MY REVIEW
I am not a fan of all kinds of action going on and then the music swells and the protagonists gaze longingly into each others eyes and ba-boom the kiss. Fortunately, that does not happen here. Romance, yes... suspense laden romance which is my cup of tea. The back drop is Afghanistan, and I am not a fan of this... it seems this is military life, so we if we must, we must.
You do not have to read the first 2 in order to deeply appreciate this book. It is stand alone, and very well done stand alone. Character development is fever-pitched from the start and that makes the storyline extremely impactful. Kendig does a very nice job of storyline weaving in and throughout the characters. Where some fiction seems forced, this is a good story flow, without plot surprises coming from forced character actions--in other words, the characters are believable and act according to their profile with gradual changes for the better, changes toward harmony. That is rare these days.
However, with this book, I did. I really liked the Discarded Heroes series, so I figured this one would be excellent... and it is, for the most part.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Former Navy handler Timbrel Hogan has more attitude than her Explosives Detection Dog, Beowulf, but she’s a tough woman who gets the job done.
Green Beret Tony “Candyman” VanAllen likes a challenge and convincing the hard-hitting handler they belong together might just get him killed. When tragedy strikes and Tony’s career is jeopardized, Timbrel must re-evaluate her life and priorities—and fast. A terrorist plots to unleash a weapon of mass destruction on American soil.
Can Timbrel and Beowulf track the chemicals in time? Will Tony surrender everything to save the woman nobody wants to love—except him?
4 of 5 stars
Good book worth the money.
