TRACKING A KIDNAPPER

Foiling a criminal's plans makes an officer and her K-9 partner targets.

Thwarting a kidnapping has thrust Officer Vivienne Armstrong and her K-9 partner, Hank, right into the culprit's crosshairs. Now, even with danger stalking them at every turn, Vivienne refuses to stop working, but FBI agent Caleb Black intends to do his job and safeguard her. Together, can they stop the would-be kidnapper from striking a final, fatal blow?

True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn

My Reviews:

Though the fifth book in the True-Blue K-9 Unit Brooklyn continuity series, Tracking a Kidnapper reads very well as a standalone. There's an over-arcing suspense plot that inches forward with each book but there's also a distinct suspense that gets solved in every book too. Each author does an amazing job of working pertinent details from previous books into the current one so no need to be worried that you'll feel lost if you pick up one of these books out of order. So a reader gets tantalizing tidbits of one mystery and  the satisfactory conclusion of another. Plus...there's romance! And a dog!

And a cantankerous FBI Special Agent hero stuck in the anger stage of grief. I really felt Caleb's struggles. Unable to see God in the midst of his trauma, he's barricaded his heart and seems to be working on auto-pilot. In fact, work is all he has to distract him until Vivienne comes along. And then she's on his mind -- and in his face -- all too often. And he doesn't like it one bit...especially when he begins to realize he has feelings for the K-9 Officer. She's feisty and spunky and determined to be accepted as an equal partner when all Caleb wants to do is protect. Great clashing of wills and gnashing of teeth -- banter and huffy 'discussions' -- their combined energy crackled its way to a hard-won happily ever after.

And then there's Hank, border collie superstar. Loved the way Hansen brings out the special relationship a K-9 handler has with her partner. She's included some interesting info on training which makes the read all the more interesting. And, really, who can resist that intense border collie gaze on the front cover? That's Hank laser-focused on making sure you pick up the book and once you do, you won't be able to stop reading!
