Iron Willed Warrior (Last Refuge Protectors Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Hannah Shield (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 922 ratings

Their relationship is fake. But the sparks between them are hot enough to burn.

Agent Brynn Somerton just resigned from the FBI. Her top secret assignment: going undercover to destroy a dangerous crime syndicate. According to the law, she’s now a vigilante. And that means working with the Last Refuge Protectors. Whether she likes it or not.

Bounty hunter Cole Bailey wants nothing to do with the FBI. This iron-willed ex-Ranger prefers to work on his own. But going undercover with Brynn will serve more than one agenda. Cole can play her boyfriend, but he’ll keep his secrets close.

If only she wasn’t so dang tempting. Every touch leaves him craving more.

They don’t trust each other. So they’ll have to fake it. But the deeper they get, the harder it is to tell the difference between the lies and the truth. And if they’re not careful, they’ll both get burned.

★ Dislike to love
★ Grumpy cinnamon roll hero
★ Hero & Heroine both ex-military
★ Who hurt you?
★ Steam, action & banter

    Awesome book. Love that the main characters, Cole and Brynn are strong, resolute “heroes”, leveling the playing field with the bad guys.
    It did surprise me that Hannah Shield would have Cole smoking????
    Thank you, Hannah Shield for wrapping up the Stillwater storyline; I’m looking forward to being dazzled by your creativity in new books.

    Being the fifth book in this winning series, how can Ms. Shield keep coming up with inventive ways to get our MMC and FMC together?! In this one we are pairing the grumpy 40yo former Marine, Cole Bailey with former FBI agent, 33yo Brynn Somerton. The Last Refuge Protectors have been after the infamous organization Stillwater for a very long time. They have a chance to capture or kill its newly discovered leader, Garon Westwick using two people unknown to Stillwater. The organization does not know Cole as he spends most of his life in Mexico and Central America as a bounty hunter and where the climate is better for his missing leg which was a souvenir from his Marine days. They are going undercover as Cameron Clay, grumpy and overbearing manager to his young, vivacious influencer, Brianna Waverley who of course is Brynn. They have a plan but can they pull it off? Can they forget the new feelings percolating between them? Oh. My. Word. When it starts to get dicey undercover, I could not read fast enough to see how or if they get out of the predicament. And, who is the iron-willed warrior? It might surprise you.
    If you like thrilling page-turners with just the right amount of spice, read this book. I volunteered to review an ARC of it through BookSirens.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cole and Brynn
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book had it all, humor, romance, suspense, and action. It was non stop from page one and the chemistry between Cole and Brynn just added to the book as a whole. I liked that it had a bit of a different feel than the first four books, Cole and Brynn were largely on their own since they were undercover and it really brought their romance to the forefront.

    Both Cole and Brynn had severe trust issues. Cole’s ex-wife left him when he lost his leg serving in the army and that really impacted his trust and his confidence that he could have anything lasting. Brynn had an equally bad breakup with an ex that claimed to never love her. They both had to learn how to trust each other, not only as lovers but as partners in their undercover op.

    I really liked the suspense in this book. It had some good twists and surprises and I liked that it seemed to wrap up the Stillwater plot. I really enjoyed the ending and the way Cole and Brynn sorted their relationship out. They ended up being great communicators and I loved that they were able to talk instead of letting things get misconstrued.

    Overall I loved this book. It was exciting from the beginning to the end. It was very well written and thought out. I especially enjoyed how quickly Cole and Brynn fell for each other.

    I was so captivated by this book it shot right to the top of my favorites in The Last Refuge series. The chemistry between Cole and Brynn was like a tangible thing, oozing enough steam to power a locomotive. Hannah Shield must've brewed a magical potion because she's mixed suspense, romance, and sensuality into a cocktail that's impossible to put down.

    Nail-biting suspense, intense moments and the steam! Brynn and Cole are two peas in a pod. Brynn is a bad@ss in her own right, and Cole is right there to back her up, when he isn’t disagreeing with her. Love that they match so well.

    ## If you have read the last couple of books in this series (Owen & Rider) then this is a must read. It wraps up all our questions about the bad guys at Stillwater. Yes, each book is about a different couple but the crime drama continued. Now it's wrapped up perfectly. I loved Cole and Brynn. What a great pair. At first I didn't think I would like Brynn but after the first chapter I started loving her. I love that she was so capable. And beautiful to boot. The only thing I hated and the sole reason I deducted a star was because the hero was a smoker. Constantly lighting up. Bleh.Nothing sexy about that. Too bad, otherwise perfect.
