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…

Wow! First thing Elle James did was rip my heart out. Bryce “Cole” Coleman had already lost his pregnant wife and child in a car wreck, then he loses his buddy in battle. Survivor’s guilt anyone? So he gets out of the military and while drunk in a bar Jake Cogburn and Max “Thorn” Thornton meet up with him and offer him a job. Since that is what his buddy was going to do, he accepts. His first assignment is to find Dr. Staci Miller at a small backwoods town she’s in and remind her to call her Dad. Except do you really think it will be that easy?! It was exciting from the start and I loved it. Definite page-turner, I couldn’t put it down.

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.

I received this book as an ARC. Bryce “Cole” Coleman has had nothing but loss in his life. First his wife and son were killed in a car accident and then his best friend was killed in battle. Retired and with nothing to look forward to, he is asked to join the Brotherhood Protectors. His first assignment is to locate Dr Staci Miller who has volunteered her medical services to a small mining community, Glory Valley. After being there a short time , she starts to notice some strange things going on. When she is kidnapped and held prisoner by this backward’s group, Cole must find her. This is a touching story between two lost souls finding each other and getting their HEA. I am a big fan of Elle James books and I can add this to my collection as another great book.

4.5 Stars This is book 6 in the Brotherhood Protectors: Colorado series and it features Bryce “Cole” Coleman and Staci Miller.  He’s living life in a bottle after leaving the Army and the tragedies he’s experienced.  That is until he gets a visit from Jake and Max of the Brotherhood Protectors.  His first assignment is to find Dr. Staci Miller, as she failed to check in with her daily phone call.  She’s donating her services in a small mountain mining community but there’s some mighty strange things going on in this town. After some back story for Cole, there is no other military action.  Regardless, the story line is fantastic!  The character growth for Cole was incredible and inspiring.  I love this romance that started in the pitch black. You know your reading a well written story when you can actually see it happening as you’re reading it. I can’t wait for more from this amazing author.
