4.5 Blue Ribbons: "Melanie's Protector is the first book in Sage Burnett's Rodeo Cowboy series, starting it off with a bang. This book is fast paced and will delight readers with the interactions between Melanie and Steve. Melanie is just an innocent woman who accidentally saw some incriminating files in the governor's office. Steve is a cowboy whose mama taught him to always help a lady in trouble and he takes her teachings to heart. Melanie didn't want to involve Steve in her problems but from the minute she kidnapped him, he takes on her worries as his own. Watch for the next books in this series, Karly's Drifter and Josie's Heartbreaker." ––Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies

4 Stars: "Melanie's Protector, the first in a new series by Sage Burnett, is a delightful novella that mixes passion with a sprinkling of suspense. The characters are very likeable, and the chemistry between them sizzles on the page...Sex between the pair is described in rather explicit detail, with none of the more risque sexual acts being incorporated into the storyline--though their encounters do take place in a variety of places. Do you love a cowboy tale? Ever fantasize about a guy's cute butt encased in a tight pair of denim jeans? Or do you simply enjoy strong, handsome men rescuing damsels in distress? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then Melanie's Protector is undoubtedly a great story for you. I have enjoyed it, and shall certainly be watching for the upcoming books in the Rodeo Cowboys series." ––Elizabeth Marie, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
