Keeping Guard

By: Sandra Owens

Narrated by: Patrick Zeller

"With realistic characters, witty banter, a well-written storyline, and a bit of action thrown in, Keeping Guard will draw readers in from the first page until the last." —Harlequin Junkie

Finding the future they deserve will mean leaving the past behind…

Navy SEAL Noah Alba is on extended leave after a terrible mistake resulted in the loss of his K-9 partner. He arrives in Asheville, North Carolina, hoping to get his head on straight before he returns overseas. When an old friend recruits him to train service dogs for veterans, he doesn’t feel ready. Still, rambunctious rescue dog Lucky is awfully hard to resist—as is the drop-dead stunning bride Noah encounters while hiking.

When she finds out her fiancé is only marrying her to gain control of her family’s brewery, Peyton Sutton’s I do turns into a hard pass real quick. But Peyton’s father and now-jilted ex are determined to force the match at any cost. Running away can only get her so far, until Noah—and his adorably fierce canine companion—step in as an unlikely protector.

Guarding a runaway bride in the close quarters of her downtown loft is no way to avoid a simmering attraction. But Peyton can’t outrun her ex, and Noah can’t outrun his past; they’ll have to find a way to move forward together, or risk making another terrible mistake.

Noah and Peyton and dogs

This is Noah and Peyton's story along with K-9s and puppies. It is a character driven story and reveals their rocky pathway to happiness with some suspense along the way. The performance of the story is very good. It is an entertaining listen. I look forward to more in the series.

MUST LISTEN. FANTASTIC

Keeping Guard with K9 Brothers

I say the say here as I did for books 1&3 - if you are looking for K9 search and rescue type stories then these books are not for you. I enjoyed the story but it’s more about the Seals and the FMC and not so much to do with search and rescue using K9 assistance.

This is a story with just the right amount of love

Just the right amount of romance and a SEAL rescue. A heartwarming story for gals.

Good listen.

This story is a decent love story. Some parts were slow and only a few suspensions in it.
