About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Hefner

A woman determined to discover her past…

Adelyn, daughter of Lila and Latimus, has never felt quite whole. Although she loves her parents immensely, the origin of her lavender irises always remained a mystery. When she overhears rumors of a secret species of immortal who share the rare trait, she’s compelled to journey into treacherous territory to find them.

A man destined to protect her…

Leo, son of Kilani and Alrec, prefers solitude rather than the misery and exclusion he experienced in the immortal realm. When a gorgeous Slayer shows up at his remote cabin, he yearns to protect her, even if the stubborn woman drives him mad.

A perilous journey…

Incensed by the grumpy Vampyre, Adelyn vows to leave him behind. But the obstinate man insists on protecting her, and each day they forge ahead, she wonders if her heart might need the most protection of all…

Grumpy-sunshine, forced proximity romance lovers—this one’s for you! For everyone who enjoyed The Dawn of Peace, Kilani and Alrec are back as their son experiences his own love story! Enjoy and happy reading! Content information can be found on the author’s website.

Ratings and reviews

This is for both, the audiobook and the ebook. This can also be listened to/read as a standalone. O.M.G.!! The dialog between these two, Adelyn and Leo is priceless! The narration was spot on for this super sun shiny princess on a mission to find nymphs plus her biological parents and grumpy as all get out vampyre. I laughed so hard I shed tears. It has it all! Humor, steam, drama and action. Rebecca Hefner's imagination has NEVER let me down. She's a true wordsmith. Infinite stars, my favorite Etherya's Earth standalone and DEFINITELY ONE CLICK WORTHY!

The Solitary Protector by Rebecca Hefner is a good, and enjoyable steamy forced proximity grumpy sunshine vampire paranormal romantic suspense read. The story has a great story line with great world building. The characters are great, wonderful, and they have great chemistry. This story is a very entertaining steamy page turning grumpy sunshine vampire romance read with a happily ever after ending. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
