Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston is as tough as they come, and he and his K-9, Saxon, are hot on the trail of a major illegal gun dealer. But his best lead—the beautiful owner of the Dog Park Café, Andi Hardt—is not cooperating. Doesn't matter how sexy she is, or that his dog seems to be in love with her. She's a suspect and he won't cross that line. Ever.
Andi Hardt sank everything into her dream business—the Dog Park Café, a restaurant catering to dogs as much as people. Now everything is in jeopardy because of one extremely frustrating, incredibly hot state trooper. Like it or not, she's in Nick's crosshairs, and he's calling the shots. Her only option: cooperate, or lose everything she's worked so hard for.
Nick and Andi are catapulted straight into the danger zone, forcing them to make life-altering choices, and face their desires. Risking his life for Andi is the easy part. Risking his heart is the toughest assignment Nick will face.
My rating:
The cops and feds decide to serve a warrant to her ex and best friend just when Andi's house-sitting and showering her dog in nothing but a skimpy bikini...Oh, and she's also a suspect as a supposed accomplice to money laundering for a gun-trafficking gang. And for her to prove she's innocent, she has to cooperate by letting the Massachusetts State Trooper that found her in the shower in the skimpy bikini work undercover as the bartender in her doggy-human restaurant...Oh, joy...
It worked a little better than the first book in this series mostly because neither MC was annoying and the story flowed much more naturally and smoothly. It was also shorter, though I wouldn't have minded it someone shaved a few pages off it.
Both Andi and Nick had baggage (he was bent on revenge, she had trust issues), but it was lovely reading how they smoothed each other's edges on their issues and moved on from the hangups of their pasts. Their romance was sweet, while also explosively hot, and though I understood the conflict toward the end, it could've been dealt with more quickly and without the near-death experience.
Nick's K-9, Saxon, and Andi's stray, Stray, were wonderful in their supporting roles, it was nice seeing all of Nick's friends again and catching up with Matt and Trista. The suspense worked well, especially the hunt for the mysterious mastermind behind the gun-trafficking—now that was certainly a pleasant surprise.
Still, I cannot give this one more than three stars. It was quite a pleasant read, but it certainly didn't blew me away.
