About this ebook

Former Navy SEAL, Stone Jacobs, with help from Hank Patterson’s Brotherhood Protectors launches a mission to rescue his team of mercenaries stranded in Afghanistan after US withdrawal. 

Undercover as a journalist, international assassin, Kyla Russell is performing her last assignment in Afghanistan. She baulks when she discovers her mission is to kill a man who doesn't deserve it. Kyla wants out of the business, but her handler would rather see her dead than let her go. Trapped by the Taliban with a team of mercenaries, her only way out is to allow herself to be swept into a daring rescue by a sexy former Navy SEAL. The mercenaries and Kyla are transported back to the States and rehomed in Yellowstone.

With his team of former SEALs turned mercenaries, Stone sets up a Yellowstone division of Brotherhood Protectors at his father’s lodge in West Yellowstone. Struggling with his attraction to the ballsy journalist, Stone hires Kyla as the team communications expert not realizing the full extent of her military skills or his growing feelings for her. When her past comes to call, the team rallies around her. Together, Stone and Kyla fight the enemy determined to silence an assassin and surrender to their attraction for each other.

Ratings and reviews

I wasn't a big fan of this book. I wanted to try it out as it's a genre I enjoy and I like series' but I found this pretty boring and pretty clichè. It has alot of filler when I think the author could have spent that time creating a more dramatic plot. It felt like she was just trying to get up a word count. I made it half way through and gave up.

This awesome book kicks-off this new series in the best way. I really liked Kyla and Stone and their story had me fully invested and entertained. A rich blend of drama, suspense, emotion, action, heart and twists deliver the feels, have you guessing and perched on the edge of your seat. I am very excited to read much more of this series. I am freely posting a frank review.

And the Brotherhood Protectors go to Yellowstone as well – another team! Existing Brotherhood Protectors fans will be thrilled to see so many “old” friends in this, and the new team is a great addition. Kyla is an inadvertent part of Stone and the original Brotherhood team’s rescue of Stone’s team in Afghanistan, and she is “assigned” to Stone as the first case in Yellowstone. It seems impossible, but Elle James outdoes herself with each new book and each new team, and she’s done that again. The chemistry between Kyla and Stone, the camaraderie of the team, Hank’s relationship with Sadie and his kids – it’s all wonderfully written. Kyla is understandably reticent about her background and skills, but she is a perfect match for Stone and the Brotherhood. This is a must-read – the suspense doesn’t let up, there is absolutely no way to put this down before the end.
