Was a bit harsh. Overall good characters and story. Wouldn’t read again, but I’m reading the next book in the series.

2.5?
Was not a fan of the FMC. Though it was an entertaining book. Steamy scenes were great.

This is book two of the Silver Fox Enemy Protectors and the main characters are Mason Reynolds, a black ops operative and trained killer, and Emma Mitchell, a professional hacker for the CIA after being caught diverting a plane to mess with her cheating ex-boyfriend. Her father asked his best friend and next door neighbour Mason to help Emma avoid prison for treason, and now she is stuck having to catch any breaches in their computer system. It leaves her with no real life as she must respond and stop any breaches immediately. Not that she was much of a people or party person anyway. She has had a crush on Mason since she was about seventeen when he saved her from drowning in their pool. She wants to be able to do more and escape from this never ending sentence she finds herself in, so does a little bit more investigating a series of breaches and gets herself into danger! She tries to report it to her only contact within the CIA, Viktor, but gets a message back from the terrorist who has been hacking their systems. She is now in danger and has no one else she can call to help her, as her phone and computer are compromised.
Viktor is not impressed and rather than worry about protecting her, he wants her punished and made to realise she must do what she is told to and not branch off into actions of her own. Mason however knows exactly how brutal this will be and volunteers to do it himself, only to have massive guilt about it. When he brings her back from the facility, he brings her next door to his own house, not knowing how safe her family home will be now. He doesn’t want to have her out of his sight and he ends up having to comfort her when she wakes up from nightmares about what happened to her. He isn’t able to keep his hands off her, especially when she asks for him, to help her feel safe! When his next mission takes him overseas, he makes her come with him and tells her to stay in the hotel room, but he should have known from her previous adherence to the rules, that she wouldn’t listen, not knowing the real danger she is in! They are soon both in danger and she comes face to face with the terrorist she got involved with through the security breaches she was meant to stop. When they finally return to Mason’s house, the two find sharing a bed easy and find comfort in each other.
But one night gives her a reminder, almost in a flashback of terror, of something bad that occurred and leaves her unable to trust Mason suddenly. He is holding back numerous secrets and she believes she has finally found out his biggest one, through her hacking and computer skills. Emma thinks she is a target and will do anything to get out of her situation and survive. To live! But she is at a distinct disadvantage against trained killers. Was her silver fox protector playing with her all of this time, or is just really bad luck that she keeps finding herself in these situations? A far from normal romance story, with both main characters working for what they believe to be a small team within the CIA cybersecurity department. Mason has seen her grow into this beautiful and super intelligent young woman, but as her father’s best friend, tried really hard to ignore her advances and obvious love for him. A large age gap romance with the added danger of terrorists and the betrayal from someone you trusted completely. Emma thought she finally had the man she had wanted since she was a teenager, but her job is now leaving her in doubt of his true intentions and who he really is. She has to figure out who Mason truly is and whether he is truly being her protector or her assassin. Lots going on and at times you can think she is being a bit stupid and ends up in trouble of her own making, but she is not very experienced out in the world, just on her laptop! She learns quickly and is lucky to have him in her corner as she finds out in the end. Not your normal romance and some definite triggering points to watch out for. The final reveal about their jobs was very well done and quite shocking. Loved it. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

Suspense and Romance, Yes Please
Reading this book honestly felt like watching an episode from “Covert Affairs” and I was all for it. I loved it. And who doesn’t love a good age-gap romance? Unless that’s not your thing, which is completely fair. I loved this book and I think it’s safe to say that I found a new favorite author.

My Silver Fox Protector just became my favorite book that Lauren Cole has written. I have enjoyed her other books, but this one was just WOW! Lauren completely drew me in from the very beginning and there was no stopping, no putting this one down until I read the very last page. It was so good that I could read it again. The book was predictable, but that didn't take away from the story at all. Lauren did an amazing job coming up with a unique and intriguing plot that had tons of action from the very first chapter all the way through until the last chapter. Mason and Emma were beyond lovable and I found myself easily connecting with them making this a wonderful reading experience. I can't wait to read Lauren's next published book.
Mason helped his best friend's daughter Emma get a job with the government to protect her from a serious mistake she made as a teenager. The funny thing is that he has had to continuously protector her in some way or other ever since. Emma has been in love with Mason since she was 16 and that flame is still burning strong. Now that Emma is an adult and no longer a teenager Mason has a difficult time fighting his desire for the woman she has grown into. After a serious incident that endangers Emma's life Mason has brought her into his home to protector her. He not only has to protector her from herself, but more importantly an unknown danger that lurks in the darkness...one that wants nothing more than to silence Emma forever. Mason refuses to let anything happen to Emma on his watch and will sacrifice his own life if that is what it takes to keep her alive.

Emma is living a lonely life. All because she got angry and used her hacker skills without thinking through the consequences. Now she owes her life to a black ops section of the CIA.
She hasn’t really learned her lesson about consequences and that’s where Mason comes in. He’s her dads best friend, her childhood crush, and unbeknownst to her also her secret team lead.
Their boss isn’t a good guy and when Emma keeps getting into things she isn’t supposed to trouble comes her way.
Mason does what he has to do to keep her safe. First in her house while he’s pretending to be a terrorist out to get her, then in Iran when she can’t follow instructions and stay put, then when they get back to the states and she’s still looking into things she shouldn’t be.
The book doesn’t come with a trigger warning but the scene in Iran and the one at the party are a pretty detailed. If SA triggers you then consider staying away. In one instance, the deed doesn’t happen cause Mason is forced to take over and in the other it’s stopped right before.
The book was completely unique and different from book 1. Nothing really at all said to indicate Mason’s level of wealth. Guess the author just vaguely wanted to tie the books together into a series.
Overall, I liked the book. Though, Emma comes across as a bit of a cry baby. The things she goes through are pretty bad, it’s just how she handles it doesn’t necessarily show the strength Mason keeps admiring in her.

This book was fun from beginning to end and so much the type of thing that I love to read. Give me all the suspense with a love story too and I am SO THERE! My Silver Fox Protector is the story of Mason and Emma. When Emma was a teenager, Mason helped arrange for her a job with the government to protect her from some mistakes that she made. He has continued to intervene in her life, ultimately because her father is his best friend, but he is drawn to her also. The thing Mason doesn't know is that since she was 16, Emma has had a crush on him too. Now that they are both adults and it's not illegal anymore, they have a hard time remembering why they shouldn't give into their attraction. When Emma's life is endangered again, Mason brings her into his home to protect her. Will Mason be able to figure out who is threatening Emma and protect her from danger? Will they be able to figure out how to navigate a relationship or is it just fun while they are staying together?

I haven’t finished it, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to. You have to go to the website for content warnings, and they’re not all accurate. It’s not just attempted SA, there is actual SA. Sorry not sorry, but the MMC having sex with the FMC so the bad guys don’t SA her, is still SA. For both of them. So, yes, there is actual SA in this book. And it pisses me off when people don’t acknowledge that men can be SA’d, too.
And the fact that he repeatedly hurts her so someone else doesn’t hurt her worse is not sexy. It’s not hot. It’s disturbing.
The author is talented. It’s not poorly written, and it’s, for the most part, well edited. I’m just not emotionally equipped to brush some of the content off.

Emma is a hacker and gets into trouble because of it. Her dad's best friend Mason helps her and she ends up working for the CIA. However, that doesn't keep her from crossing lines she shouldn't and Mason steps in again to keep her safe. Its not long before things heat up between them. Will he be able to help her this time? Will they admit to how they feel?
This is a great story that will draw you in from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Emma got herself in a bit of trouble and in order to get out of it her dad's best friend got her a job with the CIA. She's a hacker but has a curious mind. When she digs in deep where she doesn't belong things are about to become all too real for her. Mason has a job to do and it's called protecting Emma at all costs. But now she's crossed a line and he's not sure if he is able to get them out of it. People want her dead and the agency wants her gone. What will they do to survive it?

Hard to finish Emma was beyond TSTL. They keep talking about what an amazing hacker she is but she is quite literally always being caught and can’t cover her tracks even if her life depended on it. Miscommunication tropes always bug me but this shit was next level.
FMC knows MMC works with the CIA and yet is surprised he has secrets? Zero survival instincts and constantly whining. She was always whining and acting like a child with all the confidence and non of the skill .

Exciting and Suspenseful
Lauren Cole knows how to get your blood pumping and heart jumping with his story. It is full of excitement, suspense, twists, turns and spicy scenes. Mason and Emma are great together and their chemistry is explosive.
