Sergeant Luke Jordan and his squad of K9 handlers have successfully routed out so many enemy combatants that he’s become known throughout his military police unit as Sergeant Fang. When he and his dog, Hellion, travel home to Texas for Christmas, they’re looking forward to two weeks of well-earned and uninterrupted rest. They didn’t count on arriving home to the news headline of, Missing Child. … Child. All volunteers needed ASAP. However, he understands how important it is to find a missing person during the first twenty-four hours, so he and Hellion report to duty instead of vacation.
Coco Winslet has always loved animals and always dreamed of helping others, so it’s no surprise to anyone when the young veterinarian starts her own volunteer K9 search and rescue team after hours. They’ve been training for months to prepare for their first real mission. When Davy Henderson goes missing on the last day of school before winter break, she can’t refuse the call for volunteers — even though she’s supposed to be on a plane home to California.
Though Luke is impressed by the commitment of Coco’s volunteers during the holidays, he worries about their lack of experience in the first crisis they encounter together. Meanwhile, Coco is so busy trying to prove her team is up to the task, that she takes an unnecessary risk…or two.
He finds himself juggling two teams who’ve never worked together, mounting dangers, and a growing attraction to a very determined young woman as they race to solve this latest amber alert before it’s too late.

Jo Grafford has written a romance, crime and search & rescue story all combined in one. The romance ends in a happily ever after, but you will have to wait until the next book to solve the crime. Having read the books out of order I highly recommend you go to the next book when you finish this one. Both are very good, not long, perhaps just right.
This is a great read by a great author!
An excellent story of a returning military rescue leader and his k9 companion. They join a search and rescue mission that involves a lot of drama and suspense as the true facts emerge. Well written page turner, my only complaint, it was too short. Don’t mistake what is true everything for a well developed story is there.
I really liked this story, especially because of the suspense and tension involved! It wasn’t just a “romance” but a romantic suspense story and the main characters were put into a situation where they had to figure out who was committing a crime. That element was especially intriguing and therefore, I read the book in one sitting! I couldn’t put it down! Luke is home on leave from Afghanistan with his military dog and they are in the airport, waiting for his parents to pick him up. He happens to run into Coco, a vet. At the same time, everyone’s phones go off alerting them to an Amber Alert for a missing child. Both Luke and Coco have been trained in search and rescue with dogs so they decide to go help find this missing child which turns into a whole lot more than the police originally think! I like how Luke and Coco work together. They’ve never met until this experience but they were a great couple. I highly recommend this story!
Luke and Coca meet at the airport. Before he knows it he’s helping to search for a missing boy. Not everything is as expected but their fast attraction is definitely a surprise. But what about their future?
This is a fun story with some unexpected events and a fun dog.
Another great read from Jo!! Hellion almost stole the show!! You’ve gotta love a guy who knows how to show his sweet side while still being all business! Definitely a must read!!
This is a short fast read that has drama, action, suspense and romance. Come join Sergeant Luke Jordan, his K-9 Hellion and Coco Winslet as they, and the rest of team search for a missing child.Once you start reading this book you can’t stop, you just have to know what happens next. I received a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
Whats a guy to do? He is a search and rescue solider coming home for the holiday. A kidnapping occurs and the beautiful girl next to him knows the child . This story is about finding the child and love at the same time. A fast enjoyable story.
This is the most action packed story I’ve read from Jo. I love that Luke is all macho but sweet at the same time. Swoony and heart racing.
