JAGUAR
FBI Agent Elliott Thompson has been given an assignment he never anticipated would be so protecting Calley Rippatoe, a sensationally talented cellist who captivates every man she meets. Calley's allure isn't just her beauty or her ability to play the cello with unmatched passion; it's her spirit that makes her a magnet for both admiration and danger. Then there is the cello, Emilia. No, it’s not just an instrument—it's her promise to her late great-grandfather, and nothing will make her part with Emilia, not even the threat to her life.
Elliott, a rookie agent, is thrown into the deep end with the task of protecting Calley, a woman who tests his patience and professionalism at every turn. His frustration with her is obvious, yet underneath it all, he understands the need to shield her from the mysterious threats closing in on them. As he uncovers the depth of the danger she faces, Elliott decides to take her to the one place he believes she will be safe—a location so secret that not even the most determined adversary could find them. The moment they arrive, Elliott is thrown into a world wind of unsuspecting drama that only he can resolve.
Elliott and Calley navigate their tumultuous relationship while piecing together the mystery of who wants her dead and why. With every revelation, Elliott finds his feelings for Calley deepening, complicating his duty as an agent and status as a single man, which he is not ready to relinquish. As danger looms and emotions run high, Elliott and Calley discover that sometimes, the most dangerous threats come not from the outside world…but from within their own hearts.
The only thing more dangerous than the threats around them is the chemistry between them.

This one was just okay for me, and I cannot believe I said that. It did not have the flair and dangerous sides as usual. Yes, we saw Sapphire, Joshua, Al, Douglas, Brian, the President, James, and the next generation working together to solve a problem..... but... the passion was low-key. Calley was cute and Elliott was Elliott. See what you think.

When you pick up a book by Iris Bolling to read, you expect to find danger, romance, drama, secrets, lies, and maybe murder, and something being blown up. The shocker is when it comes and who's doing it.
Elliott Brian Thompson is ready to get his life started as an FBI Agent. His goal is to capture the evil men and use his caramel love jewels whenever the opportunity arises. A phone call put his plans on hold, sending his life into a tailspin, as he tries to avoid the obvious.
Calley Rippatoe is a no-nonsense lady, says what is on her mind, and means it, even with danger following her around every turn. The banter she had with others was direct, hitting just the way she wanted it to.
Get ready to laugh, cry, cuss, and talk out loud. Look for the nuggets, and remember the pop-up characters.

Jaguar was GREAT! Loved Elliott “Caramel Lover” Thompson and Calley Annabella Rippatoe. The many twists and turns kept me up at night. I could not put the book down. Can’t wait for the paperback to come out so I can add it to my Iris Bolling collection!
Thank you for yet another great read Iris! ❤️❤️
Looking forward to the next book which I assume is Calvin, Jr. seeing as how Jaguar ended and Iris is saving JC for last.

Great Job
I didn’t know what to expect with Elliott story but I could not stop reading this book. The suspense start on the first page. You did not disappoint. Called was made for Elliott. She brought the Carmel lover to his knees. I love how you bring in the other family members and friends. I wasn’t surprised with Joshua showing up but Al, Douglas and Mateo. I love the connections. You out did yourself on this book.I loved it. I can’t wait for the next generation book.

Predictable
The story started interesting and a page turner. After the six chapters i thought it was
getting predictabe. It was nice catching up with old friends during the story.
I love this Author,
been a fan for years starting with the
Heart series. I will be waiting on Calvans adventure. I have a feeling there's going to be
action pack with some explosion if Joshua's involved.

WOW!!
Ms. Bolling continues to create outstandingly great stories. I think Jaguar is by far the best in this series. Everything was great! She brought everything together. Had me cheering like when the calvary arrives. 😂 Definitely a must read, but you should read the previous books first.

I enjoyed this from beginning to end. There were some things many twists and turns throughout the story that it kept my attention. I’m enjoying this series and seeing the next generation with Elliot, James, Calvin and JC, grow into men and find their own way while maintaining their brotherhood just as their fathers did before them.

Elliott Thompson and Calley Rappatoe with a bang him trying rescue her and she gives him a swift kick. Then the job of protecting her became his mission. One look and Calley knew that Elliott was her man for life.Elliott was a little except that fact, but after almost losing her bro made a 360 . This was my best read this year.

Excellent read
Excellent read, I enjoyed to characters and storyline. Elliot’s (Jaguar) embarking on his new career as FBI agent is blindsided when he meets a woman Calley, that sparks an instant attraction. This is their journey to love while he protects Calley from dangerous forces, and discovers destiny.

fun read
Wine this is a fun read especially if you are a fan of these characters. I loved the older generation appearing in the plots too. With the state of our current politics these plot no longer feel like fiction. They are scary REAL

Good read
I always enjoy any book by Iris Billing and this one did not disappoint. I took away one star because her characters never talk like regular people. Try using contractions to sound like real people talk.

Excellent book. I wouldn't change anything in this story. Happy to see characters from the other books appear in this one. Can hardly wait for Calvin's and JC's stories. Come on though for us Iris. I know you got us.

Loved the entire book especially when Joshua showed up. I can't wait until Calvin's story comes out and I hope the wait isn't as long as between Jaguar and Panthers

Wow!!! I waited and Elliott and Valley's story was excellent. They meant in an unorthodox way, but it was beautiful.
