This was my first book by this author but won't be the last. The suspense sucked me in from the beginning, while the romance was both sweet and steamy. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.
Connie's job at Layton Executive Protection Agency keeps her busy and satisfied, while her social life is a disaster. Thanks to events from her parents' marriage and a romantic betrayal, Connie has some trust issues when it comes to men. Despite one incredible night with security specialist Trace Halstead, Connie refuses to enter into a relationship with him. She claims that she won't date anyone she works with, which puts Trace on her "no-fly" list.
Trace is one of the firm's top security specialists. As the story opens, Connie and her boss have to end his current assignment because their woman client makes inappropriate advances. Meanwhile, Trace can't forget his time with Connie. Though known as a ladies' man before that, since then, he quit going out with other women. Connie is it for him, and he won't give up on getting her to give him another chance.
The book gets off to a running start when a trip to the bank lands Connie in the middle of a bank robbery. To make matters worse, she made eye contact with one of the robbers and saw enough for the FBI to try to make a start at identifying him. When Trace finds out about it, he worries that the robbers could come after her and makes protecting her his mission. Being independent and stubborn, Connie doesn't want to believe that she's in danger but is shaken enough to welcome Trace's company that first night.
I loved Trace. He wants Connie but respects her decision about a relationship, so he does his best to keep things platonic. I liked how he took care of her, cooking for her, just hanging out with her, and being a friend. Connie is just as attracted to Trace but fears risking her heart again. It was fun to see them get to know each other better with things like Twenty Questions.
Meanwhile, the intensity of the suspense increases with possible sightings of the robber and the question of whether he knows who Connie is. An intense confrontation at a fashion show followed by her house's firebombing seems to indicate that he does. I was on the edge of my seat as Trace and Connie barely escaped. I enjoyed seeing Trace and his brother Langton work together to identify him before Trace and Connie headed off to a safe house.
I loved seeing Connie and Trace grow even closer as Connie relaxed her no dating rule. Their happiness despite the situation was fantastic, and Trace looked forward to the end of the case and moving forward with their relationship. Then Connie misunderstood something she overheard, bringing her old fears back to the surface, and accused Trace of being like her ex. I ached for Trace, who was hurt and angered by her lack of trust in him. I had to laugh when his friends staged an intervention, making it possible for him to be there when she identified the robber for the police. But just when they thought it was all over, an unexpected twist put Connie in danger all over again. I was glued to the pages until she was safe in Trace's arms, and they finally admitted their feelings for each other.

3.5 Stars. I really enjoyed this romantic suspense novel set around LEPA security. I thought Connie and Trace were great characters- Trace is a little old-fashioned in style, but I liked that and I liked him. Connie was strong and independent and a little damaged but her character arc was believable and enjoyable.
The premise is that VP of Operations at LEPA Security, Connie, witnesses a bank robbery and is able to identify one of the bank robbers, putting her life in danger. Meanwhile LEPA Security Specialist, Trace, and Connie, have unfinished business and with Connie’s life in danger, they might finally get to address it, as Trace refuses to let her out of his sight.
This was action-packed with interesting twists and turns. The only minor nitpicky issue I had was that sometimes the suspense parts were a little unrealistic, the character’s actions a little irrational and Trace, a teeny weeny bit tendencied to patriarchal ways of “my woman”-ing. It didn’t bother me and indeed I thought it was sexy, but it contributed to a vibe that made me feel a way especially when Connie did what she did and had to grovel. These are not major issues and I enjoyed this book in general, but they were kind of “small stone in the show” bothersome. I thought the supporting characters were wonderful from Connie’s sister to Trace’s brother and best friend, there are lots of characters I won’t mind reading more about . I definitely hope this author does more with this series because I’m into it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin Books.

His to Protect was my first book by Sharon C. Cooper, but definitely not my last. I found her writing style to be so compelling and engaging, I was flying through this book! The chemistry between Trace and Connie was really well-executed and I loved all of the secondary characters in this book.
Essentially, this book is about Connie, who is the VP of a personal security firm and she goes to the bank one day and the bank is robbed while she's there. She gets a decent look at one of the robbers and from there, things are off to the races. Trace is one of the employees at this company and he's really attractive. He and Connie also had a one night stand a month or so ago, but Connie has a rule against dating co-workers. However, with Connie in danger, Trace pretty much refuses to leave his side.
The only thing I didn't like about this one is that I still don't really understand what happened with the bank robbery and the other incidents. Like... it just didn't make a lot of sense the way things wrapped up. I was with it until like the last 10% and then I was just confused. However, given how compelling the writing was, I still think this book was excellent and would definitely recommend.
Thanks so much to Netgalley and Harlequin for the opportunity to read this book!

Another hit from Sharon!
I so love reading her romantic suspense! Hunky heroes who feel, and can throw a punch when you need him to; heroines who are sensual, whip smart and can kick butt when necessary, and a plot with an element of danger that keeps the storyline racing and engaging. There's also a clever twist that I didn't see coming!
Super well written (wish it was in audio, hint hint Harlequin)... looking forward to the next book.

Connie Shaw enjoys her career as the Operating Officer of Layton Executive Protection Agency.
She has a great relationship with her friend and owner of Layton Agency, and a loving supportive
relationship with her sister. However, according to her history with the opposite sex, she has horrible taste in men and vows to never mix business with pleasure.
Trace Halstead was an exception to that rule when she let down her guard and they had a one-night stand. After that she promised to keep it light and not let their relationship go any further since Trace was one of the Security Professionals at the agency. For Trace, that one night stand with Connie was unforgettable and he would like to pursue their relationship further.
Connie’s life is in danger being a key witness during a bank robbery. Trace vows to protect her
becomes her bodyguard until the robbers are apprehended. Connie and Trace draw closer to each other and finally give in to not only their attraction but to the possibility of something more.
What I enjoyed about this book is the unexpected characteristics you discover in the main
characters, more so in Trace Halstead.
I also enjoyed reading the underlying reasons for Connie’s
reservations with men & relationships which not only stem from her past boyfriends but other familial relationships as well. I was getting a little frustrated with Connie’s almost unrelenting independence in trying to handle her anxiety & fear on her own, and not letting her friends or family help her. It did showcase Trace’s patience but also his persistence in being there for Connie. Add in the suspense of uncovering who was after Connie along with the romance between Connie & Trace and you have a great read like watching a Lifetime movie.

Everyone should have such a protector!
Trace and Connie have a romantic connection even though they work for the same security firm where Connie is VP. During technical difficulties with her phone banking app, Connie finds herself having to make an in person trip to her bank. While there she witnesses a bank robbery! From there things spiral into one nightmare item to another. Through it all, the one security specialist that everyone requests is right by her side to the very end! Mrs. Cooper has woven a suspense romance novel where bad guys are more cunning, evil and cutthroat than one would ever suspect. Is there anywhere Connie can be safe while the FBI works to catch the bank robbers? Trust me you are going to want to read all of this story to find out all of the ends and outs, how the story ends with Trace and Connie and ultimately some surprises that you won't see coming at least I did not see it coming! This is another hard hitting, fast paced suspense novel that will have you biting your nails, sitting on the edge of your seat, yelling at the characters among other things. One thing is definitely for sure, you are going to love every last word of this story from beginning until the very end! Great job Mrs. Sharon C. Cooper, a really really great job

Constance (Connie) Shaw is VP of Operations At Layton Executive Protection Agency (LEPA) that is owned by her best friend, Trinity Layton-Brooks. Business is very good and it’s Connie’s job to make sure it stays that way. While the business is thriving, Connie’s personal life is not doing well, and that’s due to one man, Trace Halstead, security specialist at LEPA. Connie and Trace have irresistible chemistry, but according to Connie’s rules, Trace is off-limits. As far as Trace is concerned, some rules are meant to be broken.
When it comes to writing Romantic Suspense, talented Sharon C. Cooper is one of the best in the business. The tension that is caused by outside forces is just as potent as the sexual tension between Connie and Trace.
HIS TO PROTECT is a well-written, engaging story that will keep you turning pages. The connection between romance and suspense is natural and believable. I recommend it for your reading pleasure.

3.5 Rating- The story is concerning a security firm, both main characters work there. You find out as the reader they’ve had a one night stand. It’s just that one night because the female character doesn’t want to start anything since they are coworkers plus due to something that happened in her past. The male character goes along with the decision but he wants a relationship so when the female is at a bank and a robbery happens it brings the two main characters to revaluate there relationship especially when the female character might be in danger from one of the bank robbers.
First time reading a book by Sharon C. Cooper. It wasn’t one of those story that you couldn��t put down because it took me a while to finish it. Once I committed to the story, I enjoyed it. It didn’t have any special moments that I look for in romances maybe that’s why it took me a while to finish it. I did enjoy the author’s writing. I will continue to read this author’s books.

This book had suspense, intrigue, sauciness, drama, and unrequited love. Basically, it had it all! I really enjoyed reading about Trace and Connie and to have had the privilege of seeing their relationship strengthen when they were put to the test by outside sources and chaos.
The suspense aspect of the novel made it that much more interesting and I feel that everything Connie and Trace went through really made them closer and drew them together. Trace was so sweet and protective of Connie and I loved hearing about his backstory and how he became the man he was in the book. Connie was a strong, independent, smart and capable woman and She quickly became one of my favorite characters that I’ve read about in awhile.
The writing was casual and really allowed me to get in the heads of both Trace and Connie and I think that the story had just the right level of steaminess to it.
Overall, the book was a great read, easy to follow, and full of action. My only complaint would be that I wished more would have been explained as far as the robbery goes and why David decided to go after Connie too when he potentially had nothing to do with it.

This was the first book I read in the Harlequin Romantic Suspense line so I didn't know what to expect going into it.
That being said. This was absolutely a fun read! It took longer to finish this than I anticipated because I found myself putting it down after every chapter to give my husband my unsolicited recap and predictions of events to come. (Also, some stupid behaviour from Connie lol)
This was more towards the romance side than the suspense, so if you are looking for an action packed suspenseful book this may not be the best option for you. But, if you like heavy romance with a sprinkle of suspenseful drama mixed in then I can't recommend this enough

A good read
Enjoyed reading this book. The writing flows easily and effortless. The characters were well developed and likable. The lovemaking was off the chart. I love when good overcomes evil and the bad guys get what they deserve. The women are beautiful and strong but also vulnerable in seeking someone to love.

She was his to protect—a botched bank robbery with the heroine a witness to the theft. She needed security protection. Connie and Trace were the perfect pair for this lovely story; you will discover why the eyes tell tales in this book.

Trace and Connie
Connie was afraid to trust because of her father and Trace had been hurt by the father of an old girlfriend but their love for each other was strong enough for them to work through their issues.

How things can wrong in a blink of an eye
Connie had no idea going to the bank on her lunch would effect her life so dramatically. This story was full of life or death situations, love, romance friendships and surprises.

Kept me guessing
There was definitely some suspense ful moments and for some reason, I didn't see the ending coming. I guess distracted by the mild romantic drama. A bit tame, but not a bad read.

Enjoyable
The author continues to amaze me with her writing. The terrible actions that brought, "Connie and Trace" closer. Thrown together to become closer acquainted was a positive. Will there be another book featuring the sister and her body guard?

Nonstop Drama! I loved Trace! This is a great story with numerous plot twists. I appreciate Ms. Cooper emphasizing how sexual harassment can happen to males also. It is not limited to women or perpetrated by unattractive people. Also age is not a limiting factor.

His to protect
New to Me. Cooper books, enjoyed the plot, especially the twist at the end, with the twin affect. Look forward to other reads.

It was good
The ending was a bit different than what I expected but none the less it was a good story. Hopefully the sisters book is next.

Kept me on my toes with guessing who was the killer. But happy to know the twist was something I finally had right.
