Our Review:
“Will he be able to save her in time? 5 stars”
Alta has had a rough life and is just a shell of herself. Then the disappearance of women at her park brings in the FBI. With the FBI comes Cas to help assist on the case. He’s cold and savage. What Cas never expected was Alta, the woman brings him back to life. She makes him feel possessive and warm for the first time in years. The question is will these two catch the killer before they get to Alta?
I love twisted suspense romances. I loved how shut off Cas was and how he couldn’t help but open up under Alta’s eyes. She literally brought him back to life. I loved how Alta didn’t let her past completely control her. She found a way to cope even if it wasn’t up to some people’s standards. So, you have these two who can’t stay away from each other and you also have Chandler who is the FBI agent working close with them. He was the perfect secondary character cheering them on from the get go. Will these three be able to stop women from disappearing and figure out what’s really going on? Only one way to find out.
I solidly enjoyed Mine to Protect. I somewhat saw the twist in the story. I didn’t see the who but I saw the circumstance surrounding the case of missing women. Mitchell wrote the story cleverly enough to give you an idea but not a definitive one. If you take a chance on Mine to Protect I don’t think you’ll regret it. I hope, we sometime get Chandler’s story.

Excerpt
“Stay away from me, Lady.”
Her eyes met mine, daring her to push back. “What? I didn’t mean—”
“I’m not the man you think I am. I’m an asshole with more control issues than they can diagnose. I’m not a nice guy.”
“But I’m safe,” she whispered in a voice so fragile, it chipped at my resolve to stay away for her sake.
Fuck, that weak voice cracked every restraint I had. All she wanted to be was safe, and that was the one thing I could offer. “No one—I repeat, no one will touch you while I’m here. That is a fact you shouldn’t question.”
Her tight shoulders dropped, her lips parted in a relieved sigh. There was trust there, trust I hadn’t earned yet, but still she gave it—to me, a nobody.
Fuck it.
Narrowing my eyes, I crouched directly in front of her, inching closer until her back pressed against the brick hearth. Inches from her nose, I inhaled each of her shaky breaths, savoring the heated fear that pulsed off her as her eyes darkened with lust. She needed to be scared of me, to run in the opposite direction.
Still I dared another inch closer, hoping she’d push me off, praying she wouldn’t.
I slid a hand around the hot skin of her delicate neck.
“I don’t know how to be gentle, Lady,” I growled.
Her breath hitched at the minuscule squeeze of my fingers around her throat.
“What if I don’t want gentle?” she breathed.
“What do you want?”
Light brown brows pulled together in thought, but her hazel eyes stayed locked with mine. “You.”
