Review: In His Protection by Sandra Owens

Author: Sandra Owens
Publisher: Carina Press
Publication Date: August 2022

Chief of police Tristan Church likes Marsville just the way it is. He has his job and his police dog, Fuzz, for company. He could have Sheriff Skylar Morgan, too, but she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length, even if the one night they shared was unforgettable.

When a kooky Marsville matriarch decides to reopen the town’s old UFO museum, everyone laughs—except Tristan. Inviting cranks and conspiracy theorists to Marsville is bound to be trouble. But he’s on the museum planning committee with Skylar, and he won’t say no to spending time with her…even if he thinks this is a bad idea.

But when their sleepy little town is suddenly full of dangers, Tristan and Fuzz are the only ones who can protect Skylar. And as the threat against her grows, so does the intimacy between Skylar and Tristan. With their lives on the line, can they trust their hearts not to break?

In His Protection is the first book in the  K-9 Defenders series.  The series follows three brothers who were reluctantly raised by their aunt.  After her passing, they decided to all live in her house together and raise their nieceThis one is Tristan and Skylar's story.  He is the oldest brother and Chief of Police.

I loved the dynamic between Tristan and Skylar.  They were great together and the sexual tension was off the charts. That year of not giving in to their passion really ramped it up. As for the suspense part of the book, I thought the person who was after her was fairly obvious.  Despite that, I still ended up liking the book.  I loved Tristan's brothers and his niece.  The town was full of seriously adorable characters.  It's one I want to visit again. I look forward to book two and Kade's story.
