Love and Protect

Elite Force Security #3

by Christina Tetreault

Dating a coworker can be complicated, but who knew it could also be deadly?

While Maddie Dempsey doesn’t need a man to express his undying love, she wants one who can commit to her for more than a weekend. So despite her attraction to him, Maddie’s kept her coworker, Keith Wallace, a man who doesn’t know the definition of commitment, in the friend zone. Or at least she thought he didn’t know the meaning until recently.

Keith’s friends believe he prefers no-strings-attached relationships because he’s afraid of commitment. But that’s not why. He’s just never met anyone he cared enough about to stay with until Maddie. And when she finally gives him a chance, Keith intends to prove to her they belong together.

Unfortunately, someone from Keith’s past isn’t ready for him to move on, and she’ll do anything to remove Maddie from the equation and have him back in her life.

Love And Protect is the third book in USA Today best selling author Christina Tetreault's Elite Force Security Series. While it can easily be read as a standalone story, you'll likely enjoy reading the other books, too.

Maddie and Keith . . .

Maddie Dempsey and Keith Wallace work together for Elite Force Security. Maddie had avoided a relationship with him because he appeared to be a no-commitment type of guy. But with Maddie, he is ready to commit. However, Keith’s ex wants him back and has become a dangerous stalker who threatens Maddie’s safety. Will he protect her? Will she accept that they do belong together?

This was a page turner from the get go, I loved we finally got to see Maddie and Keith have their chance at love. We get a romance mixed in with danger due to a cray cray ex which makes this a rocky road to love but fortunately not only is the attraction between Maddie and Keith is strong.

This is book three in The Elite Force Security series and it is Maddie and Keith's story and it is definitely a must read. Maddie and Keith worked for a Elite Security Company and even though Maddie and Keith are attracted to each other and Maddie wanted someone who didn't shy away from commitment of relationships but will Keith be able to show and prove to her that he just hadn't found the right woman that he wanted to commit to until he met her but will she believe him. When they start seeing each other and forging a relationship they have a stalker from his last who is determined to get Maddie out of the way so that she can get Keith back but will be be able to protect and keep Maddie safe giving them a chance of a happy ending which is what they both deserve. I couldn't put this book down and read it in one sitting as it was a real page turner and so addictive and I can't wait to read more book's in this series.

I Voluntarily Reviewed a Copy of This Book.

Player Keith finally acts on his attraction to his coworker Maddie, but for a change he wants more than a short fling. Their romance heats up and gets serious pretty quickly, but he’s being harassed with dirty texts from someone else. I wanted to shake him for blowing it off and not considering one of his exes. Even though we know early on who it is it the interactions after Keith and she broke up made it clear she should have been suspect. The suspense in the book is mostly from this and not Keith and Maddie’s jobs. I loved reading about the places they visited.

For two books I’ve been waiting for Maddie and Keith to become a couple. We knew it would happen and they were basically a couple during the second book. However, considering their dangerous security jobs, I thought the suspense/action portion of the book would have been a bigger deal. I was a bit let down considering the action in the other books. I was given an early copy of the book and wrote my review honestly, unfortunately it just wasn’t my favorite in the series.

Dating a coworker can be complicated, but who knew it could also be deadly?

A story line that pulls you in from the start and keeps you glued to the pages while you try to patiently find out what will happen next. The characters are well developed and even though they're coworkers they have chemistry that can't be denied.

Trying to find stability in A crazy situation

As their romance is heating up crazy things start happening. He's settling down while some is making his life crazy. I enjoyed figuring out who was stalking. It was the sweet romance that hooked me. The author easily and smoothly transition you from both parts of the story. Kind of didn't want the story to end.

Maddie made me mad with her character quirks, but Keith is a sweetheart that I adored. I loved their story and the slow-burn angst of the plot.
