CHASING SECRETS

When a witness becomes a target...can this K-9 track down the killer?

After Karenna Pressley stumbles upon a ruthless drug dealer trying to drown her best friend, she's on his hit list -- and out of places to run. Her ex-boyfriend, K-9 officer Ray Morrow, is determined to keep her dafe with his drug-detecting spaniel, Abby. But with danger staking them, will their reunion be a chance for a fresh start or the end for them both?

True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn

My Review:

Phew! That super-charged opening scene had me hooked! Intensity plus in both the criminal pursuit and the reunion romance!

Kareena and Ray were an almost happily ever after couple until something went inexplicably wrong -- like both making assumptions about the other and nobody taking the initiative to talk things out. Five years later they meet up again under tense circumstances and the pages fairly crackled with charged unrequited love energy. Felt their connection right from the start and I loved the way their romance played out amidst all the chaos and danger.

And -- woohooo-- gotta give a shout out to Abby, the K-9 heroine! One of my first canine crushes was a springer spaniel named Billy and I've loved the breed ever since so I was thrilled with Abby just from that cover art. I do believe she's my first fictional springer spaniel and it's about time! Love all the details Woodhaven shared about the K-9 training and the way their scent detection works. I feel like I have a better understanding of how a K-9 partnership works which makes it easier for me to picture the Brooklyn team in action.

This is the second book in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Booklyn continuity series. There are two suspense threads going on -- one that is specific to Kareena and Ray's story which is fully resolved and another that will thread its way through each book until the last one releases in the fall. I like the way that second suspense plot is developing, giving readers a chance to connect with the whole team and get a sense of their personalities while giving us an opportunity to process clues right alongside them. Since a new book is released every month, it's easy to remember pertinent details from one story to the next, though Woodhaven has done a great job of keeping new-to-the-series readers current with her recap of information from the previous book. Chasing Secrets can definitely be read as a standalone romantic suspense.
