Rate this book
Get ready for cover-to-cover brooding, growly heroes and the women who make them melt! The Protector Series is a steamy, action-packed ride that will leave you breathless! Book 1: His Vow I vowed revenge, and nothing can stop me. Nothing… except her.

Fifteen years ago, Senator Nathan Blanchet destroyed my life and ripped my family to shreds.
Then, I joined the Marine Corps and became a man.

I served my country,
...and I bided my time.

Now I’m back, and the senator has to pay.

This mission is headed straight for success.
Nothing can get in my way, until I see the senator’s daughter.

Sadie Blanchet is all grown up.
With those sweet, innocent eyes and never-been-kissed lips, I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep my vow.

Revenge is sweet… but Sadie is sweeter.
Before I know it, I have to choose between vengeance...
… and love . Book 2: His Oath Being a U.S. Senator is my dream job... until my new bodyguard walks in and turns my whole world upside down.

Chris is the brooding, silent type, and he does something to my insides...
He turns them into a hot, sticky, not-befitting-of-a-public-servant, unholy mess .

When he swears an oath to protect me, I must admit my heart flutters the tiniest bit.

But as the danger around us heightens, I start to wonder who Chris really is.

Is he here to protect me, or is there something else going on... something he's not telling me?

When everything falls apart, I don't know if my new hero will still be by my side...
...and that scares me more than anything. Book 3: His Word My high school sweetheart is trying to ruin my life… again.

A decade ago, Freddy Finch betrayed me. Now he’s back, and he wants me to be an undercover asset for the CIA.

When I think everything is going well,
when my paintings are finally selling,
when I might actually make it as an artist...

He shows up. He’s wicked, brooding, and every girl’s most sinful fantasy.

… including mine.

No problem, Finch. Just ruin my life, why don’t you. Again.

I’m stuck between a rock and a very large, very hard place.

But as the operation gets more dangerous, Freddy becomes more irresistible. I have to choose between trusting the man who betrayed me, or closing my heart off to him… ... forever .

About the author

Lilian Monroe

85 books1,438 followers
Lilian Monroe lives in a luxurious jungle treehouse surrounded by lush greenery, with an army of scantily-clad men with rippling abdominal muscles ready to attend to her every need.

No, wait. That's not true.

Lilian Monroe spends her days dangling her feet into her pool, while a scantily-clad pool boy with rippling abdominal muscles feeds her chocolate-covered strawberries and massages her back.

Okay, okay. You got me. That's not true, either. Let's try again.

Lilian Monroe lives at home with her two children, three dogs, and twelve chickens. Her husband likes to work shirtless in the back yard. His sweaty, gleaming abdominal muscles ripple with every movement and he—

I'm sorry. I have to stop. Fine, I'll admit it. That one isn't true either.

How about this: Lilian Monroe loves thinking about men with rippling abdominal muscles serving her hand and foot, and she wants you to think about them too! She is an avid reader, writer, and lover of all things romance.

She loves everything from bad boys to billionaires. Her books are packed with sizzling-hot heat, action, suspense, and everything from second chances to single dads. She hates cheating and loves a good happily ever after (and rippling abs).

This is the boxset of CIA romances that make up the Protector Series. This book was originally released separately and have now been combined together into a set. There are three stories in this set: His Vow, His Oath, and His Word. Each book has a happy ending and no cliff hangers. All three books do interconnect since the three men, Zane, Chris, and Freddie, all work for the CIA. Their stories all kind of stack together. Book two picks up after the fall out from the ending of book one.

I really enjoyed this set of books. It’s definitely different from anything that the author has previously written but it’s a good kind of different. I enjoy romantic suspense novels, so this was right up my alley. Each book is fast paced and entertaining from start to finish. There is enough twists, turns, action and adventure that keep me turning the pages and not wanting to put the book down.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Good read

Three interconnected stories about CIA operatives whose personal lives conflict with their professional lives. Seems to me that the CIA needs a better screening process given that in each story they fail to turn up serious conflicts of interest that compromise their agents. That said the stories are quick reads with some sexy time. The first heroine is a bit too naive to believe but the heroines in the subsequent stories are more take charge and stand on their own to save themselves from the danger the operatives who are also their mates, bring into their lives. I would read other stories by this author.

Perfect blend of romance and action

Great set. I loved that each story built off the last with the CIA guys. Each story had its own unique romance going on in connection to an operation. Each story was interesting and complete and could have been read as a standalone. It didn't get redundant throughout the series which makes the read more enjoyable .

The Protector!

I enjoyed reading this series about C.I.A. and the men involved in the missions. With every case the men involved changed their mission for the woman they wanted to protect.
