Protective Cop

Claimed #3

by Lena Little

When a guy just won’t take no for an answer I know I’ve got a problem…a big one. But when I’m rescued by a hulking, hunky cop I know I’ve got an even bigger one…him. I should have my nose in one of my college textbooks, but instead all I can think about is studying this protective policeman’s anatomy…that thick chest, those broad shoulders, his masculine jawline. No wonder why my hormones are working overtime and for the first time in my life I know I’ve found the right real life man to explore all my fantasies with. He protects my heart and serves my body, but when danger comes calling again will my possessive police officer be able to save me in time or will our relationship come to a screeching halt…forever? This is a standalone, steamy, instalove romance with a guaranteed HEA. No other woman drama. No dubcon. No cliffhanger.

This was a fun fast insta-love romance and I loved how protective Mike was towards Ellie. Their romance was intense with the threats to Ellie but the love, and steam ;P, shone through. I loved the bonus epilogues to spy on their future ;D

I voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Ellie hadn’t really wanted to go out that night but her roommate Laura managed to drag her out. She’s thinking about leaving when Mr Goatee decides she his for the night and escaping him was no easy feat. In her escape she bumps into Mike, they have an instant connection and when he discovers the reason for her tears sets about making sure he’s removed quickly. Needing to get herself together she’s disappointed when her knight isn’t anywhere to be seen. Thinking it’s safe for her to leave she sets off home but Mr Goatee has other ideas and she’s dragged into an alley. Just when she thinks that this time she’s not going to escape her avenging knight reappears, she is saved for a second time, by the same man who turns out to be a cop, is fate trying to tell her something and is she safe from Mr Goatee?

Mike was off duty for the night and stopped by the bar to catch up with a friend, he wasn’t expecting to be playing a knight in shining armour but when Ellie literally crashed into him he is hooked. So when he discovers what she running from and those tears to be running down her cheeks he knows that he would protect her with his life. After dealing with that he’s unhappy that he can’t find her, thinking he imagined the chemistry between them he decides to hit the road only when he hears a scream and finds the same creep trying to hurt his girl he wastes no time in saving her a second time. He knows he can’t walk away from her and the way she makes him feel. But with Mr Goatee out on bail will Mike be able to save her a third time and convince that she’s his girl?

If you love alpha possessive hero’s then Lena’s books are for you. The story in this one though may have triggers although she’s never actually attacked the intent is there. I really enjoyed reading how these two characters find each other. 4.2* read.

This is part of the Claimed series each book reads as a standalone under an hour or so connecting with an over protective sexy and the women who captures his obsessions. Ellie curvy sweet runs into guys who usually treat her like she is easy currently running from a creep right into a cop only for that same cop to stop an assault on her by the same creep in an ally. Mike sexy as all get out alpha with a touch of crazy (the good guy) and extremely protective of the curvy beauty who captured his attention. The attraction is instant, it is intense, and the magnetic pull between them can be ignored protecting her became his mission because her creepy guy doesn’t stop so will he be there to protect her again, why is the creep after her, and will they find their happiness?.

Mike being who is...is all about protecting and serving and when he runs into Ellie, it wraps up about ten folds if not a hundred. He wants her but first he has to get rid of Mr. Goatee. Ellie being a little thick is out with her friend when she is accosted by Mr. Goatee. She runs into Mike and everything seems to fall into place for her.

Mike becomes her guardian, protector and her one and only. It seems Mr. Goatee doesn't know when you leave well enough alone and it takes Mike to put him in his place several times.

Lena Little's books have always been my Achilles heel because what woman wouldn't want a OTT guy to just be her shadow or better yet her second skin.

LOVE IT...as always!!!!.

I loved Protective Cop: Book 3 of Claimed. I love these alpha male books. Ellie is trying to get away from a creeper when she meets Mike the first time. Then he saves her when said creeper tries to assault her in a ally. He’s an alpha male cop and he will do anything to protect what’s his and Ellie is his. She’s loves it, she knows Mike will always protect her. What will happen when said creeper finds out where Ellie works and vows to find her alone? Will Mike be able to make sure Ellie is safe? I loved this storyline and characters. It’s a quick and easy read but not so quick that you don’t get the whole story. I would definitely recommend this book and the whole series.

A steamy police romance with officer Mike and his beautiful future, Ellie. When he sees her being assaulted outside of a club, he doesn’t hesitate to step in. One look at her tear filled face and he knows he wants to protect her forever. This book follows their sweet and steamy romance as Mike works to win her heart. Unfortunately her assailant doesn't know how to walk away and her safety becomes a priority. I enjoyed the romance between Mike and Ellie. Their relationship is steamy from the beginning and just continues to get better. I enjoyed the epilogues as well even if they felt a little rushed. I was still happy to see what these two were up to in the future.

When our heroine gets into a bad situation, it is our hero that comes to our rescue. Now all she can think about is him, which is trouble of an entirely different sort.

This is book three of the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading is required.

This is an alpha male romance with a bit of an age gap. The story is well written and easy to read with a small but interesting cast of characters. Our hero and heroine have excellent chemistry and develop a bond really quickly. We get a bit of action and suspense, a bit of romance and steam and it all leads to an HEA. Overall, a fun read and I look forward to more in this series.

Highly recommended.

This is the third book in the Claimed series by Ms Little. We are taken into the lives of Mike and Ellie. They meet when one night Ellie wants to leave a nightclub and is attacked. When her attacker is released on bail, things get tense and Mike does everything he can to keep her safe and protected. While her stalker is at large, the chemistry and attraction between them grows and Mike's very protective side comes to the fore. This is a must read and the other parts too, Ms Little's stories will hold your attention from start to finish.

He is about to grab her when she runs to the bathroom. She runs into Mike, a strong protective cop who gets rid of the creep. While Mike is dealing with security, Ellie is ready to go home. She is walking home when the creep pulls her into an alley. Luckily Mike is there to save her again.

4.5 Stars
This was a fantastic book. I really enjoyed Mike and Ellie together with their intense connection and chemistry. Ellie has some issues with a guy and Mike is there to protect her but Mike was so much more. There is some more drama with the stalker but Mike won't let anything happen to his woman.

This hunky cop is OTT possessive & she loves it.

Lena Little did not disappoint with Mike & Ellie's story. This short instalove romance is intense & steamy. After rescuing her the first time Mike's possessive need to protect Ellie is strong. Can he continue to protect Ellie & build a future or will her stalker strike before he can get there?.

Good read

The author keeps putting her... Instead of she, it happened at least 4 times, I think an edit needs to be done, ie.... her looks at me and her shouldn't do that! baffling.

anyway good storyline, I'm so used to short stories i am used to the falling in love in 2 days, but that's fine as long as it has a decent storyline and these books do.

moving on to the next book in the series.

Ellie knew being at the club late was a bad idea especially when a guy gets to over handsy, but when she runs into Mike, she finds her self becoming this cops new obssesion. Mike maybe off duty but you cant take the cop out of him when he sees Elle he knows she is his to protect. Well written steamy possessive short romance

[CJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author has given us a fast-paced, older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Mike and Ellie and does not let go. The story keeps us turning the pages with instant connection, danger and steam.

Curvy girl Ellie (h) attracts the unwanted attention of another club goer causing Mike (H), an off-duty cop, to step in and protect her. Mike and Ellie are drawn to one another, and things get hot and steamy between the two very quickly. But the unwanted man from the club keeps coming after her and Mike will do what he has to to protect what’s his, Ellie. Hot and steamy curvy girl quickie!

[Lucy Chesna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ellie got unwanted attention and Mike saved her in the night club and than again when she was attacked again in a dark alley. The connection between Sal and Angelica was hot. Angelica is a perfect match to Sal. Great chemistry between them.

Enjoyable read. Mike rescues Ellie after she was attacked at a club. He was off duty but had to step in. The same man comes after her as she leaves the club and he rescues her again. Lots of action, lots of heat, lots of instalove goodness.

If you like OTT possessive heroes you will love Protective Cop by Lena Little. At a nightclub with her roommate, Ellie finds herself being harassed by a guy unwilling to take no for an answer. Thankfully sexy cop Mike comes to her rescue. Mike instantly knows Ellie is different. She is the one he has been waiting for. Definitely recommend this insta love romance.

[Kristine L. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ellie runs into Mike at a bar trying to get away from a creep. He helps save Ellie again as she's walking home from the creepy guy again. There is an instant connection between Mike and Ellie. They are a great couple and have amazing chemistry. I loved the HEA and the two epilogues at the end.

woah

Loved this quickie. I wonder what happened to the creep., he was super brave and dumb. The epilogues were super adorable

[Teresa Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

What creeps me out about this story is that there are real-life Goatee guys out there that think women owe them. We need more Mikes in this world!
