Protecting You by Robin Patchen - A Book Review

Robin Patchen's Nutfield Saga and Coventry Saga books were are all wonderful, all twenty-one of them. Her current series, The Wright Heroes of Maine is unbelievably even better! The first four books each highlight a different Wright brother, this one, book number five, highlights one of their cousins, a cyber security expert, Alyssa Wright. Many of the books deal with intrigue involving terror_ _ _ (an -ism word that some sites flag and reject reviews for). The heroes of this series put themselves in harm's way to serve their country and to protect those they love. While the books in each of these series fall within the romantic suspense genre, never does the romance overshadow the suspense and intrigue.

In Protecting You, Alyssa leaves her government job to start her own business as a cyber investigator. Unfortunately, her best client, the one that keeps her in business, is not the person she thought him to be. CIA agent Callan Templeton has requested a desk job as he sorts out unexpected personal issues, but when he sees his former college crush in a restaurant with this client, he can't leave her alone with him. This leads the two of them into desperate circumstances in which they must call on all of their personal expertise as well as that of Alyssa's family and their contacts. I most highly recommend this book, this series, and Patchen's previous series. While Protecting You can be read as a stand-alone read, I suggest reading the books in this series in order. Be prepared to want to binge read, forget Netflix. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from the author without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
