Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston is as tough as they
come, and he and his K-9, Saxon, are hot on the trail of a major illegal
gun dealer. But his best lead—the beautiful owner of the Dog Park Café,
Andi Hardt––is not cooperating. Doesn't matter how sexy she is, or that
his dog seems to be in love with her. She's a suspect and he won't
cross that line. Ever.
Andi Hardt sank everything into her dream
business—the Dog Park Café, a restaurant catering to dogs as much as
people. Now everything is in jeopardy because of one extremely
frustrating, incredibly hot state trooper. Like it or not, she's in
Nick's crosshairs, and he's calling the shots. Her only option:
cooperate, or lose everything she's worked so hard for.
Nick and
Andi are catapulted straight into the danger zone, forcing them to make
life-altering choices, and face their desires. Risking his life for Andi
is the easy part. Risking his heart is the toughest assignment Nick
will face.

Review: I loved this book, up to a certain point.
The first part is just amazing, 5-stars worthy. The story is gripping, the action scenes are great, the romance is hot, and there are lots of twists and turns.
But then Nick kind of changed the tone of the plot - at the beginning of the story it is clear that for him only facts will prove if Andi is guilty of money laundering or not (and there are several clues that really keep you on the fence about her), and then suddenly he turns tables and starts saying that he can feel she's not involved, that she's innocent for sure because he wouldn't be falling for her if she was guilty.
This change of heart did not make sense, it was not consistent with his character - and it obviously didn't convince me.
All in all, the book is still quite good, but I cannot bring myself to rate it with more than 4 stars.
Happy readings,
