For wealthy socialite Katrina Vandenburg, business meetings and charity galas are all part of her orderly, structured world—one that gets blown to hell after finding two dead bodies in the same day. The police think she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. FBI Special Agent Dayne Andrews thinks otherwise. Dayne and his K-9, Remy, are tracking a cold-blooded killer, and that trail...leads straight to Kat.

Kat and her rescue shelter—the Canine Haven—are the only common denominators between the murders, and Dayne is convinced she’s dead center in the killer’s sights. Protecting her will test every ounce of his steely resolve. She’s the most intriguing woman he’s ever met. And everything he shouldn’t want. Too bad neither of them seem to have gotten the memo.

And they need to focus on catching a killer now more than ever. Because if Dayne and Remy fail in their mission, nothing will stand between Kat and the killer’s deadly blade.


My rating:

Socialite Katrina Vandenburg is simply trying to return a lost puppy, when she stumbles onto a dead body; the puppy's owner. Because the dead woman used to be an FBI agent, the Feds get involved—namely Special Agent Dayne Andrews, who didn't exactly leave a nice impression the first time he and Kat met.

Dayne doesn't particularly like rich people—he's been burnt before—but there's something about Kat that draws him in despite his better intentions. Then, she's attacked at her animal shelter, while stumbling onto yet another body, and Dayne's spidey senses start tingling...


I'm rather disappointed this turned out to ber yet another average addition to this, rather average, series. I was expecting more solely on that brief glimpse of "possibility" between Kat and Dayne at the end of the last book.

In the end, the two had too much baggage for the romance to really blossom and shine (I didn't feel the sparkage between them), the suspense also turned out to be rather predictable (as to what the killer was looking for and where it was hidden) and quite mediocre in the killer department, because I didn't get his motive. He was nuts. The end.

The only saving grace this pitiful excuse for a suspense romance novel were the two canines, Remy and Angus. I wouldn't mind reading more about them.
