The Sleeper SEALs are former U.S. Navy SEALs recruited by a new CIA counter-terror division to handle solo dark ops missions to combat terrorism on U.S. soil.
Plagued by survivor’s guilt and a bad knee, SEAL Maddog Maddox left the Navy and buried himself in a mountain cabin in Colorado where the only creatures he hunts now are those he puts on his table. Slowly going out of his mind with boredom, he’s on the verge of throwing himself off a cliff when an old friend, his former commander gives him a reason to live. His mission: Team with special CIA operative and assassin to reveal a terrorist on home soil.
Raised by her father in the Crazy Mountains of Montana, Jolie Richards learned to fire guns before she learned to do her hair. When her father was killed by a careless hunter, Jolie joined the CIA to get as far away from Montana and the emptiness of a home without her father. Her skills as an expert marksman land her as an assassin. When she kills one of a pair of brothers radicalized into ISIS, she becomes the target. In order to flush out the ISIS threat, she sets herself up as bait, but takes him to familiar ground in the Crazy Mountains. Used to working alone, she finds she’s been assigned a partner. She just hopes he stays out of the way of her accomplishing her mission.
Together Maddog and Jolie team with the Brotherhood Protectors, a protection agency comprised of former military members, to expose their enemy before he can kill more innocents.
** Montana Rescue ** is part of the Brotherhood Protectors Series. It is also in the “Sleeper SEAL” connected series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. They do not have cliffhanger endings. Each book in the multi-author branded Sleeper SEAL series can be read stand-alone, and individual books do not have to be read in any particular order.
Award-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she's traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. Ask her, and she'll tell you what it's like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it!
Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. A former manager of computer programming and project management professionals, Elle is happy she now has the opportunity to pursue her writing full time.
A retired SEAL joins the Protection unit as a sleeping SEAL. An undercover situation. It’s a bit poignant to wonder who is getting rescued from the title. Is it the hero or heroine? Without spoilers - both. The job comes to the SEAL as he stares over the edge of a cliff and wonders what his life is about. The heroine comes home after years away and is emotionally distraught. Over and above the emotional rescue, there is a threat from a terrorist and a local gang. The pair team up and the attraction is instant. Rescue ensues.
I’m glad these two found and can support each other.
Montana Rescue is the seventeenth exciting tale in The Brotherhood Protector series and book 6 in the Sleeper SEALs series, and a tale of loyalty and courage, and looming threats jeopardise their lives and the lives they swore to protect. This story not only highlights the fierce devotion of its alpha heroes but also emphasises the importance of connection and resilience against a backdrop of uncertainty and danger.
Montana Rescue is high-stakes danger with romance, action, tension, and suspense. Along this journey, a team of former military heroes dedicated their lives to protecting others. I am loving this series, and the characters are sexy in this series. It's Insta-love, but still a good read.
The camaraderie, their loyalty to each other, make for more than a brotherhood, it makes them family.
Thanks Elle a great story for Mad Dog! I loved it and I was thrilled with the Brotherhood Protectors angle. It is wonderful that you stepped up production and did not compromise content to give Sharon time to recover from the fire. Bravo really great story! Did they ever crack that new box from the market?

Will Mad Dog stay or return to his solitary life? Will Jolie sell the ranch or realize that its where she wants to start a new life with the man she loves?
Navy Seal and CIA Agent waiting for a terrorist in Montana.
This Brotherhood Protector book starts with Mad Dog trying to figure his life out after an injury ended his military career as well as loosing his best Navy buddy. He almost pitched himself off a Colorado peak. Hired to help a CIA agent track down a terrorist he heads to Montana. Jolie is all alone in the world. Having been raised on a ranch she was very close with her parents. Her mom died when she was young and she and her dad were two peas in a pod. He died while out hunting and she herself was lost. She left eight years ago for the CIA. Jolie works alone and isn’t crazy about someone watching her back. She is sure the terrorist is following her as she is waiting for him to show up. In the beginning she and Mad Dog just coexist. Then the ice melts and they work together. I had to read the end twice because it didn’t make sense to me. Everything worked here except the terrorist and the motorcycle gang. The terrorist guy hadn’t been in town long enough to lead these “kids” and no real understanding of who these kids were was covered. I also felt for a CIA agent Jolie was sloppy in the end. I felt this was a three and a half stars but I rounded up.
Montana Rescue is the seventeenth book in The Brotherhood Protectors Series (Sleeper SEALs Series Book #6) by Elle James. This series is a great blend of romance, action, and suspense - which is all set against the rugged backdrop of Montana. These books introduce us to a team of former military heroes who dedicate their lives to protecting others, all while navigating their own personal battles. Ms. James’ characters are definitely the heart of this series, and each protector is uniquely crafted, with a mix of strength, vulnerability, and charm. Their camaraderie and loyalty to one another also creates a sense of family that adds an extra element to the stories/series. These plots are fast-paced and packed with twists, cleverly blending high-stakes danger with heartfelt romance. Whether it's a SEAL turned cowboy, or a sniper finding love amidst chaos, each book delivers a satisfying mix of adrenaline and emotion. Elle James also weaves in themes of redemption, trust, and healing, making the series not just entertaining, but also heartfelt. With gripping storylines, endearing characters, and just the right amount of heat, this is a series that will leave you eagerly reaching for the next installment. Happy Reading…
Take one retired Navy Seal and a CIA agent with a terrorist planning on revenging his brother's death and you have the premise of Montana Rescue in one sentence. But this book is so much more and you won't be able to put it down. Mad Dog and Jolie are an unlikely pair until you get to know them. He had always worked as part of a team and her work is always alone and yet the man with no family and the woman who had a great family find a way to come together in such an amazing way it will make you smile. Character development and secondary characters play such an intequal part in this book I love the Brotherhood Protectors and Hank Patterson. Hank and Sadie remind me of Wolf and Ice and that is a good thing. Love Elle James her books have such strong visuals that you are almost right there with her characters.
Oh what an intriguing story. This story is about Caleb (Mad Dog) and Jolie. Mad Dog was considering suicide when Hank found him and told him to get in touch with Lambert. Needless to say, this changed his life for the better. Jolie didn't think she would be able to go back home because of all her memories of her ranch. When these two met, Jolie wasn't too sure about Caleb but soon changed her mind after a few mind-blowing kisses. It was a shock to find out who had killed her father and it is a shame he turned to crime. He lost his mother because of his crimes. At least the terrorist was neutralized. Once the threat was gone, these two learned more about each other and their love grew. Caleb proposed and Jolie said yes. I am happy these two found their happily ever after. FANTASTIC job Elle! I would recommend this book.
A very enjoyable read. It was good, but there were errors, not just grammatical, but errors of names as well.
Caleb "Mad Dog", a medically retired Navy SEAL, needs a purpose to continue in this life. Luckily, his previous commander is helping him. He has someone who needs him for an assignment. Little did Caleb know he would be assigned to a firecracker of a CIA operative. Jolie returns to her family ranch after eight years, she is luring an ISIS terrorist to her. She is shocked to learn she has been slumped with a hot SEAL on her mission. She does not need him. Therefore, these two have their work cut out for them before they can neutralize the terrorist who wants to team havoc o. U.S. soil.
What a great read for Thanksgiving! Totally recommended this to any one who loves and action packed seal story. This author never disappoints. This is a story about Jolie and mad dog.she's a CIA agent and he's a retired seal,called up to flush a terrorist out. Full of action and romance. Not to mention a little reunion with some of my favorite men and women. It's like a real, although fictional, family gathering. Thanks for the stories, keep them coming. I like to recommend the other series my this author ,and those of the other writers who collaborated in the sleeper seal series. They are all wonderful writers with great stories to tell!
This was a well written story. This is the second book of this series I have read/listened to. While I have purchased the whole series, only this and two others have been made available in audio so that moved them to the front of my reading line! This is a standalone book but I feel I enjoyed it more knowing some of the secondary characters and locations. Besides this author always provides a wonderful tale so you should buy the D force series and enjoy those also! These characters are ones that are easy to like and your happy they get a HEA! The storyline kept me engaged from page one to the end!
It's really sad about her dad passing but at least she knows the truth about what happened 2 him. She doesn't blame 4 A simple accident. Even though she works 4 the CIA on a mission she has maddog 2 help her. When the terrorist comes 4 her what will happen? I'm glad Six was ok in the back of the truck. It's crazy how this terrorist managed 2 get others 2 try and do his dirty work but the sight of the ages on the others where surprising. What will happen 2 her and maddog, will they have any help and survive or will everything go up in smoke? I liked it alot how they kinda saved each others hearts without knowing it.
Depressed after his friend is killed in action right in front of him, Caleb "Mad Dog" Maddox accepts a job partnering a CIA agent intent on smoking out the terrorist who put a target on her back. Jolie Richards is nothing like he expected and everything he ever wanted. To get their HEA, they'll have to agree to join forces to eliminate the danger, once and for all.
This is another great story in the series with a hero & heroine made for each other.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.
Loved this story and this author's style for telling the story. I'm not familiar with this author but that's the joy of reading series written by multiple writers. I will be looking into her other stories. Now back to this one, he was literally standing on the edge of a cliff contemplating jumping. She had returned to her childhood home with a terrorist on her trail only to be overcome by memories of her parents deaths. Both of them had to overcome overwhelming loss to work together.
Another great read for an amazing series in the Sleeper Seals with a touch of Brotherhood Protectors. I always love reading about strong and smart women who find themselves in a predicament. It's such a great storyline made very realistic. I love reading about a second chance for Mad Dog. Together, Mad Dog and Julia make a formidable couple. Lots of hot and sexy scenes. Can't wait for the next installment of Sleeper Seals and Brotherhood Protectors.
Montana Rescue (Sleeper SEALs Book 6) by Elle James is an excellent read. This well written book has an interesting plot and complex characters. Book focuses on the story of Caleb and Jolie. These two have great chemistry and generate plenty of heat. Book offers action, suspense, drama and romance to provide a brilliant blend of page turning excitement. A great read and an excellent addition to this series. I am posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.
Montana Rescue is the sixth book in the Sleeper SEALs series. This story is filled with suspense and action and a budding romance. Jolie is used to working on her own and being one of the top snipers for the CIA. She has been targeted by ISIS and leads them back to her family ranch to limit innocent casualties. But before that happens, help arrives in the form of Caleb. Will they make a good team? Can they eliminate the threat? I really enjoyed this story. This is one not to be missed!
I enjoyed getting to know Mad Dog & Jolie. Having seen them mentioned in a previous book, I was curious. It must be noted that o. The timeline their story must fall before Viper's even though this is book 17. Emma is still a baby even though she's 3 at the end of book 16. And most of our couples are still engaged. But nevertheless, its a good story with a badass heroine and a hero that needed to be reminded that there are happy endings.
A great series showing veterans are still capable to give protection to Americans after serving their country proudly. It's a joy to find someone who can understand the military veteran, who are able to continue to use their skills after service to this country!
Love the Sleeper SEALs series. You never know who you are going to save or who will do the saving, but you can always count on a hunky hero and a beautiful, smart heroine. And Dog 🐕 really nailed the hero label and Julie the heroine. Until the next.......................
I’m a series person and if it involves military personnel I’m thrilled. The stories in this series can be read in any order but I like the one two three order so that’s how I read. Every story has been great and this one was no exception. Hope you will read this series and enjoy as I have.
Another great read. Maddog was medically retired do to an injury. He didn't feel he had anything worthy to contribute, so he was living in a log cabin deep in the mountains to be alone. Jolie is an CIA agent and headed home to her ranch in Montana to lure a terrorist who is after her. Together they fight the odds and grow closer in the process. Another great read from Elle James as usual.
Very, very, very cheesy and extremely predictable. The female character is supposed to be a “badass CIA agent” but spends the whole book running from pesky animals and being completely clueless to her surroundings. I rolled my eyes too many times to count. I will not be reading any more books by this author.
I really enjoyed reading this story . Its action packed, well written, great characters, full of suspense and intrigue. Part of the Sleeper Seals series. I highly recommend this story and the whole series. Such a great storyline. A must read.
Exciting with lots of action and adventure. Great well developed characters, many who are in stories of their own. I love when u read a book and can catch up on other couples from the series.
This series is the best. Mad Dog had so many issues to overcome. Having found a way to become a better person was easy with the help of a good woman like Jolie. They both needed each other.
Ice agents goes home to take out a terrorist. She gets a partner she doesn't want one But hes makes himself useful. The chemistry between then is quick and they want too see where it goes and she finds out who killed her father.
Making my way slowly through the Sleeper SEALs series. This was fantastic as it brought in the Brotherhood Protectors. I love the series with Hank and this book tied in so well with the crew in Eagle Rock. Jolie and Caleb had a nice meet cute with the racoon and a good story overall.
