Guardians Unleashed Hidden Danger: A Christian K-9 Suspense, Book 1, (Paperback)

Oh boy! What a story this was! Jerusha Agen may be a somewhat new-to-me author but I can already tell that she has her genre down almost to a science. Hidden Danger was a perfect example of just that. It's riveting. It's suspenseful. It's a little on the gritty side. And, it's impossible to put down. One of the things that I loved best about Hidden Danger was that Cora is one of the most unique romantic suspense heroines I've read this year. She isn't a touch-as-nails cop or veteran nor is she a high-powered career woman. Nope, this girl doesn't have all the answers, she gets scared, and she needs a little help now and then with some of the tough stuff. Definite props to Jerusha Agen for giving readers a different kind of heroine to fall in love with in her first Guardians Unleashed novel. (Note, there is a prequel as well.) Don't get me wrong, I liked Kent too. He's tough and hard but exactly what our heroine needs. But...there was something a little special about Cora that gave her the edge in my heart... Hidden Danger is one of Love Inspired Suspense's new full trade length novels. I've enjoyed the shorter 224-ish page books for several years now and , if the rest are as good as these early ones from Jerusha Agen, I know I will be a solid fan. Guardians Unleashed has me hooked without a doubt. I read a lot of books and I can easily say that Hidden Danger was one of my favorites this month. I loved the taut suspense, trying to figure out the villain(s), and just enjoyed the wild ride Jerusha Agen treated her readers to, from bright cityscape to snow covered mountaintop. The scenery is chilling and the danger even more so...grab your mug of hot cocoa and dive into a really good read... (I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher.

Review Jerusha Agen has woven together a fast paced, edge of your seat, hard to put down Christian Romantic Suspense! When Kent Thomson, DEA special agent, and Cora Isaksson, security specialist with Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency meet they never expect to see each other again. They end up having to work together to solve a drug case that impacts both of their lives. Cora's K-9 partner, Jana, is an asset that really adds to solving the case. Throughout the story amidst all of the suspense and fear, God's hope shines through. This is a perfect blend of suspense, fear, hope, romance and faith. I highly recommend this book! Thank you to the author/publisher for the ARC. There were no requirements for a good review. The opinion stated here are strictly my opinion. (less)
