Witness Protection Unraveled

Overall, a pleasant jaunt through the characters' unpleasant week. This one is from the Protected Identities series, and it's interesting to see the difference with witness protection in Canada vs. the US (instead of marshals, they have RCMP, etc).

Travis has settled in and been living in peace with rooms over his landlady's bookshop. Nothing seems to have gone amiss until his former partner calls to ask for his help—and before anything else can happen, before Jessica can even reach town, a man in a puffy protective suit attacks his landlady and then him. Is it connected?

I enjoyed the read and didn't lose interest. I found a number of things that happened stretched the realm of possibility (jumping out of a helicopter and tossing kids out of a helicopter, etc) but at times the action moved so fast it felt like the author forgot to include details to describe the scene very well. Also there were some inconsistencies that pulled me out of the story, such as the hero having literally gone to therapy over a coffee addiction and pledged never to drink it again, but then the heroine smelling his “familiar coffee scent.”

I'll definitely be reading more of this series.
