Today I am reviewing Alaskan Police Protector by Megan Short.
Book Description:
To save a child, he has to risk his own life.
When a minivan slides off the road into an icy lake, Officer Samuel Miller narrowly rescues a woman and child from certain death. Only, Rachel Harding insists the crash is no accident — it’s eerily similar to how her sister and brother-in-law recently died. As the unexplained attacks escalate, Samuel is determined to protect Rachel and her orphaned niece at all costs. But when they make a shocking discovery, their investigation becomes even more dangerous, and survival may be impossible.
Mills & Boon Love Inspired Suspense — Courage. Danger. Faith.
Book Review:
Thanks to the publisher for my review copy.
This is Megan Short’s debut book and wow what a book. Right from the start you can feel the suspense. We meet Rachel and her niece in a precarious situation. Meanwhile Samuel a police officer and his trainee police dog Bruce hear what sounds like an accident. When he goes to look Rachels minivan is on the edge of an icy lake. This is just the beginning of a suspense filled book.
Rachel is now living in Alaska to raise Katie her niece. Katies parents died 6 months previous in a car accident which is eerily similar to the current accident. Rachel is convinced there is more to both accidents while the police think it’s just an accident. Samuel thinks it’s just an accident but is prepared to look into it. This is just the start of events. There is suspense right through this book. So many twists and turns and it kept me guessing.
Katie and Bruce are real scene steelers. Katie is 6 and Bruce is still in the puppy stage and a husky. They add to this book. I have always loved reading books set in Alaska and with the cold and remote it’s a character on its own. Also reading it in winter makes it more real. I eagerly wait for more books by this author and hope we revisit this area as there were side characters who need their own stories.
If you like suspense where you are kept on your seats, I am sure you will enjoy this story.
Thanks for the lovely review, Jenny! I’m glad you liked the book. You’ll be pleased to hear that the next book will be coming out late January 2026, set in the same community with the same characters (plus some new ones!), along with third, out in June 2026. Blessings, Megan
That will be so good I do love the area and loved the book.
I just preordered this and am looking forward to reading it. I am not a huge suspense fan, but will enjoy one occasionally. I have been following Megan on X and want to support her debut. I do love books set in Alaska and I’m happy to hear that Katie and Bruce are scene stealers!
It’s really good. I notice its already at Mills & Boons website cheaper than amazon.
