Immortal Protector by Elizabeth Finn is the first installment in The Immortals series. Immortal Protector is a fantastic read that I just could not put down. Immortal Protector grabs you from the first sentence and doesn’t let go of you until you devour the last word. I have never read Elizabeth Finn before but she is now on my list of favorite authors and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

Ember’s life would be changed forever on one fateful day…the day she was kidnapped by a pervert bent on killing her. All Ember wanted was her mom and to be home with her.

Immortal Protector is jammed full of action and full of passionate scenes between Truman and Ember. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot of Immortal Protector that keep the action going at a good pace. Immortal Protector has a perfect blend of action and romance. I enjoyed Truman’s character a lot. I like that he felt protective of Ember even when she was a child. I think that having him as a protector was a good thing. I liked the bond that was created between them. I also liked that he had morals and didn’t take advantage of her when he could have. I liked Ember too her character was believable for the most part. I am not sure that I could have lived a normal life after being traumatized at ten. There were also some good villainous characters in Immoral Protector. They used others and to get what they wanted. Especially when it came to Truman, Ember was a pawn they tried to use to control him. I would highly recommend Immortal Protector to anyone who enjoys paranormal romances with a fast moving plot.
