DESCRIPTION:
A cop, a foster mom and a canine protector are on the case
Foster mom Stella Smith and Officer Joe Carpenter’s makeshift family unit is threatened with the arrival of two new vulnerable foster boys and a terror campaign waged by the boys’ biological mother’s violent boyfriend. When threats and extortion fail, the culprit resorts to kidnapping at gunpoint, leaving Stella injured and the kids fighting for survival. It will take a fearless cop—and a fiercely loyal canine—to face down a monster and bring the children home alive.
MY THOUGHTS:
Stella Smith is a loving foster mom and her life is about to change when she meets KCPD Sergeant Joe Carpenter. The meet during a blind date and the couple hit it off. Meanwhile Stella’s little family grows overnight when she is called to the police station to pick up two little boys, Gio and Tyrell, brothers who just might be in danger. Apparently there is someone after the boys and this then puts Stella and her foster kids in danger.
Found family is becoming one of my favorite tropes. Love can be found at any age and with this sweet story, that definitely is the case for Stella and Joe. First, they must get past the danger that is close on its heels. What a sweet, suspenseful story.
Many thanks to Harlequin Audio and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
