Trained to Protect

De: Terri Reed

Narrado por: Katie Drinkard

Protecting a witness could be

a deadly mission for this K-9 team.

K-9 officer Tarren McGregor never imagined that a cartel would find its way to Texas’s South Padre Island—or target his best friend’s sister. But when Julia Hamilton witnesses and prevents the kidnapping of a teen girl, Tarren knows that trouble is soon to follow. Because Julia didn’t just protect the girl—she saw the abductor’s face. Now she’s marked for murder, and it’s up to Tarren and his K-9 partner to keep Julia safe from the human traffickers in pursuit…even if it means putting themselves in the line of fire.

From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.

Wonderful read!

I loved the whole story! I originally purchased this because I’m from the area the story takes place. This had me rewinding to relisten to parts because I’d get lost in thought about it. A beautiful story of love, protectiveness, and faith. I really hope Terri gets to come sometime for the sea turtle release (just had one this week!) it truly is amazing to see.

Julia and turtles!

Liked it all! Liked the location and the story around the island! The characters were ones you could get into.

Exceptional Story!

Loved this book! Exciting, romantic and clean. Fantastic narrator as well. Looking forward to the next book.

An author known for writing dogs made turtles the star of this story.

I’m a huge fan of this author because her stories involve K9 dogs. This story had Raz who was fabulous but she also spotlighted a turtle sanctuary which was new and fresh.

great story line

great characters and story. Hopefully this will be become a series!! maybe with a new narrator. She was a little bland and I found it hard to stay engaged.

I struggled with the performanceto the point that I didn't finish.

I had to keep backing up because it didn't keep my attention. The reading was flat to me.
