- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018I enjoyed this suspenseful Christian based contemporary Lawkeepers story that has mystery, suspense, action, danger, angst, and clean romance. There is a great cast of characters along with personal emotions and a new relationship.
Special Agent Justine Gillespie and her K-9 German Shepherd, Lindy, are in Pennsylvania on a weeks vacation while she decides what is best for her mother with advanced dementia. As the oldest of three siblings, she lives in Virginia, but it seems the responsibility is falling on her shoulders. Emotions are a factor that leads to running a red light, getting pulled over by Pennsylvania State Trooper Brady Hall, and taken into custody.
The story takes on life and death danger with multiple bomb threats that Justine and Lindy will be called to work while she is in town, and PSP Brady Hall will be at each location in a support role. During the remainder of her stay in town Justine and Brady getting to know each other, and an instant connection between them. But what will come of them being states apart?
“The woman couldn’t be more perfect. God would find a way to work this out. If she were the woman for him, God would make a way. “
Also called to Pennsylvania, will be Special Agent Marc Jackson, partner of Justine. For a short time, Justine and her bomb squad partner, Marc, had secretly dated but they had different goals and called their relationship off. While she is ready to move on, Marc acts and talks as if they are still an item.
Brady has been waiting for the perfect Christian woman to come into his life and is willing to move and change jobs if that is what it takes. Can he get Justine to consider giving them a chance? Will God open the door for them?
“I’ll be waiting for Him to make it work because He brought us together for a purpose greater than bomb disposal. I know what I want, and I intend to get it. Don’t let fear ruin this thing. Promise me that you’ll pray about it.”
I love how both Brady and Justine talk things through, and both of them want a Christian partner, and yet they want someone that will respect their chosen occupation too. When they allow God to lead in their lives, He moves obstacles so that things work out, because they both trusted and asked God to guide them.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023This book had me chuckling at wack a doodle and cheering for Brady and Justine. There was suspense and romance (good balance). The gospel was woven throughout the story! Great job!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2018This was a clean, sweet romance that I really enjoyed. My only problem -- maybe 2 problems -- is that I don't believe in whirlwind romances. I also don't believe that it is possible to write a good romantic suspense novella. Most authors can't pull it off so well -- You either have to focus on the suspense or the romance. You can't do both in a novella. But the romance part of the story was sweet and that is probably the most important thing. I loved that they are both born again believers and trusted God in their decision making. Overall, a good book.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023Nice clean story with interesting details. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I loved the dogs. I would recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018When Brady and Justine meets each other he thinks she’s insane but he changes his opinion right away. He just wants to make her laugh. And soon he just wants to marry her. But does she feel the same, and can their relationship stand the distance?
This was a fun Christian story. And that note from her mother was sooo sweet. Really enjoyed reading this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018Great love story between two K-9 officers. One an FBI officer and the other State Trooper. Justine and Brady meet when she is in town trying to move her mother into a memory care facility when she runs a red light. Although their initial meeting wasn’t under they soon find themselves working together when several bomb threats are made and they go in with the K-9 partners.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2022I first read part of the Lawkeeper series in a different book
refreshing is not only the dedication to their faith, but the importance of career and family for yhe male and female primary characters- as well as the occasional changes of heart with some of the secondary characters
refreshing action and adventure and faith filled romances
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023Brady & Justine are both in law enforcement. Their first meeting finds Brady arresting Justine because she's in a car she doesn't own. That gets quickly resolved & they work together on a case together. Soon they are in love. I found the ending came too quickly & don't think the case was truly resolved. Who was planting bombs?
