About this ebook

The USA Today–bestselling author kicks off her new series with an addictive tale of crime and passion—Texas Ranger style!

All Texas Ranger Jack MacKinnon has to do is keep Megan Harper alive while they hunt down whoever’s framing her for a fatal shooting. But the gorgeous intelligence analyst is too independent for her own good—and Jack’s peace of mind.

With a false murder rap and hit men gunning for her, Megan has no choice but to trust the cowboy-handsome lawman. She isn’t used to playing it safe. Yet how can she let Jack put his career and life on the line? And how can they ignore the desire ratcheting up the stakes, tempting them to take one last risk before a killer erases their future?

“A fast-paced, explosive, lively story with humorous banter and intriguing characters who have chemistry in spades.” —Books & Spoons

“Angi Morgan kicks off her brand new series Texas Brothers of Company B in grand style! . . . the rare romantic suspense where the romance feels real.” —Fresh Fiction

Ratings and reviews

Texas Ranger Jack MacKinnon receives a short but urgent phone call from his partner Wade Hamilton; Jack is to pick up Megan Harper at Bergstrom Airport. Megan is flying from Dallas to Austin, and she has the nagging feeling she’s being watched; but why? And she isn’t wrong, when a decidedly unfriendly man approaches her, and Megan gets rid of him rather creatively. Then there’s Jack, whom Megan doesn’t know, but he has Megan’s friend Therese on the phone, and Therese says someone is trying to kill Megan. A little while later, it seems all this is true, as it turns out Megan has been drugged! And all this is in the first few pages as Angi Morgan takes us on another grand adventure in Texas! I loved not knowing any more than Megan and Jack about what was going on, and learning about it as they find out, with much difficulty and a lot of very cold water! Megan works for the State Fire Marshal’s Office, but she had once been a police officer, so she’s not clueless, and she reacted like a reasonable and professional individual throughout; if Megan didn’t stop breathing, I think I did in a few instances! Bless Angi Morgan for that mention about the “electric shock”, which I will never forget, as well as other witty remarks that popped up here and there, and felt precisely how people think and act, even when their lives are in danger. The characters are great all-around, from Jack’s nosey neighbour to his father Jack Sr., with whom he has a complicated relationship. We see glimpses of Wade and Therese – whom I suspect will be in future books – and Wade seems just as reckless as Jack says he is. RANGER PROTECTOR’s plot is quite complex, and I just loved how the romance was ever so deftly blended in. Megan and Jack act on their attraction like reasonable adults whose lives are in danger, but still manage flirtatious and playful banter all the while. The make a great team and a great couple, with palpable chemistry, and I enjoyed so much that Megan did not act like a damsel in distress, even though in fact, she was. I must say that the romance in RANGER PROTECTOR is absolutely perfect, and exactly what I expect in a romantic suspense; I believed in Megan and Jack every step of the way, and you know that theirs is a real happily ever after because of how they are towards each other. RANGER PROTECTOR is a solidly plotted suspense, very quick-paced, with appealing characters, and with just my kind of romance; this is a most excellent book! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
