Exciting Action, Adventure, Romance
This story has it all! A great, mountain-based suspenseful story, Army Ranger and Navy SEAL, and a killer, former military working German Shepherd. The plot is just great with plenty of twists and bad guys. I had no clue when the final reveal came about, and I read a lot of mysteries. I loved the dog, especially the interesting commands he had been taught. This book is the prequel to the Hearts of Valor series. I am so glad that I bought this book and I would do it again!
3.5, actually. A good book to start off my summer reading kick. This is the first book that I’ve read by Ms Brown. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’d had this one sitting in my Nook for a while and decided to give it a shot. It’s a fast-paced story with plenty of action. There’s not over the top drama, but enough to keep things interesting.
Garrett is home after his fourth deployment where he and Cowboy, his military canine, were both injured and are on medical leave. While looking for something in his father’s office, he discovers a letter from his Aunt Peg. A letter that his father had obviously been keeping from Garrett and his brother, Luke. Garrett sets off to find out the truth about his mother. He had always been told, by his father, that she deserted them and was a drug addict. Garrett has been carrying the obvious effects of this desertion since the age of five. His mother has died and now there’s only her sister, Aunt Peg, who can unlock some of the family secrets. Garrett’s father is very much opposed to him seeking answers. I wonder why?
Once at his destination, Garrett immediately comes into contact with Rachel, a bartender at his aunt’s bar who is having some difficulties of her own from some of the locals. Garrett comes to her rescue and Rachel is impressed until she finds out exactly who he is. She can never forgive him for deserting his mother in her time of need. Hmmm, remember, there are always two sides to every story.
From there, the book follows two plot lines that Ms Brown weaves together wonderfully. This is a quick read, entertaining, and at times, humorous. I have to say, I didn’t see that one coming at the end! I’ll definitely be checking out some of Ms Brown’s other books.
