A review by elylibrarysec
In the Line of Duty by Carolyn Arnold

5.0

The author starts her story off showing that officers do have a life outside of work. But in an instant work can intrude. Ms. Arnold also shows that this is not a job for everyone. It takes a very special person who can put our lives above their own.

In light of recent events, this may be a hard story to read. It brings home how much of a family police officers are. And how much they’re willing to protect each other. They feel sadness, pain, and joy just like the rest of us – or at least most of us. I’m giving you a warning that this is a tissue book – just sayin’.

Madison Knight shows how hard it is to shut the job off. She has me questioning whether I would ever go to a place where violence has taken place. Madison shows the reader how much we have to respect the people that wear the uniform. Some people may not like what they do but can you imagine what our lives would be like without them.

What impressed me is that the author takes the time to take the reader through what happens when the police investigate a crime. She kept the scenes moving along and doesn’t bog them down with too much information so that the readers get bored. One great thing is that she got me out of the comfort zone of reading romances. She has so much going on that I didn’t even miss it. For me, the ending is open-ended which leaves the door open for the next book. If not for a tour like this, I may have never discovered this series and I can’t wait to see what Madison has in store for the readers.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
