Protecting Maddie (The Omega Team #4 / The Protectors #1) by Desiree Holt

 


When Maddie Winslow talked a student out of his gun in her classroom, she never figured it would set off a chain of events that put her life in grave danger, and the lives of her parents. Hiding in WitSec for thirty years, her parents thought they had beaten the odds--until the image of Maddie, an identical replica of her mother - hits the television airwaves and the people who have been seeking revenge all those years find her. Intent on learning where her mother is hiding, they break into her home and then try to kidnap her. Frightened, she goes to her friend, Zee, who once dated someone in Delta Force. She calls him to explain her friend's situation, but he's prepping for a mission and can't leave base. Hunter "Hawkeye" St. John, a Delta Force member, is on medical leave recuperating in Tampa and chafing for some action. When he and Maddie meet, the sparks flying between them sizzle the air. But if Hawkeye wants to move forward with Maddie he first has to keep her safe and then eliminate the bad guys. Protecting Maddie by Desiree Holt was published in July 2016. This book is book four of The Omega Team series and book one of the The Protectors series. 

Another book that broke off from Susan Stoker book series. I really enjoyed this book and I love how we get to meet two characters that we don't know from any books. Hawkeye has a lot of anger because he was injured and because of others I know Delta guys don't like to be not busy. So for him to be able to be helpful and keep someone safe is perfect. I loved Maddie in how she softly talked to her student to get him to put down the weapon before he caused more issues. It's a teacher I would want my own kids to have. Of course she has her own faults in the book but I loved that she took charges and became the hero in the beginning. The story-line is amazing in this book, while there is not much of smut in the book. There is a lot of romance involved. I highly recommend checking it out. 

Quotes that I Loved 

"First, let me introduce you. Ghost, this is my friend Maddie Winslow. Maddie, meet my cousin, Keane "Ghost" Bryson. The star of Delta Force." 

Hawkeye solved the problem for her. He took the glass from her hand, set it on the counter, and cradled her head in his hands. Holding it steady, his mouth descended and claimed hers. This was no gentle kiss, no soft press of lips. He stroked his tongue over her mouth once, twice, then...."Open for me."
