About this book:
“SAVED
BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
Paramedic Sherri Steele refuses to
believe someone's out to get her—until she's held at knifepoint in her own
ambulance. It'll take her high school crush to convince her she needs
protection—and deputy sheriff Cole Donovan is as persuasive as he is handsome.
But when his brother rises to the top of the suspects list, Cole's torn between
family duty and the woman he's never forgotten. With every emergency call to
the paramedics turning into an attack on Sherri's life, Cole's convinced Sherri
has a stalker. Cole needs to know whether his brother is the culprit before
things spiral out of control. Survival—and a future with Sherri—depends on
discovering who wants to cause trauma to this EMT.”

personal Rating- 
{ Add a ½
star for those interest in Law Enforcement or EMS Careers. }
Well, that was interesting! I had
a very slight idea who the trouble-marker was, but I was too involved in the
story to try to really figure out who it was. While it was a little too focused
on the romance element at times, it was still an interesting suspense book that
covered a lot of different topics and elements, so I enjoyed it.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this
author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
