Staying away was harder than he thought … arrived. Considering this was one of the missing War Dogs that Titanium Corp was handling, Carter was happy to assist. Maybe even relieved as it gave him a reason to go where he’d been afraid to go before.
Walking into her partner’s office to find his dead body on the floor had sent Hailey down a nightmarish path that never seemed to end. Then it had started with Carter’s arrival. What else should she expect from the man who she’d always loved and who had rejected her time and time again. She’d hoped the attraction to him would have lessened by now, but it was even worse.
As the body count mounts, and the town takes sides, Hailey realizes that Carter was always the one to back her up, even when it meant he could die in this fight that’s gone to hell. Particularly when Carter finds the missing K9 dog, and his current owner is on the wrong side of the war …
Only Carter doesn’t care, knowing he’d always stand on the side of right, but maybe—if he was lucky this time—he wouldn’t be standing alone …

https://wwCarter never noticed or so it seemed his best friends sister. Of course, Hailey noticed him and once rejected well, she didn’t need him either.

Now wit Mazuka the War Dog missing and the Navy War Dog Dept wanting to know what happened to him. Carter heads to Montana to find a very special dog. Now he and Hailey are butting heads and people are dying and Hailey is right in the middle of it.

This was a really good read. The story will capture and hold your attention with a well crafted blend of danger, suspense, action, mystery, emotion and romance. Carter and Hailey are likable and engaging. The feelings and history between these two is complex as plenty of emotional baggage must be addressed and worked thorough.
This book in the K9 series focus on Carter who is sent to check on a K9 war dog who went missing from the airport and was never picked up. It just so happens it is in the same town where his best friend Gordon lives. Hailey has always had a crush on Carter, but he broke her heart when he got married. He is now divorced. Hailey is partner in a financial company but when murder comes knocking at her company’s door Carter is there to help. This book has all the drama and intrigue you could want. Highly recommend it. I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.

I get the suspense I like, the romance with the HEA. Her teasers at the end are perfect. I absolutely cannot wait for Weston’s story.

Pure entertainment. Carter, an ex SEAL who was severely wounded in the service agrees to help search for a War dog that was supposed to be retired, but never made it to the family. As luck would have it, his search is in Montana where his best friend Gordon and Gordon;s sister Hailey live. There is anger from Hailey and doodoo has hit the fan in this town. There are 3 deaths, and the town is run by one family, there way or the highway. All this while trying to find the War dog. A bit of angst, mystery, and our war dog. I thought the romance was just right. I really appreciate the opportunity to read this arc and freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions unsolicited.
While I’ve enjoyed this series, for some reason this story drew me in right from the start. Carter hasn’t been back to Montana since his accident as he stubbornly didn’t want to be a burden to anyone. Also, his wife left him while he was recovering. But when War Dog goes missing, Carter steps up to see if he can find Matzuka.
While his best friend Gordon is glad to see him, Hailey (Gordon’s sister) is less than thrilled and actually a little rude when he shows up at the ranch. Seems she’s had a thing for Carter since they were young and she feels as though he’s dissed her twice.
But then things take a deadly twist Hailey’s two partners commit suicide (or were they killed?), and Gordon and Hailey start having problems on the ranch. Are these situations connected? And if yes, who is behind what is going on? There are plenty of suspects to keep you guessing to the end.
And will Hailey and Carter get their happily ever after. There certainly plenty of chemistry between the two of them.
Carter is sent to Montana to find the War Dog Matzuka who was shipped to the Longfellow family but never arrived. No one knows where the dog ended up after arriving at the airport. Carter stays with his best friend Gordon and his sister Hailey. Hailey and her two partners own a finance company. First her partner Fred is murdered and left to look like a suicide. Then her partner Phil and his wife are found dead in their home. Is Hailey going to be the next victim? And who benefits. So while Carter still hunts down the dog he also helps Hailey find out who is behind the murders.

Carter accepts the task of finding the K9 Matzuka knowing he should have visited his best friend Gordon in Montana sooner. All is well between them but there is still quite a bit of animosity between Gordon’s sister Hailey and Carter. They’ve been like oil and water for years and this visit doesn’t appear to be any different.
Now the adopting family of the war dog said he never arrived but as Carter follows the trail that doesn’t seem to be true. The contact isn’t very forthcoming, but the person assigned to pick up the dog is withholding information.
Hailey is another matter, she was blindsided when she saw Carter, her brother didn’t say anything about him coming for a visit.
Unfortunately everything is about to go haywire as Hailey discovers one of her partners dead in his office. That’s just the beginning.
As the story unfolds, more death and more intrigue surrounds Hailey’s business. The Longfellow name keeps popping up and not in a good way.
The way Carter finds and retrieves Matzuka is priceless and this town is truly sitting on a powder keg.
Plenty of suspense, corruption, family drama and the beginnings of one renewed and one new romance.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series, the lead-in was perfect!
As Carter recovered from a disabling accident he stayed away from his home town in Montana where his best friend lived (plus his sister was there too). But when Geir and Cade from Titanium Corp ask him to try and locate a war dog that is missing he is happy to help and reconnect with his best friend too. When Hailey walks into her business partner’s office ad find him dead it starts a chain of events that never seem to end. Bizarrely it seems to coincide with Carter’s arrival (although it is clearly not connected) but it does add to her disquiet at seeing the man she has always loved but always been rejected by. As the body count increases and the town residents take sides, once again it is always Carter who has taken her side but he is now in danger after taking the missing K9 from someone on the other side. Carter knows he will always stand on the side that is right, now he also starts to hope against hope that he will not be standing alone. Can everything get resolved and they live to get a chance at the HEA they deserve?
This is a lovely story that had plenty of mystery, drama and danger mixed in with a little romance after they got past the sniping at each other (which became old quickly). It was nice to follow the mystery as to who was doing what and killing whom which will definitely register with anyone who has ever lived in a small town. Well written and easy to understand. There was no need to have read previous books in the series.
As soon as he arrives at the ranch to look for a missing War Dog sparks start flying between Carter and his best friend’s sister, Hailey. This story moves fast and things heat up between the two as they work together to figure out what is going on in the town and track down the missing dog.

I love this series, of course I’m here for the dogs.
Another ex military dog to find or rescue has ex navy SEAL Carter heading to his mate’s ranch.
There is way more going on than a missing dog. His friend’s sister all grown up, murders, shootings and plenty more action will have you turning pages fast trying to keep up.
Interesting story line and great characters, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Growing danger…Searching for a missing war dog gives Carter a reason to visit his best friend Gordon. Hailey is stunned to see Carter again. Hailey has kept Carter at arm’s length to keep him from knowing her feelings for him. When Hailey’s partner in their accounting firm is murdered, Carter’s financial background helps Hailey determine what is happening at the accounting firm. One shyster family might be tied to a lot of intimidating events occurring in town. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This book kept me guessing how this story would resolve until the very end of the book. I really like Hailey and Carter. Even though Hailey often ventures into dangerous situations, she keeps a cool head. Since Carter was formerly in Special Forces, he is very handy to have at hand as they face growing danger. Their second chance romance was also very believable. I love this suspenseful book.
Awesome!! This was an excellent read and it had me reading as fast as I could to find out who done it. The back story was well constructed and the primary and secondary characters were well fleshed out. I wanted to know them better but sadly as with all stories it had to come to an end. Sigh.
Hailey has been in love with Carter forever but he only saw her as his best friend ‘s little sister even getting married to someone else! Hailey is a partner in a three person accounting firm. When she goes to work after the weekend, she discovers the oldest partner dead. The sheriff checks on the other partner and find him and his wife shot dead. Very suspenseful.

Old childhood, first loves, best friends, marriage, divorce and war to name a few roadblocks along the way ensures a great fun filled story. This turns to shock, death, attempted murder to name a few. Carter and Hailey work together to create a future together getting over the past and to start a relationship together.
A fast pace book, a real page turner you don’t want to stop till all is explained but will it bring a happy ending for all? Family comes in all forms as seen here.

I didn’t think I could get attached to characters so quickly but this story did just that!
Carter has a tool belt attached to his hips and a pencil behind his ear as he helped his Navy friends with another reconstruction project. He is now missing a foot, has a badly injured arm and hand and his recovery from his injuries as a Navy Seal is going well despite his wife walking out on him when she saw him injured. Cade is worried about him and has a plan to get him started back in life. Cade knows his friend is missing his dogs (wife took them) and has stalled about visiting his long time friend on his ranch in Montana. Carter felt he would be a burden and it was easier to not go. So Cade has a proposition for Carter involving a missing K-9 named Matzuka, sent to Montana but not recovered from the airport and has been missing for 3 months.
So the story begins, adding his best friend in Montana has a sister who livens up the visit immediately with her less than friendly greeting then the next day finding one of her partners at work dead from a ‘apparent’ suicide which he accomplished with his non dominate hand creating suspicion. Kate (friend’s sister) works in an investment firm, Carter has a degree and experience in finance unknown to others. These things only begin to touch the complications.
The tale continues with 3 generations of “Longfellows” to muddy the waters. They apparently all but own the town and the youngest generation have created more than their fair share of havoc. With the ranch’s property lines being breached, people winding up injured and/or dead, possible sabotage in the company and the missing K-9, this story was fast paced and difficult to put down in a good way! I was happily up reading way past any decent bedtime!
The epilogue talks of Weston wanting to get in on the action. He just may do that with missing K-9 in Alaska. Shambhala is blind in one eye, limps and loves to listen to music. Weston has connections to family there too, I can’t wait to hear more.
Carter is heading to Montana to find retired war dog Matzuka. There are some suspicious details surrounding the missing dog, and the family that was to have adopted him.
Hailey is Gordon’s sister, and she and Carter have been bickering back and forth for what feels like forever.
So much is going on in the book, and it all seems random until everything starts to come together. This might just be my favourite in this series.
I fall in love with each of the dogs, and Matzuka is pretty amazing. What a great story this was.
