    About this audiobook

    Detective Shane Ford, Sugarland's favorite cop, has been blindsided by the sudden death of his best friend, NFL star Brad Cooper, and by becoming the legal guardian of Brad's son, Drew-a bitter, angry sixteen-year-old with a dangerous secret. Shane is determined to pry the truth from Drew, but he manages only to alienate him-and winds up going head-to-head with Juvenile Officer Daisy Callahan, whose job is to protect the teen's best interests.

    Shane has always been drawn to Daisy's beauty and strength, but he's determined not to allow their intense attraction to interfere with his duty ever again. It's a vow that will prove difficult to keep, as the realities of Shane and Daisy's blossoming love and their growing bond with the grieving teen propel Shane headlong into danger for the new family he has sworn to protect.

      Detective Shane Ford's best friend, NFL star Brad Cooper, has just died and Shane finds himself caring for his sixteen year old son, Drew. At the same time, he is trying to make up for his behavior earlier in the year when he pushed Juvenile Officer Daisy Callahan out of his life. Daisy is understandably fearful of giving Shane another chance to hurt her. In the meantime, Drew starts at his new school and makes friends with a boy who leads him into trouble: skipping school, vandalism, smoking, and spying on the local drug dealer who happens to be his new friend's father. When Drew witnesses a murder, Shane must step in before his godson gets himself killed.
      Sworn to Protect doesn't deliver much in the way of romantic suspense. The middle of the book is very slow, missing the opportunity to develop the suspense and the romance. Even though Daisy seems reluctant to reconnect with Shane, she ignores her fears completely to jump back into a relationship with him. Drew's situation doesn't amp up the suspense until almost the end of the book. The little conflict that there is in the story is very quickly solved. Overall, a disappointing miss.
    • 4/5
      A great start to this spin-off series.

      I enjoyed Shane in the Firefighter series. I love men
      in uniform, and Shane was not exception. He'd loyal and
      smart - he knows when he messes up; except for typical
      man things.

      I love Daisy; her name may say flower but she's strong and
      knows what and who she wants. She doesn't except anything
      but what she feels she deserves. She was a friend when needed,
      but also a lover too.

      The story moved and flowed well. We also get to see the young
      buy caught in the middle. I felt the story progressed well
      and the angst was well written and believable

      4.5 stars. Looking forward to the next in series.
