Hired to Protect

The Hired Series, Book 2

By: Leann Ryans

Narrated by: Daniel Buttrey

Penny’s ex refused to accept that it was over between them.

Unwilling to live in fear, she hired an alpha to protect her, but she hadn’t realized it would mean allowing him into her home.

Doubt began to take hold until she discovered her ex was still stalking her. She wasn’t going to let him dictate her life, so she pushed on as usual…Until she was attacked and dragged into a waiting van.

Ethan was supposed to protect Penny, but he’d failed. The chair he was tied to wouldn’t stop him, and neither could the laws placed on his dynamic. Her ex wasn’t going to survive long enough to regret his choices, but the drugs he’d given Penny were sending her into heat, and Ethan couldn’t leave her to suffer alone.

How much was he going to pay for breaking the laws governing alphas, and would their bond survive?

How clear the narrator spoke

Narration is very clear
Story line is great looking forward to listening to more books

Great story

This was my first Omegaverse experience which I enjoyed. It was very interesting, kept me engaged and entertained. Love the romantic elements, humor, support characters and the intense unpredictability of the plot. The narrator did a great job. I received a free copy from the author and voluntary chose to share my thoughts/opinion.

Penny & Ethan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hot damn DANIEL BUTTREY!! I am immediately going to look for more alpha books narrated by him. He has the ultimate alpha growl, purr, and deep cadence that was EVERYTHING for the narration of this book. The recording was crisp and clear, no reverb or echo like I heard on the first book.

I read this as an ebook a long time ago and I forgot more of it, so I enjoyed this story like it was the first time. I really liked Ethan and Penny's pairing and characters. As MCs they worked really well together.

This book is a bit darker than the first one but nothing extreme. (Kidnapping, drugging, violence, stalking, mention of attempted s-assault, etc.) Definitely check the trigger warnings from the author if you have reservations.

Leann Ryans definitely stepped it up with this book and I can see how her writing matured from her earlier books. I've already listened to the third book in this series and loved it. I wish there will be more books added to this series but it doesn't seem too likely. But here's hoping the author does. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great Book w/ Versatile Narrator

Narrator Nathanial Buttrey has a very versatile voice. He is great at creating unique voices for each character—he never loses track of who’s who and he’s always entertaining. As far as author Leann Ryans is concerned, I am a huge fan. I always know I’m going to love that dive into the pool of her Alphas—well, Omegas and Betas, too!

Penny has ‘ex’ problems. Big-time ‘ex’ problems. He’s a class-A jerk, woman beating, wishes-he-was-an-Alpha beta. Adrian, Penny’s ex, puts her through h-ee-double-hockey-sticks. Penny hires Ethan for protection. From their first meeting, the chemistry between Ethan and Penny is off the charts. We’re talking H. O. T. 🥵 The threats from her ex escalate, … and, well, you’ll just have to listen and/or read for yourself. I’ll just leave off here by saying, this is a really good book.
