Rocky Mountain Madness

After losing his wife and son in an accident while deployed, Cole devotes his life to serving in the military. He vows never to love again, but when his teammate dies in his arms, Cole decides not to reenlist. He hits rock bottom and is found stumbling out of a bar by Jake and Thorn. Jake is in charge of The Brotherhood Protectors Colorado branch and is there to offer Cole a new start. Cole believes the offer is too good to be true, but takes the job to honor the memory of his fallen teammate as it was his dream to eventually work for The Brotherhood Protectors. His first assignment is to find and “remind” a doctor, who forgot to check in with her father, to call. If only it were that easy! Staci Miller grew up privileged. She never wanted for anything. When she lost her mother to cancer, she decided to pursue a career as a doctor. She also wanted to give back, help those less fortunate than herself. So she heads to a small, backwards town in Colorado. Staci begins to find trends, abnormalities in the townsfolk. When she reports her suspicions to her father, he immediately wants her to come home. But Staci insists on staying to help the people. Little did she know what she was about to uncover… While I truly loved the characters and the storyline, I wanted more! I loved Staci’s ambition and drive to help those less fortunate. I loved that SHE was the one rescuing Cole so that he could turn around and rescue her right back! I felt as though Cole “recovered” from his guilt really quickly. I needed more of Cole working through his guilt, forgiveness, then love. This is a quick, insta-love, suspenseful read with a HEA. Overall, another enjoyable Brotherhood Protectors novel. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars Rocky Mountain Madness is book 6 in the Brotherhood Protectors: Colorado series by Elle James and each story just gets better… Up next is Bryce “Cole” Coleman, retires from service with survivors guilt and Staci Miller, silver spoon but wants more so she becomes a doctor to help underserved people. When she mysteriously disappears the Brotherhood Protectors are called and Cole infiltrates and soon they are on the run…what happens next will keep you reading to find out how it all ends…

Bryce has had to cope with tragedy upon tragedy. First, he lost his family in a car accident and then just as he had decided to leave the Armed Services his buddy, Dusty, is killed on a mission. Bryce burns out and finds solace at the bottom of a beer bottle. But when BP: Colorado comes calling he decides to take up a position with the Brotherhood Protectors to honour his friend. Cole's first job sounds like a walk in the park. Check on a Doctor who is treating folks up in a remote valley. But Dr Staci Miller has stumbled into more than she can handle. These locals aren't just isolated - they're kidnapping people! Once Cole and Staci meet it's a headlong jump into adventure. Can they escape the townsfolk and get help or will they be rounded up? A great addition to the series. Staci could have just been another stuck-up Doctor thinking she knows best but she does do everything from a good place, rather than for glory. Cole may be reluctant to care about anyone again but Staci gets past those walls and the passion flares between them hot and fiery. Rebecca is a great secondary character too - lots of pluck in that young lady!
