Targeted in the Swamp by Kerry Johnson

Targeted in the Swamp

Book Summary

Hunted by killers.

And time is running out fast…

Laurel Bell’s first day as a wildlife photography ranger takes a treacherous turn when she is nearly drowned by a masked assassin. Her witness protection cover has been blown, and she knows it’s only a matter of time before her attacker returns to finish the job. Her only chance at survival is police sergeant Heath Calhoun, who will do anything to deliver Laurel to her marshal handler. But when Heath’s young daughter is taken hostage, the stakes are raised, and now they must race to outsmart the powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to exact their revenge…

My Thoughts

Kerry Johnson's Targeted in the Swamp quickly captured my interest.  I  enjoyed the suspense, mystery, danger, and the non-stop action.  The plot is well done with engaging characters, unexpected twists, and a fast pace.  My favorite character was Heath’s darling  and precocious daughter, Piper.  I thought the interactions between Laurel and Heath were realistically portrayed.  Laurel's fear was palpable as her assailants continued to pursue her (it had my heartbeat ramping up). The author's vivid portrayal of Allegheny National Park made it easy for me to imagine its scenery.  Targeted in the Swamp is the third Forest Ranger Rescuers book, but it works as a standalone. Targeted in the Swamp combines suspense, romance, danger, mystery, strong characters, and faith—everything I appreciate in romantic suspense.   

Targeted in the Swamp can be obtained from Amazon* and Harlequin.  The first two books in the Forest Ranger Rescuers series are Hunted in the Forest and Abducted in the Woods.  Cold Case Arson Investigation is the fourth book in the Forest Ranger Rescuers series and it will be out on October 27. You should check out Kerry Johnson's other novels.   JustRead Publicity Tours has a Targeted in the Swamp giveaway on Instagram.  Click here to check it out!  Good Luck!

Thank you so much for joining me today.  Those that celebrate the holiday, I hope that you had a lovely Easter weekend.  I will return tomorrow, April 8 with The Manhattan Confessions by Jocelyn Green.  It is the third On Central Park novel.  I am off to drop off a few things around the village. This is when I am glad that I have a golf cart (my cat, Dickens, prefers her stroller to the golf cart). Don't forget to check out the Targeted in the Swamp giveaway on Instagram. May you have a sunny spring day.  Take care and Happy Reading!
