When Rio Silva is told her aunt and uncle are missing in a Philippine rainforest, she knows there is only one answer to finding them: the retired military working dog her dad entrusted to her. Chaos, however, has a mind of her own, a lot like Rio. Worse, she’ll have to trust arrogant and bossy former Army Ranger, Cathal McGowan if she hopes to get them back.

The last thing Cathal McGowan needs is to be shackled with a young, pretty teacher with no combat experience as he leads them into the darkness of the rainforest. But she has heart—he’ll give her that. And he has the experience she needs to rescue her family.

Putting everything on the line, Rio and Cathal struggle to navigate the terrain, as well as their emerging feelings for each other. But the closer they get to mission success, the more things aren’t adding up, including who might be behind the disappearance. It’s not long before they realize the rainforest holds greater perils than deadly vipers…and the biggest danger of all might be their hearts.

Dive into another thrilling A Breed Apart: Legacy adventure.

My Review

Chaos
by Ronie Kendig and Steffani Webb
Book 2 in A Breed Apart Legacy
Rating: 4.5/5

Wow. I love this series so much! The characters are well written and the story was well-paced. If you are not familiar with this series, you can still read the book by itself. I highly recommend reading the other books in the series though. There’s something so special about these military dog stories and their handlers. The action is nonstop and will keep the reader on their toes. The romance and chemistry is swoon worthy but the characters are flawed and authentic. Faith is subtly woven into the story. And the dog is perfect! You will not want to stop reading this fantastic story.

Highly recommend if you enjoy romantic military suspense that will sweep you off your feet and around the world!

Title: Forever Home
Author: Hope Toler Dougherty
Series: Forever #3
Genre: Christian Romance
Publisher: Scrivenings Press LLC
Release Date: August 16, 2022

With a fulfilling job and a home of her own, former foster child, Merritt Hastings, relishes her stable, respectable life. Dreaming for more is a sure way for heartache. When a contested will turns her world upside down, she must revaluate what’s important to her, what’s worth fighting for, and what’s worth sacrificing.

Patience has never been Sam Daniels’ strong suit with his history of acting quickly and asking questions later, and he’s ready for changes in his life…now. Too bad the plans for acquiring a radio station didn’t include a contract. Now he’s out of a job, out of a radio station, and out of prospects.

While his life is in flux, at least he can help Merritt steady hers, or will he rush in and overstep …again?

Will the sparks flying between these two opposites lead to a happily-ever-after or heartbreak for both?

My Review

Forever Home
By Hope Tyler Dougherty
Book 3 in the Forever series
Rating: 4/5

I received a complimentary copy of this book through a Blind Book Review Tour giveaway. I was able to find it also on KU which was nice too. The story is a heartwarming, honest, charming romance that believes in second chances and redemption from past trauma. The main character was someone who experienced trauma and emotional abuse in her past and the author deals with her development so gently and lovingly the way Father God does with us. Faith is woven throughout but it is not preachy at all. The writing is slower paced than I usually like but the story is well written and helps you delve into the character’s mind. The author goes back and forth between the two main character’s perspectives and the reader can really feel all of the insecurities and doubt with great authenticity. The romance between the two main characters is humorous, charming and will keep you turning to the next page. I have not read the other stories in the this series but did not feel like I needed to in order to enjoy – however, I will definitely be reading more from this author. I also loved all the musical parts – since I play piano too! 😉 

Highly recommend if you enjoy clean romance with wit, authenticity and a musical flare.

About the Book

Title: Havoc
Series: A Breed Apart: Legacy #1
Author: Ronie Kendig
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: October 17, 2023
Genre: Paramilitary Romantic Thriller

A soldier, a Malinois, and a stuntwoman walk onto a TV set . . .

Former Special Forces operator Sergeant Crew Gatlin takes everything in stride, even the career-ending incident that separated him from the Army, half a leg, and his beloved working dog, Havoc K027. Putting his life back together and lying low, he takes a job with A Breed Apart and is unexpectedly reunited with Havoc. It’s too good to be true—and the proof is in their first assignment: to work as a K-9 team for a television drama in Los Angeles. Miffed at being relegated to TV fodder, he’s willing to pay the price when he sees the stuntwoman.

Being a stunt double allows Vienna Foxcroft to fulfill her acting dream—with a side of MMA—and stay out of the limelight. The same one that plagued her childhood and put her through a nightmare scenario. Now, her tight-knit stunt team are the only ones she trusts. Then in walks Mr. Mountain-of-Muscle and his tough-as-nails dog, and Vienna has a bad feeling her life is about to turn upside down.

Ticked as they head overseas for a location shoot in Turkey, Crew guts it up—after all, he has Havoc again. Okay, and yeah—Vienna is going, too. When an attack sends the cast fleeing into the streets of Turkey, Vienna must face the demons of her past or be devoured by them. And Crew and Havoc are tested like never before.

Experience the high-octane thrill ride that is the first book in the A Breed Apart: Legacy series.

My Review

Havoc

By Ronie Kendig

Book 1 in A Breed Apart: Legacy series

Rating: 4.5/5

What a ride! This nonstop story will keep you on your toes rooting for the main characters. I haven’t actually read the previous A Breed Apart series but still felt like the story could be read and understood as a standalone. Such an incredibly inspirational story of loyalty coupled with a fun and flirty romance. The faith aspect is there too. I could not get enough of Havoc! I cannot wait for the next books in this new series.

Highly recommend if you enjoy military dog stories full of action, romance and suspense!
