Who are Kaitlyn & Nick? Where are they? What is happening? What do they each do for a living? Who is James/ what is Kaitlyn's favorite part of her job? Who are Maya and Brady? What do we learn about them? Who are Lexi and Rosie? Why does Lexi reach out to Nick? How do they know one another? What does Lexi ask of Nick? What is Kailtyn say she is going to do? What do we learn about one of Nick's hobbies? I loved it! I thought it was cool! What happens before a tour can be taken? Who are Harrison and Frank? What do we learn? Who is Roxie's father? What does that knowledge lead to? This story was one heck of a read! It was suspenseful, made me smile, laugh, and growl in frustration at points. It even had me sitting on the edge of my recliner at times. Enjoy the read, I did!!!!

I was hoping for more Christmas in this one. It was really good but I wanted it to be more of a holiday read but it was more action packed

I love Terri Reed’s books. This one has just the right blend of action, suspense, and sweet romance. Following Nick and Kaitlyn’s story is an adventure. The addition of the baby added another level of interest and drama to the book. As always, I’ll be watching for this author’s “Love Inspired” books.

Nick Delaney and Kaitlyn Lanz, a deputy, are about to find themselves involved with a baby. Circumstances are quite sensitive, especially due to the fact that the baby's mother died in a car crash. Not only do Nick and Kaitlyn work hard to protect the baby, they soon realize that they must worry about their own safety as well.

Their story begins when Nick gets a phone call from a friend desperately asking for help. Before he can go to her aid, the worst happens and he finds her hanging on for dear life, and her small baby tucked into the back of her car. Practically before Nick can figure out what to do he finds himself nearly shot, and that is how he comes into contact with a sheriff's deputy, Kaitlyn. Because Nick was friends with the baby's mother, he takes responsibility for the baby. He could barely act quick enough when he realizes that someone is after the small child. Kaitlyn steps in and protects the both of them.

This thrilling story starts with action and danger and it never lets up for a minute. Along the way, not only to Nick and Kaitlyn begin to care for one another, they fall for the baby as well. Excitingly, this was a very quick and satisfying read. I couldn't help but wonder how indeed things would work out for Nick, Kaitlyn and the baby, and I definitely enjoyed the journey as well as the conclusion.

Many thanks to Love Inspired Suspense and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

This is a Love Inspired Suspense and Christian book. It didn't lack for action though which is something I love. The characters are all well written and likeable. I enjoyed reading this book very much.

Nick get a call from him friend in need of some help. He hears gun shots and heads out to find his friend and see what his going on. When he (and Deputy Kaitlyn Lanz) arrive on the scene they are shot at by some men who flee.

While checking on his friend he discovers a baby who he takes responsibility for. He takes the baby home and Kaitlyn stays to help protect them both. What they discover is that people want this baby badly and will go to any length to get her. they are left to protect the baby and figure out why anyone would want to harm a baby.

As I said this was a wonderful read and first from this author for me. She has certainly found her way on to my tbr pile in the future.

Nick find himself caring for a child when someone from his past passes from a car crash. Nick knows he didn't father the child contrary to the birth certificate and now its clear someone is after him and the child. Kaitlyn is a deputy is around to help Nick figure out what's going on and keep that child safe and figure out who is behind everything.

I really enjoyed this book I love a good mystery suspense novel. I loved that there was so much going on I couldn't help but stick to it though the end because I wanted to know what was going on. Then there was two people who don't really know much about caring for a child fumbling though the process doing the best they can But the numerous attempts to come after them make things all the more complicated and I thought it was interesting seeing how everything went though. I also appreciate that this book remained clean and enjoyable with the romance that was blooming between the two even if things were complicated. Overall great book I enjoyed it.

A fast paced Christmas suspense novel that gives the reader a Christmas read without being to cheesy. A book that would get a suspense .reader to read a Christmas story.

2.5 Stars for this love inspired Christmas story!

This book was honestly kind of cheesy to me. Nick's ex girlfriend calls in a panic - he hasn't heard from her in years. He and the town sheriff, Kaitlyn go to check it out. They find the ex has been kidnapped but they left the baby! Nick decides to take the baby in - all to make Kaitlyn fall for him. That's what it seemed to me, anyway. Then there's the whole danger at every corner, explosions. Nothing seemed believable? There is a HEA if you're after that. It was unfortunately just meh.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A single mother's car crash brings Nick Delaney and Deputy Kaitlin Lanz together as they work to protect baby Rosie, from the people who it appears will stop at nothing to get to her.

A fast paced, and engaging suspense, with intriguing protagonists. I liked how the baby brought two unlikely people together as they work to take care of a baby girl, and keep her safe. Kaitlin works hard to keep proving herself as a capable officer, she is close to her family and is passionate about her job. Nick protects himself with his flirty persona, acting the part of a rich playboy, hiding a passion to make a difference.

Nick and Kaitlin both have their own protection mechanisms, through the walls they build and the images they project, but caring for a baby tears all that away. I liked how they came to trust each other, and solve problems in order to keep baby Rosie safe.

Overall, a fast paced and entertaining read, I didn't want to put it down. I loved the strong themes of faith, family, and opening your heart to love. Definitely recommend to fans of romantic suspense!

Awwww I love this book, it's a holiday romance read spiced up with suspense.
This one is a mixed between enemies to lovers and suspense. It's sweet and lots of actions and I can't put it down once I start. It all started with shooting, attempted kidnapping and a baby, yes it's not as simple as I thought it would be. There's a big why unanswered at the end that bothered me, but I can ignore it with the love story between Kaitlyn and Nick going on around, in the end it's an entertaining enjoyable page-turner read for me.
This book also has great characters, Deputi Kaitlyn is one badass woman, the one you can rely on when trouble's knocking on your door, and Nick is a sweet man, I love how protective he is towards baby Rosie. These two are perfect fo each other.
Good story, great characters, yup love it and if you're looking for a fast-paced light suspense romance read with holiday's vibe, this is for you.

Talk about a action packed mystery suspense story! Never a dull moment for sure!
Christmas Protection Detail delivers so much, you can’t help but be drawn into the story. The two main characters, Nick and Kaitlyn, are very endearing and likeable. Throw in a very cute baby and you have a heartwarming story to delve into. The romance aspect is so sweet as Nick and Kaitlyn get to really know each other.
This is a clean romantic suspense that you will not be able to put down.
I hope to read more by Terri Reed. I enjoyed her writing style as it kept me engaged throughout the whole story.

Christmas Protection Detail is an enjoyable, action-packed and clean romantic suspense. It involves Nick and Kaitlyn. It seemed that it was part of a series, but I'm not sure. Previous interactions between Kaitlyn and Nick were mentioned in the context of other adventures, so I think there is some back story. Still, it did work well as a stand alone.

There is a lot of action from the beginning of the book and it sucked me right in. Even though it takes place over only a couple of days, I felt like Nick and Kaitlyn really grew to know more about each other. I found their HEA very believable and sweet. One of the things I really liked about this book was the way Kaitlyn was in the role of the protector. I also loved how Nick was more than happy to respect that role. I definitely recommend this one.

The Christmas spirit is upon us but Kaitlyn, a member of the Mounted Police, doesn't have much time for tree decorations and the festive side of life when Nick asks her for help as a friend is in trouble. They rush to the rescue and find a woman and baby. Who caused the car accident that left a woman in a coma?

Kaitlyn and Nick find themselves in charge of a baby. Will sparks fly between them? Kaitlyn is not too into love, but will circumstances conspire to make her feel differently?

I was hooked from the start to the end by Terri Reed's writing. Suspense, action and real emotions as well as well-fleshed out characters. I was pleased to find Brady there and the fact that he had Down Syndrome made for a more diverse character lineup. I was pleased he was popular within the town.

Apart from the time of year and the tree decorations, there wasn't much "christmassy" about this.

Thanks to Terri Reed and Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense for my ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

4. 5 stars.

When Police officer Kaitlyn Lanz runs into Nick Delaney yet again, she is flustered. The man is rich and arrogant, and she wants nothing to do with him. He is frustrating and Kaitlyn is not even interested in being friends.

When Nick calls Kaitlyn and tells her, he got a call from an old friend and it sounds like she is in serious trouble. They rush to the scene to find a car crash, an unconscious woman, and a young baby. Nick vows to keep the baby safe until the police can find out what really happened. Now Kaitlyn finds herself in the Delaney mansion with Nick and a newborn baby which neither of them know how to take care of.

Just when they think they are safe; someone comes after the baby and they are racing against the clock to find out who it is and what they want. At every turn there is another obstacle and Kaitlyn and Nick are soon in the middle of a murder.

This story just grips you right from the first page. The suspense builds and the mystery just keeps getting more complicated and deadly. I loved Terri Reed’s writing style and the character development. I could not put this book down! The added touch of Nick and Kaitlyn caring for a newborn tugged at my heartstrings as well. Thank you so much to the author Terri Reed, Harlequin Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.

This was ok. I liked that it was a clean book. I liked that Nick and Kait had a history and didn't just meet and "fall in love" The baby aspect was cute, fairly easy read

Okay. This is a darling little story!

I really loved how the hero connected with the baby, I didn't really feel a connection with the heroine but I still found this to be a wonderful short mystery.

As the title suggests, Christmas Protection Detail does include suspense and intrigue. That said, other than the story taking place during the Christmas season, the holiday has little to do with everything going on. Christmas themed or not, this one is a solid mystery. It has a good combination of action and tension to keep the pages turning, the characters are likable, and we get a sweet baby to ooh and aah over, which is always a surefire way to tug at the heartstrings. The book is a quick read, the story is well written and engaging, and the suspense has good buildup. All of that combined with characters you just want to root for, this one is a good way to while away a cold weekend.

This was a very fast-paced read with action that was almost non-stop. From the first page when Deputy Kaitlyn Lanz responds to a car crash outside the Delaney compound, the action and the interaction between the main characters begins. Nick Delaney is a multi-millionaire (by birth) and should be haughty and arrogant and unapproachable. However, he is none of those things. When his friend Lexi is critically injured trying to come to him to escape ruthless villains, he volunteers to take care of her tiny infant Rosie and vows to do all that he has to do to protect her. With car chases, ambulance rides, gate-crashing weapons teams and various other heart-stopping action scenes, this book is not your typical laid-back Christmas romance. The suspense was thrilling and the developing relationship between Kaitlyn and Nick was subtle and mostly hidden for most of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed how invested both of them were in protecting Rosie and in finding Lexi’s secret and turning it over to the authorities. There were multiple surprises in the book that definitely kept me glued to the pages. I highly recommend this book to those who like a lot of suspense and a little bit of Christmas thrown in.

This is a Love Inspired Suspense book. I found it to be action packed and very unpredictable edge of seat reading. I liked how the chapters ended with a situation that entices readers to move on quickly to the next chapter. Indeed it is very hard to put the book down. Great characters make the story come to life on the pages. Readers learn the gruelling task that law enforcement officers go through to keep the law and order in their communities.
Nick Delaney gets a phone call from a friend who needs help. He hears gun shots and his friend screaming before the call is cut off. He seeks help from Deputy Kaitlyn Lanz and they set out in search of his friend. They come upon a car wreck, where two men shoot at Nick and Kaitlyn. The thugs are no match for Deputy Lanz and they flee the scene. Nick and Kaitlyn discover his friend is seriously hurt and also find a small baby strapped in a car seat, unhurt.
Nick volunteers to take the baby home with him. It doesn't take long to find out the thugs want to kidnap the baby. They're willing to kill in order to get what they want and the thugs aren't discouraged easily. Again and again they try to find a way to get on his property and snatch the baby . Nicks house is like a fortress and has the best in security protection. Deputy Lanz gets assigned to protect Nick and the baby and does her best to keep them both safe. Why do these thugs want the baby and who do they work for? What do they hope to gain if they do succeed in kidnapping this three month old girl. Will Deputy Kaitlyn Lanz be able to ward off their continuous attacks or will the thugs eventually outsmart her?
Readers who enjoy reading suspense fiction or Love Inspired books will love this book.
