When her identity is blown after 4 years in the Witness Protection Program, will single mother Everly Lopez and her daughter Amelia have to undergo the trauma of starting a new life with new names, etc.? Or will the drug matriarch who murdered Everly's husband before her eyes permanently end that "inconvenience"? Can former U.S. Marshall and Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit officer Jackson Dean, assisted by his Dobie partner Rex, protect them from seemingly innumerable assassins, or will he fail like he did for another witness he was supposed to protect? Is Jackson able to focus on his role of law enforcement, or will his feelings for Everly which kindled 4 years earlier become ... oh, you know the answer to that question?
This is the 11th novel of Jodie Bailey that I've read, several of which deal with the Witness Protection Program. As usual, she has an exciting plot that will keep you on the edge of your seats with protagonists you care about and adversaries that give you the willies, mixed with a definite but not preachy faith element.
"Olympic Mountain Pursuit" is the fourth of the nine part, multi-author Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit series. Like most of these series, there are continuing Love Inspired Suspense sagas that started in the first book - in this case, concerning a member of the team in hiding, suspected in a double-murder, the search for three stolen bloodhound puppies, and which of four candidates can fill the two vacant spots of the team - so on one hand, it makes sense to start with book one and read them in order. On the other hand, as usual, the books are written that should you read them out of order, you are able to follow the long stories I mentioned and enjoy the main story of each book.
I highly recommend this book, this series, and any book by Jodie
Bailey.
