Power. Order. Defiance.
Chad and Yumi have mental abilities that make them powerful and dangerous. If not for the training provided by The Agency, they'd lack skill, refinement, and purpose. As two parts of the most powerful Protector's Circle ever, Chad and Yumi are just one mission away from becoming full-fledged Protectors.
Chad has the ability to listen in on any mind in the universe, while Yumi has a mental shout that can fry a person's brain in three seconds flat. But neither of them is all-powerful, and Yumi has a weakness that causes her immense pain whenever someone touches her. Chad's weakness may just be the unrequited love he has for Yumi.
As the pair travels to a routine wormhole stabilization, Chad and Yumi have more than their feelings to worry about. It turns out the Agency hasn't told them everything about the mission, and when they find out the truth, they'll need to make a choice that'll change their lives forever.
Protect Us is a sci-fi romance novel set in a future where telepathy and other mental abilities are commonplace. If you like palpable sexual tension, steamy love scenes, and action-packed space adventures, then you'll love R.A. Roque's beautifully written gem.

It's more mellow than my usual. It is a slow paced, sweet romance with Sci-Fi elements.R.A. Roque sets up a world that is interesting and thoughtful. There are so many hints to the wider picture, I was dying to know more about, but our focus for this story is really two people - Chad and Yumi. Chad carries an overwhelming flame for Yumi even though they have been separated for years, but Yumi carries a trauma so deep that being touched causes her physical pain.I felt a good connection with the two characters, especially Chad. He was very warm and likeable, someone I would like to know in real life. Yumi's trauma keeps her apart from others and the mystery of it might have kept her apart from me a bit as well. But she's an angry young girl, striking out because of the pain within. I could relate and sympathize with her.The supporting characters Shiv and Gracie were great friends any of us would be happy to have.Chad and Yumi's growth and change are the story, and it feels natural and real. The antagonist is mysterious and subtle.Chad is a bit insecure and unsure of himself. He's the perfect popular guy who doesn't realize his popularity or charm. I was very happy when he stepped up to the challenge and took charge. Yumi's opening and allowing herself to be vulnerable and to trust the people who care about her was quite fulfilling.The angst of being torn apart and facing a heart rending tragedy - which was of a very interesting metaphysical nature - was sad. But the most memorable moments was when Chad decided to enjoy what time he had with Yumi instead of running, and that brought tears to my eyes. The question of "If you only had one day left to live, what would you do." is answered very well here.Yumi's trauma was disturbing - and thankfully not as disturbing as it could have been, I was worried there for a bit - but still, heart rending in a way that any mother or anyone with a mother will immediately feel.I did not really like the ending - it fell a bit flat for me. I would have liked a bit of action to the faceoff, a psionic fight there would have been great. There's this whole universe to explore and they go home? I wish they would have went to the new alien's world - who we were introduced to in such a teasing and fleeting manner! I wanted that to be so much more of the story. Interstellar politics, Human duplicity, dubious organizations that have shady agendas! I hope that R.A. Roque explores that in much more detail in later books!The romance sets up through the whole book, and doesn't consummate until the end. Its a slow burn with very real reasons for the MCs not to physically connect until Yumi's trauma is dealt with. Though there are some steamy hints throughout, the hot stuff is part of the resolution. I'm partial to the hot stuff, which was well done when it was finally presented.The pacing was the main issue for me. Lots of internal ruminations and conflict - which I get, most of the conflict was in the MCs heads - but it made it run a bit slow for me. Yumi & Chad did feel like young adults, with the insecurities and at times misguided confidence that comes with youth.The psionic elements are very intriguing - the idea of using Psis to assist space travel was pretty unique. The internal rooms and landscape for telepathic communication was also well done and interesting. If R.A. Roque takes this storyline and further explores the aliens and politics, further books are definitely on my list.I was provided a copy of this book for an honest review.

Complex characters that evolve throughout the story By Emma Jaye The tale starts with four young adults, all with complex mental powers, who share a deep bond finishing their training in different parts of the galaxy. Yumi is hard as nails, but can't stand being touched due to a childhood trauma. Chad is so compassionate that he has trouble speaking his mind. I liked the fact that this pair have non gendered stereotype behaviours, usually it is the male that is callous, and the female that is overly emotional, but as the story unfolds, the reasons and causes of their behaviour unfold.When Yumi projects herself into Chad's mind, their 'virtual' selves can touch, but neither one wants their relationship to be mental only, besides, the rules say they can't get together, but that is the least of their problems. An alien delegation to Earth and a conspiracy brings things to a head in a suitably dramatic fashion, although aspects of the quartets past are left unsaid, which I'm dying to know.Excellent writing, intriguing, unusual characters and believable world building make this scifi with a central romantic element a winner for me.

A first novel written by a writer whose talent and potential is under development presents a conundrum. In Protect Us by R.A. Roque, a story set in the distant future when travel between galaxies is a routine made possible by wormholes, we can see glimpses of the author’s flair and abilities.From the outset, the writer utilizes a clever and deft technique to overcome the inherent weakness of first person stories: their inability to show the internal thoughts and struggles of characters other than the protagonist. In Protect Us, the chapters alternate between Chad, protagonist 1a, and Yumi, protagonist 1b. Their love for one another is the foundation for the story’s tension, conflict, and drama. It instills in the reader what every author, both beginner and expert, strives mightily to achieve: emotional involvement. You will rage, despair, laugh, sympathize, scorn, grin, roll your eyes, and thrill as the interactions between the two lovers form and shape the plot. An untalented writer will cause a reader to turn the page with great indifference.Moreover, the author achieves what very few first time authors can accomplish: an exceptionally well-edited book (I found no typos and I’m good at it), no misspellings, and near flawless grammar.Unfortunately, the author’s promise and potential, solid though it is, cannot overcome the structural flaws created through inexperience. For example, the author leaps at every opportunity to inject herself into the story. When Chad and Yumi, martial arts experts both, begin a sparring session, Chad observes, “She stepped into a back stance, snapping hands into position and doing that little beckoning thing that Morpheus does to Neo in the movie The Matrix. It was infuriating.” Indeed.Or, when told he will command a Class 4 starship, though he has trained only in Class 2 starships, Chad muses, “A Class 2 starship is like a minivan back on Earth…” Leaving aside that in a universe where wormholes are ubiquitous, a starship would be necessary in the first place, it is doubtful Chad would have any idea what a minivan is. Or who Morpheus is. Today’s youth (God bless them) have no idea what a floppy disk is. Without any foundation or context, only the author can form these analogies and though the story is replete with such intrusions, I limit myself to two for the sake of brevity.The most telling sentence in this book however, is an innocuous one. “You would usually say dating.” It is Yumi’s response to an alien’s incorrect use of ‘mating’. Obviously, the author well understands an alien would not have mastered English’s more subtle nuances. But the distinction does not apply to the story’s humans. They all speak with present day idioms, slang, and pop culture speech patterns. Since we no longer use words like ‘forsooth’ and ‘harken’, I very much doubt the future’s youth will use: cool, get it, frickin, amazing (especially with the ‘so’ preface’), super, awesome, whatever, as if, and wtf (spelled out, of course). Speaking of which, vulgarity, an acceptable literary form when used for emphasis or as a character’s personality, is well within a writer’s prerogative. But in this world, the slightest provocation results in everyone (except the aliens) dropping f-bombs everywhere. It just gets tedious.I am confident in recommending this book to fans of Romance novels enthralled by the emotional ups and downs two people must endure on the road to happiness and love everlasting. The author does a credible job of detailing just that. I also recommend this book to those interested in following the career of a burgeoning novelist or to readers contemplating their first novel. Science fiction enthusiasts may be disappointed as the SF aspect serves only as incidental backdrop, a casual, undeveloped throw-in to the journey of Chad and Yumi.I urge the author to stay the course. Writing is a learnable craft.
