“Return to Indian Lake with this eleventh heartwarming story, Hers to Protect. (But don’t worry if you haven’t read them all yet—I haven’t, and I still enjoyed this story plenty.)
Rookie ILPD cop Violet Hawks dreams of leaving her small-town for some big-city action. Yet, when drug-trade rumors lead to her arrest of race car driver Josh Stevens, it just might be time for her perspective to change. Circumstances brings Violet and Josh together again and again, and though instantly likeable as a couple, they must still overcome suspicions, past guilt, and the distance and danger of their careers.
Though a few relationship moments toward the end seemed too (unnecessarily) black-and-white dramatic, I had fun with this story between Violet and Josh that Hers to Protect delivers. There’s plenty of romance amidst the cop intrigue and small-town charm. For the reader looking for a quick, contemporary read, it is sure to be a delightful and fun summer-reading choice.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
