Called to Protect is the second book in the Blue Justice series by Lynette Eason. You can totally read it as a stand-alone though. Like I said in my review of book one, Oath of Honor, Lynette always writes a good solid story. I love that she is going to write a story for each sibling!
Warning. This book deals with human trafficking. Lynette does such a wonderful job writing on this very hard subject. It’s hard to believe things like this really happen.
I immediately liked both Blake and Chloe and could only imagine how Blake felt after his daughter, Rachel, was taken. I also enjoyed reading more about the other siblings. The story was quick moving and very tense at certain points. While reading, I kept thinking of the movie Taken with Liam Neeson - and any book that reminds me of Liam is a good book in my opinion!
My only issue with this book was that Rachel, Blake’s daughter, did some things I’m not sure a person of her age would do. The next in the series, Code of Valor, comes out in January of 2019!

Backcover Blurb:
For the past year, Chloe St. John has been working as a K-9 cop with her German shepherd partner, Hank. After being dumped by her fiancé for another woman, Chloe has decided that Hank is just about the only male she likes. She's over the whole romance thing and focuses her attention on doing her job. Because a serious case of human trafficking with connections to her missing cousin just landed in her lap.
When US Marshall Blake MacCallum's daughter goes missing, he's ordered to kill the judge he's protecting and tell no one about his daughter's disappearance or she will die. Blake races against the clock to rescue his daughter while Chloe and Hank are asked to be a part of the task force assembled to bring down the traffickers. Chloe finds herself attracted to the silent, suffering man, but thanks to her previous bad judgment, she wonders if she can trust him. And can Blake trust himself around this firecracker of a woman?
Bestselling author Lynette Eason warns readers to buckle in for a fast and furious ride that will have their hearts pumping from the very start.
Available in digital ebook, paperback, hardcover and audio:
I wish I could recall the title of a book I read that dealt with trafficking and took place in Texas. I'll have to figure it out but I believe it was during the Grace Awards. It was, as you say, both painful and shocking to see just how easily this happens in our society. Thanks for reviewing, Kim! I have no doubts when it comes to Lynette Eason's writing. She always delivers!
