About this ebook

Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston is as tough as they come, and he and his K-9, Saxon, are hot on the trail of a major illegal gun dealer. But his best lead—the beautiful owner of the Dog Park Café, Andi Hardt––is not cooperating. Doesn't matter how sexy she is or that his dog seems to be in love with her. She’s a suspect, and he won’t cross that line. Ever.

Andi Hardt sank everything into her dream business—the Dog Park Café, a restaurant catering to dogs as much as people. Now everything is in jeopardy because of one extremely frustrating, incredibly hot state trooper. Like it or not, she’s in Nick’s crosshairs, and he’s calling the shots. Her only option: cooperate, or lose everything she’s worked so hard for.

Nick and Andi are catapulted straight into the danger zone, forcing them to make life-altering choices and face their desires. Risking his life for Andi is the easy part. Risking his heart is the toughest assignment Nick will face.

Readers can’t help but become completely enthralled with the story as the fast pace and thrilling suspense keeps readers hanging on to every word throughout Nick’s toughest assignment he’s had to face during his career. This story also has some delightful and charming interactions between the canines of the story further entertaining readers and the author does a great job of making her story convincing and lifelike so readers can easily imagine each and every scene as it happens during this spirited, entertaining and absorbing romance.

This book captivated me from the heartfelt dedication through every single page, I could not get enough of this story. Andi is staying at a friends house while the plumbing at her place is being repaired. She's in the wrong place at the wrong time when the state police led by Sgt Nick Houston, serve a warrant to search the house. Nick is pretty hostile during his initial meeting with Andi, who is in the shower in her bikini bathing her dog. Nick's K-9 partner is Saxon, responds to commands given in German and they are a team. You can sense that from just reading the book. Nick is the head of a task force that stars Andi's friend who is wanted for arms sale and money laundering. The friend has ghosted, leaving Andi to fend for herself and even when she's incriminated, she is undaunted and maintains her innocence. Andi owns the coffee/dog cafe on the outskirts of town. The business is doing well, but the Feds have frozen her assets and now she's got Nick working with her as a bartender. All part of a plan to lure her friend back and into custody. When Andi's almost kidnapped things escalate as does the relationship between Nick and Andi. I loved these two together and Nick know she was innocent, but her needed to stay close as her life was in danger, they were waiting for Joe to make contact and still unsure who the boss of this mess was. Andi's backstory was painful, as was Nick's and both had to overcome their own issues while trying not the let it erode what they have so far achieved. This story has just the right amount of suspense and romance and the as always bring so much to the story. I loved book 1, if you haven't go back and read that one too. Thank you Tee for this amazing read! *arc from NetGalley and Publisher for an honest review*

Armed 'N' Deadly was an enjoyable story. That started off great and kept me engaged throughout. Thanks to moments of suspense, a little mystery, and some really likable characters. But to be honest there was more romance than suspense. Although the final confrontation between Nick, Andi, his colleagues and the guilty party did partly make up for that. And I did really like this group of characters and would certainly read more about them in the future. I would also happily recommend this story to others. **I was kindly provided with an ARC via Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review**
