Awesome read! I have read several of Carol's books and they definitely are the type of book you don't want to put down. The story itself is exciting and the characters seem so real. There is an intertwining of how the Christians in the story witness to those that are not saved which shares to the reader how natural it can be to be a testimony to others in their daily lives. Carol's books are thrilling to the point you have to keep reading to see what's going to happen next. I've enjoyed this book and will continue to read her stories.

I really loved Witness Protection! I loved the fast paced excitement and never ceasing action! I especially loved the dynamic between the two main characters, (Ty and Brooke). Carol Kinsey really does a great job of pulling you into the story from the first page. Her characters are real and believable. I felt like I was experiencing the emotions reflected in the characters. I would recommend this book to any enthusiastic, adventure seeking reader.

Fans of White Collar will enjoy this latest release from Carol Kinsey. Witness Protection is a super fun suspense novel that will keep readers on their toes and the pages turning until the very end. Ty reminds me so much of Neal Caffrey. Both are well liked by everyone around them, both have that confidence of entering into places where they shouldn’t, both are rich and have expensive taste, both love good coffee, both love designer suits, and both have a good friend in the FBI. The main difference between Neal and our Ty is that Ty is a believer in Jesus Christ. Oh, man, did I love Ty. He is not only a believer, but he will do whatever it takes to encourage others to accept Christ into their lives. He also believes in telling the truth and living life honorably. He is one swoon-worthy male character that is easy to fall in love with.
Brooke was also a fun character. She’s a nurse who hates her job but ends up having the adventure of a lifetime when she meets Ty. While I can’t relate to her circumstances, Brooke has been through a lot in her past. Readers will find her relatable as well as their situations, even if none of us have actually been in some of those situations.
Readers will discover a clear Gospel message, trust and forgiveness, and a few other important messages throughout the pages which I absolutely loved. Carol Kinsey isn’t overly preachy but shares the truth where it’s needed.
Overall, I highly recommend this! In fact, I strongly encourage you to pick up a copy and read this. It’s the kind of read you’ll find yourself devouring in one sitting.

Can a relationship with God help a corrupt man change on a heart level and go on to do great things?
One of Carol Kinsey’s ongoing themes fascinates me. In her book Witness Protection, she explores the universal theme through her well- developed characterization of Ty Westgate. A man who has been in a federal witness protection program where one decision he makes puts him in danger.
When his desperate prayer for help leads him to nurse Brooke Dunbar’s door the couple find themselves running for their lives.
On all outward appearances he seems to reap punishment for his past transgressions.
Yet as the story progresses through a fast-paced story line, engaging settings, dialogue and thought- provoking internal motivation ultimately makes one wonder, who truly is the bad guy?
The story clicks along in a fast paced ride. You’ll find yourself rooting for Ty and Brook as they seek the answer to the mystery shooter and why is he pursuing them?
If you enjoy a great novel I highly recommend this book. I took a needed day away from my work to read Witness Protection and drink hot cocoa.
Best decision ever.

This book was a really enjoyable read, and I liked it a lot! The plot is very well thought out, and all the loose ends and mysteries get tied up nicely at the end. I also really liked the characters. However, there were a lot of very small problems that keep me from giving this book full marks. The thing I found most annoying was the dialogue tags. Often stuff like "she confessed" or "she explained" were used where they were totally not necessary, basically over explaining dialogue that was fine by itself. I also think that the Christian characters were a bit too perfect. Brooke didn't really seem to have any flaws at all, and it would have been nice if she had a few more faults and shortcomings to make her a bit more real. But, other than that, I really enjoyed this book, and I'll definitely be looking forward to the sequel.

Let me just start off by saying that this book was AMAZING! I couldn’t put the book down until it was finished!
An intriguing story is spun through Witness Protection that will leave every book reader eagerly turning the next page.
This book tells the story of a man who is on the run, fighting for his life, running forward and away from the person he used to be. But challenges arise when his past catches up with him forcing him to enter witness protection. Things are going smoothly but once he has become a child of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, how could Ty Westgate possibly keep silent and not share with the people he loves most? But this brings him further into danger.
Along his path comes Brooke Dunbar who saved his life but gets tangled in the web of danger the he himself is trapped in. Together they must run the race and fight the good fight, in attempt to solve the mystery before their enemy does. But will they? And will Brooke come to know and love the God that Ty loves and serves?
Carol Kinsey writes Witness Protection in such a way that sparks the creativity of the reader’s mind and makes them wonder what their life would be like if they were a Christian on the run from the people who said they were the law.
The characters were developed very nicely. Introduced at the right opportunity, each character was intriguing with their own personal history that brought them to life and made them relatable to the reader.
The Bible message that was taught during Witness Protection was refreshing and edifying. I wish that more writers would pour the love of Christ into their work like Carol does. I will definitely be reading anything of hers that I can get my hands on. I loved this book!

This is one of my favorite Christian novels to read. Carol Kinsey did a wonderful job sharing the gospel while not being too preachy. At the same time she shows human pain and suffering that happens in the real world while keeping the hopes high and action packed. I have already read this book twice and will be re-reading it again!

Quite suspenseful, and definitely kept me wanting to read more! The more sensitive topics were dealt with very well, I thought. Really enjoyed it.

Carol's best yet! Very suspenseful. Full of mystery, action, and yes, a little bit of romance. Witness Protection is probably my favorite of hers so far!

Witness Protection is one of the best books I have ever read. It holds strong Christian values and showcases a healthy guy-girl relationship. It helps Christians have good, wholesome material to read that isn't boring. The suspense makes you not want to put the book down (I know I was supposed to do the dishes Mom, but I was reading...) each chapter puts you on edge for the next. Carol Kinsey does a marvelous job keeping this book fun, suspenseful, and clean. I would recommend this to anyone, any age. This is my favorite book from her yet. Thanks, Miss Carol!
