Dale Mayer has outdone herself with this book. I really enjoyed Lucas. The characters were such strong and caring you couldnt help but love them. Action, loss, friendship and love this is a wonderful story everyone should read.
This book has all the feels.. Lucas loves dogs, and has a mission to save a retired war dog named Top Hat. Tanya and Lucas have a past history that didn’t end well.
Will saving Top Hat bring them back together, or put them in the friend zone.
I am always touched with the emotion Dale Mayer is able to bring out in me when I’m reading her books, and this series is one of my favourites.
Alpha male, romance, and dogs..what’s not to love 🙂
The books can be read as standalones, but seriously.. they are so good you should read all of them in order
I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book in this series.

I loved this story. Lucas is sent to Canada in search of Top Hat, one of the missing 12 War Dogs. His sister and her family live in Canada as well as his ex-girlfriend, Tanya. Lucas and Tanya still love each other but he wants a family and she doesn’t. She helped to raise her siblings and that was enough for her. As these two search for Top Hat, they work through their difficulties. The road through to their HEA though is filled with mystery and intrigue. Was Top Hat taken from the shelter for a life of dog-fighting, who can they trust, is what happened to her two girlfriends connected with the dog-fighting? There are so many questions that arise and have to be answered.
I loved the dual POV format. Getting a glimpse into the characters’ thought process, especially Tanya’s was very enlightening. It really helped to understand her and her choices so much better. I also loved the plot. The story just flew by and was one that kept me glued to my e-reader.
While you don’t have to read any of the prior books to enjoy this one, I would recommend it just because they are really great stories. I highly recommend.
This is book 5 of The K9 Files. Retired SEAL Lucas is given the assignment of locating Top Hat, a War Dog, decommissioned and now missing. I have read the four books leading up to this book and each one just gets better than the last. Lucas is a hero dealing with so many things, including an ex and the plot is strong, with many, many twists and turns. Another page turner (the norm for Dale Mayer) and some lost sleep to find out how the book ends (also a norm for this wonderful author). Bravo!!

Another instalment if the wonderful K9 series. This time it’s Lucas. On his way to Canada to visit his sister and find the military dog Top Hat. His ex lives there but she is dealing with their own tragedy with one friend dead and the other in a coma. As she joins Lucas in his hunt it’s clear that all is not what it seems as police, businessmen and a dog rescue centre get involved in a dogfighting ring. Will Lucas be able to keep Tanya safe and find Top Hat whilst dealing with shooters and bad guys? As usual I loved this book. It seems that badger and co have an infinity to matchmaking as much as Mason and co. Loved all the characters and I will admit to shouting at the book when things went awry. I can’t wait for Parker’s book.
