**I received a copy of the book, from the author, in exchange for a honest review.**
Kason “Benny” Sawyer was the last single man on his Navy SEAL team. He loved his teammates like brothers and respected each and every one of their women. They’d all been through hell and they deserved their current happiness. But seeing the love between his friends and their women made it tough to be the odd man out all the time.
Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn’t anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small Bar and Grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn’t ever understand what she was going through.
Being a SEAL, Benny thought he knew the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. But Jess would show him that everything he thought he knew about sacrifice, trust, and love, paled in comparison to what she brought into his world.
Protecting Jessyka is the 6th book in the SEAL of Protection series. This one is about Jessyka, the waitress from Ace's. Jess has been around since Caroline and Wolfe's book, so she knows the guys fairly well. Jess has a physical ailment that causes her to limp but she doesn't let it stop her. Jess is hiding a secret. One that she's afraid to tell. She suffers abuse at the hands of someone who's supposed to be her friend. She fears that she has no where to go, so she stays. Her decision to stay is one that all abuse victims face. t takes a tragedy to force Jess' hand and give her the push she needs.
I love Jessyka's character. She doesn't succumb to the limitations that her ailment could cause. She doesn't hold back and does what she wants. She's a little different than the other characters. She's not the damsel in distress. Towards the end, she proves that she can hold her own. I love that Stoker wrote her character like that. To make it seem as if she has to be constantly saved, just says that she is weak because of physical limitations. Jess is not weak and Stoker shows that. Brilliant job in showing that Mrs. Stoker.
Benny is Jessyka's love interest in this book. The loner of the group, Benny feared that he would not find love. He notices that things are different with Jess. She seems to be hiding something and Benny is on a mission to find out what it is. His suspicions are confirmed and he sets his sights on protecting her. What he doesn't realize is that it's Jess who saves him. His solitary life is full once more. His life is no longer gray but now full of color.
This has to be one of my favorite books by this author. a reason is because the romance is not instant. Jess and Benny's romance developed over time. They have gotten to know each other before a relationship is perused. That made this book stand out from the others. The anticipation of this book is well deserved. I was not disappointed when reading this one. Stoker has a way at creating romance that pulls the reader in and gets them addicted from the very beginning. I cannot get enough of these SEALS. I am saddened that the series will be ending soon but I have my fingers crossed for future novellas. Hint hint Mrs. Stoker. =)
