Only Athena knows better than to make the same mistake twice. So when Quinn is tasked with escorting Athena to Las Vegas, old passions awake while old enemies resurface.
Sworn to protect was so different from the other books in the series. Reading
Quinn and Athena’s story was so refreshing. Athena was really young but she was really focused on her future and she was confident in the choices she made and what she wanted. Quinn was very different from her. He was determined to fix his mistake, loyal, protective and weak when it came towards his feelings for Athena. There was a strong connection between them that you just couldn’t ignore.
What I really really loved was seeing characters from the previous books in the series and especially: Harrison, Belle and Grant, Iris, Travis, Ivan and Lizzy. I had missed them all so much. I really want to see more of Harrison and Mara. We don’t get to see them very often and since they are my favorite couple I want to read more of them (maybe a small novella?).
Katie Reus is a genius and once again she has delivered something amazing. Sworn to protect was one incredible read with one hell of a plot. Nothing was missing. It has action, suspense, romance, a hot alpha hero and a heroine willing to do anything to get her HEA.
Highly recommended!

This sounds like a book I would like. I will have to check out the first in series. I love series that keeps earlier characters involved. Nice review.
