After growing up in foster care, investigative reporter Naya Michél has learned there’s usually more to a situation than meets the eye. When she’s assigned a story about the current water contamination crisis in town, Naya is ready to show her boss she has what it takes to secure a promotion—especially since the events surrounding the story have personal ties to her childhood. When her investigation makes her the target of someone who wants the truth kept quiet, how far will Naya’s determination take her before the cost becomes too much?
Rescue Squad firefighter and former foster kid Zack Stephens is ready to step up his game at work when his boss hands him a cold case for hazmat training. As Zack delves into the case, he uncovers a shocking revelation—his parents’ deaths weren’t accidental. Determined to find their murderer, Zack throws himself into the investigation. But he doesn’t expect his search to collide with Naya, the girl he promised to protect when they lived in foster care together.
As threats mount and Naya is caught in the crosshairs, can Zack reconcile the mistakes of his past and find a killer before someone deals a lethal blow? And can the two of them learn to trust—and love—each other again despite the pain of their past?

My Review
Rescued Duty
by Lisa Phillips, Laura Conaway
Book 5 in the Last Chance Fire and Rescue series
Rating: 4/5
This action-packed thriller with romance and mystery was filled with all the things that make up a great story. The authors did an excellent job of fleshing out the main characters and giving them believable back stories with flaws and endearing traits. The mystery keeps the reader guessing until the end. The romance is sweet and messy at times with all the insecurities and feelings that happen when two broken people try to get together. I will definitely be reading more from these authors and in this series.
Highly recommend this clean, fiery romantic suspense thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.
My thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No positive review was expected and no compensation received.
