Summary

Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now paired together on Yancey’s search-and-rescue canine unit, they begin to put aside old arguments as they come to see each other in a different light.

Then a call comes in from the Iditarod that will push them to their limits. Kirra’s uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing. Frank’s daughter has been kidnapped. In order to save her, the man must use his knowledge as a mechanical engineer to do the kidnapper’s bidding or she will die.

Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl’s life, but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen.

My Review

I love inspirational romantic suspense and I've enjoyed what I've read of this series so far. The series focuses on the McKenna family and Sabotaged specifically focuses mostly on Reef, one of the brothers, but also has quite a few cameos from other members of the family whose stories have already been shared in this series. It was nice to see where they all were in their relationships and lives while getting to know Reef a lot better.

I really liked the characters in this story, specifically Reef and Kirra. Reef has a strong male role and wants to protect and care for Kirra. Kirra kind of plays the damsel in distress, except she's very capable. She doesn't completely trust Reef, at least not with her heart since she's known him for some time and knows his history of being a player. Reef doesn't feel like he fully deserves her, but he does all he can to help her and gets his whole family involved as well.

Sabotaged had plenty of suspense, twists, family, Alaskan terrain, and romance. It also included inspirational moments when the characters leaned on God and had to trust that things would work out. If you've enjoyed this series so far or enjoy reading Tracie Peterson's books as well as others like her then you would enjoy Sabotaged as well.

Content: Some violence, but otherwise clean.
