About this eBook

In this romantic suspense adventure, a Florida detective’s search for missing dogs leads to a deadly conspiracy—and a sexy search & rescue expert.

Macayla Burkett is no ordinary private eye. She’s a pet detective, dedicated to tracking down missing dogs and cats. When two famous racing greyhounds disappear and turn up dead, Macayla finds herself in the midst of a much more serious case. And when the thieves target her and threaten her life, she realizes she’s in grave danger—until a ridiculously handsome stranger enters the picture . . .

Oliver Kelly may look like a male stripper, but his muscles aren’t just for show. The gorgeous Australian is co-owner of a K-9 Search and Rescue service dedicated to saving those in danger. When he and his K-9 partner, an Australian shepherd named Jackeroo, rescue the fiery detective from trouble, the sparks begin to fly. And when they join forces to stop a widespread case of animal theft, it unleashes a torrent of passion that’s impossible to tame . . .

Ratings and reviews

Loved! Another winner in the K-9 Rescue series! This book introduces us to Macayla, a pet detective who has run away from her life and barely getting by finding lost pets. Oliver finds her scrounging around a dumpster and immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion and offers to buy her breakfast. She thinks he's a stripper and isn't interested. Instant and totally wrong impressions lead to some interesting and entertaining interplays between them. Oliver is actually a partner in BARKS, a canine search and rescue company. Macayla is actually a social worker with a much lauded history.....until it's used against her. Oliver tries to help her and ends up in the thick of things. This is a wonderful book that fans of the genre will love. I particularly enjoyed the insight into SAR dogs and the bond between handler and dog. This in another winner in a series of winners. While it is part o f a series, it is a stand alone novel - however, it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

I enjoyed this one! It's a bit different and slightly silly at times but it was very entertaining. Macayla Burkett is working as a pet detective. What exactly is a pet detective you ask? She spends her days looking for lost pets and returning them to their owners. While searching for missing greyhounds, she witnesses a violent incident. She doesn't realize how much trouble she's stumbled upon until she finds herself as a target. Oliver Kelly is a world renowned SAR specialist. When he first sees Macayla digging through the dumpster he assumes she's hungry and offers to buy her breakfast. The reality is she's trying to coax a pup out into the open. Macayla takes one look at Oliver and assumes he's a male stripper. And this is how their fun and crazy relationship starts. It's all fun until they both realize that Macayla is in danger. I have to admit being from Tampa it was fun reading about all the places around the area. Still the story itself was entertaining and I would recommend this one.

Aussie K9 search and rescue and a female pet detective- great combination for the next book in the series. Enjoyed with suspense and setting from the first page. Recommend this series and author. Ebook from net galley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own
