SWORN TO PROTECT by JO DAIVS is a smart, sexy, and fast
paced read. SWORN TO PROTECT is a spin off from Ms.
Davis's Sugarland TN Firefighters of Station Five and now
focusing on the hot Detectives and officers of the
Sugarland TN Police department. Detective Shane Ford is a
confirmed bachelor who has a string of female companions
and very happy with the way his life is. That is until a
few months back when he had a brief affair with the
beautiful Juvenile officer Daisy Callahan. Shane knows
there is something special about Daisy, but like most
confirmed bachelors he breaks off the relationship rather
then explore where a relationship can go, because he is
scared. On his way out of the station one morning with his
partner Taylor Kayne, on his way to look at a body, Shane
comes face to face with the one female he cannot seem to
get off his mind, and like a typical male he messes up by
asking if they can be friends and maybe get coffee
sometime. This leaves Daisy staring at him like he grew
another head and his partner about to fall down laughing.
This is how his day starts and only goes down hill from
there. Later in the day after looking at a person that was
killed execution style, somewhere else; he gets a call
from his best friend NFL football star Brad Cooper that
leaves him thinking that something is not right with him.
Shane tries to shake that off and assures himself
everything will be fine when he sees Brad the next day.
After getting home and doing nothing more then changing
clothes and grabbing a beer. he is surprised when his
doorbell rings and its Daisy standing on his front porch.
After he lets her in and she tells him what she saw on the
news about the death of his best friend Brad Cooper, he
comes to rely on her more then he ever thought possible.
After leaving Brad's house with his son Drew and hearing
the news that Brad died of a possible drug overdose, Shane
is in a fog. Luckily Daisy is there for both him and Drew
and gets them back to Shane's house safe and Drew settled
into his room. As reality sets in that he will never see
his best friend again and now he has a 16yr old son to take
care of, he has no idea what to do. As Shane and Drew start
to try to move on after Brad's death and figure out how
they are going to get along and settle into a family
dynamic that is new to both of them, Daisy is always there
to help if they need her. Once Drew starts school and makes
one friend Ty, Shane is happy for him. But it is short
lived when Drew is caught tagging a house with Ty after
sneaking out of Tommy & Shea's house and after Shane finds
out who Ty's father is. This where all the suspense and
excitement start. It is not until Drew is abducted from
school that Shane, Daisy, Chris & Taylor along with a white
board and stick figures, start to put the pieces together
as to who is selling and distributing the drugs and who is
responsible for the mystery man's murder.
I really liked
SWORN TO PROTECT, it is face paced, sexy, erotic,
suspenseful and well written. I like how the dynamics
between Shane and Drew change from buddies to mentor and
young man. Also that Shane never once tries to take Brad's
place as Drew's father, and how Drew starts to come around
to trust not only Shane but Daisy as well. The story
between Shane and Daisy is rocky at first, then sexy and
finally sweet. I am glad that Ms. Davis decided to explore
the Sugarland PD detectives and write about them. They have
popped up here and there in her firefighter series and I
have wondered about them and the stories they have to tell.
So thank you Ms. Davis for giving us readers the Sugarland
Blue novels with the hunky, sexy detectives ready to
spill their
stories. I liked this book and so far this series as much
as I liked the Firefighters of Station Five. Which means if
you liked her Firefighters this series is a must read and
yes you see cameo's of the Firefighters from Station Five
in the Sugarland Blue series.
From the author of the Firefighters of Station Five novels... Sugarland loves their men in blue, especially Detective Shane Ford. But Shane’s mission to protect and to serve has just gotten personal.... 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.
