Protected from Villainy
Blade & Arrow Shadow Team series

Blurb:
As soon as I heard the news, I knew it had to be wrong.
Bea? A killer? Impossible.
Not the sweet therapist who gently bullied me into recovery and never gave up on me, no matter how grouchy I was. She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. And I wouldn’t be where I am now without her.
Helping Bea means breaking the law. It means asking my Blade and Arrow teammates to risk their freedom, if we’re caught. But the idea of leaving Bea on her own is unthinkable. So, with my friends’ help, we race to stage a daring rescue before it’s too late.
I woke up from one nightmare only to be thrust into another.
First witness to a horrific crime; now accused of being the one who did it.
On top of that, my protector is a man I never expected to see again. I thought about Indy from time to time—wondering, worrying, even toying with the idea of checking up on him. But I never, ever imagined I’d wake up on the other side of the country after he abducted me.
I want to be angry with him for what he did, even though he claims he’s just trying to help me. But it’s really hard to stay mad at Indy when he’s the only one who makes me feel safe.
Protected from Villainy features a wounded warrior hero, a sweet and strong heroine with struggles of her own, forced proximity, found family, a security team of Army veterans, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Can be read as a standalone and an HEA guaranteed!

Review:
I really enjoy Cobie’s stories and was so happy for Indy to get his own story after seeing him in Protected from Malice. He struggled so much after losing his hand, falling into depression and anger, but is starting to find his way again thanks to his work with Blade & Arrow. And he’s going to use his skills to protect the one woman he can’t forget, spiriting her off in the dark to keep her safe.
As they give in to the pull between them, Indy & Bea help each other feel more confidence in themselves & their attraction. The relationship they develop together may be fast, but it works on building on their previous connection. While there is no third act breakup, when you are about 2/3 way thru and you find your baddie you know that something more is coming. Cobie makes it work like she always does 🙂
I find Cobie’s stories a well-balanced mix of suspense, action, steam, and emotion. Her bad guy works, the way we get there flows well, and the team is always fun to read. We’ve got a few more guys that need a book and I’ll be first in line.
