Saving Katie

by Karen Hall

Reporter Anne Hamiliton is determined to rescue her missing niece Katie and her friends from the clutches of The Cadre, an organization that trafficks teens. After an attempt on her life kills her street “snitch,” Anne’s boss calls in Brotherhood Protectors. Help arrives in the very tall, very handsome Keith “Mac” McPherson. Their attraction is immediate and passion simmers beneath the surface. But as the attempts on Anne’s life increase and with time running out, this relentless duo must pull out all the stops to find and save the kids, while hoping for their own happily ever after. Brotherhood Protector Lt. Keith, “Mac” MacFarland’s guilt over the death of an Afghani family he befriended still haunts him. When assigned to protect a pretty reporter being threatened by a ruthless gang of child traffickers, he’s not sure he’s up to the task. But refusal and failure are not options-because Marines(even retired ones) don’t give up. Sparks fly when he meets Anne Hamiliton and desires long sleeping threaten to erupt as they join forces to find a group of abducted kids. As their search leads them from danger to danger, Mac and Anne must stay alive long enough to rescue the kids and bring their abductors to justice before there’s no time left to plan a future together.

This was a fantastic book. I liked the Scottish vibe and Mac. Anne was a good match for him, tough and a warrior. There's danger, sadness, heat and a HEA. The only problem I saw was in chapter 9 there were some repeated story lines.

[Ela La1978 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lordy, Mac is something else. That Scottish charm is amazing. The Tennessee Task Force and BP take on another case. So many secrets, revelations and lies are a puzzle to solve. But the best are the surprises, you will not see them coming but you will love them!

Yet another fantastic book written within Elle James Brotherhood Protectors World.

Karen Hall is a new author to me but one I would definitely read again. I absolutely loved Mac and Katie.

Their bond and chemistry was deep and meaningful. I loved all their interactions and the path they walked down to their own HEA.

This is a wonderful and addictive rollercoaster ride and I would recommend without hesitation.

Definite 5 stars

Gonna need some handkerchiefs…

This story has your heart racing from beginning to the end!
Reporter Anne Hamilton doesn’t hold back, but this time she gets in over her head and she needs the Brotherhood Protectors to keep her safe and help located her kidnapped niece. And if “A tall drink of water.” is protecting her, so be it.

LT Keith Mac Macfarlane has his hands full with this protection detail. A beautiful, feisty, journalist could be his undoing, in more ways than one. As their attraction grows, so does the danger. Shocking details emerge in this baffling mystery. And the bad guys always seem to be one step ahead. Then the unthinkable happens and Anne is taken. Can Mac save Anne before it’s too late?

Anne Hamilton is a reporter 9 years for The Excelsior.
Henry Cooper is A Confidential Informant.
Stanley Harris is Anne ‘s Boss.
Keith “Mac” MacFarlane is a retired Marine.
Pastor Cole pastor of the Church of Living Water.

Anne and Mac meet and she is resistant for a bodyguard which makes their relationship ascending and descending roller coaster of a ride. Finally she
concedes after several incidents happening.

Can Mac win her over with his Scottish charm and have a Happily Ever After.

I love the way Mac carries himself and that Scottish Charm!

This book has danger, suspense, romantic Scottish charm.

Great Job Karen Hall !!!!

Great line do you want to tie him up with my pantyhose.

(4.5) I love the inter twinning of Brotherhood Protectors World and Tennessee Task Force. Anne is an investigative reporter. Mac is ex service, Marine and BP. Saving Katie has alot of twists and turns. It also involves trafficking (dealt with very lightly) homegrown militia, and the cadre. Saving Katie packs a wallop, has some humor and the romance made my heart swoon. It was dealt with a G, PG and still managed to evoke all the bells and whistles. The ending.....grab a tissue. Thank you for the arc. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions. #SavingKatie #BrotherhoodProtectorsWorld #TennesseeTaskForce #KarenHall #TwistedPageLLC #Bookfunnel

Katie is a reporter who seems to make a lot of enemies. Now she's trying to locate six kids that have gone missing. When her informant is killed Max who's a retired Marine and working for Hank is assigned as her protector. There's plenty of danger, suspense, secrets and chemistry between these two that will keep you reading. This is the first book of this author's I've read and I'll read her again.

[Delaine Mclafferty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lt Keith MacFarland, a member of The Brotherhood Protectors was sent to protect Anne Hamilton, a reporter who is trying to find her abducted niece and 5 other teens that went missing from her hometown. When the threats keep coming and the snitch that has been supplying her with information turns up dead, it makes the job of finding out who doesn’t want them interfering. This is a great book that I recommend.

Find The Teenagers!

Saving Katie: Mac still was struggle with what happen when he was in the military. He is part of a task force and brotherhood protectors! He specialty if tracking predators who take young people. His new assignment was protecting a reporter and find 6 teenager that were kidnapped. In Anne's mind she didn't help but then things started happening a she realized she needed Mac and BP. It was a wonderful story!

[BecReadReview · Rating 5 out of 5]

A mission, a purpose is what you get when you dive into this. Suspense dodges you as you read while you laugh at the banter between these men who fight for justice. Sweet yet smouldering heat between Mac & Annie is not to miss. Read it! Honest review!

[Kristi Malloy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved

This was a really good book. Anne was a reporter and her Niece had been kidnapped with 5 other kids. Mac was hired through brotherhood protectors to guard her and help find her Niece.

Saving Katie: Brotherhood Protectors World (Tennessee Task Force Book 2)

Great story. It was sad about the children who were kidnapped. The intricate plot of not one, but two groups of horrible people kept you guessing as to who they were.

Rethink Hero's

Bit sick of tall,dark,handsome hero's, not all military personal came home unmarked without visible scars and not all are movie star looks.
