The Protector (Norcross Security Book 9) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 6,525 ratings

For a ballerina in the line of fire, the only man who can keep her safe is a scarred, battle-hardened soldier.

One minute Saskia Hawke is dancing on stage, and the next she’s been abducted by a very wealthy, very powerful man with connections. Whisked away to a country estate, she’ll do anything to escape, and prays the former soldier she can’t stop thinking about will come to rescue her.

What she doesn’t know is that her disappearance will light a protective fury inside Camden Morgan, and he’ll tear down the country to find her.

After a final mission leaves former Ghost Ops soldier Camden Morgan injured, scarred, and riddled with guilt, he comes home to San Francisco. Surrounded by his family and working at Norcross Security, he still can’t settle. He definitely knows he’s too broken to offer anything to the beautiful, raven-haired Saskia.

When she goes missing, Cam knows something is very wrong. He’s the man with the right skill set to bring her home, even as he knows he must protect her from himself and push her away.

But saving Saskia is just the beginning, as her abductor isn’t letting go of his obsession. Cam must go all in, be the protector Saskia needs, and risk his scarred heart. With the help of his brothers and Norcross Security, not to mention Saskia’s dangerous brother and his team, they’ll put everything on the line. And for Saskia, she’ll fight with everything she has to survive…and to prove to Cam that he’s capable and worthy of love.

**Each book in this action-packed romance series can be read as a
standalone.

🩰The Protector 🎯 Norcross Security Book 9 ✒️ Anna Hackett 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Will he realize in time she is the cure to his nightmares… Oh my! What a rollercoaster ride this story is. Not a slowing moment, only action following action, whatever with bullets flying or between the sheets. From the first pages which shows Saskia being kidnapped to the last rescue scene, I was on edge, turning page after page as fast as I could digest the words. Saskia is no amazon girl but she stands her ground and never backdown, years of discipline due to ballet dancing taught her resilience, perseverance and la mind of steel. Camden came back to his country in a bad place, wallowing in his survivor’s guilt. So much, even if they click all the boxes, he is unable to let Saskia in. A distant friendship is all he believe he has to offer. But when the woman who haunts his dreams is harmed and threatened, can he stay in the shadows and let her go. Impossible to tell more without spoiling the fun of reading this book. Just be forewarned, be sure you are sorted out for the day or putting this book down will be hard when you will be high on a action packed scene. 5 stars Now I am much curious to read about this Sentinel Security Team.

    You’ll meet Camden the newest member of Norcross Security and one of the Morgan brothers. He’s just out of ghost ops and not sure where he fits in. He has a large scar on his face reminding him of his best friend’s death. He’s fascinated with Saskia a ballet dancer but feels he’s not worthy. What happens when a madman kidnaps Saskia? Cam has vowed to protect her.

    This book kept off the page. Right away til the 20% mark you are stressed for this girl. Like it starts off in action . Thankfully we have cam to come around and figure things out with the help of the crew.

    Building the trust and understanding between these two was as easy as buttering toast. They were such a good couple together. Reading each other so clearly. And there’s like 2 chapters where you are gutted but I promise it’s necessary.

    Each book is ok to read as standard alone though best to read in sequence. It has a good balance between character development, action, and of course, hot steamy ...

    I couldn't put the book down and ended up reading through the entire series in less than a week.

    Each character was given a chance to grow and have their own story. Very well written!

    Vander is basically SF Batman ;)

    Would be interesting how different the Sentinel series would be

    I honestly didn’t think anyone in this series could top Vander Norcross. Camden Morgan proved me wrong. I loved the broken hero and his ballerina!

    This book was nonstop action. From page 1 I couldn’t put it down. Cam and Saskia were definitely on one heck of a ride. I loved that when Saskia knew she was in trouble the first person she called was Cam. She could have called any number of people who worked with her brother, but her gut reaction was to call a man who lived across the country and claimed to not be able to give her the relationship she deserved. Cam moved heaven and earth to get to Saskia and keep her safe. He was the ultimate protector and the book was very aptly named.

    I loved the development of Saskia and Cam’s relationship. Even though it seemed fast paced, their relationship really started months ago with their texts and calls. I liked that Saskia didn’t push Cam for a relationship and he came to the realization that he couldn’t fight his feelings on his own. They ended up being perfect for each other.

    I’m sad to see this series end. I have loved every book in the Norcross series. But after getting a glimpse of the Sentenal Security team, I am excited to see where that goes and hopefully get glimpses of the Norcross team as that progresses.

    4 stars - It was really good

    One minute Saskia Hawke is dancing on stage, and the next she has been abducted by a very wealthy and powerful man who is determined to keep her. She is determined to escape, and hopes that Camden Morgan will come rescue her.

    The final Morgan brother finally falls in love! I have been eagerly waiting for Cam’s book for a while now and I am so happy it's here. I loved every minute of Cam and Saskia’s story. Cam is still struggling to readjust to civilian life and suffers from survivor's guilt. He doesn’t believe he is good enough for any woman, but especially Saskia. I really enjoyed seeing Cam heal a little and open up to love.

    “I will only ever see the hero, even if he’s a little battered and dinged.”

    Saskia is a dedicated ballerina. She is determined, strong willed, and extremely compassionate about Cam’s struggles. She is a true friend to Cam and lets him set the pace of their relationship for a long time. The kidnapping accelerated things and it makes them both realize how much they want each other, and how quickly it can be taken away. Saskia was just a wonderful heroine who was the perfect partner for Camden.

    “When you dance, you bring emotion to life and bring beauty into the world. That’s your gift. Mine’s to fight, to kill, to protect.”

    These two’s relationship was filled with a lot of action, tension, and a lot of intense kisses. It was just the perfect blend for me. I am a bit sad that this is the last Norcross personnel to fall in love but it's been a great journey. I also can’t wait to learn more about Killian and the Sentinel Security team!

    Trigger warnings: kidnapping, survivors guilt, death of a friend referenced, PTSD, death of a parent by overdose referenced.

    Saskia is a ballet dancer, who gets abducted by a Russian billionaire. Camden is former Ghost Ops and works for Norcross Security. He frees Saskia, but the billionaire is still after her. Camden is scarred inside and outside and though he is very attracted to Saskia, he thinks, he can't give her what she needs. But he is fiercely determined to protect Saskia with his life .....
    I enjoyed reading the book. It's storyline contains action, adventure, suspense and hot romantic scenes. The characters are true, resourceful and strong.
    I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book from Ms. Hackett.
