Shielding the Innocent Target Reviews

4.5
“Paige Walsh shockingly witnesses her boss’s murder. His name was Donald Lessing, a federal prosecutor who was doing his best to keep an arms dealer in prison. This not only places Paige’s life in danger, but also that of her son Kenny as well as his therapy dog Aslan. Deputy US Marshal Lucas “Caveman” Cavendish has been assigned to get Paige and Kenny to a safe house until they can be placed in the Witness Protection Program. A never-ending nightmare has begun for all of them. This book was an absolute rollercoaster of danger and action, but it also had a strong faith system that really added depth to the story. The characters were so well-developed, and Aslan made me want a dog of my own! Kenny idolized Lucas from the beginning, his “Cowboy”, and his instant trust in him was so heartwarming. Meanwhile, Paige knew that Lucas was just doing his job to protect them, and he knew it too. But as they spent more time together, a warm feeling started to grow between them. This touching story was an easy read, one that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Many thanks to Love Inspired Suspense and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.”
“I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. There were lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing clear to the end. Lots of fast paced action. And of course the attraction between Paige and Lucas throughout the story. I've always enjoyed reading books by Teri Reed and this one did not disappoint. I was given this book by Love Inspired Suspense via Net/Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.”
“Paige Walsh witnesses her boss’s murder and as the assassin sets eyes on taking out Paige, Deputy US Marshal Lucas Cavendish gets called in to protect Paige and her son until they get into the witness protection program. As they travel to safety Lucas, Paige, Kenny (Paige’s son) & Aslan ( Kenny’s support dog) face multiple threats and dangers and the killer always seeming to know where they were headed so not only does Lucas have protection detail but he has to figure out who is leaking information out of the law enforcement team. This book was full of action packed, edge of your seat suspense that you don’t want to put down. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. The review expressed here is my honest opinion.”
