This is a Second Chance Romantic Suspense, and this is the 14th book in the K-9 Search and Rescue series. I have read some of the other books in this series before picking up this book. I do think you can read this book as a standalone without any problems. I listened to the audiobook for this book, and I really enjoyed the audiobook. This book was full of drama and action/suspense. I really loved the characters in this book, and the dog was my favorite. There were some really cute moments in this book as well. Wow...the twist in this book was so great and I really did not see it 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.

Lily Peterson is on a run with her dog, Timber, when they stumble across a dead body. Lily is alone if not for Timber, as she lost her fiancé, Matt, a year ago. Timber was Matt’s K-9 partner and was injured when Matt lost his life. While Lily is prepared to make a call to report her finding, she is attacked by a man in the woods. That is when she makes the quick decision to call Travis Beckett, Matt’s former partner.

Travis, having left the police force, promptly answers Lily’s call. Upon meeting, they both realize that the body’s discovery holds significant implications for the events of the previous year. Lily and Travis had dated in high school, and their reunion quickly rekindles their lingering feelings for each other. However, their attention is diverted to investigating the past to uncover the truth behind Lily and Timber’s findings.

As they delve deeper, Lily grapples with unanswered questions. She wonders if she’s emotionally safe or a danger now that she’s reconnected with Travis. This second chance romance for Lily and Travis forms part of a well-crafted story that balances suspense and reliance on faith. This book is perfect for a quick, one-sitting read. The audiobook version of this book was truly captivating, thanks to its excellent narration.

Many thanks to Love Inspired Suspense and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
