Called to Protect by Lynette Eason ~ Review

Lucie's Review:

Chloe St. John has been working on the K-9 force with her canine partner, Hank, for over a year. Chloe and Hank join a special task force to bring back US Marshall Blake MacCallum's daughter, who has been kidnapped and is being held as leverage for blackmail.

Blake has been to assigned to guard a judge, and when his daughter is taken the kidnappers demand that he kill the judge in return for his daughter's life. Will he and Chloe find a way to thwart the kidnapper's evil plans and mend their broken hearts?

Blake is torn between the love of his daughter, and duty, he is clever and quick thinking calling on his friend in the FBI to help him out. Blake is understandably very stressed out, he is a man of action and he hates the helplessness that he feels to help his daughter.

Chloe is a great partner, supportive and honest, she knows what to say to Blake, and prays for him and Rachel constantly. Chloe is a well of strength and competence, and holds to her faith throughout.

Blake's daughter, Rachel, is brave, determined, and somewhat stubborn, she helps them track down the guy who took her, but doesn't run because she hopes to help her friend who was also taken.

Overall, I loved the suspense of this book, it has great dialog, and admirable characters. It is chock full of action, and it was hard to put down. I thought that it dealt well with the difficult topic of human trafficking, though as a mother it was hard to read about, but it is good to be aware of this very present issue. Great pacing makes this story fly by. I loved the way that this book portrays the men and women who risk their lives to protect and serve.
