Sophie Walters is one of those people that love her job. Luke Hathaway just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Right from the start the author grabs the readers attention that it may make it a little difficult to put down. A lot of work went into making this story seem so realistic. It was nice to see our couple build something over time instead of being one of the insta-love tropes.

I liked how our author created a mystery that’s not directly related to either main character. The mystery indirectly touches one, which also affects the other. But we need them in order to solve said mystery. Loved the suspense that helped me turn the page with anticipation. I kept looking for what was going to come around the next corner. However, I did expect to see more of Luke’s partner. And that was my one disappointment - I wanted more dog time. I’ll just have to plan on some cuddle time going forward. I do understand that there’s only so much that these dogs can do when it comes to their job. And I can always watch one of my favorite shows, North Woods Law.

This was a book of several firsts for me. This was my first Love Inspired Suspense book. This was the first book that I’ve read by this author. And of course this is the first book in a new series. Having all the books in the series being written by different authors may also mean more new authors for me.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
