Alaskan Search and Rescue #3

The Protector's Mission
Alaskan Search and Rescue: Risking their lives to save the day.

Lydia McKenzie is the only living witness to a serial bomber's latest threat.  Surviving the explosion at the cafe`, Lydia is rescued by police sergeant Jesse Hunt and his K-9 partner, a Rottweiler named Brutus.  She's struggling to remember details of the incident.  But one thing she'll never forget is how she once felt about Jesse- the high school sweetheart she left to marry another.  In charge of her protection, the guarded cop believes the bomber is after her, and he promises to keep her safe.  But as more of Lydia's memories return, the more the vicious killer wants her dead. 

The Protector's Mission (Alaskan Search and Rescue #3) 
Expected publication: September 1st 2015 by Love Inspired 
5 stars

God is our refuge and strength, 
a very present help in trouble. 
- Psalms 46:1

What a riveting story that keeps you guessing until the end!
I loved this story!  

Lydia McKenzie is a young woman who
 grew up in Alaska and fell in love with Jesse Hunt, but made a bad decision that changed her life forever.  She left Alaska in the blink of an eye, but now she's back. 
Coming back wasn't her decision, but when her father died she was left not only his veterinary  practice, but also guardianship of her younger sister. 
Jesse Hunt works as a sergeant with the local police department with his K-9 partner, Brutus.  When he isn't doing his police work, he is volunteering for search and rescue operations in Alaska.  He is in the middle of a church bombing investigation when the call comes in that the bomber has struck again at a local diner, Melinda's. Upon his arrival his first thought was that the bomber was escalating with each site and the amount of time between each. Upon hearing Lydia was in the diner when the bomb exploded his gut knotted with dread, but finding her proved easier than anticipated.  She's injured, but not dead thank goodness.  
Jesse feels that Lydia seen something that she can't remember and that something could put her in danger if the bomber thinks it's significant.  Jesse vows to protect her and his heart.  Lydia realizes that something is eluding her, but what she's unsure.  The police think she needs protection and at this point she's not entirely sure.  
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and have your heart pounding.  The characters capture your attention from page one, but the plot line keeps the pages turning.  Ms. Daley has a unique ability to weave words that draw the reader into the story as though they were a part of the story.  This is book is #4 in the Alaskan Search and Rescue series which is centered around a search and rescue mission, but is definitely a stand alone story.  
This story reminds me that God is always there for us and we need to learn to turn to him for not only guidance, but also comfort during our trials. 
I would definitely recommend this story to anyone who loves suspense or a good romance.  
I received this book from the author and publisher for a honest review without bias or outside influence as stated above.
