Protecting Jessyka

SEAL of Protection, Book 6

De: Susan Stoker

Narrado por: Stella Bloom

Kason "Benny" Sawyer was the last single man on his Navy SEAL team. He loved his teammates like brothers and respected each and every one of their women. They'd all been through hell and they deserved their current happiness. But seeing the love between his friends and their women made it tough to be the odd man out all the time.

Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn't anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small bar and grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn't ever understand what she was going through.

Being a SEAL, Benny thought he knew the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. But Jess would show him that everything he thought he knew about sacrifice, trust, and love, paled in comparison to what she brought into his world.

So different but so good!!

Oh how I loved this story. This one stand-alone is a perfect blend of friends to lovers and military romance. Kason “Benny” Sawyer knew there was something going on with Jessyka. Jess has been their waitress at Aces for years so he could tell something wasn’t right. When he goes to check on her one night he learns more than he bargains for. Jessyka was in a bad place feeling trapped in a situation. She needed a friend and Kason became that friend.

As things develop between them, feelings develop and they become more than friends. He becomes her anchor as she becomes his everything. This book has the usual action and suspense that Susan Stoker is known for but it also has a bit of twist.

Finally Benny has a woman

Love these alpha males - they are categorically too good to be true. Enjoying the entire series- this starts off as a gut-wrenching story of emotional and physical abuse, having a handicap, and being bullied.

Fun, engaging, and interesting

Very good continuation of the SEALs and their women. Love the character development and narration. The plot kept me interested.

One of the series best

Jess is strong like Caroline in book 1 and Benny is patient and caring. A true romance.

Smart sassy waitress finally grabs the SEAL

Would you listen to Protecting Jessyka again? Why?

I would. This story had a tiny bit of a different spin with the others. It also showed the good guys didn't always follow the good guy rules with civilians. Also, it wasn't instant attraction. The team had been around Jessyka for a long time and it when it became clear she needed help did one step up to help her.

What does Stella Bloom bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is a very good narrator and her voice inflection really helps the feeling of the story.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book like all the others and it was nice to see one of the team's women had a physical disability that didn't help her appearance but would have made any other man think twice. Disabilities on women aren't usually front and center - she was a real character, not a runway model.
