DESCRIPTION:
With his K-9 partner’s help,
can he save an innocent life?
K-9 officer Jared Miles stumbles upon a crime scene on his day off and believes Kassie Ashbaugh is the victim of a random attack. However, as threats on her life continue, he realizes that Kassie is in grave danger. Her father's abandoned boat suggests foul play, and Jared suspects someone is after Kassie for something her missing father is hiding. Can Jared unravel the mystery before unknown enemies catch her?
MY THOUGHTS:
Kassie Ashbaugh and Jared Mills meet after she’s attacked. Jared, a canine officer, was with his K-9 partner at the scene of the crime. Despite the instant attraction between them, romance is the last thing on Kassie’s mind. She’s deeply concerned about her father, who abandoned his boat, and that’s when she was attacked. This was just the beginning of her dangerous journey.
Kassie and her twin sister Kris soon discover that their father’s charter business is in disarray. Kassie not only faces danger from an unknown source but also grapples with numerous challenges. Jared, who works well with his dog Justice, carries personal baggage. Despite his struggles, he makes every effort to protect Kassie.
This is the first book in a new series. Kassie and Kris have a strained relationship, but with Kris’s story coming next, we can expect to see their bond improve. There’s also mention of their younger sister, Alyssa, whose story will be the third in the series.

DESCRIPTION:
and a K-9 to shield them.
When Alyssa Anderson stumbles upon her ex-boyfriend’s illegal art theft operation, she goes on the run—and narrowly escapes a drive-by shooting. With the help of her high school sweetheart, Spencer Cavanaugh, and his service dog, Apollo, Alyssa tries to stay one step ahead of her ex who will do anything to find her. When hit men are sent to her hometown, Alyssa’s life is in more danger than ever before. Can Spencer and Apollo protect her from a crime ring more sinister than they ever imagined?
MY THOUGHTS:

This third book in an engaging series was an audiobook review for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the narration. I love second chance romances, and that’s exactly what we have here between Spencer and Alyssa. This was sweet story that will hold a warm space place in my heart.
From medical secretary to court reporter to property manager to owner of a special events decorating company, Carol's résumé reads as if she doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. But one thing that has remained constant through the years is her love for writing. She started as a child writing poetry for family and friends, then graduated to articles and finally novels.
Carol lives in sunshiny Central Florida and writes fun and fast-paced inspirational romance and romantic suspense.

She is also a popular speaker, presenting workshops on a variety of craft topics. Besides writing, she enjoys sailing, hiking, camping—almost anything outdoors. Her two grown daughters and grandkids live too far away for her liking, so she now pours all that nurturing into taking care of a fat and sassy black cat and a highly-spoiled dachshund.
