I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion. I truly enjoyed this book. The story has great suspense and a beautiful budding romance between Luke and Danica. Danica and her dog Hutch are investigating a murder that involves Luke’s sister. Luke, who is learning to be a single dad, is also being targeted. Danica and her K9 are tasked with protecting Luke and his son. Little do they know there is more than one crime associated to Luke. If you are up for a Love Inspired Romance this is one for you. 3.5 stars

Shielding the Baby by Laura Scott was a great mystery. You can depend on her to write a book that pulls you into it right from the start and keeps you there until the end. Then you wish it didn’t end yet. I can’t wait for her next book to come out in May. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin-Romance, US & Canada, Love Inspired Suspense was released March 28, 2023.

Danica is working near Mount Raise with her partner Hutch when she is called to the scene of a double homicide. Luke's sister was one of the victims. Danica visits Luke and his baby son Caden to tell him about his sister. Then someone attacks Luke and Danica stays to help protect him and the baby. Then things get really crazy. You still have an overarching mystery that will go throughout the series. I can't wait to see how that goes. The pace is breakneck and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with an action and character oriented storyline. The characters are vivid and endearing. The Christian ideals are woven into the story. This is a great introduction to a new K-9 Unit series. I am hooked on these! They are always chock full of action with fantastic dog partners.
