Olympic Mountain Pursuit (Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit, 4)

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Olympic Mountain Pursuit. This is book four in the continuity series Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit. I'm a huge fan of Jodie's work so I was thrilled to see she wrote this one. It's well-written, action-packed, and full of faith. I know you'll love it. Black Bear Habitat Outreach Tech Every Lopez is watching a big black male bear and a cougar fit over lunch. When she turns around a man is standing behind her with a gun pointed at her. He threatens her! Holding a can of bear spray she uses it on her attacker and runs. As she runs across a wooden bridge another man approaches from the other end and calls her name. They have found her! She jumps. Pacific Northwest K-9 Officer Jackson Dean can't believes she jumped. He jumps in after her. He catches her but has a hard time convincing her who he is. Four years ago he had been her handler in witness protection. He had been with her when her baby was born and helped her through the terrible time. He had fallen hard for her and the baby and quit the Marshal's service. Now he must protect her again. A horrific journey to stay out of the hands of paid assassins. God has a plan for these two, a plan for hope and a future. God has a plan for you too. A good plan of peace and not destruction. Give Him your heart and watch Him move in your life

Another compelling addition to this continuity series, though it reads wonderfully well as a standalone too. There’s an overarching suspense plot that slowly builds through all the books and won’t be solved until the last one, but each book has it’s own suspense and romance that come to satisfactory conclusions so you aren’t left with too much of a cliffhanger. 🙂 I really loved the way this story developed. Not as fast paced as many Love Inspired Suspense novels, but no less captivating — maybe even more so because of the unique pacing. There’s still plenty of action — but enough ‘down time’ in between to really get into the intricacies of the romance. An almost-but-not-quite second chance love story. Jackson and Everly developed a close bond four years ago when he over saw her protection in the WITSEC programme. But, of course, those circumstances aren’t conducive to romance and we fast forward four years to a time when so much as changed for both of them. I really appreciated Everly’s very real struggle with her anger towards God. I found those scenes so honest — emotionally raw — and very relatable. Moving and inspiring. I listened to the audible edition of Olympic Mountain Pursuit, expertly narrated by Cindy Kay. I’m beyond thrilled that the whole series is available on audible and I have them all pre-ordered and ready to start listening to the day they release. A special kind of bibliophile thrill.

A single mom, who’s in the witness protection program, and her daughter face danger, but a K-9 officer tries to keep them safe through all the risks and attacks. The intriguing plot and compelling characters draw you in. The exciting, drama-filled story will keep you bound to the book until the end. And, of course, it has a growing love relationship included. I like that the main character studied bears and taught her daughter about them too. The Northwest setting, in my part of the world, is a winner in my view too. I received a copy from the author. All opinions are my own.

A husband murdered. A baby born. Mother and child gone into witness protection. A caring agent assigned to protect them. A lot of danger when they kept being found. A must read.

This is a great romantic suspense story involving Jackson, a former US Marshall now part of the Pacific Northwest K-9 unit, and Everly, a single mother in WITSEC. Jackson protected Everly when she testified against Kassandra, a human trafficker, who had murdered Everyl's husband. Now Kassandra has escaped prison and is targeting Everly, and Jackson and his K-9 partner Rex have to protect her and her daughter Amelia. The storyline was wonderful, suspenseful, and action-packed. Everly had her moments of getting angry with and questioning God because of her situation. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.
