Shielding Instinct

Cerberus Tactical K9 Team Charlie, Book 3

By: Fiona Quinn

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock

How is he supposed to shield her from danger when she keeps running right toward it?

Dr. Petra Armstrong has made the most of her neurodivergent gifts. She's at the top of her game as a leading FBI brain security researcher. But it isn't work that brings a handsome ex-Green Beret into her life. That honor belongs to an ill-fated trip to St. Croix, a few daring rescues, and a convicted felon on the run.

Hawkeye Kesse thought his time in the military—not to mention his work with the Cerberus Tactical K9 Team Charlie—made him impervious to surprise. And somehow, Petra still throws him for a loop. With one crisis after another, they depend on each other to find a way through. What Hawkeye really wants is time to get to know the most brilliant woman he's ever met and see where things might go between them.

When all is said and done, surviving the sea's wrath and keeping a criminal family from escaping justice will be easy. Getting to happily ever after? That'll be the real challenge for Petra and Hawkeye.

Shielding Instinct, book three in the Cerberus Tactical K9 Team Charlie series, is an adventure romantic suspense featuring a STEM heroine who refuses to be a damsel in distress, the protective hero she never knew she needed, and Cooper, a working K9 who is almost as handsome as his human partner.

Wow!

There wasn’t anything about this book I didn’t like or love. Let’s start with the narration. I would love it if I could have him talk me to sleep every night. I would always be in a good mood when waking. The story was the most interesting and informative that I’ve listened to. I have a neurodivergent son. I’ve never heard his issues discussed in this particular way. The book was informative and exciting. Not only about neurodivergence, but types of rescues and how they can be done. This is fiction and I love it, but Kudos to the author for all the research on different topics. I wish the book could have gone on and on. I hate waiting on the next Fiona Quinn book, but you know I will.

Very entertaining story and performance!!

I love this book. The action, adventure, suspense, and bit of romance are so well written that the story just flows. I love the characters, both human and K-9, and the information about the way neurodivergent people think and feel. This is really a terrific book. The performance is excellent.
