Colorado Free Rein

Great book.

Another good read of the Brotherhood Protectors Colorado series. The good men who make up this group are skilled former military men who can use their skills again Devin Layne is a new hire with a bad leg and a bad attitude. He feels he can’t be part of the group because of his injuries. That is until his first assignment comes. He needs to protect his sister Laurel and the love of his life, Mallory from a man who wants Devin dead and is using his sister and his fiancé as bait. I did figure out the culprit early in the book but it was still a good read. Striker returns as a protector but I feel like his skills were not used. Another good book by Elle James, an author I will continue to read.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. While this is a part of a series of Brotherhood Protectors, you don't have to read the prior ones to fully understand and enjoy this book. Oh my stars!! I LOVE this book. Devin and Mallory (Mal) have a great chemistry between them. They are engaged to be married. That is until Devin is medically discharged from the Army. The last mission for this Green Beret didn't end well. His leg will never be the same. Doctors said that he probably wouldn't be able to walk on it again. His strength and determination proved them wrong. He can walk but with a painful limp. Devin can't stand the thought of not fulfilling his' and Mal's dreams of running his family ranch and raising some kids. He breaks the engagement so Mal can still have her dreams but with someone else. He is tormented with that thought though. Danger comes to town. Both his sister and Mal have been threatened! Can his wounded hero save both of the precious women in his life? Who is the stalker after these two strong women? Can Devin be convinced that he is still the man for Mal? That and other questions will be answered. This is a book that consumed me. I had a hard time putting it down to fix dinner. (Don't know why the hubby couldn't!) The book is written in a dual POV format. Getting that glimpse into the both the main character's thoughts really help me to connect and better understand them. It really makes them more human and less like characters in a book. I was really sadden to read the last word! Now why do the best stories have to end? This is a sexy read so just a word of caution if that bothers you. I would highly suggest that you can skip over as it isn't a major part of the story. There really is a story here and not just sexy times.

Another fantastic addition to the Colorado Brotherhood Protectors series! Devin Layne former Green Beret is back home after his career in the military ended with a severe injury to his leg. He’s out of sorts and not sure where to turn. Seeing his fiancé Mallory Watts only makes him feel more incomplete. Mal Watts only ever wanted one thing in her life…Devin He was her whole world and she’s not giving up without a fight. Devin needs a new purpose in life and maybe he would have a chance with the love of his life. When he gets an unexpected job offer to use the skills he was taught in the military as the Brotherhoods new protector he takes a chance. And he’s gonna need all his training when his sister Laurel and Mal are caught up in the middle of a war no one saw coming. Can Devin save the two women he loves the more than anything? “I voluntarily received this arc book for an honest review”

I loved Colorado Free Rein! Elle James’ Brotherhood Protectors series is fabulous! I was heartbroken for both Devin who was injured and trying to find his way, and then offered a job with the Brotherhood Protectors - the perfect place for him; and Mal, his fiancé, who he pushed away because of his injury. I wanted to reach in then the book and tell him to get a grip. Two other awesome favorites in this book were Laurel, Devin’s sister, and Stryker, RJ’s adopted retired working military dog. It’s just a great book and I’m ready to read it again!

A*R*C for honest review with no compensation Colorado Free Rein is book 10 on the Brotherhood Protectors Colorado series by Elle James and another awesome read! Devlin Layne, ex Green Beret soldier is back home after a medical discharge for injuries that occurred on his last deployment. Thinking he is not the man for the love of his life Mallory he does everything to push her away…she on the other hand is not having it. In the mean time his sister, Laurel has a gut feeling she might have a stalker and Devlin gets his first case with the BHP..but all is not what you think… Suspense, twists, turns, action, terrorizing, quick read, rekindling romance and so much more…
