I have a heart for K-9's, even more, I admire ones who work so hard with their people to solve cases and deal with crimes. What a wonderful blessing they are! So with that in mind, this book had my attention. Penny has had a trauma a child shouldn't have, her parents were killed with her present when she was only four years old. She and her brother have had a great deal to work though, not the least of which is that the case went cold.
Ahhh, but unravel this crime the author did. It unfolds while we get to know several characters and shrink back a the person evil enough to do this to someone else, and besides sin, what reasons did the perp have? The theme of God's love, no matter how we might feel about ourselves, is a strong aspect of this story. The action, pacing, and romantic suspense didn't disappoint in any way. I really liked this read, and have become fond of Mentink's stories.

I always enjoy Dana Mentink's romantic suspense but she has outdone herself with this book. It's now one of my favorites from her writing! Packed with intense action, pursuit, and suspense, this book will have you biting your nails until the end of the book. The romance between Penny and Tyler is sweet and tender, even if both of them have reservations about starting any relationship. Penny is gentle, loving, and compassionate though she's still running scared from the trauma that took her parents away from her twenty years ago. Now the suspected murderer of her parents has resurfaced for Penny and it's up to Tyler to keep her safe. Tyler is a great hero - brooding from his divorce and rejection, hard-working and dedicated as a police detective in the K-9 unit, tender and protective as a single father. His interactions with his mother is quite endearing as is his friendship with Penny's older brother Bradley. The police dogs, as well as Penny's pet Scrappy, are easy to fall in love with and rounded out a lovely set of secondary characters.
This is book 7 from the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series and it can definitely be read as a stand-alone but it does seem to address two threats that have been hanging over this department throughout the series. The author does a great job of cluing the reader in to these on-going plot lines and I didn't have a problem understanding them even though I haven't read any other book in the series.
