Guardian: A Riveting Western Suspense

Exciting story, great characters. Widowed single mom, Alicia, returned to Wyoming to care for her father. While fishing along the river bank with her toddler son she witnesses a man drop a woman's body from a boat. Alicia's been noticed and flees amid gunfire to the police station. A description of the dead woman brings the FBI's K-9 unit from Billings on board. Neither Alicia nor agent Leo are happy to be working togetner in these circumstances. What creates the cautious animosity?

Excellent first book in a new series! The author begins it with a FBI agent being kidnapped and that looks like it will be the continued "arc" throughout the rest of the series. I can't imagine something worse for a FBI unit than one of their members being kidnapped by a ruthless mob. They KNOW what an FBI agent will be put through, most likely...worse than just a regular person. So, the FBI agent who feels responsible, Leo Gallagher, will stop at nothing to find the kidnapped agent. The search leads to Wyoming and a single mom who happens to see a man dropping a dead woman overboard into a river! I can't even imagine how horrifying that would be! Alicia is actually there on the river, fishing with her little boy! When the killer sees her, she grabs her son and runs for her life! From then on, she has to stay in the custody of Leo and the FBI as they try to keep her & family alive from these ruthless killers. The action was non-stop and the relationships were very realistic. I enjoyed getting to know some of the other agents that I'm sure we'll be seeing more in the other books. Alicia and her little boy, Charlie were great! I'm already anxiously waiting for the next book to come out! This is going to be a great series!
