About this ebook

From award-winning author Sandra Owens comes the first book in a suspenseful new series full of adventure, sparks-flying romance and companionship between a Navy SEAL, a local artist, and their dogs.

Navy SEAL Jack Daniels (save the jokes, he’s heard them all) and his trusty Belgian Malinois sidekick, Dakota, are back home in Asheville, North Carolina, after a bomb left them scarred. Unable to accept that he’ll never be able to return to his team, Jack is looking for a miracle. What he isn’t looking for is a permanent relationship, though he’s open to a no-strings distraction at the magic hands of gorgeous local potter Nichole Masters.

Nichole is on a losing streak with men. Her ex-boyfriend won’t stay gone, a competitor is out to ruin her business and even her rescue pup, Rambo, is refusing to get in line. A chance run-in with a navy SEAL turned canine companion trainer might solve the dog problem. The fact Jack is easy on the eyes doesn’t hurt, either.

But when Nichole feels like she’s being watched, Jack is the only person she can turn to. He’s a protector and problem solver by nature and training. Accepting his protection is one thing—Nichole didn’t count on falling in love.

"With realistic characters, witty banter, a well-written storyline, and a bit of action thrown in, Keeping Guard will draw readers in from the first page until the last." —Harlequin Junkie

Ratings and reviews

This story is the first one in this author’s new series. Jack Daniels is a Navy SEAL who was badly injured and burned in his last mission when an IED exploded near him. His K-9 dog saved his life, but was also injured. Once Jack returned home to heal, he was finally able to get his retired dog Dakota as well. One night he gets a call meant for someone else, but the voice of the woman woke up something in him . When he finds Nichole Masters, a potter, he’s smitten. But he is returning to his team and his past experience in love leaves no space for a permanent relationship. A plan to keep it light was agreed upon, neither expecting for deep feelings to develop. But things come to an abrupt stop when Jack receives devastating news and his life spins out of control. Add to that an ex abusive boyfriend, a man-child of a brother, and a vicious competitor threaten Nichole and you know you have a story that will keep you wondering what will happen next.. It was a good beginning to the series. You’ll have a few laughs with Jack’s grandmother and her friends and who doesn’t love a story with dogs. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Carina Press. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Loved this book! This is a great start to a new series that already has me looking forward to the next book in the series. Jack is a SEAL recovering from a debilitating injury when he meets Nichole, a potter and new puppy mom. Her puppy is somewhat behaviorally challenged, and Jacks offers to help when he rescues her from the puppy running circles around her. I loved how Nichole and Jack's relationship developed - it was sweet, fun, and sexy. Their story was engaging and entertaining. The author tackled a tough topic with sensitivity and respect. I only pray that our injured military get the benefit of the trained K-9s they need. If you are a fan of the genre, you will love this book. While it is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Whats the point of rating something i didnt read or purchase .
