These officers solve the toughest cases with the help of their brave canine partners.

Seek and Find

Reporter Madison Coles wants to write an exposé on crime in Desert Valley, Arizona, but the residents and police are tight-lipped. Even when Madison is attacked, rookie K-9 officer James Harrison is the only one who helps her. The more Madison’s life is threatened, the more focused she is on finding the truth—and the closer she gets to James. Can he help her without them both ending up in the obituary pages?

Honor and Defend

Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, Lee Earnshaw is two weeks out of prison when an ex-con tries to kill him and his former love, K-9 rookie cop Ellen Foxcroft. Lee knows he must be the intended target, but is the shooter settling a score, or does Lee have something he wants? As Lee and Ellen investigate the case, they find themselves in a killer’s crosshairs.

long drawn out minor mystery that seems to continue over many books. I don't care enough to read more in the series to find out. The gratuitous mentions of prayer and God are lame and out of place.

I thought these would be interesting but they were oddly paced. Dud finish them but not sure I'll read anymore in series

Two K-9 officers find love well they were working on cases.

Enjoyed being with these authors again. James and Madison story was exciting from the start. Madison was out to get a story. But as she was out to get it she got herself into trouble. James came to her rescue and as they worked together they fell in love. So many cases to solve in this small town. Lee and Ellen story was exciting from the start too. They were high school sweethearts who had never fallen out of love. They worked well together. It almost got put to a stop when Ellen was kidnapped. But Lee and her friends on the police force came to her rescue. Looking forward to reading more in this series.

I had read the series before, sometime ago, when the first few pages mentioned Marco the puppy my memory came back. I continued to read on and I was testing my memory going on with the mystery of good cop bad cop and deaths that remain unsolved. Romance also in the mix. (I read the latest Lynette Eason book in between reading this updated-edition)>

leaves you hanging

Okay I have been spoiled. I’m used to reading books that tie off all the loose ends at the end. Like the first book, this one leaves it open, I can’t tell if the next story will connect to either of these but I plan on reading it to find out!

K-9 Unit Collection

Two novellas by Mention and Eastland the revolve around the disappearance of donated puppies that were chipped. Murders took place and offenders hunted. A good weekend read.

Nothing grand here - the first short story was a formula write, no surprises or twists. (I did not read the second short story). As a head's up: short story one is a Christian based story.
