Book Review: Protecting his Night by Nola Marie

 

Book Review

 


Basic Details:

Book Title: Protecting His Night

Subtitle: The Men of River City Book 2

Author: Nola Marie

Genre: Romance

Part of a series? Yes

Order in series: 2

Best read after earlier books in series? No, can be read as stand-alone, but better if read after the first in the series.

Available: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54856188-protecting-his-night

 

Overall score:

I scored this book 4/5

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Short Summary of the book:

In this book, we meet Rory, the older brother of Jax (the main character in the first book in the series). Rory is involved with the mafia and sent the love of his life away 10 years earlier to keep her safe.

However, Layla returns to Riverside after her dad dies and works in one of Rory’s clubs as a waitress. She is keen to remain under the radar after escaping Damien with her young daughter. What will happen once Rory finds out?

What I liked about the book:

It was nice to read how this mafia strong man had a soft side. This already showed itself in the first book, but was even more obvious in this book.

What I didn’t like about the book:

Like in the first book, there were several grammatical errors and duplication or missing of words making it difficult to read at times. This did not in the slightest take away from the storytelling and I kept turning the pages to find out what would happen next.

My favourite bits in the book:

Where Rory finds out Bella is his daughter.

My least favourite bits in the book:

Only the fact the book needs some further editing. It’s a great book nonetheless.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the second book in this series and I suspect there will be more to follow.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Several books share the same ‘one chapter per viewpoint’ characteristic.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Possibly

Adult

Yes

 

If you like romance this book may be the book for you.

 

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Protecting His Night: The Men of River City book 2

Rory

The moment I saw her in my best friend's kitchen, I knew I was done. She was it. She was everything. But I am not a good person. I was never going to be the man she deserved. When she was sent away, I let her go.

Ten years later, she's back. Except this time one thing is perfectly clear. I won't let her go again.

 

Layla

He was my first...everything. I will never love anyone the way I love him. But he watched me go ten years ago. He thought it was best for me. I didn't get a choice.

He never tried to find me after I was gone. It doesn't matter how much I still love him because after he abandoned me when I needed him most, I can never trust him again.

 

Intended for mature readers only due to violence and explicit situations.

Short Summary of the book:

Twins Zoey and Zane have been best friends with Jax since they met him. Actually, Zoey has been in love with Jax ever since they met at the age of 8. Only at graduation night do they admit this fact to each other. Friends and family have always seen it. Life is great for the three-some until Zoey is attacked in New York. Will they be able to help her heal?

What I liked about the book:

The story was great and kept me turning the pages. The storytelling was good.

What I didn’t like about the book:

The book still needs some significant editing. There were several grammatical errors, duplication of words or missing words. This did, however, not take away from the great storytelling.

My favourite bits in the book:

The time where Zoey and Jax finally realised their feelings were mutual.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The painful separation Zoey, Jax and Zane went through.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I understand the author has written several books. I have also read the second book in this series.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Interestingly, this book uses the same writing style of separate chapters for different points of view as I employed in my books. The chapters are set out showing the viewpoint from either Jax or Zoey’s side.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

 

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

 

If you like romance with a twist this book may be the book for you.

 

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Zoey

 

I met him when I was eight, and loved him. He was my best friend. At fourteen I fell in love with him. Maybe I always was. Then graduation night he kissed me. Told me he loved me too. That day made me think everything would be perfect.

Until the unthinkable happened, and nothing was perfect. I've lost myself and I've pushed him away. That day left me so broken and damaged, and I don't know if I can find my way back.

 

Jax

 

I've loved Zoey for so long I can't remember not loving her. Until that fateful phone call made it seem like the end.

I have to find a way to help the girl I love heal because living without her isn't an option. She is everything to me. She is my life.
