I really liked this book. I have been wanting to read Katie Ruggle for a while and since this was the beginning of a new series, I thought that this would be a good place to start. The fact that this is a series about a K9 unit also really appealed to me since I am a huge dog lover. I was hooked to the story pretty much right away and was really wondering how everything would work out. This was a really exciting read that kept me guessing until the very end.

Theo was hard to figure out at first. He really seemed to come across as closed off and almost rude. He has been through a lot recently. His K9 partner died of cancer and his fellow officer also died. He has a new K9 partner, Viggy, who had previously worked with the officer that died. Both Viggy and Theo are having a very hard time adjusting to the change and they are both deep in grief.

Jules whisked her 4 siblings off to safety and needs to stay under the radar. She has moved into a local home in need of a lot of repairs and has taken a job at the local diner. She really just wants to keep her younger brothers and sister safe and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. She does live with the constant fear that they will be discovered.

I liked Jules and Theo together a lot. They really seemed to compliment each other perfectly. This is a very slow moving romance and I thought that they relationship built at a realistic pace. The build up between the pair was wonderfully done and I was so happy when they finally came together. Theo just fit in with Jules and her siblings perfectly even with all of his grumpiness.

There were a few issues that I felt like Jules and Theo really needed to work out and I kept waiting for them to get around to it. It never did happen so I feel like there are a few issues that were not completely resolved at the end of the story. I would have also like to learn a bit more about the history of all of the siblings. A little bit more of a backstory would have been very welcome.

I would recommend this book to other fans of contemporary romance. I really enjoyed Katie Ruggle's style of writing and found this to be an exciting and fast paced novel. I can't wait to see what happens next in this great series!

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca via NetGalley.

Initial Thoughts
I really liked this one. There was a lot going on probably so much that it wasn't realistic at all but I didn't care because it was so much fun to read. Jules and Theo were perfect together and I loved the slow build up of their relationship. The ending seemed a bit too easy but it was overall an exciting read. ...more

I loved Katie Ruggle’s Search and Rescue series so I was happy to hear she was writing a new series based in a town not too far from Simpson, Colorado.

Jules Jackson has just moved to Monroe Colorado with her four younger siblings. She actually kidnapped them to save them from her horrible stepmother, (seriously horrible!). With new identities and a guarantee from a shifty character that her stepmother wouldn’t be looking for them “or else” she’s sets off hoping to start their lives anew. When y I loved Katie Ruggle’s Search and Rescue series so I was happy to hear she was writing a new series based in a town not too far from Simpson, Colorado.

Jules Jackson has just moved to Monroe Colorado with her four younger siblings. She actually kidnapped them to save them from her horrible stepmother, (seriously horrible!). With new identities and a guarantee from a shifty character that her stepmother wouldn’t be looking for them “or else” she’s sets off hoping to start their lives anew. When you’re trying to be stealthy and not draw attention, cops are the last people you want to notice you, yet the diner she works at is the stomping ground of the Monroe Police. Officer Theo Boscoe quickly notices Jules when her behavior screams “I’m on the run” yet that’s not the only thing that captures his attention. Jules is gorgeous and sweet, and any idiot can see she needs help and protection. And even though Jules knows she shouldn’t let Theo close she can’t help but let him in when she feels his desire to shield her, and feels his vulnerability. And hey, Theo has a super cute dog that just happens to love her family!

Theo isn’t without his own demons. He lost his partner and blames himself for not catching any signs of depression that ultimately led to his partner’s suicide. Add to that is his partner’s dog, Viggy, is depressed too after losing his handler, and it doesn’t seem like anything Theo does helps, except his visits to the skittish waitresses’ house. That’s okay, it was just another excuse to visit Jules! Viggy with Dee definitely tugged at my heart strings. Theo and Jules were a cute couple, and I was thrilled these two got some happiness in amongst all the troubles in their lives.

As the story progresses it quickly becomes clear that the danger of discovery is not the only thing Jules has to worry about in Monroe. This story was packed with action, thrills, and danger!

I love Katie Ruggle’s romantic suspense novels. Her characters are usually quirky in some way; different enough to be interesting. The beautiful, small mountain Colorado towns she sets her stories in are a draw for me, too. I do love the mountains with their sweeping views, pines, and clean air. The idea of a small town where everyone knows everyone appeals to me, fictionally at least. Not sure how that would actually be in real life, but I wouldn’t mind giving it a try someday. Can’t wait for On the Chase, Hugh’s story next!

So I was really enjoying this book. It was fast paced, I LOVED the dog and the kids were not annoying. It dealt with really tough subjects but I liked the way those issues were handled (except for one). There was not much romance - very slow burn (I think only one sex scene in the book) but I was still enjoying it. The suspense was awesome. Right up until the every end.

I was really looking forward to this new series by Ms. Ruggle. The premise of it seemed right up my alley with K9 officers and their human partners, a woman and her siblings on the run and hiding out in Colorado and a not so nice group of individuals with bombs and weapons. All the elements of a good series was there and the preview provided in After the End was very intriguing.

The premise of it seemed right up my alley with K9 officers and their human partners, a woman and her siblings on the run and hiding out in Colorado and a not so nice group of individuals with bombs and weapons. All the elements of a good series was there and the preview provided in After the End was very intriguing.

However, it took me a while to get through the book and for the most part I was disappointed. So what went wrong? I needed more character development, fewer open threads at the end of the story (and sometimes at the end of a scene) and the dialogue often seemed off and unnatural. I had a lot of highlights in this book followed by some of my snarky commentary - way too many snarky comments. And none of my highlights were positive - that's a telling statement as well.

First off, I wasn't enamored with the flashbacks in this story. Give me a solid prologue and I'm much happier. And this story would have worked really well with a prologue so the interruptive flashbacks weren't needed. And in addition to the flashbacks, the scene changes seemed to end abruptly and the transitions between scenes weren't always smooth. Now I did read an ARC, so some of the jumpiness could be resolved in the final edit.

The character development seemed to come in bits and pieces and some of the key characters didn't feel fully fleshed out. The whys of their back stories were pretty sketchy. I would have definitely liked more development of the bad guys. They had a way of appearing and disappearing but we never see much development of them.

Theo has lost not only his K9 partner, but his fellow "human" partner committed suicide. The why of the suicide is an open thread that you have to wonder if it's going to be picked up later in the series. Theo has been gutted by the suicide and feels guilty for not seeing the signs so he could have prevented his partner's death. Having lost his K9, he inherits his partner's K9, Viggy. He has internalized a lot of emotions and developed a really surly disposition which is really unappealing and it's hard to get vested in him. Maybe he needed to see a shrink? Plus his attitude and dealing with Viggy is downright off putting in parts of the book. Viggy is an excellent part of the story and seems to be every readers' favorite character.

Jules has "rescued/kidnapped" her younger siblings from her father and stepmother. The stepmother is an unknown quantity and the thread of Jules taking her siblings and hiding out in Colorado is one of the open threads that looks to continue through the rest of the series. The family unit is interesting, but I really think we needed more of their back story. What really went on with the kids? We get some glimpses into their past life, but I need more. Jules is supposed to be a professional accountant in her former life, but her thought processes come off more like a teenage version of herself.

Mentally Theo keeps using the term "squirrelly waitress" to describe Jules which I got tired of really quickly. Personally when I think of a squirrelly personality I generally think of a twitchy nerd, or an addict looking for drugs. The term didn't work for me and I cringed whenever it was written. A lot of time is spent on Theo and Jules, but for whatever reason, I never became vested in their relationship.

It felt like there were multiple plot points and subplot points and open threads are left all over the place. I had identified a number of scenes where elements of the scene were either left hanging or I didn't think all the elements were believable. I had major issues with the final suspense scene from doubting Theo's capabilities to asking why the back door of a crime scene was left unchecked. Standard operating procedures would have been to secure the crime scene including the front and back of the building.

I think if you took only the suspense plot scenes from the book and pieced them together without the romance development, you would find there isn't much cohesion or development. It's more like a loose, fractured plot. The suspense is started but then disappears with a relationship scene. I think it may be because you never see the investigation at work - just stand alone scenes. There is a fine balance in romantic suspense to make sure both the romance arc works and the suspense arc works. For me the suspense arc didn't work and left too much open and not enough closure.

The only thread that's tied in this book is the happily for now with Theo and Jules. And as this is a romantic suspense I don't consider my comment a spoiler - it's kind of a given from the very beginning. Everything else in the plot felt like an open thread waiting for the next book or even the next book after that. I get that this is a series. One major open thread is good, too many open threads - maybe not so good.

Although the series has solid potential, for me, it wasn't a stellar start. Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an ARC of this book. ...more

First Date: Ruggle hooked me from the first chapter as Jules gathers up her siblings and they embark on a new life far from the past they are trying to outrun. They move to a dilapidated farmhouse in the rugged town of Monroe, located in the Colorado Rockies where Jules accepts a job as a waitress at the local diner. Theo Bosco, an officer with the local police force, is grieving the loss of his former K9 companion and his human partner. He lost one to cancer and one to depression. Theo now finds himself saddled with a grieving K9. He has been walking around in a fog until the new waitress in town sparks his interest and curiosity. Theo is a bit grumpy, and it was delightful seeing him come back to the living as he gets to know Jules and her siblings.

Second Date: I loved the setup. We have a woman in hiding who gains the attention of local law and then finds herself falling for this sweet man and his dog. Ruggle took us into the daily lives of Jules as she and her siblings became acclimated to their new life. It provided humor and had me wanting to hug them all. Theo and Viggy (K9) slowly integrate themselves into their lives, and it was heartwarming and a tad scary. Jules is hiding a huge secret, one that would force Theo to make a decision. I am usually not a fan of secrets and believe in coming clean but in this case, there was more involved than just Jules, and the law doesn't always favor the victims.

Third Date: Throughout the tale, Ruggle weaved suspense including a shooting at the school to danger at the farmhouse. Ruggle did a great job with red herrings, and I for one was surprised as we entered the climatic ending and discovered who was behind these attacks. The threat of Jules being discovered also heightened the suspense, as nosy locals and her relationship with Theo put them all at risk. Ruggle sets us up for the next book, and I am already counting the days to the next audio release.

Callie Beaulieu is a new to me narrator whose narrated over 30 titles. A large majority of them are cozy mysteries and her voice suited RUN TO GROUND. Her voices captured the characters personalities and I found her pleasant to listen to. Her pacing, tone, and switch from voice to voice were delivered flawlessly. I love when a narration enhances the authors story and Beaulieu did just that. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Book Reviewer ...more

The story really begins with Jules a young woman who is desperate to get her younger siblings away from her stepmothers abusuve control. When I say desperate I don't use the word needlessly because Jules has been working for very shady characters indeed , the sort that get your pulse racing , your palms turning clammy and make you start to think about concrete boots! Yes she's at her wits end but help comes from the most unlikely source and it means Jules breaks the law and 'kidnaps' her brothers and sister!
Theo is in a bad place mentally . He's not quite got over the death of his canine partner but even more draining is the fact that his best friend took his own life. Theo exists in a hardened fog, just going through the motions really and the last thing he needs is the knowledge that he's letting down Viggy his new K-9 partner. So what will he do when a new waitress shows up who is obviously on the run and hiding something ? Has she been hurt, is she still in danger? Theo might not realise it but the hot , secretive waitress is about to wake up his emotions but it turns out that Jules really is in danger!
Theres quite a few flashbacks initially as this story begins which slightly irritated me as I wanted the plot to move along. That being said the characters here are very easy to like and there's a huge appeal to be had from Jules and her charming family. As if that wasn't enough of a cute factor the author also throws in fellow police officers who feel like Theo's family as they tease and generally wind him up. Then of course there's Viggy with his fears and sadness and he was just such a lovely touch.
This is fiction so most things are allowed but the big reveal at the end just didn't quite convince me. Plus I know Theo is a hero but what he does here didn't feel realistic. Oh and there's the little matter of just who helped Jules initially and how that arc will play out in future books. I really liked seeing this couple get their happy ending but unfortunately it's not my favourite book from this author . However as I've enjoyed her other books I will continue to read her stories but hope I don't have to suspend belief quite so much next time ...more

Run to Ground is a great story filled with suspense, lovable characters, an adorable dog, and a surly hero.

Jules has moved to Monroe, CO with her four siblings. Four siblings that she actually kidnapped from their abusive step-mother. With the help from some shady characters, Jules is able to get her siblings, escape across the country, and set up shop in a little town in Colorado. She knows she needs to lay low, however, it's becoming increasingly hard when one of the local officers who appare Run to Ground is a great story filled with suspense, lovable characters, an adorable dog, and a surly hero.

With the help from some shady characters, Jules is able to get her siblings, escape across the country, and set up shop in a little town in Colorado. She knows she needs to lay low, however, it's becoming increasingly hard when one of the local officers who apparently frequent the diner where she works, takes an unsettling interest in her.

If I'm being honest on why I picked up the book, it's because of the cover and because of Theo. It's one thing to be a brooding bad-ass because you've seen some things. It's a whole other thing when you lose your K9 partner not even a year ago, lose your human partner to suicide, and then get tasked to partner up with his K9 who is a broken-down shell of a dog. I mean, this poor guy doesn't seem to be able to catch a break. Not to mention the poor pooch, Viggy, who is this quivering, pathetic mess of a dog. I mean, Theo tries to take him into the field and the dog is shaking, tail between his legs, hiding behind a couch in the middle of an operation. It was so heart breaking to watch and you could just feel the helplessness that Theo felt. Here he is trying to keep a hold on himself and yet he has this K9 that resembles a badly abused dog relying on him. So, yeah, I read this book because of Theo and Viggy.

Jules wasn't a bad character either. I mean, she dropped everything to get her siblings out of an abusive home. She makes the best with their run down house, her waitressing job, and having to care for four kids. She was a strong character who has plan after back-up plan in place to ensure the kids remained safe even if they were found out. Her dedication to the kids was heart warming. The kids were also great secondary characters. You know that the youngest wasn't abused in the normal sense, but she was kind of like her mother's doll. She was always paraded around in pageants even though she didn't want to be. The two twins seemed unharmed. However, the eldest definitely got the brunt of Mommy Dearest's attention. You kind of get a feeling early on that something isn't right with him. That something happened to him, even though all the kids seem to be happy go-lucky children. It isn't until later that your suspicions are confirmed. Needless to say, I felt really bad for those kids and really didn't want to see anything happen to them.

The whole time, I was wondering when Jules was going to be found out. Whether her step-mom found them, the police figured out who she really was, or the people who helped her decided to come sniffing around, I was always on the edge of my seat wondering when the other shoe was going to fall. It didn't help that Theo's new partner was heavily suspicious of Jules and that Jules kept seeing things in the woods behind the house. There was always that underlying fear that someone was watching them.

I'm so glad I decided to give this author a chance. It's not all that often that I purchase a book by a new-to-me author... actually I think this is the first time I've ever done it, but thankfully it pulled off. Run to Ground was brilliant. It had everything I was looking for. Plus, it wrapped up in a way that I was not expecting. I thought the author would take the cookie cutter approach to the story line but instead she did her own thing, and I loved it! I won't go into details because I don't want to ruin anything but let's just say that it was unlike any other on-the-run suspense romance I've read before. ...more

Figures that the first male to show interest in her is a cop. Geez. What luck. It actually turns out to be good luck. At least so far...

Theo has had a bit of a hard time this last year. Not only has he lost his K-9 to cancer, his partner took his own life and no one knows why. Now Theo is stuck with his partner's dog who's just as messed up as he is. They're quite the pair, but they slowly start to pull themselves back together. Thanks to a certain young lady named Jules.

Like I mentioned before, this is a good start to a series that is sure to be filled with drama and love. Jules really IS a good person and although she doesn't come clean to Theo about her past (clearly setting things up for more drama to come), their connection with each other is very cute. I'm in love with Jules' family and can't wait to hear a little more about their past lives and why Sam-I-Am has his studder (although we get a little glimpse in this one). One of the things I like most about Ruggle's writing is that I always find myself pulled in to the secondary characters as much as the main. Theo's friends/partners, Otto and Hugh are a hoot. I just KNOW that they'll get their own stories soon enough, and I can't wait!

You'll notice that I haven't really mentioned anything about the drama in this book. I feel like if I mention it, it might ruin it for you guys. Just put two and two together. I mean, cop K-9's are used for specific reasons, right? I'm pretty sure that this series will have more than one boom-ing story line.

Their journey led them to a small mountain town in Colorado where they met a surly K-9 police officer who goes by the name of Theo Basco. His determination to uncover the mysteries of Juliet would place them both on dangerous ground.My PerspectiveThe StoryBeing a huge fan of this genre, I could not wait to dive into this book. From the moment I began reading, I knew I made the right decision. This story as all the elements I look for in this genre. A fast-paced plot, a slow burning romance, nail-biting moments and draw dropping twists that will have you thinking “What the Hell”. I did not want the story to end and when it did, it left me literally wanting more. There were issues regarding the main characters which, I was expecting to be resolved, unfortunately, this did not happen. Therefore, I was left with many unanswered questions. I guess these will be addressed in the books to come. The story is well written and engaging.The Main CharactersI admired Juliet for the risks she was willing to take to ensure the safety of her siblings. Her actions aptly demonstrated the true meaning of love. Few people would be willing to give up their cushy life for one which entailed being on the run so that someone else would be safe.Theo was a complicated character. His mannerisms bordered on being rude and insufferable, which made him seem unlikeable. However, as the story evolved the reasons behind his behaviour became clear. He is having difficulty coping with the loss of his K-9 partner and losing his friend and mentor.I loved them both together. They complemented each other well. Juliet brought out his softer and protective side. She made him feel alive. The cop in him knew she was running from something, but the man in him did not care about these secrets, He was more interested in getting closer to her. It was a pleasure watching Theo bond with Juliet and her siblings. There was wariness on both sides, but eventually, they managed to move past it and was able to build a semi-solid relationship.I appreciated how the romance developed in this instance. No insta-love moments here, which I am sure most readers like myself would appreciate. The romance, which was sweet with a hint of spice moved at a normal pace.Supporting Characters.I loved how Theo’s friends looked out for him. It would seem on the surface, that he did not like how they hovered out of concern, but deep down he did care. I enjoyed the camaraderie that they shared. It was fun and entertaining.As it relates to Juliet’s siblings, their love for each other was clear as day. However, I was hoping for more where their stories were concerned. There is a hint of abuse, but this was not explored. I was left to make assumptions about what had transpired.ConclusionThe ending was satisfactory, in spite of the issues I mentioned earlier. The epilogue hinted at exciting things to come, which makes me eager to get my hands on the next book in the series.RecommendationIf you love romantic suspense and stories that feature a brooding hero, an adorable dog then you will enjoy Run to Ground. ...more

Once I saw the cover for Run to Ground, I knew I had to read it. I mean, look at that shepherd. That happy K9, with his happy wolfish grin. Viggy, sadly, was not quite so carefree in the story. Both Viggy and his handler, Theo, are battling PTSD, and it puts them both in danger many times. I can’t understand why that sad, traumatized dog was expected to effectively do his job, when what he really needed, as well as Theo, was intense therapy. It distressed me that both of them were suffering, and their department did not, or would not, see their compromised emotions.

Jules is on the run. After turning in a favor to a scary man, she is given the resources to liberate her siblings from her step-mother’s abusive control. Whisking them away from school, they flee to Colorado, where a run-down house has been made available to her, as well as a new van, to start their new lives. Jules is now in charge of four kids under the age of eighteen, and somehow she is managing this on her earnings as a waitress at the local café of their new tiny town. Terrified of discovery, she panics when she learns that several officers from the police department have breakfast in the café every day. Her nervousness immediately makes grumpy Theo suspicious, and he is determined to discover what the pretty new waitress is trying to hide.

The flashbacks in the first half of the book drove me to distraction. They never really explained what was going on with Jules’ step-mother, and how this woman had so much power over all of them. So instead of finding them enlightening, or meaningful for filling in background details, the flashbacks just irritated me. Throw the reader a bone, please?

I liked Theo, though his gruffness was also distracting. No wonder Jules was so jumpy every time his frowny face showed up on her doorstep. His only saving grace was Viggy. The poor emotionally battered dog came to life every time he was in the presence of Jules or her siblings. This dog needed to be retired, not put back out on the streets after the sudden suicide of his original partner. While Theo’s emotional upheaval was equally distressing, at least he was a human, capable of making his feelings known, should he have shed his tough guy image and sought the help he needed. Thankfully, they both found comfort with Jules’ quirky family.

The romance is a slow, slow burn, and I don’t think they kissed until almost 3/4 of the way into the story. This is not a complaint, but a head’s up to readers who like a hotter romance. I liked the slower pace of their courtship, where they didn’t trust each other at first and had to work for that trust. Too many romances have the characters ripping off their clothes in the first few chapters, and I find sex scenes without any convincing emotional connection between the characters boring. While I enjoy a blistering romance, I also enjoy the sweet ones.

It seems like there are so many loose plot threads that did not get wrapped up, so Run to Ground gets a knock for that. I am invested in the series enough to at least read the next volume, which will hopefully clear up some of the lingering questions I have. ...more

Running from trouble to a small Colorado mountain town with frightened siblings in tow and encounters an irascible K-9 cop with a few suspicions and a whole lot more interest in the present than the past. Trouble finds them all in this exciting new romantic suspense series.

Run to Ground is the first book in the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit series and is part of the same world as the author's earlier Search & Rescue series. I was all set to get comfortable and fall in love with a new series by the Running from trouble to a small Colorado mountain town with frightened siblings in tow and encounters an irascible K-9 cop with a few suspicions and a whole lot more interest in the present than the past. Trouble finds them all in this exciting new romantic suspense series.

Run to Ground is the first book in the Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit series and is part of the same world as the author's earlier Search & Rescue series. I was all set to get comfortable and fall in love with a new series by the author and I did.

I was practically a whole cheerleading squad to see Jules and her younger siblings who escaped a deplorable home life get their chance along with grieving and self-blaming Officer Theo Bosco who lost a canine partner to cancer and then his human partner to depression. Secrets abound and it was a nice level of tension to see how things worked out with Jules hiding big stuff and Theo being a cop. In this instance, the secrets are justified because its one of those sad situations where the law can't help the victims here at least for now when they are most vulnerable to a crime that can't be proven.

The secrets of Jules and her relations were only part of the suspense element. I enjoyed the action suspense element of a shooter and a night prowler.

But most of all, I enjoyed this sweet and spicy slow burn romance. It was fun how it awkwardly started. He might have called her 'squirrelly' and she might have found his sour face and disposition a bit off-putting, but they got beyond that and it was all for the good.

I also was excited to meet all the players in small town Monroe who I can look forward to seeing more of as the series progresses. It was a great start and I'm rarin' to go for Rocky Mountain K-9 book two. You don't need to have read the earlier series to jump into this one so you're getting in at a good time if you're interested in a solid new romantic suspense series.

My thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. ...more

The author has bravely given us two protagonists who are both heroes and antiheroes, so that we don't quite identify with or admire them.

Her bold move is born of desperation at red tape, but she is the most adult in the small family and her judgement means that the kids will have to hide away, live under false names etc. We aren't The author has bravely given us two protagonists who are both heroes and antiheroes, so that we don't quite identify with or admire them. The lady waitress starting work in Monroe, Colorado, has technically kidnapped her younger siblings from their guardians, although the kids were keen to go with her. Her bold move is born of desperation at red tape, but she is the most adult in the small family and her judgement means that the kids will have to hide away, live under false names etc. We aren't told how she overcomes the issue of providing birth certs when the kids start a new school, but maybe they don't do that in Colorado? She has also been willing to work for shady characters, thus exposing both herself and her siblings to risk and setting a bad example.

The man on the scene already is a cop whose K9 unit dog has died. He has been partnered with a grieving Belgian Malinois whose human partner died, but the guy is so keen to wallow in depression that he's not working with the new dog. None of this stops him from staring at the new girl in town, asking her nosy, clearly unwelcome questions, stalking her and entering her home uninvited. It doesn't seem to occur to him that young women might move town to escape an unpleasant ex, overly demanding parents or a bad circle of friends. No, she is new so she must be a criminal.

When the crime gets under way it's nothing to do with the new girl of course; explosive devices and shots fired at a school, and in the booby-trapped home of the bomber, for starters. What I really like was how the work of the dogs was presented and how the bereft dog finds comfort among children. Personally I thought that the two principals get their acts together by the end, but rather late for us to like them. I couldn't see the girl jumping into a relationship with the cop she's so worried about, so I couldn't see why she didn't just ask him to leave her alone. She has enough on her plate, what with an old, creaking house, a family to feed and jobs to do. The kids are well drawn as individuals and we get a hint that all was not good in their previous family home. The location in small town mountain country is well described for us. I had not read anything by this author before and I'm willing to try more.
Expect adult behaviour and strong language.

I was sent an ARC to read. This is an unbiased review. ...more

First book of the new Katie Ruggle series, Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit, Run to Ground is an intense read. It is a great story about second chances and moving on from grief. Katie Ruggle as with her last series has an overall story arc that isn't concluded in this book, so it is going to be important to read the series in order.

First book of the new Katie Ruggle series, Rocky Mountain K-9 Unit, Run to Ground is an intense read. It is a great story about second chances and moving on from grief. Katie Ruggle as with her last series has an overall story arc that isn't concluded in this book, so it is going to be important to read the series in order. I loved the book so much I don't even mind the semi-cliffhanger. Theo, Jules, Viggy, and the kids are all great characters and the mystery behind Jules and the kids is very intriguing.

Theo lost his K-9 partner to cancer and a year later his mentor commits suicide. Theo isn't the only one feeling the grief of losing someone close to him, Viggy is having a hard time adjusting to losing his person (Viggy is a Belgian Malinois). Theo and Viggy are also having a hard time adjusting to their new partnership, Viggy isn't doing his job and Theo feels lacking and doesn't feel like he deserves a new partner; they are both depressed and just muddling through. Jules and her four siblings (Sam, Tio, Ty, and Dee) are starting with a clean slate, on the run from Dee's mother. A horrible woman whose evil has yet to be completely revealed. Jules basically kidnapped her own siblings to get them away from the abuse they are suffering from and now with new identities they just need to keep a low profile but the good looking angry looking cop that comes into the diner every morning doesn't help Jules nerves.

Theo knows the new waitress at the diner is hiding something, him and the other K-9 officers are pretty sure she's on the run from something. At first Theo is determined to find out what but he starts to spend time with her and her siblings that it becomes less and less important especially since there is a cop killer on the loose and Jules has been targeted by a creepy guy who they suspect blew up her barn. This family seems to be exactly what Theo and Viggy needed, little Dee helps Viggy over his grief and Jules helps Theo find and renew his purpose.

Overall, I loved this book so much I don't even mind that it ended with a sort of cliffhanger (more of a hook). The story lead to an unexpected twist and had some great action. The romance does fall second to the suspense but there is also quite a bit of character development and the first couple of chapters flip flop from past and present, but it is very well done.

I digress... what really made me pick up the book is the blurb and the whole suspense 'protect me' angle. As soon as I read the first couple of sentences I was instantaneously sucked into the story. Katie just has a way with words that takes you right into the story becoming a fly on the wall in the lives of a small town where Jules is on a run and hiding out while our broken hero Theo doesn't even attempt to fight the attraction and instinct to protect. Also very helpful since Theo is on a police task force!

Jules is in a new in town with her siblings trying to start life over again and give better life to all. Doing all that while being on constant guard and one foot out of the door ready to run again to secure her siblings' safety. I loves Jules!!! She was an amazing character with perfect balance of feminine and strong heroine. Even in her own position she was a solid rock to her family and perhaps that was the reason why our broken Theo with his K9 pooch, Viggy, gravitated towards her.

This whole story kept me on my toes in total suspense on what would happen and there were quite a few doozy revelations. However, I wish we got more on Jules' siblings in terms of filling more plot dents (can't even call them holes).

I so so so so so loved the characters in this book as well as secondary characters... I mean I know the story is all about Theo/Jules but I need more on Hugh ASAP! So I will definitely be following this series more closely... you know not to miss anything.

PS... the book also reads extremely authentic and after taking a peek into the "About The Author" section it's confirmed that she is a kickass with a police academy background.

Theo knows he hasn't been the same since, and is in fact struggling to bond with Viggy, his new K9, and the one Don had before his death. Theo knows Viggy is in mourning as well. Today, however, his attention keeps returning to the beautiful new waitress, and as he's found himself watching her a few times, he's become aware that he seems to make her nervous. Theo surmises it must be his uniform, but why?

Jules, a CPA, lost her license and all her clients when her client was investigated. Though Jules was, of course, innocent, her refusal to turn over information on his finances, due to client confidentiality, has left her unemployed and in dire need of an income. When her last possibility is denied, it all feels hopeless. She needs to find a way to get her younger siblings away from a dangerous situation, a fact made even more so evident after hearing her sixteen-year-old brother begging to live with her the next before. When the person she thought was refusing to help, instead offers a different kind and what she needs to make it happen, a choice she would've never considered if her siblings' (Sam, Tio, Ty, and Dee) situation wasn't so dire, and trying legally for years has always failed...she knows she's going to do it.

When Theo visits the diner again, he may have, okay, he did, essentially interrogate Jules. Jules is shaking by the time Theo is done, yet she's trying to hide it and makes an escape ad quickly as she can. Only to be faced with another nosey customer. The only difference is this time Theo steps in to ensure she's okay.

It isn't long before Theo's curiosity switches from professional to personal where Jules is concerned. Theo knows nothing can come of it though, fearing he's too broken and damaged to explore anything with Jules, however, he has a feeling they could both use a friend, especially since he knows she's running from something, or someone. Okay, the latter is true, but he yearns to be more than her friend.

As Theo and Jules's paths continually cross, sometimes intentional, others not, the attitudes of both subtly change. Theo's losing some of his grumpiness, looking forward to seeing Jules and her siblings and Jules is smiling when she sees him now, imagining what could be. When they decide to explore their feelings, it isn't long before they've fallen for one another and begin to picture what their lives could be like together. However, someone wants Theo to suffer, and they know his weakness is Jules.

Can Theo keep Jules safe? Will Theo and Viggy ever bond as a dog and his handler should? Will Jules take a chance on the happiness she could find with Theo? Or will she let it slip through her fingers due to her situation? Will Theo ever know what Jules is running from? Or will he trust in her enough to know if it's something bad, it was with good reason and a last resort? Will Theo ever begin healing from his losses? Will Jules help him feel again? Will they get a HEA?

One-click now and follow along with this new series as two people, both struggling, albeit for different reasons, meet and begin a journey toward love. However, as Jules, and her siblings, were given a second chance, so too will others, and one is on her way to Jules now. Her name is Grace and she needs a safe place to start her new life.

After reading all of the books in Katie Ruggle’s Search and Rescue series, I am a big fan of her writing style. She is very good at creating likeable, courageous, yet vulnerable characters. Above all else, she can spin a good mystery with a good amount of misdirection. With Run to Ground, she continues down that path. You get sucked in from the very beginning and everyone is taken on a wild ride.

In Run to Ground, K9 Officer Theodore “Theo” Bosco is having a hard time adjusting to the loss of his friend/mentor to suicide not too long after losing his canine partner to cancer. The only thing that seems to have given him a reason to live is the new waitress at the diner, Julie “Jules” Jackson. But Jules has her own cross to bear. She has rescued/kidnapped her younger siblings from their evil stepmother and moved them all to this small town in Colorado. Jules is doing everything that she can to stay off the radar but Theo can see right through her. Things become much more interesting when it appears that Jules’ life is in danger and Theo keeps rescuing her. Jules can’t risk Theo learning the secret about her past or her siblings but she can’t seem to stay away from him. In addition, Theo’s new canine partner Viggy, who has his own baggage, appears to only perk up when he is around Jules and her family. They all make for an interesting mix of very damaged people. However, there is something about the way that they all interact that seems right.

I really loved Run to Ground. The mystery was impossible to solve. I didn’t come close to figuring out who the killer really was. There was some suspenseful and explosive moments before the big reveal and I was very shocked although it made perfect sense in the end. Theo and Jules complemented each other very well in and out of the bedroom. Plus, I really liked Jules’ siblings because they added a good dose of innocence to the story. Jules played the role of momma bear very well and that made her very strong and easy to root for.

I hope that the next book in this series is just as fun and intriguing to read.
