The Texas K-9 series begins with Tracking Justice, followed by Detection Mission. Each novel has a different author, but the main story line carries through in each book. Soon, I will have the remaining books in the series, which are Explosive Secrets, Scent of Danger and Lone Star Protector. The story line involves a mystery that the local townspeople and law enforcement never knew was occurring. In book one, we are introduced to the characters of a small town called Sagebrush along with a wooded area called Lost Woods.
The rumors from the street are that in the Lost Woods drug deals go down, bodies might be buried there, and people have gone there, but have never come out or been seen again. A crime syndicate has set up shop in the small town and one by one the officers of the K-9 unit or residents of the town are being targeted. No leaking of information is coming from street informers because The Boss has silenced them with intimidation.
In Guard Duty, Rookie K-9 Officer Salgado is constantly being the target of the syndicate as they fear she may be able to identify a member momentarily seen leaving a murder scene. However, Victoria Salgado can’t even picture the woman’s face, but her top priority is keeping Bethany safe. The case gets even more complicated when the rookie must work with an FBI agent who is on the hunt for a man who is wanted, but also seems to be tied to the syndicate.
I am amazed that with six different authors the characters are consistent, the plot thickens and the tension is ramped up with each book I read. Plus, I cannot seem to figure out who The Boss is as with guesses made the action in the novel points to another possibility. Each piece of fiction makes the characters so lifelike to me I almost feel as if I am reading a true story from a paper. These K-9 books are true treasures as they are fun, exciting and captivating to read. Time sure does fly when I am reading! I hope you will consider reading the series or a of couple books as they are just fantastic!

Guard Duty Texas K9 Unit Sharon Dunn 9780373445288 Books Reviews

Two people,Valerie & Trevor, with very different backgrounds are drawn together by dangerous circumstances. Valerie & Trevor are very likeable characters. Valerie, whose sister recently died, is raising her sister's baby daughter. I love how she is learning to be a mom & balancing that with a dangerous job. It is heart warming to see how Trevor, who is very unsure about children, warms up to Bethany. I enjoyed how the relationship grows. Lexi is a police dog & loving pet. As a pet lover, it was a little hard to read when Lexi was in danger. All in all a good mystery & romance. It is refreshing how a good story can be told without graphic sex & foul language. That's why when I just want to read something light, I enjoy quick reads like those from Love Inspired.
The storyline was pretty good. The dialogue was believable and the main characters were likeable and pulled you in. Some of the action was not too realistic. But, I didn't buy the story for true to life police action. The story was fast paced and the love interest didn't develop so fast I couldn't buy it. The continuing story developed nicely and really piqued my interest for reading the next book. I loved how the author gave you another piece of the puzzle to the syndicate. I would read this author again because of the believable personalities of her lead characters. I also appreciated that she didn't resort to flowery comments like "you are the love of my life and hold my heart in your hand". Just good old fashioned straight talk that a real cop would say. Too often a writer suddenly turns a strong personality into a prose spouting namby pamby.
This book was great. While she's learning to be a K-9 police officer Valerie also has to learn how to become a mother to her 18 month old niece since losing her sister to cancer. With her hands already full she becomes a target of a hit when she sees a criminal. She meets an FBI agent that changes her life when she's asked to help him with his case.
I kept trying to suspend my need for a little realism in romance writing, but I gave up. The girl in the story is a rookie cop with the custody of her baby niece. Her life is in serious danger, her niece has no one else and does she take time off from work - no, only she can find the bad guys (with the help of a cute FBI agent). Off she goes and has the bad guy take away her gun no one, but twice (at last count). Another time the bad guy is arrested but then gets away (have we heard of handcuffs???).

Somehow this girl thinks that doing things by herself is showing great police procedure. I am sorry she would be fired in a heartbeat for the things that she does. The fact that she is the only guardian for a baby that has no one else and takes the risks that she does made me not like her. It seemed like she was closer to her dog than her niece.

Final thing, I enjoyed the first 2 books in the series. But it still bugs me - this is supposed to be south of San Antonio, Texas I believe. Somehow what I've seen of the area doesn't seem to condusive to a forest, except maybe of cactus. These stories seem to be written for 12 year old girls who won't know the difference.
