Shield of Protection is the explosive beginning of the new True Blue K-9 series. This novella introduces readers to NYPD K-9 Unit officer Declan Maxwell and his dog, Storm. Declan will go to great lengths to save April from the men who are after her and her uncle. This book truly left me looking forward to the rest of the series.
I was given a copy of this novella in exchange for my honest review.
Protecting and serving in New York City
This fast-paced prequel introduces a team of K-9 officers and their trusty companions who will take on the evils lurking in New York City through a series of books by various authors over the next several months.
It is amazing how much can be packed into a short book. Declan and April’s story immerses us into the world of the NYPD True Blue K-9 team. Declan is still training his faithful dog, Storm and trying to overcome the stigma of his father’s actions. As April’s brother’s best friend, he had been warned away from April.
I loved Storm’s favorite reward and the fact that she made Declan carry it with him. I won’t spoil your fun in learning what this treat is that his fellow trainees loved to tease him over.
I am always thrilled when reading fiction enlightens me regarding the real world. Shield of Protection showed me some interesting things about police dogs and the types of service they are used for and even explained a little about why they are good at what they do.
The romance had a backstory that was explained a little, and really, it was enough to make sense. Nevertheless, it seemed a bit rushed – though as is a novella, this is to be expected.
Shield of Protection is a fun, action-filled suspense story that would be a great choice when you only have a couple hours to spare.
In the midst of the yearning, are fun zoo puns, a budding romance, and especially a growing awareness that God just might be more than a disinterested Creator and that He just might have a plan for Paisley’s life that is beyond what she imagines.
The ending of Room for Cream was satisfying and yet a cliff-hanger. It certainly left me hungry for more. The next book is slated for release sometime this spring. So I now have the opportunity to go back and start from the first book of the Maya Davis series!

Quick read fast-paced story that keeps you turning pages from start to finish. April determined to protect her uncle who raised her. Declan determined to protect April rather she wants him to or not.
Together can they destroy the evil and have their happy ever after?
A good addition to the True Blue K-9 Unit.
This was a really good story and a really good start to the series. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I love reading about these wonderful animals. Storm had a great personality, and a love of pink bone chew toys. The human characters were great, also.
I received a Kindle copy of this book from the author and was not required to write a positive review.
