Emotions and suspense both run high in this one of a kind romantic suspense. The intricately crafted plot draws readers deep into the complex world that the author has created. McCoy drops bits of scenery into everything that happens, until readers can picture the entire world. Even though this title is from Harlequin’s Love Inspired line & you can easily see the presence of God in the lives of the characters, McCoy doesn’t go over the top with it, nor does she try to hide it. It’s the perfect balance for all readers. It also adds sweetness to the romance itself. This story is about falling in love, the real, lasting kind, not about falling in lust. I found that the working canine aspect added a great deal to the tale. It took the concept of law enforcement hero to a whole new level. This made the already loveable male lead into a man with even greater depth. His caring and compassion for others was backed up by the aura of competence and reassurance brought by an officer of the law. Combined with a female lead who’s had a difficult life and an even more difficult few days and you have a couple who will turn heads. I loved the strength of character in the female lead.
