Rescue Mission (Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit, 8)

Woohooo! This is the book I've been waiting for -- when we finally get to find out what happened to baby Chloe. 'Rescue Mission' is the eighth book in this multi-authored series and I love how each previous book edged us closer to this big reveal. If you're new to this series, you can totally jump in here so no catching up needed, though you'd enjoy it if you did. Each book in the series has it's own unique suspense and romance as well as an overarching suspense plot that finds resolution in this final instalment. But the authors do a great job of catching new readers up with former heroes and heroines as well as the progress of the suspense tie-in so you can really hop in at any point in the series. The intense opening scene sets the stage for this action-packed grand finale. I felt like I knew Kate already from snippets in previous books and I was excited to delve into her story. And -- bonus points -- she comes with her very own therapy dog so we get double the puppy love and that makes me very happy. :-) Plus hero Lucas is kinda alluring in his own right. I like that there's a bit of a history between these two as well. More on Lucas's end since he has been watching over Kate (in a way) since her attack eight months previously. So he's really invested in the outcome of this case and his protector spidey senses are fully charged. It makes the romance that develops all the more realistic. And, though 'amnesia' isn't my favourite trope in a suspense plot, I really like the way it plays out here. It's been eight months since Kate's attack and she's been through extensive physical and psychological therapy during that time. Even so, she still hasn't fully regained her memories. They are coming to her in fragmented pieces though, and no one knows if she will ever fully recover. I like how realistic this approach to the amnesia trope is. I just bought into it more, plus it really amped up the suspense all through the series as we got updates on Kate's recovery...and lack of solid memories that could have helped the investigation along. Eason delivers an enthralling conclusion to this outstanding series! I'm thrilled that all the books are available in audio format and I have the entire collection in my audible library to revisit in the future. I find it interesting that each book has a different narrator. They've all been fantastic and I really enjoyed Carol Jacobanis's performance in this one. Oh -- and while I say 'Rescue Mission' is the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit grand finale, we still have a set of Christmas novellas to look forward to in December. Woohoo!

I felt like I had plunged into a book that started somewhere else, but eventually Kate's memories start to fill in the blank spots for her AND this reader. A case of amnesia aided & abetted by one who should have been helping was finally resolved and the culprits were caught. K-9 Angel helped find Chloe, and canine support dog did her part as well.

What a wonderful mystery. The woman was being hunted to be killed. Amazing how she kept herself alive and how many times she was found where she was hiding. Very good story.

Lucas, a K-9 officer, protects and helps Kate as she recovers from having amnesia and tries to remember what happened to Chloe. But they have to figure out whodunit, do their best to stay alive, and find baby Chloe because someone's after Kate. This was a great story that had lots of suspense, action, and twists and turns.

I loved the there of this book. I just hate for any book of this series, even though they are inner linked, to end. There is so much imagination, and writing talent, that keeps my interest. Sincerely, MeSheila6
