Description:
Trevor Raines lives on the edge of legal. A good guy doing bad things to save lives, the only rules he follows are the Brotherhood’s, and there’s nothing in the world that will change that. Until Natalie Jordan walks into his life…

Natalie’s only interest is in making a fresh start. She’s a woman with a plan, and the plan doesn’t include a man with secrets, no matter how kind—or intoxicating—he is. But this cowboy is determined to break down her walls, keep her safe and make her his.

Trevor had no interest in settling down, but there’s something entirely too appealing about the woman he can’t stay away from. There’s only one thing to do—change his plans…and hers. When Natalie’s ex resurfaces to threaten her new life, Trevor will move heaven and earth to make sure the bastard can’t hurt her again. Except saving Natalie means outing his own secrets—and it could mean losing her forever…

 

Review:

Claim & Protect by Rhenna Morgan is the 3rd book in her wonderful Men of Haven series. I love this series, and Rhenna Morgan just keeps on giving us another sensational story focusing on the hot hunky Men of Haven.  The women who tames their hearts  are tough, independent and pretty cool themselves.  Each book has had great couples, and there is so much more to come. 

In Claim & Protect, Trevor Raines is our hero, and he wins our heart almost immediately.  Trevor owns a bar in Dallas, and has a large ranch he calls home.  One night at the bar, Trevor is hanging around his ‘brothers’, when he notices one of his new hires is breaking a ‘no phone’ rule during working hours. 

Natalie Jordan, our heroine, needs her job, but she has some issues at home.  When Trevor approaches her about using the phone, she tells him that her mother is taking care of her 7 year old son, and her ex was giving her a hard time.  Trevor tells her to go home to be with her son, and he will make exceptions to his rule.  However, sensing something more, Trevor decides to check on Natalie at her home, and comes upon the abusive ex forcing his way into their house.  Trevor manages to arrive just in time and introduces himself as Natalie’s new boyfriend, which temporarily will make the ex leave.

Trevor convinces Natalie to go along with the ruse to keep her ex at bay, and despite both of them not wanting any relationship, things will slowly change.  Natalie finds herself very attracted to Trevor, but feels she is not his type.  Her son, Levi, immediately loves being around the cool, smart, savvy Trevor, to the point of hero worship and learning about horses on his ranch. Trevor, having watched Jace and Zeke (in previous books) fall in love, doesn’t plan on falling in love.  However, emotions are hard to control; especially with a woman & a boy, who begin to call to his heart

The romance between Natalie and Trevor becomes hot and steamy, which Morgan does very well.  Though there were a lot of sex scenes, it did not take away from the story, which was wonderful.  What follows is Trevor doing all he can to stop Natalie’s ex, and getting his “brothers’ to help.  Natalie does not want to lose custody of Levi, which her well connected ex threatens to do.  But the men of the Haven Brotherhood are more powerful, and together they will stop the ex from trying to frame Trevor in illegal drugs, and turn the table against him.

This was an exciting, and emotional storyline, especially revolving around Natalie and Levi.  The sexual chemistry between Trevor and Natalie was off the wall sizzling, and I loved them together.  Another sensational couple that Morgan has created, and it was sweet, sexy and beautiful to watch them realize that they were falling in love.    What makes this series great, are the wonderful characters that make up the Men of Haven , and the woman who become part of it.  Levi was a great addition to the story, and elevated the emotional heartwarming element.  Claim & Protect continues the trend of fantastic stories among the men of the Men of Haven.   Rhenna Morgan continues to rise up in becoming an author I cannot wait to read. You need to be reading this series.
