My Review

I have read many books by this author and my favorite are her stories that involve dogs! This was a fast pace, riveting romantic suspense story with likeable characters and working k9.

Garrett and his k9 companion are in charge of protecting Catherine and her sister against an escaped killer. Lots of twists and turns along the way will keep you engaged and not ready for this story to end.

I really enjoyed reading it and highly recommend this easy to read, clean Love Inspired Suspense book!

More from Dana

After dreaming up Wally, the supremely naughty bloodhound, in book one of the Security Hounds series, I didn’t think the next fictional dog could possibly compete in the personality department. Surprise! Pinkerton, the stalwart bloodhound companion to Garrett Wolfe, scrambled onto the scene and into my heart. His faithful dedication and selflessness make up for the streams of slobber he leaves everywhere. He’s also instrumental in solving the latest case complete with twists, turns, and an ending you won’t see coming. (I hope!)

Enjoy this next installment in the series and look out for more bloodhounds in the next three books!

Are you trying Intermittent Fasting this week? ⏱️❓

Intermittent Fasting occurs when you eat within a specific window of time. Experiment with different time periods to see what suits you best. I like to fast 9:15 (eating between 10am and 7pm) or 10:14 depending on my work schedule.

⏱️Intermittent Fasting’s benefits include:
**Improved hormone profile – this is particularly important for women who experience high levels of stress
**Increased life expectancy
**Maintenance of skeletal muscle mass – muscle mass is directly related to your metabolic rate. The more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism will be.
**Decreased blood glucose levels
**Boosted immune system
**Decreased insulin levels and increased insulin sensitivity – this has a direct impact on your metabolic rate
**Increased lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) and fat oxidation – Intermittent Fasting turns your body into a fat burner
**Increased uncoupling protein-3 mRNA – this is important for the production of energy inside the cell
**Increased norepinephrine and epinephrine levels – this leads to an increase in fat breakdown
⏱️You want to be satisfied and not hungry during your eating window. Eat nutrient rich foods and drink plenty of water.

MY REVIEW

I love reading Love Inspired Suspense books because they are suspenseful, on the edge of my seat, CLEAN action, mystery and romance!

This story had twists and turns as Charlotte and Austin once again find themselves trying to follow the clues and catch the serial killer before he strikes again in Presque, Louisiana. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and how well they worked together in this story. Since this case was very personal to both of them, they found themselves relying on each other and their faith to get them thru.

Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend this fast paced, clean suspense book!
