Desperate times call for desperate measures, and being in the hospital with stitches in my head and no way out makes me pretty desperate. So I log in to a dating app, searching for a guy willing to pretend to be my boyfriend so I can bust out of this overpriced nightmare.

But what do I get?

Accused of being a prostitute. Talk about a waste of phone minutes.

With plan A a no-go, I move on to plan B. Escape. Except, on my way to freedom, I’m nearly pummeled by a man wearing all black and with the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.

When he pretends to be my boyfriend, I’m shook. And even more shook when I discover this is the rude guy from the app.

Turns out he’s not only rude but bossy, irritable, and he keeps calling me a walking hazard. I go along with the lie anyway, thinking I can ditch him as soon as I’m free.

Except that doesn’t happen.

I end up back at his place, eating soup and trying hard not to catch feelings.

Then my apartment is broken into, and I’m running for my life, confused, injured, and with nowhere else to go. Kieran vows to keep me safe, something he seems more than capable of… Which is kinda odd for a real estate agent, right?

As the threat to my life intensifies, I start to wonder if I’ll make it to my next birthday and, more importantly, if trusting Kieran is the deadliest hazard of all.

Ahhhh another amazing book from Cambria. When she has a new book coming out, I am all ready for it.

Haz lives paycheck to paycheck and surviving. He winds up in the hospital wanting to leave , hello costs of being treated, and wants to leave. He seeks alternative means to get discharged and here he meets Haz.

Haz comes to the rescue and off their insta love story begins.

They had amazing chemistry, they get a little wild, and this book is such fun.

This is the first book of the Protectors series and I can’t wait for more.
The narrators really knew how to bring the characters to life.

Love it

The Hazard and the Hitman is the first book in the Protectors series. This book is about Kieran and Haz and is told from both of their points of view.

After Haz is in an accident and he can't leave the hospital without someone to watch over him, he gets on a dating app to try to see who might be on to help him. When the guy on the app calls him out he gives up hope, and tries to escape on his own. However, when the hot guy named Kieran shows up and pretends to be his boyfriend, he is speechless. Kieran isn't sure what prompted him to come to Haz's rescue, but now that he has him in his clutches he is intrigued by him.

This book has some twists and turns I didn't see coming. Haz has things keep happening to him, he's never had anyone on his side, and isn't sure what to think about Kieran. What happens when he finds out what Kieran's real job is? What happens when he finds out why the people are after him? Can Kieran keep Haz safe? Will Kieran and Haz get their happy ending?

I enjoyed this book, and am excited for the next book in the series!

This was my first by the author and it was so much fun! I loved the banter between the characters and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat.

I definitely think my favorite part of the story was how the two MCs met. I was cracking up when I found out Haz was on a hook-up app trying to get Kieran to give him a ride home from the hospital. It was so on brand for Haz.

After the two meet and Kieran sees what a hazard Haz is to himself, he becomes the perfect amount of over the top and posessive to keep Haz safe (sometimes from himself).

Haz is kind of a hot mess throughout the book, but he really is put through the ringer so it is makes sense. I loved that he had a little bit of a bratty side with Kieran and when pushed back and stood up for himself.

Overall, this was a fun story with darker elements and I definitely hope it becomes a series so we can see more from the other characters!

so much fun!

Oh my goodness! This is wonderful! I enjoyed the possessiveness of Mmc. We really get to see him in action as well. I also was surprised at Haz and how he just filtered into “K” life and smoothed those rough edges. I loved that he adored plants/fish! The best part is the humor that is scattered throughout. I found myself grinning more than once at the banter and not just between the two MC. Narration is well done and made this enjoyable to listen to.

A good one!

You never know where you will find your soulmate. Kieran finds himself in need of some company after getting stitches at the hospital. Looking on a dating app seems to be a good idea, and there he finds Haz. And his eyes. Yes, this alpha male was captivated by Haz's eyes. With a strange request, Kieran goes and the next thing you know, his over protectiveness kicks in and he knows Haz is the man for him. But Haz isn't quite on the same page yet. As these to banter back and forth, and they become closer, Kieran is given a job he is sure he cannot perform. Danger with a twist I didn't see coming, this had my heart.Feelings, gangsters, witty banter, off the charts chemistry, this book has it all and it's the kind of listen that I just could not put down. Cambria Hebert always delivers and this one is fantastic.

Avery Wilde and Thomas C Wylde come in with an impeccable narration. Each scene is filled with the chemistry that makes these two so good. There is perfect comedic timing, and a building suspense that kept me captivated. A fabulous performance.

Hazard & Kieran!
