Honor and Defend

GIVEAWAY
EASON, LYNETTE
HONOR AND DEFEND

A perilous reunion

Framed for a crime he didn't commit. Lee Earnshaw is two weeks out of prison when an ex-con tries to kill him and his former love, K-9 rookie cop Ellen Foxcroft. Recognizing their attacker as a man he met in prison, Lee knows he must be the intended target. But is the shooter settling a score, or does Lee have something he wants? Determined to start over, training puppies and maybe getting a second chance with Ellen, Lee vows to keep both of them safe. But as they investigate together, Ellen's golden retriever partner at their side, they find themselves dead center in a killer's crosshairs.

Rookie K-9 Unit: These lawmen solve the toughest cases with the help of their brave canine partners

My Review:

Another installment of the Rookie K-9 Unit continuity series and I'm chomping at the bit to see if my suspicions are valid in the over-arcing suspense thread. You don't need to have read the first three to enjoy this one, but it sure is fun to speculate!

Is there anything cuter than Golden Retriever puppies? I think not! And there are three in this story! And a hunky hero who just also happens to be a dog trainer. Serious heart palpitations! Lee's determined to take his life back...and that includes resuming his ill-fated romance with Ellen. She's intent on crime solving so she can finally escape her home town for good. There's no room in her life for opening her heart to anyone, let alone ex-boyfriend, Lee. Besides, she feels way too guilty over the way she treated him. Life gets even more complicated when they become targets of illusive predators.

Lots of action and intrigue balanced by sweet romance made me a very happy romantic suspense reader.
