Saving Jenna by Elle James
Brotherhood Protectors: Yellowstone #7. Contemporary romantic suspense. Spin-off series of other Brotherhood Protectors. Ex military with PTSD.
Ex Nacy SEAL Cliff Cranston left the military after seeing too many deaths and too much war. He drops off a friend in A Bozeman, Montana hospital and runs into FBI Special Agent Jenna Jenkins as she’s trying to catch the janitor that kidnapped her new born niece. Cliff stays to help Jenna search and to protect her sister, with help from he Brotherhood Protesters in tracking names and background for anyone that knew the sister or about the baby.

Fast moving action as the search for the baby is immediate as Jenna desperately wants to find her niece. Immediate attraction as Cliff and Jenna feel comfortable working together and more and get help from the main organization. Some predictable motives as the author leads the reader through videotape searches and background profiles. A misleading clue gives a twist as we get to the kidnapper. A formula, yes, but a great romantic suspense read.

I’m running out of words to express how much I love these Brotherhood Protectors as the series builds!

Elle James shows us her incredible ability to create both a fictional world and relatable characters that are just exactly what we crave as romantic suspense readers!

Cliff and Jenna are both strong in their own way, but combined….well I won’t give away any more details! You’ll have to give it a try to find out just how brilliant this story is!

Highly recommended!!! Five stars all the way!!

Another amazing story from the brotherhood protectors series, Yellowstone branch. Cliff is a retired navy seal and Jenna is a special FBI agent. They meet under unusual circumstances but their encounter not only will immediately bond two people as if they have known each other for a while but they also get the chance to solve an interesting case. The story is very fast paced, the hero and the heroine are two dynamic people and their involvement into each other is intense. This book is the perfect example of love at first sight.

Saving Jenna is book 7 in the Brotherhood Protectors, Yellowstone series by Elle James and sure do love the BHP’s.

Ex Navy SEAL, Cliff Cranston has just excepted a job with the Brotherhood Protectors and is currently at the hospital with a buddy who had emergency surgery, he suddenly has a panic attack and plows through the stairwell door only to collide with FBI agent Jenna Jenkins, who is in pursuit of the man who has stolen her sister Brittney‘s newborn baby girl.

Cliff and Jenna team up to find her niece, but what happens next is…suspense, sparks, secrets, PTSD, panic attacks and so much more…


I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was able to read this book in one sitting. I thought the title of this book was interesting. I suppose it's accurate because Cliff and Jenna's relationship, as well as the support Cliff provided to Jenna, could be considered saving Jenna. Also, seeing as how Jenna was the FMC, it fit. Lol.

I liked the way that Jenna did not blame her sister. She was 100% supportive from the very beginning. I could not imagine being in Brittany's situation.

I also liked that Cliff and Jenna's attraction to each other was not mutually immediate. Although fast paced, it took a bit more time for Jenna to get there. Another thing I appreciated was Cliff didn't try to take over. He was perfectly willing to let Jenna take the lead and have her six.

This was a fast paced read. There were plenty of clues that did not immediately lead me to the bad guy. As I was writing this review, I realized there was a modicum of involvement from a number of suspects.

I was glad to see Jenna and Cliff get their HEA, and Brittany get her good news. An entertaining read that I would have enjoyed even had it been a longer. I did have to reread the final clues and conclusion again. That was a personal choice. I was reading so fast, I went back to savor the ending, lol. I did have one question. How did his wife find out? I would give this 4.5 stars.

I absolutely adored Cliff and Jenna’s story. Although any book by Elle James is guaranteed to be a wonderful read, this story was beautiful and poignant and walked straight into my heart.

I love the appearance of Hank and Sadie. It’s so heartwarming to watch how they have grown since we first had the honour of reading their journey to HEA.

Jenna is a beautiful badass character. She’s independent with a backbone of steel. Yet, once you get past her outer shell you find an equally beautiful soul who deserves love.

Cliff is a man suffering from his time serving his country. Yet, he’s strong and protective and everything Jenna needs. He’s a perfect addition to the Brotherhood Protectors.

Watching these two characters wade their way along the rocky path they traverse to find the precious treasure and realise their feelings for each other was heartwarming and stunningly beautiful.

Once again Elle James has given us a pretty perfect read. Her true ability to bring her character to full technicolour life is awe inspiring.

Can’t recommend highly enough.
So many stars it’s impossible to count.

This story is an easy read that takes off at a fast pace. Cliff is a Navy Seal who has joined the Brotherhood Protectors after his last mission left him with PTSD, panic attacks, and the feeling that he has just lost too much over the previous few years. Jenna Jenkins is an FBI agent who found out her younger sister has had a baby, is in the hospital, and needs her help after leaving her boyfriend. Jenna loves her sister and will do anything to help her. Cliff and Jenna meet when they collide in the hospital hallway while Jenna is chasing the person who just stole her sister's baby. Wanting to help Cliff and Jenna team up and go on an action-packed chase to find the baby. Since the story takes off so quickly, we get to know Jenna and Cliff better as they work this case. It was nice to see the support of Hank and Saddie as they stepped in to help. Another good addition to the Brotherhood Protectors Yellowstone series.

Saving Jenna is written by Elle James. This is a Yellowstone Protection Brotherhood book.

Jenna Jenkins is an FBI agent in Boseman, Montana. She had joined the FBI right out of college and loved her work. She lived alone with her dog. She got a call from her little sister, Brittany, telling her was in the local hospital. Rushing over, Jenna was totally shocked to see her sister liind; but then she found out Brittany had a baby.

Cliff Caseman was a former Navy Seal and was on his way to join the Brotherhood in Yellowstone. He was at the hospital because he had brought a friend in for surgery. As Cliff was leaving, he literally ran into Jenna as she raced down the stairway trying to catch the person with her sister’s baby. She just had to catch him.

The book was great as Elle’s books always are. It is easy and quick to read. Just the thing to read to while away on a summer day.

Once your on the train in the Brotherhood Protectors you don't want off. You want to ride it for ever. Another great addition to the series. The stand out point for me is Jenna is not in trouble seeking help or running from a problem. Jenna is an FBI agent. Score! A women whose strength and capabilities are front and center. When her sister's baby is stolen she and Cliff (our ex Navy SEAl, the newest Brotherhood recruit) are on the case. It's fast paced, some twists and of course our intimate connection with Cliff and Jenna. Having Hank and Sadie be a part was icing on this warm, tasty read. I will say the title threw me, I still can't wrap my head around the connection. Thank you for the arc. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions. #SavingJenna #BrotherhoodProtectors #Yellowstone #ElleJames #TwistedPage #Bookfunnel

This is a superb addition to the Brotherhood Protectors Yellowstone division and like all of Elle's books it is a fun fast paced read that keeps you engaged This one is a little different in that FBI Special Agent Jenna Jenkins isn't in danger and if she was she is quite capable of protecting herself no she needs help to track down who ever has stolen her sisters new born child. Retired Seal Cliff Cranston a man totally destroyed by all the inhumanity he has seen is the one tasked with helping her after all he was at the hospital when the baby was stolen. Soon he is developing feelings for his new partner but she may take a little convincing that they are meant to be but once they ignite they are a uncontrollable fire. This is a fast paced book where danger comes from every angle and keeps you engaged until you turn the last page

Love is the last thing they were looking for

Jenna literally crashes into Cliff's world and their collision leaves Jenna breathless and dazed...but not in a good way! They may have a slightly rocky start but Cliff knows there is something special about Jenna, he is determined to help her, support her and protect her as she searches for Blakely. It's fast and neither one recognises this strange emotion, they just know they are better together, can they build their new lives together? Make it their future, rather than two individual futures.
This book is slightly shorter than others in the series, but there are plenty of twists, false leads and truly evil people to keep Jenna on her toes as she wades through the murky waters to the truth. There is a slight confusion when Jenna becomes Jenny, but a great book in the series and it is always nice to see Hank and Sadie!

Cliff and Jenna have a bit of a bumpy start - meeting when a new born baby has just been abducted from the hospital that Cliff has just dropped a military buddy at.

Jenna is smart, independent and a complete butt-kicking character. She is a great FBI agent, male, female or otherwise. She put up with her ex for far too long and now she won't accept anything less than fireworks.

Cliff may have PTSD from his time in the SEALs but he's not finished serving just yet. He's found a new way to serve and his first assignment has led him to the intriguing and feisty Jenna. Whilst Jenna technically isn't in need of saving throughout most of the book, she does need a helping hand to get out of a sticky situation.

Jenna is a badass female character. She's an FBI!! Just for that I already like the book. Then we add Cliff, an ex-military who has a heart of gold with PTSD. They make a good team, and the connection... wow. A lot of action, and the element of suspense.. It's remarkable.

Sadly, I don't like the end. There's so many unresolved problem.

Jenna Jenkins works for FBI regional office. She is a strong Independent woman.
Cliff Cranston works for Brotherhood Protectors Colorado and is a former Navy Seal. He is an alpha protective male.

LIFF AND Jenna met while he literally ran into , having an PTSD episode, after being with a friend having emergency surgery for fall stones.

Cliff and Jenna work together on the case to find Jenna’s sister baby was
kidnapped. They have been over all the evidence and with the help of the Brotherhood Protectors computer man they did get a led on the case.

Can they solve the case and have a Happily Ever After? You will have to read the book to find out.

This book has suspense, intrigue, twists , turns, and lots of emotions.

Great Job Elle James !!!!6

Former Navy SEAL Cliff Cranston has recently been hired as a member of the Yellowstone Brotherhood Protectors. On his way to his new job, he stops to visit a friend at the local hospital and accidentally bumps into FBI Special Agent Jenna Jenkins who is running hoping to find the person who kidnapped her sister’s baby.
From that moment on, they join forces in this action packed story filled with whodunnit , a hunky former SEAL, a strong and daring woman, and of course romance.
Another engaging story in this much loved series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I purchased a copy of the steamy post-military instant attraction romance Saving Jenna: Brotherhood Protectors Yellowstone book 7 by Elle James and this review was given freely.
Action-packed and suspenseful. I enjoyed the fast-paced story and romance but did not care for the extended gymnastic intimate scene.

The day before he is to join the Yellowstone team, PTSD-suffering Navy SEAL Cliff Cranston literally runs into FBI agent Jenna in the hospital, where she is chasing the kidnapper of her younger half-sister Brittany’s newborn baby.

18+ For an intimate scene and violence.

Jenna rushes to the hospital when her sister calls. Surprised to find out that her sister had a baby girl. Later her sister is attacked by her baby is stolen. Jenna runs into Cliff as he is leaving the hospital and decides he has to help find the baby. As the newest Yellowstone Brotherhood Protector he calls on them for help.
Once again an action packed adventure that has you reading until the end. When you think you have figured it out, a twist is thrown in to the mix. Another great read in the World of the Brotherhood Protectors series.

Cliff may no longer be a Navy SEAL however the aftereffects of his time served still affect his life. He has found a new team with the Brotherhood Protectors however a chance encounter with Jenna sends him on a mission to save a baby, but it turns into so much more.

Jenna is an FBI agent who is used to protecting others, but she was unable to protect her sister and her baby. She is determined to find the person responsible, and Cliff is just the man to help her.

Both Jenna and Cliff are strong characters who take us on an action-packed adventure as they help those who are most vulnerable and find each other along the way.

When FBI agent Jenna goes to the hospital to see her sister, she is shocked to learn she is a new aunt but the joy is quickly gone when her niece is kidnapped from the hospital. Cliff is at the hospital as well with his friend and as he is leaving, he runs into Jenna who seems to be on a mission and can’t walk away. The two join forces along with BH to search and find her niece before she is lost forever.
A good read with some steam, suspense, and great characters as they race against time to find the baby. I liked these two, a strong female and the man who is not intimidated by it.

Introducing Cliff the newest at Yellowstone.

Jenna comes to the hospital to see her little sister Brittany. Surprisingly Jenna discovers she is an aunt. Less than a few hours later the baby girl has been kidnapped. Cliff, the newest member of the Brotherhood Protectors out of Yellowstone is at the hospital with a friend and literally knocks Jenna down in the stairwell.

Jenna, a FBI operator and Cliff with his first assignment look for the kidnapped baby and an adoption baby ring they stumble into. Help from Hank and Swede and some good detecting gives a happy ending.

Short story, not a lot of action, needed more zip.

A family affair

Jenna and Cliff. A brotherhood protector and an FBI agent. A surprising first meeting and a case close to the agent brings them together. Attraction is fast, but both have hesitation due to previous experience and the case trying to find the new born. Hank and his wife really step up and so does Swede in this story. The end took some twists, and had more than a few potential participants, but not too shocking as I had questioned the kidnappers a few times. Many people got a happy outcome and I loved seeing Stone’s dad and the west Yellowstone team surround Jenna’s sister with support and love to get her and a baby Blakey on their feet!

When you are asked by Hank Patterson to become a Brotherhood Protector out of Yellowstone, Montana, it doesn’t matter if you have a touch of PTSD, you just say yes and give your start date. When you have a panic attack and run into a stairwell straight into a woman coming down the stairs at a fast clip, knocking her into a wall, your panic attack is gone, and you are trying to help her. This book will lead you on a chase until the end. It’s a great addition to the series. The Brotherhood never gets old.

Another great book in this series. Cliff is a former Navy Seal and a new member of the Brotherhood Protectors in Yellowstone. Jenna is an FBI agent. They meet in a hospital, when Cliff accidentally slams a door into Jenna when she’s running downstairs to catch a man that just stole her newborn niece. The man got away, but the action, anxiety, angst, mystery, suspense and romance does not let up. I received an ARC of this book for an honest review, and I loved it. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait for the next book in the series. I recommend this book.

Jenna is at the hospital with her sister who has just given birth. When she leaves to get something, her sister is attacked and her newborn infant is kidnapped. While running down the stairs to catch the kidnapper, she runs into Cliff! He follows her downstairs, but they can't find the kidnapper. When he followed her upstairs to help, because he is a new hire with the Brotherhood protectors, she decides to let him help her. This story was a nail biter that never slowed down, & I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
The Book was sent to me for an honest review.

I love the Brotherhood Protectors, and this book has the added bonus of not only Stone, but also Hank and Sadie. It’s also a truly good read, although I have to say that the start is actively distressing because you just FEEL what’s coming. Cliff is now one of my favorite Protectors too; he and Jenna are an awesome pair as they hunt for Jenna’s sister’s baby, and wow the twists that throws up! I heartily recommend this book, and if you haven’t read any of the Brotherhood Protectors before – this is going to hook you in.

Love Circles A Child

There are many in life that traffic babies. Sad business no matter what the circumstances. Sometimes people involved make the situation even sadder. This book encompasses the extreme sadness along with love of those involved bringing end to the few involved in the actions of baby selling. My heart hurt for those who lose their way but cheered for removal of the "monster" orchestrating the baby sale market. Many lives become effected by the ugliness of actions. Great read.

Saving Jenna

Slightly a misnomer as Jenna wasn't actually in trouble, it was her sister Brittany's baby that was missing. Along with Cliff, a soon -to- be brotherhood protector they search for the missing baby. I liked the main characters, the storyline and the writing style. For me though it was a little short and finished quickly with a few investigating techniques that were surprising for any law enforcement agency.
It's a quick read and I hovered between three and four stars.

This story is set in the West Yellowstone division of Brotherhood Protectors. This is the story of Jenna, an FBI agent and Cliff, a former Navy Seal. Jenna's sister Brittany has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Just that fast, the baby is stolen from the hospital and Brittany has been assaulted. Jenna and Cliff literally run into each other and they are racing against time to find the baby and who has stolen her. This is another hit for Elle James! Loved it!!

Cliff is on his way to work at the Yellowstone branch but has stopped at the hospital to help a friend who is having surgery when he runs into Jenna literally an FBI agent. Jenna is after the person who took her sister's baby from the hospital. It's a race against time to find the newborn. We watch their relationship grow as they continue the search, and we see how Hank and Sadie show up to help which shows how the brotherhood stand together. Another hit for Elle James.

Another great chapter in this series. The characters are special, each unique and individual for each story. Jenna, a kick-ass FBI agent and a new Brotherhood Protector, Cliff. Literally, running into each other. I loved their frank conversations, and how he could easily read her, a few humorous conversations, e.g., BOB! I loved how they connected and how they worked together. Another feel-good read for this series. I love reading these stories.
