Guarding the Child Witness by Sharee Stover

Guarding the Child Witness

Book Summary

When Iowa state trooper Jaysa Camerota and her K-9, Remy, discover a scared boy trapped in a car wreck, they narrowly survive the gunfire that follows. With an unknown assailant closing in fast and the nonverbal child struggling to communicate, Jaysa is forced to accept help from her ex-fiancé, social worker Ender Hammett. Soon it becomes clear that young Trevor is harboring perilous secrets—and that someone will do anything to have him silenced. When Ender’s past becomes the key to exposing a killer, can they unravel this lethal plot…or is survival out of reach?

My Thoughts

Guarding the Child Witness by Sharee Stover is a fast-paced novel with nonstop action.  The characters were realistic.  I felt for Trevor whose world was just turned upside down.  Remy, Jayse’s K-9 partner, brought comfort to the little boy.  The mystery presented an engaging challenge, increasing in complexity with each successive chapter and featuring several unexpected developments.  The action kept things lively.  Ender and Jayse still have feelings for each other, but Jayse remains resentful over the way Ender ended their relationship.  The narrative is interlaced with a subtle element of faith. This leads Jayse to realize that Ender has grown, which could mean they have another chance to be together.  The epilogue effectively concludes the story.  Guarding the Child Witness is a stirring story with an auto accident, a fearful lad, an old flame, resolute killers, a house with a history, a harmed mother, and a second chance.

Guarding the Child Witness can be obtained from Amazon* and Harlequin. The next book in the Iowa State Troopers series is Cold Case Killer Connection which comes out November 24.  You can find Sharee Stover's other books here.  JustRead Publicity Tours is hosting a giveaway on Instagram (@justreadtours).

Thank you for joining me today.  On Wednesday, March 26, I will be sharing my thoughts on Pursued on the Run by Terri Reed which will be out on March 31. My mother and I are off to the imaging center for some scans.  I am hoping that we will make it on time to this appointment.  I helped her pick out an outfit and lay out other items that she will need.  I also told her we need to depart fifteen minutes before we really need to.  This should ensure that we leave on time (fingers crossed).  I hope that you have a beautiful day.  Take care and Happy Reading!
