Witness Protection Widow

Anytime I get a new Debra Webb book to read, I get excited because I know that I am in for a treat of tautly written suspense as well as romance that captures my heart. WITNESS PROTECTION WIDOW presents the suspense and the romance in just the right mixture to intrigue fans of both genres. Allison has married into the powerful and ruthless Armone family, unaware that her husband is part of a major Atlanta crime syndicate. Barely escaping with her life after her husband is killed, now Ali is ready to testify against her father-in-law, if she can just stay alive to do so. U.S. Marshall Jaxson Stevens has the enviable task of protecting the new widow until she can get to court. Jax and Ali have a shared past that plays well into the whole intriguing and compelling plot. Fans of romantic suspense will not want to miss out on this one!

Allison James was married to a mob boss for five years; three of them as his prisoner. When she witnessed her father-in-law murder his own son in front of her; she knew she needed to escape. Once Allison finally got to to the FBI she was put in WITSEC. Finally, she felt safer than she had in a long time. Soon she learned she was to be moved, the U S Marshall who was protecting her was injured in an auto accident. The replacement turned out to be her former boyfriend...

Alison fell into this mess after her first love Jaxson Stevens decided to leave her to pursue his dream career as a U S Marshall. Jax has never stopped loving Ali but, his heart was crushed when he found out she married a year after he left. Even though he had kept up with what she was doing, he never let her know.
Now that she is in Witness Protection and her current police protection is in the hospital. They call in Jaxson to assist for the next four days of protection before the trial.

I loved getting to see both sides of the story and see how easily things can be misinterpreted. I really enjoyed this book which is a part of Webb’s Winchester, Tennessee series so a number of familiar faces pop up to bring background to the story.. The author did an excellent job of using the backstory from the previous four books along with their characters sprinkled throughout the plot and blended well with the story line. This book could be read as a standalone one however, I feel that the reader would gain much more from reading the previous titles to learn more about the characters.

If you love suspense then this is the book for you! This book is action packed and a must read for anyone who loves suspense. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
