Protector's Honor
It's instinct. When NCIS agent Rory Farrell hears a woman scream, he reacts. But even after he saves her from abduction, Rory can't get the beautiful and fragile Tabitha Beaumont out of his mind. Especially when he finds a connection between Tabitha and his latest murder investigation. She needs protection--Rory's protection--while Rory needs answers Tabitha doesn't even realize she holds. Yet how can he find the truth without betraying Tabitha's trust? Soon, Rory must decide what matters most--keeping his objective distance, or keeping Tabitha, in his arms and under his protection, forever.

I am going to be the bad guy here....I dnf'ed this book. I couldn't take it.
This book was written 2009 but reads like a romance novel from the early 90s. The "hero" is pushy, overbearing and seems unable to understand the word no when it comes out of Tabitha's mouth. Tabitha is described as "beautiful and fragile" yet you meet her when she's on the last legs of doing a freaking triathlon!!! Yeah, that bada$$ woman is real 'fragile,' if you mean super physically fit. Sure she's 'smal,l' cause the damsel in distress from a 90s, I mean 2009, romance novels need to be cute, petite and 'helpless'.
Rory (the hero) is supposed to be this ex-marine, NCIS investigator whizz. But ugh. The author literally has him describe his job as "like the tv show" which somehow Tabitha has never heard of, but whatever. like the tv show? Most law enforce complain that the 'tv show' is nothing like their actual job. Ugh.
The first time she tells him no he legit points out that she will never make it to the top of the incline on her bad ankle. But after he cajoles her into allowing him to piggyback her up the hill, he takes it as license to touch her and pick her up whenever he wants. She literally tells him no AND HE DOES IT ANYWAY!!! Can we just remind folks that consent (for everything) is a sexy sexy thing and as a Christian novel they ought to be all about that really. You should not think it's fine to be scooping a woman into your arms without permission and then REFUSE TO PUT HER DOWN WHEN SHE TELLS YOU TO, particularly when you just met. No, just no.
Not to mention that he, an NCIS investigator, just goes and blabs everything that happened to her to the bloody check-in desk person of her hotel like a regular gossiping gabby Abby. Professionalism? NAH!!! Tell the whole town!!! Perfect!!!
Anyhow, I obviously dnf'ed this because I just couldn't handle the level of 'nope, not cool' happening. If you like a good early 90's overbearing hero with a meek damsel in distress type romance of the christian variety, this one should be right up your alley. It was, however, not up mine.
1.5 stars, at best, for the section of it I did read.

I loved this book. It had a handsome Hero. Tabitha also won over my Heart. I normally don't read Christian books, but this book I couldn't put down. It had lots of action parts that kept me on the edge of my seat. It also had those tender moments that had me saying awww how sweet. I loved that the charactors had strong morals. The message in the book was my favorite part. Our situation may seem impossible, but nothing is impossible to God! I would recommend this book for all loves action and romance books.
Here is a sample from chapter 8.
Authorized vehicles of all shapes and sizes lined the street in front of Tabitha's red brick rancher. Lights flashed. Radios squawked. Uniformed and plainclothes law enforcement personnel hustled to work the scene. Tabitha took little notice. Her only concern was Sasha. Those men from the mountain had found her home - ruined her home - and hurt her friend.. The note they'd left had her trembling, wondering if she would ever feel safe again. Holding Sasha's hand, she stood silently as the paramedics worked on her.
