suspenseful but continues

I liked the story but was a bit disappointed in the ending. I was hoping for more. I will probably buy one more in this series to see how it all ends.

Sweet romance with fast paced action

Nothing I like better than a book that focuses on crack FBI K-9 team. In Guardian Terri Reed introduces us to such a team. I'm not sure who I liked better the human characters or the dogs! What a team! The action in this story was also top notch; capturing my attention from the first line to the last.
The romance was sweet though I prefer my romance with a little more spice! This romance reminded me of those old movies that faded to a breeze gently blowing through an open window just when it got good! However , Terri Reed writes with a definite Christian, abstinence before marriage bent so the sweet,chaste affection is understandable. The Christian undertones are just that - light undertones. Prayers for safety and protection that fit with the suspense of the story. Very relatable!
I did tire of the main character Leo's constant protestations that he was not worthy of Alisha, especially since everything about him screamed he had faith in God's leadership in his life. So why was it so hard to accept that God had led him to his soul-mate?
The voice performance was just perfect for this selection. Callie's voice changes allowed enough distinction between characters, you could easily tell which person was speaking . The pace and tone of her reading clearly added to the suspense and tension in the action scenes. Very well done! It was like sitting in a performance of a live readers theater!
Overall it was a very good audio book selection. I am looking forward to more from this series!

This was a very “nice” story. It was a mystery of sorts.

Though it wasn’t a who fone it it was a where is he? The chemistry between the main characters and for once the heroine does not do what she has been told not to do which puts her in danger. No unnecessary sexual content. Just a good suspense drama.

Christian aspect

Christian aspect is what I appreciate the most. I have also listened to other similar series. The quick to marry in them pushes the envelope. I think in a series it can spread across the books. Overall I still enjoy the story lines. the first sentence is all I wanted to say but you require fifteen words.

I LOVED this audiobook.

Exciting from the first paragraph. Interest and story never lagged. The writer writes in word pictures. Ofcourse the dog is wonderful and adds another element of interest.
I learned a lot from this book.

I loved it

Story great characters great dogs great
Now whare are the cats?
Nevermind it’s a little to sappy for my taste
But no curses so
I would recommend this to anyone
Well maybe not little little kids
But if thay have watched star wars
Or hunger games then this will be great
