A K9 Handler Romance (Disaster City Search and Rescue, Book 34)

De: Jenna Brandt

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A former U.S. Marshal starting a new job, a mafia widow in need of help, and the second chance neither of them saw coming.

Alex Foster just got hired by Disaster City Search and Rescue and he’s excited to work alongside his former partner from the U.S Marshal service. But he’s only at his new job a couple of weeks when his ex high school sweetheart calls him up and begs for his help. She was the only witness to a mafia hit, and she’s terrified.

Everly Castillo was planning her escape from her abusive husband, but before she can get away from him, he ends up getting killed right in front of her. She takes the opportunity to run, knowing that his powerful crime family will kill her because she knows too much. She reaches out to her ex-boyfriend, and he offers to get her in contact with someone at his former work, but she only trusts him.

Can Alex protect Everly from her cutthroat in-laws? Will they give into their rekindled attraction? And will Everly agree to go into WITSEC even if it means leaving Alex behind forever?

Action & Anxiety!

While most of the stories that I review for Jenna Brant are five stars across the board, this one was a little bit drug out. I also really didn’t see the relationship build up or attraction like I have in her other books. It seemed like Everly and Alex cared for each other, but not the usual, ‘I can’t live without you’ attraction. Even near the end of the story it seemed like Everly was trying to decide whether Alex could stay with her or not. It was almost as though she had left so much behind, she just wanted to keep something from her past. The care for each other only came to light near the very end of the story. The description of the relationship between the dogs and their trainers was a beautiful bond, that was unquestionable!
