Sergeant Tyson Wilkes is determined to protect his Rocky Mountain K-9 unit -- especially against an unknown assailant with a taste for explosives.

Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit

My Review:

I absolutely love this series and am wavering between excited and in the depths of despair over its looming conclusion. Excited because we will finally get closure on the over-arcing series suspense (and my brain is in overdrive imagining all kinds of plausible scenarios) and despair because I don't want the fun to be over. Such a bibliophile quandary!

'Explosive Revenge' is the seventh (and second last) book in the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit continuity series but don't be alarmed, it can easily be read as a standalone. While all the books in the series share a common suspense thread, each book has it's own suspense and romance plot as well. The series' suspense is gradually building to a conclusion, but each book solves its own unique mystery and, of course, delivers a happily-ever-after for our investigating couple. Plus the authors do a great job of delivering details on the over-arcing suspense developments in a way that is both a gentle reminder for series fans and a casual update for newbies. Makes for satisfying reading all the way around. :-)

Have to say Echo, K-9 extraordinaire, stole my heart and grabbed my attention with every head tilt, ear flop and probing stare. Black knows how to write 'dog' and I might have swooned more over Echo than Tyson (rabid dog lover that I am.)

I was excited to get Tyson's story since he's been in the background throughout the series, directing his team while struggling with works of sabotage within their facility. He's been operating on the mistaken idea that being a leader means fixing everything for everybody. Loved his personal journey which has him realizing that letting go of control and accepting assistance from both his team and Detective Skylar Morgan will not only lead to better results, but set him free in so many ways. But, oh my, what a journey that is!

Then we have Skylar, succeeding in what still might be considered a man's world, and maybe over compensating sometimes because of that. She's ready for Tyson to try and wrestle control of her case from her, but he keeps surprising her which leaves her discombobulated. Great dynamics between these two that leads to the kind of taut romantical frisson that kept me engaged.

Awesome suspense, with a nice mix of investigative work and action added to the page-turning-ness of this read. Cannot wait until 'Rescue Mission' by Lynette Eason releases later this month!

Oh -- and I listened to the audible edtion of this book narrated by Kelli Tager who did an excellent job of bringing these characters to life. Absolutely ecstatic (and that's putting it mildly) that this series is available in audio format.
