It's pretty darn great for a short story! This fantastic novella is the prequel to the K-9 Rescue series by author D.D. Ayres. To tell you the truth, I am already hooked on this series. So when the chance came along to grab this book I jumped on it right away. I am glad that I did because it was a good read that pulled me in right away and it didn't let go until the end.This thrilling story began with a betrayal. I don't usually like it when that happens, and it's hard for me to connect and get over it when it does. All in all though, the author did a great job with Brad's character. I was okay with everything after he became so determined to help Georgie. Now, Georgie was one of those heroines that I like to read about. She was a strong one. She stayed calm and faced the situation and did something about it. They had great chemistry together, but not really a lot of hot love scenes. There just wasn't time for that because of the length of the story and all that was going on. So I think their story should've been told with a full length novel. Just so I could've had more of them, you see. Lol :))The suspense here was good. It kept me on edge trying to figure out the identity of Georgie's stalker / secret admirer. I will say that I liked the big twist the author threw in, though I kind of had it figured out by then.So I really enjoyed the book. The writing was good, the plot was strong and made sense. Everything flowed perfectly so that it was easy to read. I liked the characters, the dog, the romance and the suspense. The angst was extra good because of how the relationship began. That was the part that I ended up really loving. I loved the big ending too. I only wished for more time with Brad and Georgie so I could watch their relationship grow. Maybe they will pop up in another book. Keeping my fingers crossed.I can honestly say that I never put the book down once I started reading it. I'm definitely up for the next book in the K-9 Rescue series and hoping to see a full length novel next time. Love this author and so glad that I discovered this great series.Review by: DebraTaylor of Night Owl ReviewsDisclosure: Most books that Night Owl reviews are received courtesy of the publisher, author or publicist.
