Under the Marshal's Protection

by Kathleen Tailer

Entrap her own brother for a U.S. Marshal? Jessica Blake can't bear the thought, but what choice does she have? It isn't just the marshals who are after Michael. If his co-conspirators in the counterfeiting ring find him first, he won't live long enough to clear his name. And both the U.S. Marshals and the counterfeiters think the best way to get to Michael…is through Jessica. With danger on every side—for herself and for the only family she has left—Jessica has to make a choice. Can she trust U.S. Marshal Dominic Sullivan with her safety, her brother's life…and her heart?

[J.E. Grace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Michael Blake is involved in a medical counterfeiting scheme and they are out to kill him and his sister, Jessica. U.S. Marshall Dominick Sullivan is in charge of keeping Jessica safe while also trying to take her brother into custody.

I enjoyed Jessica's courage and her determination to do what it takes to find her brother and keep him from harm. Marshall Sullivan feels sorry for Jessica and his heart gets in the way of keeping everything professional.

The story has lots of action with Jessica and Michael running for their lives. There is a mole in their agency and little time to flush him out. I loved the faith aspect woven throughout the story and the strength it gave Michael and Jessica to go on.

Well written and lots of twists that kept the action coming. Great ending!

I found Jessie's personality to be unique, but her willingness to trust Dominic felt like it came too quickly. I also found the counterfeit medicine plotline to be a bit preachy.

Loved this book

Dominic and Jessica's relationship with the Lord is the basis of this book. I I be that they pray about things as their life story develops.

Unusual plot and unusual growing romance between main characters. Very good mystery.

When the heroine meets the hero at the door with a shotgun, you know it's going to be an interesting book. But I doubt that Dominic Sullivan had any idea what he was about to face with this spit fire of a woman! She is very protective of her bother who's in hot water with the feds, and she'll do almost anything to protect him! The romantic tension added to the interesting color of this book. Jessica's stubbornness got her into a lot of trouble, and Dominic called her bluff - a scene that made my day! I thought that Jessica was a bit childish and was happy to see her taught a lesson in that department! It was a very entertaining read.

Excellent writing, tight plot, strong Christian morals throughout. A nice read. I would have given it a five, but it's slightly formula with some of it's characters and the plot was predictable. Still, an excellent read for an afternoon, with the assurance of wholesome quality. I enjoyed.

I like suspence.

I found Jessie's personality to be unique, but her willingness to trust Dominic felt like it came too quickly. I also found the counterfeit medicine plotline to be a bit too preachy for my taste.

Relationship happens fast, the interaction was short-circuited by overspeed step.
