The Protector (The Freemasons Book 4) by Nicole Flockton – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Protector (The Freemasons #4)The Protector by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable novel in this series about a group of Freemasons, and this story focuses on Declan Burkhard and Renee Cadmon, in this brother’s best friend romance. Renee was kidnapped and her innocence was stolen when she was sold to the highest bidder. Having been rescued from that horror, she has been trying to reclaim her life but it’s harder than she imagined. Her brother’s best friend Declan has been her rock, but strictly as a friend, although before she was taken she had hoped they could become more. Renee doesn’t think that Declan would be interested in her “broken and tainted soul”. However, Declan has always had feelings for Renee, he just didn’t act on them because she’s his best friends sister, and then she was taken.

Declan knows that she doesn’t think she’s “worthy of being loved”, but he wants to show her that’s not true. Declan is just happy to be apart of her life as she gets used to her freedom and will do anything to protect her, even if it means burying his desires. Renee is put in danger yet again when the person who orchestrated her abduction returns, but Declan is determined to eliminate the threat for good. I felt completely immersed in this story and engaged with the characters, as the descriptive narrative brings both the setting and characters vividly to life. The storyline does deal with some unsettling themes, but does so sensitively and in context with the story. I was hooked from start to finish and was kept happily turning the pages late into the night!
