Search and Defend (K-9 Search and Rescue, 4)

This is a great book. Alex Driscoll went undercover to find the killer of his partner. When that mission come to involve his partner’s widow, things changed drastically. With Violet in danger, Alex being careful to not upset her about being her husband’s partner, trying to find the Firecracker, and guard her, his job was all but impossible. When her friends started being targeted, Alex, Violet, and her K-9 all worked non-stop to find this killer. This is very exciting, and holds your interest. Get the book and see how they find the killer, you won’t be disappointed. I was provideda copy for an honest review.

Search and Defend is a Romantic Suspense story that is full of action and danger. FBI agent Alex Driscoll has avoided Violet Sharp, his former partner's widow, because he feels responsible for his partner's death. When they are both attending a fundraiser, they are thrown together as Alex is working undercover to stop the assassin that killed his partner and her husband. Violet is a K-9 officer who works for the US Forest Service working in search and rescue with her partner, Teddy. Information is that the assassin is after a high profile target, but Violet is also in danger. Can they catch the assassin and stay safe? I enjoyed the suspense and action in this story. I liked Alex and Violet, but didn't really get to know them as well as I would have liked, perhaps because this is part of a series. I loved seeing Teddy in action in this book as well, I do love K-9 stories. As Alex and Violet spend more time together, they begin to develop feelings for one another, or perhaps the feelings were there and they finally acted on them. Overall, this was an enjoyable story that I recommend to those who enjoy a short, entertaining romantic suspense story with action and danger. I have listened to other books narrated by Patrick Zeller and I enjoyed his performance with this one. His expression, tone and inflection added to the suspense.

I always expect an action-packed adventure in a Heather Woodhaven book and Search and Defend is no exception. FBI agent Alex Driscoll has avoided Violet Sharp, his former partner's widow, because he feels responsible for his partner's death but the two are thrown together when Alex is working undercover to stop the assassin that killed his partner and her husband. Violet works with the US Forest Service plus she and her K-9 partner Teddy work Search and Rescue on the side. Word is the assassin is after a high value target but it soon appears that Violet is in danger. This is a page turner with danger, suspense, twists and turns, faith, a little romance and a surprise killer. For those who enjoy K-9 stories with suspense and romance, this is another winner for Heather. I received a complimentary ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are mine only.

Strong characters, great story, awesome dog! Look forward to the rest of this series and reading more Heather Woodhaven books.

Wow! I think this one is one of her best (Heather Woodhaven)! The danger and challenges to overcome in the relationship between the hero and heroine. Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and the climax! Loved Teddy. :)
