A review by bookish_kristina
The Protector by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Did not finish book.
Nope. DNF after chapter 1. No rating.
This starts off with him waking up with another woman in his bed and he treats her like a piece of garbage, then moves on to him glorifying his soldiering and killing in Afghanistan setting himself up as a good guy and we can all guess who and what colour the bad guys are, then he takes a job protecting a model/socialite and basically objectifies her before he even meets her… and it lost me. None of this appeals. It really shows its age and it squicked me early on with its Islamophobia and misogyny. Plus the male narrator sounds like my brother in law and that’s just gross.
I’m having no luck with audiobooks this week. Is there nothing light and fun out there anymore that isn’t a romcom (those are torture).
