Christmas Protection Detail

2.5 Stars for this love inspired Christmas story! This book was honestly kind of cheesy to me. Nick's ex girlfriend calls in a panic - he hasn't heard from her in years. He and the town sheriff, Kaitlyn go to check it out. They find the ex has been kidnapped but they left the baby! Nick decides to take the baby in - all to make Kaitlyn fall for him. That's what it seemed to me, anyway. Then there's the whole danger at every corner, explosions. Nothing seemed believable? There is a HEA if you're after that. It was unfortunately just meh. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Kaitlyn and Nick's story. Kaitlyn knows Nick already as they live in the same town but she doesn't like him. Nick is very wealthy and Kaitlyn assumes a lot of things about him. In her work in law enforcement, she has run across him and his family during certain cases before and although they haven't done anything wrong, she doesn't like the arrogance of wealth & its privileges. Nick likes Kaitlyn though and he's tried to ask her out before - it's gone nowhere! Kaitlyn doesn't date - period. Something in her past in holding her back that no one knows. However, when an acquaintance of Nick's crashes her car as she's coming to see Nick and they discover a baby in the car, suddenly, Nick & Kaitlyn must find out why thugs are after that baby! Kaitlyn begins to see a whole new side of Nick as they dodge bullets and thugs finding them at every turn. Maybe she's misjudged him all this time? There's a lot of action in this story and I enjoyed all the secondary characters too! I especially enjoyed the way Nick threw himself into taking care of a baby when he had no clue as to what he was doing but gave it his best shot! A great book!
