Penny Potter, tourist guide for the Montana Department of National Forests and Parks, is a single parent on the run from her little boy's Father. Jake Morrow is the child's Father and Penny's ex boyfriend . Jake was an FBI agent when he first met Penny but now enticed by money and power he has turned to the other side of the law. Now he's after Penny and wants to take her little boy away from her. He will do anything to get the boy even if it means killing Penney to get him.
Zeke Morrow is a special agent for the FBI. He's also Jake Morrow's half brother and he's been assigned to bring him in dead or alive. Jake is smart cunning and a real charmer with the ladies. Zeke gets assigned to protect Penny and her young son from Jake. His Half brother always seems to be one step ahead of him and Zeke wonders why he always seem to know where Penny and Kevin are hiding out. When the time comes for a face down could Zeke really kill his brother to save Penny and Kevin? Will Penny always be on the run from Jake?
Since this is National Dog day I thought it was a good time to review this book. This story is also about K-9 dogs and how they work along side their human partners to restore law and order. These intelligent dogs are very vital to the Police Departments across the country . Readers get to know Zeke's K-9 agent Cheetah, a beautiful Australian Sheep Dog who is willing to take a bullet in order to protect Penny and Kevin from Jake and his ruthless partner in crime, Gunther Caprice. I thought this story was worth five stars. Not only was it gripping and edge of seat but there was also romance too. The story was unpredictable and entertaining. Definitely a page turner.
I recommend Tracker to readers of Suspense Thrillers and Love Inspired Books. It's the last book in the Classified K-9 Unit series. I read it as a stand alone and thought it was very good.
I borrowed a copy from the digital library. A review was not requested. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Woohoo -- it's the Grande Finale of the Classified K-9 Unit continuity series. And while you could likely read this one as a standalone there's lots of tying up loose ends in Tracker that will be more meaningful if you've been following along book by book. Like what's up with Zara for instance. I kept wondering if that was a set up for a new series or if we'd finally get answers by the end of this one. Yay for answers. And kudos to Lenora Worth for bringing the pieces together in such a compelling fashion.

A complicated romance between the two people closest to Jake is just that -- complicated! So much history to sift through, trust to gain and a past to be dealt with once and for all. And that can only happen if Jake is brought to justice. Taut, fast-paced suspense adds an air of desperation to a seemingly doomed love story. And Cheetah the Australian shepherd and tracker extraordinaire is just icing on the cake. Awesome conclusion to a fabulous series.

I read this after reading the "Bodyguard" book in the same series, but not having read the earlier books in it.

The toddler Kevin was cute; yes, his verbal skills were about on par for the age.

I never would have guessed what Jake did in the end. It reminded me of a smarter version of J. R. R. Tolkien's Smeagal character.

I also would've never guessed what Penney did when Zeke went down. All those trained fighters present and she did WHAT ... !!? I understand her motherly motivations, but still, I'm not convinced how realistic that was. Not that such books have to be realistic to be enjoyable.

I preferred "Bodyguard." It annoyed me that in "Tracker" the main characters misinterpreted silence multiple times instead of talking things through. And when they did talk, they kept going around in circles. Unnecessary dialog, and not enough dialog that was to the point.

It was also a little harder to follow than "Bodyguard" without all the prequels. I do get that it was a sort of the wrap-up to the series, apart from the Christmas specials, and so many of the prior characters came in for guest appearances. I realize that when I choose to read books without reading the prequels that the struggle is my own fault. Just a warning that other readers might consider ...

I knew how Jake kept finding them, and couldn't believe it took them so long to figure that out, especially since they were supposed to be trained.

This was also less of an animal lover's story than "Bodyguard" had been. In this story, the animals were more like tools.

Zeke had a vague faith "that everything works toward the good," without really saying what that faith was based on or how that good would come about. He did mention attending church as a teen. Penney ran with that, thinking that "he loved Christ and turned to him in his times of need." Possibly. But Zeke never mentioned Christ or what his views on Christ were. He could've been a deist (believing in God, but not that Jesus is God's Son), or he could've been a believer in fate or chance. We don't really know what Zeke believed. It really wasn't much a part of the plot.

Another "insta-love" book.

Favorite quote:
"He had a lot of pent-up anger and bitterness inside him, a lot more than anyone realized. I could have helped him, talked to him, if he'd been willing to let me." That IF is the big IF.

Tracker
This has been the best book series that I’ve read in a while. I loved the way the last book tied everything up, and left no unanswered questions. The action, and suspense was excellent. It had a cute little 2-year-old boy that melted my heart. Penny who was a single mom was running for her life, with her 2-year-old son. Her ex was a FBI agent that turned bad. Now Jake wants to take his son, and leave the country. Penny can’t live without her son. Jake’s brother Zeke is also a FBI agent, and he offers protection to Penny, and his nephew against his brother. He is determined to do his job. Watching over Penny and the little boy started off as just as his job, but the more time he spent with her, the more he slowly fell in love with her. His heart is torn throughout the book about his brother. It’s hard for him to handle the fact his big brother is now bad agent. There were parts of the book that really touched my heart.

Loved this book!

Tracker is the thrilling end to The Classified K-9 Unit series. Lenora Worth's stories are always filled with hope, love, forgiveness, and faith. And of course tons of action.
Zeke Marrow had the difficult job of protecting his brother's ex girlfriend and her son Kevin. Zeke wasn't one hundred percent sure he could trust Penny Potter. But he soon realized she wanted nothing to do with Jake except to stop him. Zeke and Penny took risks and in the end, decided it was worth it.

Love this series

This has been a wonderful series, Penny has been on the run for months with her son Kevin. Her ex-boyfriend Jake Morrow has finally caught up to her and it is not good. The K-9 unit is also looking for Jake he was one of them so they thought. This book has so many twist and turns. Zeke, Jake's half brother and his k-9 partner is also searching. What will he do when he fine Jake, how will he protect Penny? When life throw us challenges we just need to remember that God is right there with us.

This is a tense, suspenseful story that I enjoyed very much. A heroic dog, and adorable child, MOB crime family ties, clean romance, and a life turning around make it worth reading. The Love-Inspired suspense K-9 mysteries I have read have all been good.

I did not like this book. There were so many errors and inconsistencies and the story itself wasn't very believable.

I'm not crying over a silly Love Inspired Suspense novel. I'm not. But the story keeps you turning pages and the ending is extremely satisfying. Good ending to the story arc.

Watch Over My Child: Michal’s Destiny Book 3 is by Roberta Kagan. This third book looks at the difficulties the children who left Europe on the KindertransportI had when they came from Germany to England. Most of them had no real idea of what was going on and did not know English. Worry about their siblings and parents was constantly on their minds. Some were welcomed into warm, happy homes while others were looked at as servants.
Gilde Margolis was sent to England by her sister Alina and their family friend Lotti Glassman. They knew they had to do something to get her to safety after Michal and Traavi went missing. Lotti and Alina worked at the Jewish Orphanage and were able to get Gilde on the list with the orphans. At ten, Gilde did not want to go but knew she had no choice. Luckily for Gilde, she was taken in by a family with a daughter a little older than she was. Jane didn’t resent Gilde’s presence in her home but took Gilde under her wing and helped her acclimate to England. They became best friends and sisters until a boy came between them. Jane thought Gilde had stolen him from her and it caused a rife that widened as Jane went off to nursing school. Shortly after Jane left, the bombing of London took place and her family was killed. Gilde was now left homeless and no one wanted to take her in because of the already short rations. Gilde found herself at the home of the Lawrence family. This is just the beginning of the struggles Gilde has in the seven years she is alone in England. She loses communication with Alina and Lotti and has worry about them and her parents constantly on her mind. Will she ever be reunited with them?
This book gives a look into the lives of the children sent to England. However, this is one of the more successful placement of a child. We see Elias and Shaul, orphans sent with Gilde, in very different circumstances. Other children had much different stories. As far as I can tell from other reading, this is fairly consistent with the treatment some children received.

this is the sixth book in the Classified K-9 Unit Series. I have really enjoyed this series and Lenora does a great job closing it out. This story is well written, action packed, and full of suspense. You are going to love it.

Penny Potter is a single mother. She has been hiding out from the father of he child for months. Jake had been a member of the FBI's elite K-9 Unit but has gone rogue. Now he only want the child and to be rid of her. The FBI K-9 Unit is out to find Jake and stop him. His half brother steps in to protect Penney and her son. Can she really trust him?

FBI Agent Zeke Morrow is out to find his brother and to bring him in. Zeke must figure out who's side he's on. When Jake kidnaps his son Zeke steps in to help find the missing boy. Can he find the boy and then keep these two safe? Can he really bring in his own brother?

A struggle for these two wounded hearts. Both loving a man that is trying to kill them and leave the country. God has a plan for these two; a good plan and not of evil. God has a plan for you too; a plan for a hope and a future. Trust Him with your heart and watch Him move in your life.

Tracker by Lenora Worth is amazing! All of the feels, action-packed scenes, and the suspense of what will be keeps my full attention. It is one epic rollercoaster ride. A single mother is running away from the father of her child. A father that was once one of the best FBI agents. Now, he is one of the worst criminals. He has the means and connections to keep track of his woman and son. Then, there is the half-brother who is also one of the best FBI agents. He and his K-9 partner race to keep both the woman and child safe. Yet, trust issues between the agent and the woman keep them from danger. Twists and turns are plenty in this tale. I enjoy characters who pop off the pages. These characters have a way of melting my heart, making me cry, and rooting for them. It is full of family, love, and faith too. Tracker is definitely one crime heart pounding yet sweet inspired read I recommend to all.

Solid. Warm. Loving. True.

These four words are perfect to describe this concluding installment of the Classified K-9 unit series. FBI agent Zeke has been searching for his half-brother Jake throughout this series. Jake is an experienced agent who has apparently gone rouge. Zeke is facing torn loyalty, confusing investigative clues and an unexpected attraction to Penny, the mother of Jake's toddler son, Kevin. But Jake wants Kevin for himself & he doesn't care who gets hurt in the process. The story is action packed, suspense filled and family oriented. The dogs of the K-9 unit add a depth and reality to the tale that provides a heart felt touch. Wonderful conclusion to a sweet, yet sometimes heart rending series. Ms. Worth has created another heart warming tale.

This installment was interesting. Jake Morrow, rogue FBI Tactical K-9 unit, is trying to kidnap his son and kill his son’s mother. Jake’s half-brother, Zeke, has vowed to protect Penny Potter and her son. Zeke and his K-9 partner Cheetah, find a place with Penny and her son.
Jake finds them every time they move to a new safe house until the final house. Jake makes a choice to either protect his son or let him die. Jake chooses his son and dies to keep the boy safe. As he is dying in Zeke’s arms Jake tells him enough information to finish taking down the Dupree crime family.
Zeke and Penny decide they want to get married. They have loads of guilt and grief to deal with since Jake was killed in their search for him.

Penny has been on the run from Jake, her ex-boyfriend and the father of her baby. She is tired and can't figure out how keeps finding her. FBI agent Zeke, who is also her ex-boyfriends brother, is also trying to find her to protect her. Zeke finally finds her and together he tries to keep her safe and catch his brother, who is a fugitive. They are fighting to stay alive, as well as fight their untimely attraction to another. They are also trying to figure out where God fits into their mess.

This whole series had a common plot so it was nice to have closure to the whole series. Highly recommend this book and the whole series.

I won this book in a giveaway and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is the final book in Lenora Worth's K-9 series filled with mystery and suspense. I have not read the previous books, but this one seemed to stand alone without any problems. Zeke and Penny have to rely on their faith and learn to forgive in order to find the love they both desire. Thank you, Lenora, for sharing this with me. I will look forward to reading more of your books.

AWESOME!!!

These stories in this series are really intriguing and they capture your attention from everything else going on around you. At least for me they did. I hate that Jake turned bad, but that happens in real life when we don't trust God and let him have our life. The desire for money and fame gets the best of even the best person unless they are sold out to Jesus. Keep up the good work with these stories. And I love the dogs in these books!!!!

I read this book for some pure entertainment. In the past, I have enjoyed this author's writing. In this book she gives dogs some personalities. This book totally followed the general outline for a romance/adventure book. Yes, there is a happy ending and all story lines were concluded. The characters in this book could have been real people. I will pick up another book by this author when I need some pure entertainment again.

Zeke and Penny finally get their harrowing story. As Zeke Morrow comes across Penny Potter, his brother’s girlfriend in the forest, where she works as a guide. He witnesses his brother Jake threatening to take their son from her. Now time is running out for Zeke and Penny to stop his brother before it’s to late. A good suspense with many twists and turns.

I normally like Lenora Worth's LIS, but the amount of repetition in this one really kept me
from enjoying the story - especially since we'd worked our way through with the 'villain' in this one, knowing who it'd be.

No spoilers here.

Still full of action and danger. This one closes the story of the Duprees, Jake Morrow, and all the collateral damage caused by their reign of terror. The ending has a celebration for all involved, and the dogs add a nice touch.

Penny is hiding her son from her ex-husband, an FBI agent gone rouge. When her son is kidnapped, she is forced to turn to her ex-husband's brother for help and protection. Falling for each other was not what either of them had planned.
