Publisher's summary

When Dr. Tara Sims is robbed, she fights back to protect her daughter and nearly pays with her life. She’s rescued by Texas Ranger Grady West. Her childhood friend is now a handsome lawman, but Tara refuses to acknowledge the chemistry sparking between them. With a little girl to raise and a growing medical practice, she has no room in her life for romance.

Grady suspects the vicious assault wasn’t a random act. What he can’t figure out is why anyone would attack the single mother. He vows to protect Tara and her little girl while keeping his growing feelings for them out of the equation. Getting romantically involved with his sister’s best friend is more hazardous than hunting criminals.

As the threats escalate and evidence links the robbery to a homicide, Tara and Grady realize nothing is quite as it seems. Untangling a web of secrets makes them the target of a madman, and it’s only a matter of time before the killer strikes again.

This novella kicks off the inspirational romantic suspense series Texas Ranger Heroes. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone and guarantees a fast-paced mystery combined with a sweet romance.

A good introduction to this series

This is a new author for me , and I was anxious to give her a try. Glad I did.
The story belongs to Dr Tara Sims and Texas Ranger Grady West. They were childhood friends, but went their separate ways. She became a physician and is now a mom after adopting a baby and he a Ranger who after 10 years of undercover work and an injury is back home.
When she’s attacked and is obviously in danger, the friendship and attraction grows.
This is a story filled with twists and turns, whodunit as well as hope and romance.
A good introduction to this series , one that is brought to life by the talented narrator.

Entertaining suspense, clean romance, performance

This is a very good mystery with an easy pace and wonderful characters. The clean romance is woven throughout the story. There are some great action scenes. I love the gentle Christian message sprinkled in. This is a very enjoyable book with a happy ending. The performance is very good.

books

Lynn is awesome....great book has it all...suspense...romance...God working.....dont miss this book or any other of ms.shannons writing !!!!😃😃😃😃😃

Yet another formulaic romance

Don't bother unless you want background noise that you don't have to think about. This book is supposed to be a " Christian" romance but it is really a clean romance where people pray when they are in trouble. I like the total lack of swearing, obscenity, sex scenes and graphic descriptions. I don't like the lack of depth or originality. It's as though the author was told "Throw together a romance using the old Harlequin formula. Just take out the sex scenes, add a little action and put in a couple of prayers and we'll call it a Christian Romamce."

To serve and protect

Ranger Protection

This is a clean Texas romance with a cold case murder to solve. A quick listen.
Dr. Tara Sims and her adopted baby girl are in danger from a masked man in the grocery store parking lot. Texas ranger Grady West, recently returned to town saved them. The two had been friends since childhood and deeper feelings start to develop. The criminal returns and the suspense deepens. There are plenty of suspects and lots of clues. Will Grady be able to protect Tara and Maddie or will evil win?



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Cindy Piller.



I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A baby, a doc & a ranger...

A mugging gone wrong, then an attempted kidnapping and Dr. Tara Simms has no choice but to rely on the protection of childhood friend, Texas Ranger Grady West. Can Grady keep her safe? Tara wrestles with this, even after more attempts on her life...and as she sees Grady as more than a friend. Worth the read/listen.

wonderful action romance suspense

A wonderful action suspense romance.  This quick engaging storyline had me glued as the narrator does an amazing job of keeping me on the edge of my seat. The storyline includes intrigue, drama, action, danger, and romance in a A fast paced swoony story with well developed interesting characters. 

Recommended

An excellent romantic murder mystery/suspense. Tara adopted her daughter after the birth mother was murdered. Now someone is after them. Grady makes a terrific hero even wounded. They make a solid couple. Through the investigation we are kept waiting, will the murderer be caught in time and who of the several suspects is it? I'm not a patient person when I know I can find out the answer easily. This story I'd just long enough to build the story but not so long I just had to look. Waiting for the climax paid off.

This is my first story by Lynn Shannon but it won't be the last. I do hope more in this series will be found in Audible soon.

Cindy Piller did a great job bringing the story to life.

I recieved a free Audible copy of this story, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.

Great Read!

I have been wanting to try this author's books for quite a while, so of course I jumped at the chance to request a review copy of this book.
Ranger Protection is a great romantic suspense read that I really enjoyed! I really liked main characters Tara and Grady, and was rooting for them from the start!
Even though this book is short and makes for a great quick read, it has a lot of action and suspense that was very well balanced with the lovely romance that was developing between Tara and Grady.
Ranger Protection is a very good read that I highly recommend, and I look forward to reading more of Lynn Shannon's books in the future!


I received an audiobook copy of this book from the publisher. Which did not influence my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own!
