HAYDN (Steele Protectors 5) is the 5th book in USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, ALL Amazon #1 Bestselling Contemporary Romantic Suspense series, Steele Protectors.
Author’s Note: Beware of the very sexy & very alpha Steele brothers. These books are HOT!
When Haydn Steele left the army five years ago he vowed to leave his life as a military sniper behind him and instead concentrate on his equally lethal abilities as one of the most accomplished computer hackers in the world. He could still bring down the people who needed bringing down but this time without putting a bullet through their head.
When Hailey Frost is threatened and put in danger that decision no longer applies.
Hailey works for Steele Protectors as one of their most capable agents. She keeps herself, and her private life, exactly that. Private.
Including the feelings she has for Haydn Steele.
She’s wanted Haydn from the moment she met him but she won’t allow him to be put in danger by becoming embroiled with her and the demons from her past.
But keeping secrets from a man like Haydn is virtually impossible. Literally. Stopping him from becoming involved once he knows what those secrets are, even more so.
The irresistible force is about to meet the immovable object.
Which one of them will emerge the victor?
Or can they both win, by admitting their feelings for each other before it’s too late?
Next and last book in the series is LUCAN (Steele Protectors 6)

As a high fan of this author's work, I had no doubt this would be a great series and I wasn't disappointed. Haydn is like the other brothers, alpha Male, strong, and fiercely protective. I strongly suggest you read the books in order so you can know all the characters that show up in each book. I hate the fact that Lucan is the last in the series, but, as with all the other books by this author, the can be read again and again.
I can't stand TSTL heroines who have people who are able to provide the exact help you NEED to live but yet you're too 'independent'. Doesn't make you independent just makes you stupid
Carole Mortimer’s 250 book. Congratulations on writing so many fabulous books. I mostly read Historical but if Carole Mortimer is putting out a new series, I’m there.
Haydn is one of the Alpha brother, of the Steele Protectors, all the boys following in there fathers footsteps as much as possible.
Haley is employed by the company and Haydn has eyes on her from the moment she joined them 12 months ago.
Intrigue, suspense and sexual tension follows them through out this book, real page turner.
Ms Mortimer included nearly all of the brothers in this book.
Highly recommend the whole series as there is only Lucan story to come, then the series will be complete, and I sincerely hope we are treated to another series by Ms. Mortimer.
Sexual content
I bought this book in appreciation of the authors work.
Awesome, intense, rivetng, and compelling. Overall quality of writing was really good. Proofreading needs attention. The storyline and characters are well thought out and well rounded. Ms. Mortimer has continued this series with the same detail to quality from book 1-5. You'll love the Sparks, steamy intimacy scenes, the sexy alpha Hayden and strong and sassy Hailey. No cliffhanger or cheating and you get a happy ever after. Enjoy.
This is a pretty typical Carole Mortimer read. Hot alpha man meets virginal festy heroine. As this is one of her hotter reads there was some hot sex scenes. Overall, I enjoyed it. It didn't grip me as much as some of her other novels. The Steele protector books are too short in my opinion they just don't have the character development I like. If you like Carole Mortimer books you like this novel. It is an enjoyable read.
Poor Hailey. What a screwed up family life. Thankfully Haydn was able to protect her. The ending was peaceful and the introduction to Lucan and Becca was accomplished.
Loved this book ! Full of adventure, action and all of the Steele’s brothers and their significant others. Hailey has been working with Steele Protectors for a year and since joining the company Haydn has been smitten. It is great watching the dynamics of the two of them and their situation.
