Christian Suspense has quickly become a favorite genre of mine. Personal Threat by Kimberly Rose Johnson is Book #5 in the Protection Inc. series. I have read one other book in this series and was awaiting the release of the next book and it is here.

Sally Wilson is a bodyguard raising a daughter, Emma, as a Single Mother. Sally and Emma are anticipating the Christmas Season and looking forward to celebrating. Sally's job and life take a turn when Emma is being targeted by Child Traffickers. Sally is also being targeted, as Emma's Bio Dad wants Sally Dead. Local Police officer and Sally's friend, Dillon Brady, is assigned to the case to help Sally and Emma. Dillon and Sally find themselves attracted to one another, beyond the friendship they already have. Sally is hesitant about getting in a relationship due to past hurts. Will Dillon Brady be able to forever protect Emma and Sally? Will Sally let down her guard and allow a relationship to blossom?

WOW, for being a short novella, only 86 pages, it packs a LOT of suspense and romance into the book. I finished this book in about 90 minutes and was sad to see it end! I really wanted more because the book was soo good! Sally and Dillon both have good careers and a great friendship. I enjoyed how they let the relationship slower mature as they began spending more time together under Dillon's protection. The twists and turns in this short book were just amazing. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes Christian Romance with Suspense! FANTASTIC BOOK!

More from Kimberly

Every year since I signed the contract for my debut novel, a book set at Christmastime, I have made it a goal to write a Christmas book, usually a novella. This year, Personal Threat is that book.

I wrapped up the series with Personal Threat. My husband came up with the title for this one because the threat in this book is very personal for one of the Protection Inc. team members.

We first met Sally in book two of the series and it seemed only fitting she starred in a book of her own. We also get to know Dillon better in this book which for me was super fun to write. He’s played an important and growing role as the series has progressed and is one of my favorite characters in the series.
