I’m always looking for fresh ways to entertain readers. The notion of mixing Romance and Suspense is a natural. After all, the most suspenseful times in a relationship is the period when two people are trying to figure out if they should be a “we.” Sweaty palms, anxious glances, great highs, and long dark nights of soul-searching are romance standards whether historical, contemporary, sweet, erotic, or inspiring. Add in a very real threat to the lovers’ lives and the story goes into overdrive. But it’s been done. How to add a twist?
Who doesn’t love dogs? The K-9 Rescue Series showcases highly skilled, intelligent, and amazing K9s of First Responder and Service fame. Meet my canine heroes and heroines of the K-9 Rescue Series.

2. BOGART is a Belgian Malinois from IRRESISTIBLE FORCE who gets the girl first. Prince Charming isn’t just a nickname but an attitude for this Police K-9. While handler Officer James Canon is more than a pretty face, Bogart give him plenty of competition for Shay Appleton’s heart when someone begins stalking her, and threatening her life.



they sniff around each. When their handlers, DEA Agent Scott Lucca and Officer Cole Jamison go undercover together, the fur and the sparks fly.
4. Coming soon, SAMANTHA the Golden Doodle PTSD service dog in the upcoming PRIMAL FORCE. It’s a case of “Cutie and Beast” when “Sam” plays cupid between wounded veteran Lauray Battise and K9 Trainer Jori Garrison.
WHEN ADRENALINE RUNS HIGH, SO DOES THE FORCE OF DESIRE...
For Shay Appleton, it's love at first sight when a gorgeous stray dog is brought into the animal shelter where she works. She knows he'll make a terrific watch dog - and with an abusive ex who won't let go, she needs all the protection she can get. But Shay never suspected that her new pet is actually a trained police K-9 named Bogart - until Bogart's even more gorgeous, human partner shows up on her doorstep.
IRRESISTIBLE FORCE
Officer James Cannon is one tall, strong alpha male who's convinced that Shay stole his dog. But once he gets closer to the suspect, he realizes that this stubborn, independent woman not only needs a guard dog, she needs James as well. It seems that someone from her past is stalking her and threatening her life. When danger meets desire, will James rish his career and his best friend...to protect the woman who's stolen his heart?

Wow, this book looks good. Love the cover. Big fan of dogs. I have 2, one is a Mastiff and she is 10 years old and a Pitbull- he is about 5 years old. I love police dogs and K-9 units. I love German Shepherds, they are loyal and beautiful dogs.

Hi Chrisbails,
DeleteWow. You have major dogs. It takes a lot of work to keep large animals in good condition. I'm sure that helps you, too, with all the walking and so forth. Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy the series. D. D.
Ooh, this sounds like an awesome series!
