Rate this book
The exciting conclusion to the Protector Series!

Natoly once again finds herself without her Protector and his team. This time though, she’s not going to sit around and wait for them to find her. She and Treylia make a daring escape and reunite with Braenin’s team. Natoly feels like the worst is behind her; that is until new information comes to light. Suddenly, Braenin is the one being accused of the attacks on Natoly. He convinces Natoly to let the guards take him without a fight, but that changes in an instant when a seeming ally turns on them and demands Natoly’s capture as well.

Things go from bad to far worse faster than Natoly thought possible. Now, she and Braenin need to find a way to escape, or everything they’ve worked for could disappear and they could very well too. First, they have to escape; then they have to convince the world that the Council is corrupt before it’s too late.

Beloved Protection is the third book in The Protector Series trilogy that features clean romance between a reluctant Luna Princess and her Protector.

PG. some torture. Still a bit wordy in places. I finally started only reading the dialogue. Great imagination. H.E.A. Ending.

Bending was cute. I didn’t really enjoy that much in between there’s just too much capturing.

The first like 50 pages or so from like 50 to 100 is so boring because it’s just her being sad about an event that happened and I understand being sad but she’s vomiting // not sleeping. She’s all traumatized and it’s kinda boring. It is cute that Braenen is there for her.

These books were definitely more traumatic than all other books and I’m not sure I liked that that much so I guess if you want darker still clean version these would be for you

She did it again

A.J.Manney is an amazing writer. I absolutely loved this series as well. I’m about to start yet another series and can’t wait to start Red Rose Rising. I literally have a hard time putting her books down to work. This series, like the Northwoods Pack series, was amazing!!!

I've read all three books in the series and love them. It's an intense love story with tons of action. Natoly drives her protector crazy because she has a mind of her own, but he's totally up to it! I loved the circle of six and the twists Manney has worked into the series. Good job, as usual, A. J.!

Another hit by AJ Manney

The world that AJ Manney has created in this series is so interesting. I got so sucked in to the story, that I read all three books in one weekend. Who needs sleep? These books have action, romance and hot guys. What else do you need?

Loved!

I loved this trilogy! The characters were great. There was humor, excitement, fear, love...all of it! I read all 3 books in 3 days because I could not put them down. A.J. is an amazing writer.

overall good ending

A few things kept me from liking this third book. First, so much repetition in dialogue. Second, I felt the MMC didn’t grow as a character like the FMC. Unique magic system that was new to me.

love, love, love this series!!!

The characters, the story line, endless excitement, love, the endless winning spirit. I’m a shifter gal but this type of series has won me over for life. Love this author.

This was a great series…. It had all the emotions (sad, anger, excitement and more). It was one book I couldn’t wait for the next. The suspense was all there and more.

I read and enjoyed all 3 books in this series. I would like to proofread for this author, as there are many mistakes.

meh

I pushed though. It is well written. Young love. Sci-fi vibe with a HEA. Glad to be done. I am sure there are those that would love this series, it is just not me.

I don't want to say it, but there really was no character growth in this book. The relationship between Natoly and Braenin felt forced; there just wasn't really the spark I expected. I was proud of Natoly though for the ways she handled some of the situations she was in (she didn't give up), but it felt like the same story as the last two books.
