Book Description from Goodreads:
Her serial killer brother’s escaped—and it’s single mom Zoe Sullivan who’s under suspicion! Sgt. Linc Colson trusts two things: his instincts and his Rottweiler K-9 partner, Star—and certainly not the pretty face he’s assigned to monitor. He’s done everything to keep her from getting under his skin—now he must stop those who want to put her six feet under.


My Review:
Bound by Duty is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the 2nd book in the series, but it works as a standalone. Zoe's brother is a serial killer, escaped and threatening women on base. Military police are keeping an eye on her in case her brother contacts her, and everyone treats her like she's a criminal, too. Even Colson at first, who was once deceived by a woman who seemed innocent but led his squad into an attack. It doesn't help that someone's trying to make people doubt Zoey's reliability and mental state.

Zoe liked how Colson made her feel protected, was good with her young son, and their shared background of criminal family members. Colson became her friend when no one else believed her. The suspense came from the threats to Zoey, some physical and some playing mental games. Still, I don't like Christian romances that end with the couple married after knowing each other for only a short period of time and only liking each other for about a week. Yes, they got married, not just engaged.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this interesting romantic suspense.
