As soon as Hunt recovers from his latest combat injury, he resumes his search for his missing comrade. He never imagined his search would land him in a temporary instructor position at an elite search and rescue training center.

So what if she’s the rich and famous co-star in a blockbuster movie that’s still selling? To prove she’s truly retired from show biz, she applies for a slot at the prestigious Disaster City Search and Rescue Academy, determined to make a difference one missing child at a time.
When a shocking abduction rocks the town, Hunt finds himself fighting a sizzling attraction to Dallas in a race against the clock to bring a mystery child home.

This is my new favourite of the series!
So many great characters in this book, I loved Hunt and Dallas but also PoPo, Haliburton, Sanchez, Tracey…this book focused far more on the team of recruits in training and it gave a new perspective but also added to the entertainment, the different personalities and the atmosphere within the book. A fantastic read on Kindle Unlimited.
The Secret Baby Rescue is a little different story than the other Disaster City Rescue books I have read by Jo Grafford. This one is showing behind the scenes of the training that the men and women go through to become search and rescue K-9 handlers. And not just the men and women but how they train a dog to become a K-9 hero. This particular story is following purple heart recipient Hunt Ryker that was forced to leave the Marines due to his injuries and has became the newest instructor at Disaster City. Two of the Marines in his life were considered dead but never found. One was his brother-in-law. He is on a mission to find them which causes trouble for the safety of their families. Hunter also finds out that one of his students is none other than the actress Dallas Hill that shared the hot kiss with him on his welcome home parade float they rode. He has never forgot that kiss and neither has she, but must keep it secret and distance themselves to stay at Disaster City. All they have to do is keep the secret till she graduates in 20 days, if that is possible.
Enjoyed Dallas and Hunts story. Dallas a Hollywood Actress turns Police Woman and Search and Rescue Candidate. Hunt a War Hero turns Search and Rescue Instructor. I read this in 2 sittings. If you like clean stories with second chances, you will enjoy ‘The Secret Baby Rescue’. I highly recommend. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.
As with all her rescue, it was great. I always enjoy all characters and this one was just as good. Another great page turner that kept me wanting more..
Hunt’s story is so real it’s as if you can just imagine how it’s happening in your head. The details you share in each book you write is absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t put this story down for a second it was so fantastic and I love this series.
Dallas and Hunt are two wonderful and strong characters and I’m glad to see how they grow throughout the book. Excellent job!
Wounded in body and spirit, Hunt Ryker was released from military service with a purple heart, long before he wanted to be. He just had to figure where his life would go. Luckily he ended up working for the Disaster City Search and Rescue. The only negative was they hooked him in as an instructor rather than being on the front lines… like he had been in the war.
An actress, Dallas Hill had decided she want to do something more with her life. So she went through training at the Police Academy and then to the DSCSA. None other than Hunt ended up as her instructor and the attraction ignites! They had briefly met before…. oh yes and it was fate it seemed that brought them back together!
Then the adventure begins. Action, a mystery, a little suspense and an exciting couple made for each other!! But,
PoPo had my heart. What’s better than a killer cocker spaniel? Oh well, that would be Hunt…
I can see why Dallas would have a hard time getting others to take her seriously, gorgeous, smart and giving up a Hollywood life style. Hunt Ryker has been to hell and back recovering from injuries in Afghanistan plus he has a cocker spaniel named PoPo for a SAR dog. Jo Grafford puts more than a few surprises in this book. I can’t wait to hopefully get some answers in the next one.
A sweet read that will keep you reading in one setting to see what will happen from one kiss at a parade for a War Veteran.
I REALLY ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK! It is truly amazing what good work the rescue workers and their dogs do! I recommend this book to anyone who loves stories of rescue with a little romance thrown in for good measure!
A damaged war hero. A movie star who isn’t taken seriously. What’s not to love??!! Another fabulous book in this series! I enjoy seeing how these men and women get trained to search and rescue the most vulnerable and in this case, it’s a baby. Hunt has been seriously injured in Afghanistan and has been in the hospital for months. He’s finally coming home and to his shock, receives the Purple Heart. He doesn’t like this one bit! But, during the parade, he meets Dallas, a famous movie star and she orchestrates a sizzling kiss for the audience. He doesn’t think he’ll see her again but he’s wrong! However, he’s able to secure a position as an instructor at the Disaster City Search and Rescue center which gives him a purpose. Who does he see as one of the recruits but Dallas! She gave up Hollywood and became a police officer! I loved the chemistry between Hunt and Dallas. They were a great couple and even followed the rules of no dating during the session! The rescue of the baby was great!
Loved Hunt and Dallas’s story!! Hunt’s a great guy, and Dallas is more than a pretty face. From the moment they meet, neither can forget the other. Hunt has to figure out where his life is going (he thinks) before he can even think about asking Dallas out. Dallas leaves her “glamorous” life behind to truly help people. When they meet again, they still aren’t free to date, but boy can they flirt!! When they do finally get together, watch out!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.
