From USA Today Bestselling Author Laura Scott

Risking their hearts and their lives while protecting the innocent . . .

Someone wants her ranch and will do anything to get it...

Sylvie McLane knows and loves the McLane Mountain Ranch located outside Dillon, Montana. But when gunfire causes her to be thrown off her horse and left dangling off the edge of a cliff, she can’t ignore the fact that someone wants her dead. Former Navy SEAL Dawson Steele comes to her rescue, but can she trust him? Can she trust anyone? The attacks come from all sides, forcing her to accept Dawson’s offer to take on the role of her bodyguard.

Dawson Steele is still recovering from several surgeries to remove shrapnel from his abdomen thanks to his last op that had gone sideways, but that isn’t going to stop him from protecting Sylvie. However, his time in Montana is limited—he has never wanted to be stuck in one place. The warm ocean breeze of San Diego calls to him, but he won’t leave Sylvie to face this threat alone. There are too many possible suspects, and he believes the culprit is staying close to the ranch. As they race to uncover the truth, Dawson is prepared for the worst. What he doesn’t expect is for Sylvie to steal his heart.

It's hard to write enough superlatives about this series! I just love it! Each book is marvelous! The characters are great, the settings are fantastic, and the storylines are involving! These retired Navy SEALS are such good men! Even with their injuries, they are ready for action in helping out those who find themselves in jeopardy! This time it's Dawson's turn! He's gone to Montana to check up on his father after being in the military for 20 years. His father is on the family ranch and on the neighboring ranch lives Sylvie. When Dawson is out riding his horse, he hears a gunshot and races to find the location only to find Sylvie hanging on the edge of a cliff! She was thrown from her horse upon hearing the gunshot! After that, a number of things happen that let them know someone is after Sylvie, so Dawson sticks close to her in order to discover who is doing these things. There is a lot of action and I loved the K-9, once again! These dogs add so much to these stories! Dawson and Sylvie were a great couple!

Super continuation of a Christian action series

Sylvie is riding when a shot fired spooks her horse and sets her clinging to the edge of a cliff. Dawson is riding nearby and helps pull her up. This is the start of a totally action packed Western Christian suspense story. There are many possible suspects and twists and turns that keep you guessing throughout the whole story.

The pace is breakneck and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with a character and action oriented storyline that has some kisses but no steam. The characters are vibrant and kickass. Sylvie is a woman trying to make it in a man's world and succeeding very well. According to Dawson the Navy is better at accepting strong women that ranchers/cowboys in the West. Who do they think settled the West, men only? I am sure the women worked just as hard! I loved that the Christian ideals were woven into the story and didn't seem just added in. This is a story that can be read in its own, or you can read these all in order. Either way, expect action and Christian ideals intertwined. If that sounds good to you, sit back and enjoy!

Sealed with Strength: A Christian K9 Suspense (Called To Protect Book 4)

Laura Scott has done it once again. Dawson and Sylvie were ranching neighbors. Sylvie was riding on her property to a hillside looking over her ranch. A shot was fired and Sylvie was thrown from her horse, sliding towards the edge if a cliff. Dawson was riding along and saw her hanging onto a tree root. He pulled her up and over , saving her. Now the story really gets Mysteriously wild. Enjoy Sealed with Strength. Thank you

Rancher, SEAL, K9, suspense

This is a Christian romantic suspense book set in a ranching community. It has a lot of suspense and enjoyable characters, although I found Silvie annoying some of the time. I get that she's fiercely independent, but she should have been more sensible sometimes. It is an entertaining story with a happy ending! I will definitely read more in this series.

Another great mystery/romance.

Christy Barritt always comes through with so much unique and suspenseful mystery, with nail biting "oh just kiss her" drawn out romance every time. I don't know how she comes up with new and exciting stories, but she does every single time!

Well done story

I liked the characters in this story and how the plot developed and kept you guessing on who was behind everything. I would have liked to see his buddy get there sooner to see them work together, but I did enjoy the story.

Loved that Dawson ensured that his beloved K9 wore ear protection in the helicopter.

Sweet Thriller

The strength of the Seals and ranchers is combined in a romantic thriller. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. I didn't figure out who was responsible.

I enjoyed this as well.

Initially, I had to warm up to the story, but once I got past the exposition, I warmed up to the story.

Solita veloce lettura ricca di suspense. Devo dire che non avevo proprio capito chi fosse il capo dei cattivi, pensavo ad altre persone.

I love this series by Laura Scott. Her cast of characters are not one dimensional & very realistic. It is so refreshing to read a mystery/thriller that does not contain filthy or irreverent language, whose characters have flaws they work constantly to overcome. I also love that even though it has a Christian bent, this story is truly edge of your seat exciting with just the right amount of very realistic passion. No unrealistic goody two shoes or one dimensional characters here. I will always seek out this author's books for exciting, clean & meaningful reads.
