This is a Second Chance Romantic Suspense, and this is the third book in the Canine Defense series. I listened to the audiobook for this book, and I enjoyed the audiobook for this book. I have not read the first two books in this series, but I will have to read them. I do think you can read this book as a standalone. I loved this story so much, and I really loved the characters in this book. There is a ton of suspense, action, and drama in this book. I really loved the ending, and there was a twist that I did not see coming. Great read. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
