ms. Kamps does an amazing job that kept me on the edge of my seat. Mac was a beast of a man with battle scars on the inside and outside. TR has not so lucky recently. There have been some close call accidents and all around bad luck. Is TR off her game or is everything happening to her on purpose? Will Mac and TR figure out what is going on? The heat between Mac and TR is amazing and will they give in to the heat they make for one another?
“The Protector: Mac” will consume you!! Suspense, mystery, romance, revenge and plenty of banter. Loved the characters! Can’t wait for more books from the secondary characters of the “Cover Six Security team”. “Lisa B Kamps” does not disappoint with this one and a fantastic start to her new series. Highly recommend
Having read the prequel novella, Covered By A Kiss, I was eager to jump into the continuation of Mac and TR’s story. The story takes up from where the novella ended and Lisa B Kamps doesn’t ease us in gently. You know early on that this book is going to be explosive! I would definitely recommend that you read the novella before starting The Protector: MAC as it’ll help you to better understand the story and experience the full impact of what takes place in the first few chapters.
The Protector: MAC is loaded with suspense and mystery. You get glimpses of what’s going on in the mind of the killer, but it’s not until the end that all the puzzle pieces are fitted together and we learn the reasons behind what happens to TR. As the story progresses, we’re given a few ‘red herrings’ that make you think the story is going to go one way when it actually goes in a completely different direction. As with the previous books I’ve read by Lisa B Kamps, you’re able to feel the connection between the lead couple. She knows how to make each couple stand out on their own, and no two couples ever come across as the same. Sometimes with series’, the stories and couples can become kind of repetitive or too similar. That’s never the case with this amazingly talented author who keeps introducing her readers to characters and couples they’ll love.
We also get to meet the rest of the Cover Six Security team, although it did take me awhile to figure out who was who due to each of them also having a nickname. Even though the series is a spin off from the author’s Chesapeake Blade series, it has a completely different feel to it, and I’m very excited about what’s to come as each member of the Cover Six Security team get their own story. We’re given hints of Daryl’s story at the end of this one, and as expected, we’re left with questions and the need to have the next book in our hands as soon as possible.

*I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book
This book has a little bit of everything in it including sitting on the edge of your seat suspense. Mac is a warrior that is has more than just physical scars and they run deep. TR has had some bad luck lately, accidents that are just wrong place at wrong time or are they? Are they more than bad luck? Mac will do anything to protect her. Characters bring heat, action and made the story real. I for one can’t wait to see what comes next for this group. I highly recommend reading this book.
The Protector: Mac is book one in the Cover Six Security Series by Lisa B. Kamps. This was an interesting story the push and pull between Mac and TR is addicting. He wants her so bad but hold himself back, when he can, until he can’t anymore. At least once. This is a drama filled story with plenty to keep you wanting more as the story progresses. Mac is an intense character with a past that give him good reason to be the way he is. TR is a little calmer and helps round him out, when he allows it. But what happens when a threat comes out of both of them, can Mac protect her or will he be too late, again.
I have to say that I absolutely loved this book and it is another great series in the making for Lisa! This book took over where the prequel stopped and it was full of suspense, intrigue as well as steam. There was romance involved as well but it was not in your face because Mac is not that guy but it was displayed awesomely for a guy like Mac. TR is in a situation that she never dreamed of putting herself in when doing a “fluff” public interest piece for her paper. She becomes suspicious almost immediately when things begin to be strange but doesn’t see the danger. She enlists Mac’s help to try to ferret out information and his well trained Spidey senses start pinging dramatically. There were several incidences that TR thought were harmless but Mac new better and he does his best to try to get through to her.
Go back a year and you will see TR’s and Mac’s meeting…she has been in love with Mac for a while and he with her but he didn’t think that he deserved someone like her. He didn’t feel like he was good enough because of his past and not to admit the scars both external and internal from his life in the military. In the end, he admitted his feelings because he couldn’t loose her and she loved him for who he is now.
I absolutely love everything that Lisa writes but I really think that she has more hidden talents than hockey and fire romance…this is one and I cannot wait to see the next one in the series. I was offered an ARC for an honest review!
The Protector: MAC: A Cover Six Security Novel
By Lisa B. Kamps
Rated 4 stars
The beginning was crazy good and sucked me in to their story much quicker. That is a good jump start into the story. This is full of two characters who each want to be together but for reason unknown one of them has a “should I or shouldn’t I” going on in the brain. I really enjoyed Mac and TR for different reasons. Mac for being the strong alpha guy! Fully muscled with tatts and a strong desire. TR comes off as weak a time or two but she really ramps up her indignation when provoked. She is also stronger than she gives herself credit.
A bright spot in the book is Chaos. He is as alpha as the others but he has a smart mouth too. Which he proves multiple time when egging on Mac about TR. The back and forth bantering between Chaos and TR really helped make this a lot of fun to read. I loved the conversation in the car…so funny!
While reading I feel like I have missed a portion of their lives. There are many many many references to other events where the two MCs have met in the past. I think those would have been a great prequel or something. It would give more to the hot and cold between them. On a side note..I read at the end of the book that there is a prequel to this so I would suggest reading that first. Mostly to get more of a *feel* of the relationship of the two MC.
This is a good start to a new series. It’s full of fun, hot sexy times and dangers. Many interesting characters that could lead to many places. I look forward to the next and to see what chaos TR causes in the office with the boys.
5 STAR Review by Jodi for Ruby Red Romance Review
When I read the Novella for this amazing book, I was hooked. I needed to know more about Mac and TR. I needed to know their backstory. I needed to know what made them tick. Most of all I needed to know that they found they’re happily ever after with each other. Boy, Lisa B. Kamps did not disappoint.
I loved TR. She’s hardworking, driven, and wants Mac. There’s just one problem, he acts like he doesn’t want her. After a couple of suspicious encounters and emails, TR knows she needs help and the only person who can truly do that is Mac. Mac isn’t the man for TR. He knows this, but he may not be able to resist any longer. When it becomes apparent that TR is in danger, Mac does everything he can to protect her and keep her safe. Watching these two fall was simply amazing. They had real chemistry from the start, but Mac didn’t feel he deserved someone like TR. He’s seen things, done things that no man should ever have to live with, let alone the woman in his life. Once he got past that and opened his heart, I almost wanted to cry!
I loved this story and can’t wait to come from this series. I’m so looking forward to watching each and every one of these men fall.
Omg! What an amazing first book of this new series! Great romantic suspense with wonderful characters! I read an arc copy of this book
A tough, rough and protective Alpha male Mac is about to great the biggest challenge in a ling time!
