K-9 Alaskan Defense By Sarah Vaughn

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, K-9 Alaskan Defense. I'm a big fan of Sarah's work so I was glad to receive this book in the mail. It's well-written, action-packed, and full of intrigue. I know you are going to love it.

Lily Peterson is out running the mountain ridgeline as she had done with her now deceased fiancé. Her K-9, Timber is with her. Her dog ran off and she followed only to find a dead body. She was suddenly knocked sidewise by a blurry force. She slid down the mountainside but was able to stop before going over the edge. As the man reached for her the dog attacked him. He threw Timber off and ran. Lily calls the only man she can trust.

Ex-police officer Travis Beckett was shocked to hear from Lily. He hadn't been a part of her life since his partner, her fiancé was killed. He felt like he had failed her. He should have been the one killed not Matt. He dropped everything and ran up the ridgeline to meet her. She told him today was the one year anniversary of Matt's death. You could see the spot from where he die from where they stood. There was a piece of paper that fell from the dead man's pocket. It was her address. She was in trouble.

A terrifying journey to stay ahead of the killer and find answers. God has a plan for these two, a plan for hope and a future. God has a plan for you too. Give Him you heart and watch Him turn your life around.
