Protected by the Hunter
ZEC’K
Siobhan’s scent calls me to claim her, but I tell her the same lie I tell everyone else: I’m not interested in a mate. I focus on her delicious creations instead, even though she’s the one I truly crave.
I try to stay away, but I cannot. Everything draws me to her, and when I learn of her quest to find her sister, my mouth offers to help before my brain can stop it.
I’m a failed hunter, not worthy of a mate, and every moment alone with the tempting female tests my control. She thinks of me as her protector, but if she knew the thoughts I have about her, she’d run the other way.
SIOBHAN
Everyone is happily settling down in our post-apocalyptic fortress. But I can’t rest yet; I have to get to my sister. It was my last promise to her before communications went dark. Problem is, she lives across the country, and there are miles of bug-filled America between us.
When Zec’k, the sexy hunter who delivers and trades for supplies with our little colony, offers to help, I jump on the opportunity. It’s supposed to be an easy trip, but everything that could go wrong does. And now, I’m not sure I’ll survive this mission without falling for my Xarc’n guide.

Reviews and Comments
This was another great addition to the Xarc'n Warriors Series as well as giving a peak into the Xarc'n Warriors: Mountains Series. This book focuses on Siobhan & Zec’k and how they get together while Zec’k is helping Siobhan to look for her sister Morgan who was living in the mountains when the bugpocalypse hit. Along the way they encounter another couple groups of Hunters as well as a couple anti-hunter groups of humans but everything works out in the end. The epilogue at the end was a really good way of tying this story up. This book can be read as a standalone and while I have read other books from this series (Books 01 - 04, Books 06 & 07, Book 11) I haven't read them all yet, although I plan to and am looking forward to reading Haax’l & Aanya's story next in Desired by the Hunter as well as the spin off series Xarc'n Warriors: Mountains Series.
