Publisher's summary

A small town sheriff running from her past learns to love again in the first book in K-9 Defenders, a suspenseful new romance series from award-winning author Sandra Owens.

Every small town has its secrets…

Chief of police Tristan Church likes Marsville just the way it is. He has his job and his police dog, Fuzz, for company. He could have Sheriff Skylar Morgan, too, but she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length, even if the one night they shared was unforgettable.

Skylar can’t deny that the connection she has with Tristan is unlike anything she’s ever felt before. She loves Marsville, but while most of the town is happy with her as Sheriff, it’s been a long, hard road proving herself. Dating the town’s beloved police chief is the last thing her reputation needs—even if it’s exactly what her heart wants.

But when their sleepy little town is suddenly full of dangers, it’s clear that someone is targeting Skylar. She and Tristan must work together to find the culprit…and as the threat against her grows, so does the intimacy between them. With their lives on the line, can they trust their hearts not to break?

Rated R

Good story, the narrator was very good. The sex did not add anything to the book. Matter of fact just fast forward to story.

I enjoyed all 3 books of the series. So filled with intrigue and suspense. I will enjoy rereading them again and sharing them with my avid book reading friends.

Suspense, romance, very good performance

This book has an interesting set of characters that are well developed as the story progresses. It has a slow but steady pace in the beginning with more action towards the end. I love the dog. It is an enjoyable book. The performance is very good except for the little girl's voice. I look forward to more in this series.

I think this is part one of a 3 brothers saga. Yeah!

Loved the family aspect and the positive affection they all had for each other. Even the townspeople were part of that for the most part. Good story.

In his Protection

This is my favorite book by Sandra Owens so far. Not a slow book the story flows very well. It is suspenseful and leaves you wanting more.

Boring story.

I have listened 3 of Sandra Owens books and 2 were great but this one really missed the mark. Too drawn out with no exciting story till chapter 40. It was chapter after chapter about them. Very boring

The inconsistent character building is what kills the story. The rift between the H and h is unlikely in functional adults. I have no urge to continue reading anything from this author, especially anything to do with law enforcement.

The reader did a good job, mostly what saved the book. I think I probably would have not finished this book except I was driving and didn’t have another book ready.

Another great story strongman pretty strong woman.

Looks like the start of a really good series. Three brothers, and how life sorts them with their ladies. I got a little frustrated with this one on occasion when the girl kept thinking, the guy was gonna be like the other bad BFs, But it’s a good story and it’s a good example to remind us that we shouldn’t hold previous thoughts of someone against a new person.
I cannot wait to see what happens with the next brother.
