Explosive Forces: A K-9 Rescue Novel by D.D. Ayres

Synopsis via Amazon:

Danger is heating up…

When Carly Reese’s beloved fashion boutique catches fire, she sees her dreams go up in smoke. The good news is that Carly was saved from the flames by a barking dog nearby. She soon discovers the heroic pooch is a trained K-9 who’s guarding his unconscious partner …a gorgeous firefighter who ends up in Carly’s arms.

Noah Glover and his K-9 are a fearless duo, and Noah has clearly met his match with the brave, beautiful Carly. Soon they team up to track down the arsonist behind the blast – a psychotic criminal who’s intent on framing Noah. Meanwhile, the sparks between Noah and and Carly could ignite a five-alarm fire. Should they smother their feelings in the name of justice…or fan the flames of passion? 

Miss Ayres brings us Book #5 in her K-9 Rescue Series.

Miss Ayres is a great romance author, but this is not only a romance, there is also a bit of suspense to it.
There is always a bit of education in Miss Ayres K-9 Rescue series and this is not an exception. Explosive Forces introduces the reader to the special bond between a service dog and a military veteran who is determined to overcome his acquired disability.
While most romance stories have  obstacles that the hero and heroine must overcome, Miss Ayres has created a kind of "whodunit". For me this added to the reading adventure and enjoyment.
I think as the reader tries to figure the puzzle out, they become more invested in the characters and story. Add to this a HOT cop, spunky heroine, and adorable furry friend, you get a book that is impossible to put down.
I know this is a short review compared to my other reviews, but there really isn't a better way for me to let everyone know that Miss Ayres has brought us another heart felt, heart touching story.

I received a free copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
