I really love this series. It is set in a small town in Colorado. It has a dog as the third main character (after the hero and heroine of the story). It also has women who are running from something in their past. They create a new life under a different name in Monroe, Colorado. The characters in this series are just great. I’ve really enjoyed meeting every new couple and have really enjoyed the kids from the first book, who continue to have a decent size part in each book.

So, in this story, Alice has a brother who is just evil. She finally gets some help to escape him (and the evil guy that he wants to marry her off to) and finds herself living with Jules and Grace and the kids. She is now going by Sarah. She has not a lot of background in anything, since her brother kept her under lock and key. She has learned a few things from the staff that weren’t horrible to her.

Otto is another one of the cops on the police force in Monroe. He was part of the K-9 unit too, but his dog is retired and just living at home. Otto is hoping to get budget to get another dog for a partner, but it just isn’t in the cards just yet. Meanwhile, he’s working with a pitbull at a rescue. Otto seems to be a collector of animals that have had a difficult life. We first meet some puppies that lost their mom a few days after birth. Then we meet his old cat and retired dog. He also has a off-the-track thoroughbred and a goat.

I don’t want to go too much into the suspense of the story. I will just say that Alice/Sarah’s brother and his goons are pretty evil and they are evil with a large budget. I do feel that you have to suspend a bit of disbelief in what they go through to get back one woman, but hey, this is fiction and I’ve seen stranger things in movies. I was also not completely convinced with how the horse acted in a few places. As an owner of an off-the-track thoroughbred (and I’ve been around and ridden several others over the years), but hey, every horse is different.

I do want to say how much I enjoy these characters. Not only Alice/Sarah and Otto, but also all the previous characters in this series. As the cast continues to grow, I just love them all the more. The secondary characters who don’t partner up are just good people that I like reading about. The animals are also characters in and of themselves.

If you like Romantic Suspense with likeable characters and animals, this is a great series. There is a ton of action and the romance in strong. The dogs will win your heart, almost more than the hero and heroine (but then I’ve always like animals more than people LOL).

Callie Beaulieu continues to do a great job with the narration of this series. I think she is really good and making you feel the emotions of each character, no matter what is going on at the time. It can be romance or action and Callie has it covered. I do enjoy both her male and female characters. I highly recommend her if you get a chance to give her a try.
