This book is full of action, suspense, drama and sweet romance. It's well written and keeps you turning the pages. It's a great read and I highly recommend it.
I received a complimentary copy from Harlequin via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Ian was in witness protection when he gets ambushed by people looking for revenge. US Marshall Meadow was his handler when he reaches out for help once again. This time his cousins been kidnapped and they do everything they can to get her back but also remain safe.

This was a pretty good book. There was so much going on getting to know a bit about the two and why Ian was in witness protection. Meadow has his handler and helping him keep safe but now it's a entirely new and old situation with his cousin going missing a dog being pregnant leaving them with higher stakes and where the connection was to the past. I loved following along as they worked together to find them and I liked the bit of romance that was thrown in. Overall pretty good time now book I really enjoyed it.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are mine.

The book follows Ian who helped take down a crime boss but has seek help from US Marshall's after he is ambushed and his cousin is abducted. Quite fast paced and action filled and well written.

Ian Carpenter thought he was finally safe to leave witness protection. He soon discovered he made a bad mistake. He turns to Meadow Ames for help. She was the US Marshall who was his contact while he was in witness protection. His cousin is kidnapped by those who want revenge on Ian.

If you like a fast paced story with lots of action, this book is for you. Ian and Meadow dance around with their feelings for each other as the story progresses also.

I received this book from Love Inspired Suspense via Net/Galley for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

The Mountain Country K-9 Unit series are all stand alone books, each writen by a different author, each featuring a K-9 team in the story. All are good, clean stories full of suspense and thrills enough to keep readers hooked on the story and the series. Jodie Bailey has given us a former witness protection resident who broke protection when the mobster he helped convict, died in prison. But Ian Carpenter is still not safe from revenge. Now the individuals chasing him have taken a family member hostage. Ian and his US Marshall contact, Meadow Ames and her K-9, Grace, will face down the danger to bring Ian's family back together.

Ian Carpenter's witness protection days are over. He thinks he no longer needs it. When people intent on killing him start chasing him down, he realizes his days of running are far from over. They also know his true name. He sends a hurried text to the only person who he believes can help him - US Marshal Meadow Ames.

Ian and Meadow are on the run for their lives. Even while they are on the run, Ian is still worried about his cousin (the only member of his family who still talks to him). When his cousin is abducted, the stakes are raised and the clock starts ticking. He will stop at nothing to save her.

Ian has had a tough life with family who have ostracized him and treated him badly because he went into law enforcement. Meadow and her K-9, Grace, are the dynamic duo. Meadow is brave and fearless. She is also so good to Ian. It is touching as Meadow helps Ian as he struggles with fears and lost family. There is plenty of action and tense moments, with a touch of romance and an inspirational message.

Thank you to Harlequin Books and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book follows Ian Carpenter, a former undercover deputy who enters witness protection after helping to arrest a crime boss. Despite the criminal and his allies supposedly being dead, Ian leaves witness protection to help his cousin. He soon realizes that the criminal's allies are alive and targeting him. Contacting his handler, Meadow Ames, for help puts her and her K-9 partner, Grace, in danger. The story intensifies when Ian's young cousin is kidnapped, forcing him to confront his PTSD while rescuing her amidst flying bullets.

The book is part of the Mountain Country K-9 series but stands alone. It features a mix of suspense, bravery, and romance, with well-developed characters facing danger and personal challenges. Ian's struggle with his past and path to redemption, along with Meadow's strength and determination, add depth to the narrative. The faith elements are seamlessly integrated, providing a hopeful and uplifting message. The story is fast-paced with twists that keep readers engaged until the end, making it a satisfying read for fans of Love Inspired Suspense.

Montana Abduction Rescue was a cute story. It took a little while for all of the people in the story to get situated so that I could follow it. It was suspenseful and the story does not get wrapped up, so definitely curious to see how it ends with the next books.

While I have read other Inspirational Romance books by Jodie Bailey, this was the first story that I’ve read in her K-9 Unit series. Although this is book five, it was easy to read without having to go back to reference other stories. And then when I check again, I wash astonished by how quickly each book releases, but come to find out the series is from an assortment of great authors.

The dogs really stole the show or story rather in Montana Abduction Rescue. They had such great personalities. This might be the first book I’ve read where the male struggled with PTSD but the heroine, Meadow, makes up for Ian’s fears. I felt so sorry for him and his backstory. His family was horrible to him, and I almost couldn’t understand their extreme anger when he and Meadow came to ask questions that would help find his cousin. But I suppose people can just be horrible so expect to become emotionally invested.
You’re in for a good amount of action and suspense throughout, so give this amazing story a chance!

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but my opinion is entirely my own.

Solid suspense novel, 3.5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It moved along fast, lots of suspense and light romance. There's also an undercurrent of Christian theme, but not so much that it is offputting.

Ian has PTSD from being shot in the incident that wound up separating he and Meadow. But when his and his cousin's lives are in danger, he turns to Meadow to help him. Meadow and her human and K-9 partners jump into the help, putting their lives in danger as well. There's a romantic pull between Meadow and Ian that they keep pushing away, but will they eventually give into the impulse?

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, by my opinions are my own.

Montana Abduction Rescue by Jodie Bailey
Kidnappers out for vengeance…
Can a K-9 team stop them?
Following the death of a crime boss he put behind bars, Ian Carpenter leaves witness protection—and runs right into an ambush. To escape assailants bent on revenge, he turns to his former handler, US marshal Meadow Ames, and her K-9 partner. But the stakes grow higher when Ian’s cousin is abducted. With threats closing in, can they rescue a kidnapped teen…and stop the criminals for good?
This is US marshal Meadow Ames and Ian Carpenter's story.
“This was a colossal waste of time.” Deputy US Marshal Meadow Ames sat back in her chair and reached over her head, trying to stretch the tension from her shoulders. She’d been holed up in a conference room at the Glacierville, Montana, police department all day, hunched over computer files and physical files, studying the murder of Henry Mulder until her neck ached and her eyes burned.
Across the table, Elk Valley, Wyoming, police officer Rocco Manelli dragged his hands down his face. He looked as exhausted as Meadow felt. Like Meadow, Rocky was a member of the Mountain Country K-9 Unit, composed of law enforcement officials from across several Rocky Mountain states. “I’ve chased suspects for miles on foot and not been this exhausted.” At his feet, his K-9 partner, a chocolate Lab who specialized in accelerant detection, yawned. Rocco grinned. “Even Cocoa has had enough.”
He should have known this was a trap.
Ian Carpenter sped down a winding back road near Glacier National Park, pushing his old reliable pickup to the limits of its capabilities as he raced to save himself from his pursuers.
What was happening? The threat to his life had ended three months earlier when Ronnie Thornton died in prison, the last member of a crime family whose threats had driven Ian to take refuge in witness protection. It should have been safe for him to return to his hometown.
It wasn’t.
When he’d been undercover with a multiagency human-trafficking task force led by the US Marshals, Meadow had been his handler. If he ever needed her to back him up, it was now.
I recommend this book.
Montana Abduction Rescue by Jodie Bailey is a 4 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Jodie Bailey .
I received a complimentary copy of the book and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions are my own.

Action-packed suspense that I didn't want to put down. But I have kids ha! This story was believable compared to some Love Inspired books I have read that were too far-fetched for me. I like these because they don't have room for a lot descriptions, which bore me, but there was some repeated info in this book that seemed like wasted space. All-in-all, great characters and storyline!

Ian is released from Witness Protection when the crime boss that he put away is reported dead, but the danger is far from over.

When his cousin is taken, he knows that is must have something to do with the previous case, so he contacts his former handler, Meadow Ames, and together they must fight to bring Ian's cousin home.

An action packed read, with a complex plot, strong characters and a lot going on. I liked the great plot, and strong themes of faith woven throughout. Definitely a fun read, with some will they or won't they tension.

Overall, a great quick read with plenty going on, and heart pounding suspense.


I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

If you’re a fan of suspenseful, faith-filled stories with rich characters, you’ll absolutely love Montana Abduction Rescue—a story where every page brings new excitement and depth. Jodie Bailey knows how to craft a tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat while tugging at your heartstrings.

In the latest Mountain Country K-9 adventure, Bailey delivers a gripping mix of suspense and bravery, with just the right touch of romance to keep you thoroughly engaged. The story features a dynamic trio of characters who face danger and challenge with both bravery and heart. Ian Carpenter, Meadow Ames, and her incredible K-9 partner, Grace, navigate intense situations that showcase their courage, strength, and determination.

I loved how Bailey seamlessly wove faith into the story. It felt natural and added a layer of hope and genuine faith to the characters' journey. Ian’s struggle with his past and feelings of unworthiness made his character relatable, and his path to redemption was deeply satisfying. Meadow is strong, determined, and someone you can root for from start to finish.

The action and suspense in this book are top-notch. There were moments I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, eager to see what would happen next. The balance between suspense and romance is just right—enough to keep you invested in their relationship without overshadowing the intense plot. And let’s not forget the twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end!

Despite being part of the Mountain Country K-9 series, this book stands perfectly well on its own. You don’t need to have read the others to enjoy every bit of this one. The faith elements are beautifully woven into the story, reminding us of the power of love and redemption.

Montana Abduction Rescue is a fascinating, heartwarming adventure that leaves you feeling uplifted and satisfied. Jodie Bailey has crafted a story that’s both thrilling and touching, and I can’t wait to dive into more of her work.

As a fan of Love Inspired Suspense, I found Montana Abduction Rescue to be a perfect blend of thrilling suspense and heartwarming faith. I found myself eagerly turning the pages, unable to put the book down until I finished it.

I received a digital ARC of Montana Abduction Rescue from the publisher, Harlequin - Love Inspired Suspense, and NetGalley. I am not required to write a positive review in any way or for any reason. My honest and unbiased opinions expressed in this book review are my own. My review focuses on the writing style, the pacing, and the story’s content, ensuring transparency and reliability.

Fast paced action packed page turner. I have not read all the books in the Mountain Country K-9 series, and was not lost. This can be read as a stand alone with no problems. Ian (former Sheriff) Meadow (FBI, and former handler of Ian for an undercover mission) work well together, their strengths and weakness complement each other. Grace (K9) warms everyone's heart :) Faith is woven inherently with a light touch. Love Inspired Suspense series is light on the romance is light and quick on the HEA at the end. The mystery and suspense were top notch and provided an enjoyable read. Thank you for the opportunity to read early and share my thoughts and opinions. #MontanaAbductionRescue #MountainCountryK9 #JodieBailey #Harlequin #LoveInspiredSuspense #NetGalley

Montana Abduction Rescue by Jodie Bailey starts off with a bang. The story has action, suspense, mystery, faith, and a splash of romance. I love that it is a fast-paced story (makes me want to keep reading). I enjoyed getting to know Ian and Meadow as well as Meadow’s K-9 companion, Grace. Grace is a clever dog (it is amazing what K-9 dogs are capable of). I had not heard of the Hungarian breed Vizsla before reading this book (which had me looking it up online). There is one scene with Grace that had me laughing (I do not want to spoil it for you). The romance was well done. I like how it was blended with the suspense, but it did not overshadow it. Faith was nicely incorporated into the story. I did feel, though, that the ending was a tad rushed. While Montana Abduction Rescue is the fifth book in the Mountain Country K-9 Unit series, it can be read as a standalone. Montana Abduction Rescue is a suspenseful story with an alarming ambush, a clever canine, a kidnapped cousin, sinister criminals, and terrifying threats.

Here's a romantic suspense that is a good read for the summer. Ian Carpenter has left witness protection with the belief that the criminals he helped catch in an undercover operation are deceased. He is on his own when danger traps him and his only chance could be his former handler, Deputy U.S. Marshal Meadow Ames.
I received an advanced reader's copy from Harlequin Love Inspired through NetGalley and this is my own opinion of the book. I enjoyed the story. These two characters have a history and friendship. Meadow is a K-9 officer now. Her dog Grace is a Vizsla. I had to look up the name to learn about the breed. I really enjoy stories that include dogs, especially those with jobs.
The story has an interesting series of twists and challenges for the duo. It is one in a series but works well as a stand-alone too. Meadow is a tough officer but has a fear that I share so there is a scene I understand. Ian has a very serious issue to deal with along with trying to stay alive.

This was an extremely fast paced romantic suspense novel. You are taken right into action in the opening scene and you remain there the entire length of the book. Ms. Bailey does an excellent job keeping you guessing with all the twists and turns throughout the book. I couldn't put this book down until I was able to find out how it all pans out.

Wonderful characters -- I am thankful she gives just the right amount of back story and history between Meadow and Ian to lead into where they are at currently. I love stories with K9 helpers as it just fascinates me how dogs are utilized and can be trained for high intense situations like tracking, sniffing out drugs, bombs, etc. Meadow's K9 companion, Grace, is an excellent addition and character added into this story. This is not an insta-love type story, which I really like, as you see the development from the past and how it has shaped them and how it carries into the present. Although I would say the premise of the story is more on the suspense and solving of the case, you do get a good amount of chemistry and attraction that Meadow and Ian have for each other. I do love that you get to see Ian become transformed and find healing after his traumatic injury that plagued him coming into this book.

Overall, a clean romantic suspense story. Very well written....you feel like you are right there in the midst of the "chaos". I did feel the ending/conclusion was a little rushed but it didn't really take away from my enjoyment and overall satisfaction. I enjoyed the faith elements weaved within and how faith in God was encouraged and promoted in this high stress case, especially Ian recognizing that he is truly loved and is worthy of love from God. This is Book 5 in the Mountain Country K-9 Unit Series but can be read as a stand-alone novel. I can't wait for the next book!!

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense for the advanced copy of this novel. All opinions and thoughts expressed are my own.

A medium paced faith filled romantic suspense that kept me turning pages because I just had to know what happened.

This is probably a continuation of a series, but I have not read them. This is an exciting standalone with interesting back stories. The dogs always are a nice feature. I kept turning the pages until I had read this in one day. A few nail-biting moments along the way. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary. I am eager to read more.
