About this listen

It only took a moment for him to know she was his.

Navy SEAL Kane McNamara has his mission. Four potential terrorist targets in Oman. His job is to keep everyone safe and try to figure out where Al-Qaeda will strike next. Guarding an international music show is on the bottom of Kane’s list, until he meets the woman organizing the event. Then, all bets are off. She’s fun, feisty, and their chemistry is off the charts.

Has she finally met her match?

A.J. Lancaster has never met anyone like Kane. Nobody's ever given her this much crap or been this much fun. Her job doesn't give her a spare second to think, but she'll make time to flirt with the most interesting man she's ever met. The fact that he’s insanely gorgeous in that rough mountain man sort of way might also be why she’s taking a minute to enjoy some man candy.

It's turning deadly...fast

Soon, Kane, A.J., and the rest of the Night Storm SEAL team realize the music show is the next target.

When bullets fly, it’s down to Kane and his team to stop Al-Qaeda’s plans, and Kane must ensure that the stubborn woman he loves stays alive, so they can have their chance at a happy ending.

Her Ruthless Protector, the first book in the Night Storm series is brilliantly-written fast-paced, action-packed military romantic suspense. Given the length of the audiobook, the plot is rich, flows smoothly, with clear and concise scene transitions. The storyline is entertaining and utterly engaging, with exciting action and HOT steamy scenes. The character development is phenomenal; I absolutely loved the men, their interactions and the banter was hilarious. Of course, my favourites were Kane and A.J, their connection is electrifying and the chemistry, charged.

Usually, I have a problem with the female leads, authors tend to make them dramatic with too many insecurities, and the snark becomes nothing but annoyance. A.J., in my opinion, is the ideal heroine, confident, efficient, intelligent, capable, fast with her come back and more than a match for Kane.

Stellar narration by Ryan West and Savannah Richards. They honed in on the characters, emulating the nuances, and the animations, bringing the story to life. Caitlyn O'Leary has now become my go-to author for the genre; she is a talented author, captivating her readers/listeners with her quality plots, authentic characters, and witty dialogue. I really enjoyed this audiobook, and I highly recommend it.

Caitlyn O'Leary sure knows how to deliver a military romance with all kinds of Seal deliciousness! There is the intense attraction, the on-the-edge-of-your-seat action and a whole lot of romance one usually expects and enjoys with this genre. The characters are strong and capable, equally matched and carefully balanced.

But I think that one of the best parts of this book is how the team interacts with each other. They constantly roast each other yet have each other's back under any and every circumstance. Plus we have met some of the characters before in Caitlyn's previous Seal team series. I enjoy that continuity as I like to revisit old characters. Despite all that, this book is entirely standalone, so if this is your first encounter with this author's books, you cannot go wrong with this audiobook!

I would imagine that meeting your potential forever person on a mission would be difficult. I particularly liked how Caitlyn allowed the characters to be together wherever possible but also showed Kane prioritising his mission over his personal life where required. Similarly AJ's job of producing Eurovision in Oman had to take precedence over what she would have liked to do instead. It wasn't a case of insta-love and the end but a carefully orchestrated development of a relationship in the midst of a very strong dose of reality. I loved it!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Adventurous and delicious!

I loved everything about this story. From the strong, alpha protector in Kane, to the sweet and sassiness of AJ. The chemistry between them was undeniable. AJ is a strong heroine that made me instantly like her. Kane is a Navy Seal and will do whatever it takes to complete his mission, both in his heart and head. This story is fast paced and kept me on my toes. I cannot wait to read more from the team, because I know it will be just as intense as this one. I could not put it down.

Ryan West and Savannah Richards are the perfect team for this narration. their voices complement each other and help the story to flow naturally. They bring out the suspense through their narration that kept me wanting more. I cannot wait to hear more form these two.

I adored this story first time around on my ebook and fell in love with it all over again listening to the audiobook. AJ & Kane are two of my all time favourite characters and are brought perfectly to life by Ryan West & Savannah Richards. It definitely ticks all my boxes - action, drama, wonderful characters, hit sex and humour! The banter and back & forth works so well in the audio version.
I’ll confess I wasn’t sure about Ryan West to start with but he totally grew on me, Savannah I liked from the start.
I can’t wait for the rest of Night Storm and please, please can there be more appearances from Kane & AJ. A definite 5* read for me.

Awesome!
