Publisher's summary

With a body as solid as his reputation, private investigator Drey St. John never dreamed helping the Braddocks discover the truth behind their father's fatal crash would lead to his own mother's shocking confession: Senator Braddock was Drey's biological father. Determined to solve the case, Drey enlisted all-work-and-no-play Charlene Anderson's help. But the more time he spent with the beautiful forensic scientist, the more he realized their sharp banter fronted a simmering mutual attraction that wouldn't be denied.

Charlene's career left no time for exotic playboys. Then she found herself under Drey's roof, in need of his protection - and a victim of his seductive charms. But when the late senator's secrets - and Drey's true identity - were uncovered, would Drey face the betrayals in his past, and his future as a Braddock, with Charlene by his side?

Good..but I feel I need more.

Brenda's a great writer but her books are kind of wham baam! I enjoyed the read but wasnt ready for it to be over :-). I just happened to get two of her books with the character in the same "state" which I thought was odd as well.

it was ok.

I am a fan but as many books as Mrs. Jackson has out and I've read she is staeri g to seem like a one tick pony. This is sad, because I really do like her. It seems to me that all her stories are predictable. I have almost all of her books.

Entertaining

I enjoyed this listen. And the ethnic voice quality of the reader was a treat. The other 2 by Brenda jackson, however, have readers who you couldn't imagine being black. It's a distracting turn off. The richness of the actual voice quality is not there. Just as only a few male readers make the female's sound right and only a few female readers make the males sound right. It's not the speach pattern, it's the voice quality. But, at least they make their respective characters sound like a male or a female. In most other non- ethnic books that happen to have a latino or black character in them the readers think trying to use some stereo typical speach pattern makes the character ethnic (many non ethnic writers, write these characters that way too.) I appreciate that these readers didn't try to adopt some stereo typical accents or speach pattern. But, wow, the quality and tember of their actual voices is no where near what it would be for the typical black person. So, my mind can't see what I'm reading. I can't get a mental picture. Just as when most people hear radio announcers they get an image of what the person looks like (even if it's completely wrong) my mind can't put these voices on black faces.

great short read

loved the narration the story and that it was straight to the plot. Brenda Jackson never fails.

Object of his Protection

What did you love best about The Object of His Protection?

What I loved about this book, was that Dre was smooth and very attactive in his approach. Charlene being inexperience made it easy for her to discovery of new love and feelings exciting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love DRE

What three words best describe Quincy Tyler Bernstein’s voice?

Smooth, Likeable, and clear

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book kept you wanting to know why, what, and how. The book involved you into the mystery.

sweet and sassy

That's how I see the female lead. Capable of handling her own but vulnerable in the eyes of her protector. The narrator's voice was a bit high pitch but I enjoyed the overall story.

Great Book, Very Erotic

Would you consider the audio edition of The Object of His Protection to be better than the print version?

I have not read the printed version, but I loved the audible one because the voice change made the scene changes believable.

What did you like best about this story?

The erotic scenes and the way they were described.

Have you listened to any of Quincy Tyler Bernstein’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I enjoyed the voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

Good quick read

I enjoyed the characters and actually thought the story was sweet. Good read if you want to "escape".

Voice didn't match the book

The book was great, however the reader...why can't we get an african american reader for african american books? Looking at the cover then hearing the voice was a complete disappointment for me. I finished the book but the reader completely through off the vibe of the book. I have no idea what the reviewer referring to that the voice was ethnic. NOT!

Great!

I loved the story I loved the characters and I really like narrator. This book will keep you interested from beginning to end.
