Another entertaining book from the Rookie K-9 Unit continuing series. This could also be read as a standalone. I absolutely loved rookie K-9 officer James Harrison’s K-9 partner, bloodhound Hawk. Hawk stole every scene he was in. Good suspense and a nice romance made this a very enjoyable read.

Oh my goodness, this is such a fun book!! I love Dana Mentink’s sense of humor and it was out in full force in Seek and Find! And it can basically be summed up in one word: Hawk.
Hawk, the rookie K-9, stole the show. And every scene he was in. And even some scenes he wasn’t in. Yanking whoever happens to be holding his leash wherever he wants them to go. Always on the prowl for any food left within easy access. Or something to chew on. He’s not overly picky.
But he IS a darn good tracker. And if all the rookie K-9s in his unit are as skilled as Hawk, the Desert Valley PD is in good hands … uhh… paws.
Seek and Find will have you smiling and chuckling, for sure, but it will also find you biting your nails in suspense or swooning at the deliciously sweet romance. A fantastic mystery with unexpected twists and turns, danger around every corner, and a sleepy town full of people you aren’t sure you can trust. Oh, and did I mention the romance? And the humor? Seek and Find is everything I love about Dana Mentink’s writing – funny, cute, swoonworthy, and suspenseful. Make sure you add it to your “must-reads” TBR pile ASAP! And… don’t leave it around where Hawk might decide to chew on it

I am loving the Rookie K-9 continuity series, from both the 4-legged and 2-legged officers, to the suspense & mystery, mayhem and danger!
This is James Harrison and his partner Hawks story, the bloodhound referred to as “a nose with a dog attached”. I have enjoyed other stories by Dana & this one is no exception! She laces her own quirky sense of humor within the pages, especially when it comes to describing Hawk. There were quite a few places I had to chuckle out loud! The dog still has quite a few things to learn, and has had many re-training sessions. He still chases squirrels, chews up furniture, drools his delight on his partner (and anyone else he likes) and howls his complaint when he thinks it’s his dinner time. But his nose does an excellent job when it comes to tracking down criminals, sniffing out drugs, or finding Madison.
As for officer Harrison, he’s handsome, dedicated to his job and has a problem with reporters since one in the past ruined his family. His mistrust keeps him from opening his heart to ANY woman, especially “Little Red” reporter Madison Coles. Assigned to protect her while the killer is still loose, he’s all professional.
Madison, only wanting to dig up how the crime spree has affected local businesses, stirs up an unexpected hornets nest! Having been attacked and almost killed several times already, she chafes at officer Harrison protection duty. Independent, strong-willed, and mistrusting of cops she finds herself in trouble quite often. How will these two learn to work through their differences and mistrust to bring not only a criminal to justice, but bring to light the danger to the whole P.D. department?
This one kept me on my toes the whole time. I had a hard time putting it down once I started! It’s was like a reunion between old friends visiting the town of Desert Valley, AZ. I enjoyed catching up with my book friends from the previous novels. This story had plenty of action, pulse-pounding scenes, my heart racing along with Madison as the danger lurked nearby, a mystery yet-to-be solved, and an enduring K-9 officer. Oh and the human characters weren’t so bad themselves! I especially enjoyed that both main characters were Christians and their faith played a major role in the storyline. I loved seeing the spiritual growth and the eventual love develop between the two as God healed them of past hurts and misconceptions. A truly delightful tale (or tail if you will)! While this certainly can stand alone, I highly recommend reading the previous books as there is a recurring mystery thread that I’m sure will be solved by the final one.

I discovered Dana Mentink's writing last year and she is an author I intend to follow! Everything I've read of hers has been just top notch! Christian romance or Christian romantic suspense, it's all great.
Reporter Madison Coles wants to write an expose on the crime spree rocking Desert Valley, Arizona, but the small town's residents and police are very tight-lipped. Madison gets attacked and the only help she can get is from rookie K-0 officer James Harrison and his trust bloodhound, Hawk. The cop is suspicious of Madison's motives and keeps her at arm's length. But her life is threatened more than once, and she is even more determined on finding the truth. Can James help her get the story she wants without them both ending up dead?
Dana starts the book off drawing the reader in and it doesn't let up at all. I was immediately immersed in the action, trying myself to figure out the culprit, all to no avail. When she reveals the crook, I had not guessed correctly. Her characters have problems of their own, but both have the Lord in their life. Both, however, need to rely on God a little more and trust Him to work in their lives instead of holding back because of past hurts.
Dana Mentink has written yet another fast paced and completely intriguing Christian romantic suspense novel. I highly recommend it. Loved every minute.

Seek and Find is book three in the Rookie K-9 Unit continuity series. I have not read the other books, yet this story stood on its own just fine. Seek and Find has tons of intrigue and danger and plenty of questions about who is behind the multiple deaths that have occurred over the past years.
I really liked the main characters, Madison and James. They both came from complicated backgrounds. Both had serious trust issues. And both had guilt weighing them down, especially James.
The distrust that they both had for each other made for some tense situations as James and Madison were thrown together. The attraction they felt for each other, yet resisted due to their insecurities, was powerful and worked well with the story. Seek and Find was a very suspenseful, exciting, and enjoyable book to read.

Hawk thrilled me to my toes. Still does, as a matter of fact. I fell for him hard. Those dreamy bloodshot eyes and satiny soft droopy ears! Be. Still. My. Heart. And those piercing looks that reflect the depths of his soul. He's not perfect, mind you. He can be a bit brooding at times -- especially when he's denied access to food...any kind of food. And all that saliva -- but really I'm not the kind of girl to let something like a little drool stand in the way of my true love. I can also overlook his paranoia over squirrels mocking him. Hawk is sweet perfection even if the author has labeled him "a nose with a dog attached."
What? You're interested in my opinion of the human hero? Pshaw! He's nice enough, I suppose, if you go for the all-business-except-for-the-twinkle-in-his-eye-that-hints-at-something-more kind of guy. And he speaks Dog. That's a swoonworthy trait in any man as far as I'm concerned. But he doesn't speak reporter -- in fact he doesn't like reporters at all. Unfortunately Madison is a reporter and she needs protecting. Such a lovely romantical dilemma. There's plenty of action, an intriguing suspense and a sweet romance. You might just say this one is a howling success. :-)
Oh -- and FYI - Seek and Find is part of the Rookie K-9 Unit continuity series -- one book release each month for six months. Totally reads well as a standalone -- Madison and James get their man and a happily ever after though there are still a few open-ended story threads that need to be tied up. Looking forward to book four -- Honor and Defend by Lynette Eason.

This is an excellent read. If you aren't familiar with Dana Mentink books I highly recommend them. Her stories are hard to put down, with realistic topics, conflict and suspense. This is a stand alone book in the series, her first with a group of popular Love Inspired authors. The characters are well defined and interesting. I like when an author can get me to care about the characters in a story. Dana Mentink pulls that off every time I read one of her books. She has the characters tell their stories and that makes for a well rounded read too. Her descriptive writing causes me to 'see' the world the characters live in, right down to the wrinkly soft skin of a young bloodhound named Hawk. (I even learned about special care these amazing search dogs require for good health.)
Madison Coles is believable as a reporter who is driven to move forward in her career. With her family history I couldn't help but wonder what influence her uncle had on her decision to follow in his footsteps. James Harrison, a rookie K-9 officer also has a background that may have brought about his decision to become a law officer. Now that they've clashed their story is an action packed, emotion filled read that has lessons for all of us.
If you like suspense (and try to figure out who the 'bad guy' is and what is going on) I highly recommend Seek and Find to you. If you enjoy Dana Mentink books, you could find this to be one of her best so far!

Did not like this continuity with other books I had read .. so was negative about this from page one when I recognized the setup.
But Hawk, James’s bloodhound, was great.
Some good bits in middle but I skip-read last part of book to the end.
Too much drama and unblvble n this book and storyline ! So barely a 3 star for me.

An almost good paperback about a reporter who is trying to write an in depth article about several suspicious deaths in Desert Valley. In the first place she tries to get information, she is attacked. James comes to investigate. There are several attempts on Madison’s life and she and James try terribly hard not to fall in love. The story just didn’t flow well. The inspirational parts were not inspiring. I did enjoy the slobbery blood hound K-9.

Seek and Find was a fast paced and action filled read. Madison Cole is a reporter and had been assigned a business article in Desert Valley, but she wanted to report on the murders that had been occurring. Rookie James Harrison and Hawk, his K-9 bloodhound, met Madison as she was heading into Desert Valley.
Madison and James do not trust each other in their respective roles, due to their past history. However, James was determined to protect Madison when she was attacked multiple times. As their relationship develops can they really trust one another in their respective roles? There are so many twists and turns along with past baggage the hero and heroine are dealing with. Will they be able to totally trust God and one another to find the peace and trust they need in their lives? Who is the behind all the murders and threatening the business owners in Desert Valley?
Dana Mentink has penned a tale that held me spelled bound until I completed the book. There is constant action, unpredictable events that made me laugh along with my heart pounding at times. Dana has become an author I look forward to read with her inspirational suspense or inspirational romance books.
I received a complimentary copy of Seek and Find from the author, in a giveaway. I was not required to give an honest review but this is my honest opinion for Seek and Find. I look forward to reading more books by Dana Mentink.

A brown flash races across the road !!!
Reporter, Madison Coles veers off the road.
Madison is on her way to Desert Valley, Arizona. Her
assignment is to report on how the current crime spree
is effecting business in the area.
The brown flash turns out to be Hawk, a bloodhound
trained to be a K-9 Seek and Find dog. The person in
charge of Hawk is Rookie K-9 Officer James Harrison .
Officer Harrison does not like reporters as they caused
him personal loss in the past. So he is not happy when
he and Hawk are assigned to guard the reporter who
seems to have an attraction for trouble.
Madison also has a past she is trying to overcome.
There was an undeniable chemistry between the main
characters. What will happen between them? Will they
Be able to overcome the past and be willing to walk with
God into the future?
The characters are very realistic, well developed, and very
interesting. The issues are very real. The tension was
thick with plenty of suspense, great chills, thrills with
unexpected twists.
There is a powerful message of God's forgiveness and
love if we turn to Him.
Great read!!! This is Unit #3 in Rookie K-9 series.
Thank you Dana Mentink for this eBook.. My opinion

Dana Mentink has a vivid imagination when it comes to creating truly suspense-filled novels. I've read several of her Love Inspired Suspense books, and I'm always on the edge of my seat, wondering what is going to happen next! Seek and Find is another one that kept me reading past my bedtime, wanting to read just one more chapter.
Her characters are very well developed. Reporters and cops don't tend to mix well, and James and Madison are challenged as the plot heats up, but Madison's instincts adds intrigue and determination throughout the story. Both characters carry heaven burdens from the past, and those burdens add friction to their friendship.
I fell in love with James' trusty bloodhound, his K-9 companion. I laughed at times at the antics he got into. Other characters throughout create darkness and a sinister focus.
By all means, pick up a copy of this great suspense-filled book. I loved it, and highly recommend it. It's a great weekend read or one you can take to the beach.

Seek and Find ( Rookie K-9 Unit )
By: Dana Mentink
Seek and Find by Dana Mentink is one of the Rookie K-9 Units Continuity series. This book is good as a stand alone with no problems. I absolutely love Dana mentink’s writing. Her books are all good Christian romance suspense. I have not read any of her books that I did not like. She does not disappoint me. She grabbed me right at the start and did not let go till the end. This is one of those page turner where you can not read fast enough to see what is going too happen next. I caught myself holding my breath a few times and other times I was laughing. Madison's is a reporter and she is after the truth about the crime that is rocking Desert Valley, Arizona . Is she putting her life in danger? K-9 Officer James is a cop , and his partner is a bloodhound ,Hawk. I fell in love with Hawk and I know you will too. Can James and Hawk help Madison, and can they find out who is behind her attacks? Will they be to late?

James and Madison's love story was an action packed, adventuresome pursuit of truth and justice both in police work and journalism. Their own healing journey of facing their past and learning from it but not hanging on to it unhealthily was an honest portrayal. Loved the faith aspects of their journey.

This has got to be my favorite one of this series so far! I absolutely loved Hawk! That bloodhound was so much fun and so full of love and a perfect match for rookie James Harrison. I loved the relationship and growth of James and reporter Madison Coles. Both scarred by the past and full of distrust of Madison's profession and people in general, but they overcome it with faith and understanding.
A seemingly innocent story from Madison's editor sends Madison on a dangerous road as she clashes with James and a corrupt cop. James is assigned to protect her and right away sparks fly as she wants to continue her story and James wants her to let it go. After three attempts on Madison's life, all edge of your seat, she finds James could be right and their relationship deepens into respect. Add a particularly lovable bloodhound who eats nearly everything in sight and does not like to be caged (a truly memorable scene! Couldn't stop laughing for five minutes!!), and you have a memorable and wonderful addition to this series!!!

Talk about a book that grabs your attention and you do not want to put down! Reporter Madison Coles and rookie K-9 officer James Harrison both seek truth, but their jobs are different. Madison is affected by her past, being raised by a loving father who evidently kidnapped her and her sister after killing their mother. James' past involves another reporter who shattered his family because of false accusations. Someone repeatedly tries to kill Madison, and James' job is to protect her, while Madison is gutsy and willing to try to protect him.
This book was given to me in a generous giveaway, and my opinions are my own.

This book is completely readable and enjoyable on its own. Had no clue there were previous books in this series. Suspense, mystery, intrigue and a slobbering lovable blood hound. The K9 officer James and reporter Madison have sorrow and baggage. Don't we all to various extents. They also both have their faith. There are some heart wrenching moments, some laugh out loud moments and a happily ever after. This was a first time read for me by Dana Mentink and I enjoyed it!

Loved this installment to he Rookie K-9 Unit series. Madison Coles was a typical nosy reporter and persona non grata with the Desert Valley Police Department. James Harrison is a rookie K-9 cop who has learned from past experience to mistrust reporters. He is also bait for a supposed serial killer that has been targeting blond, blue-eyed rookie cops.

I have enjoyed the books by Dana Mentink that I have read. She is a good writer whose prose is very easy to read. I liked this novel about a K-9 handler trying to keep a reporter safe. The dog in this story is a bloodhound named Hawk; and unless a character is evil, Hawk is a friendly, slobbering animal. I like seeing the dogs at work in these K-9 stories.

The Rookie K-9 Unit series is one of the best series I have read. This is the first book by Dana Mentink I have read, but Seek and Find is a great romantic mystery. Love the dogs and camaraderie among the Rookies.

Just a great, all around "whodunit"
Quite suspenseful. Keeps you reading and guessing. Appeared to be very well researched. Enjoyed the leading characters. Especially, Hawk, the K9!

Love the way Mentink balances heavy back stories with enjoyable light fiction. Not as laugh out loud as the last one I read of hers, but still very enjoyable. I also really was thankful it didn't get unnecessarily dark or graphic.

I love to read books with dogs in them. Especially one like Hawk. This book is full of mystery, laughter and finding the truth.

Great storyline with romance angst that ends in a HEA.

Great Book!
I couldn't believe how good this book was. The dog had me laughing even as he was working. I can't imagine how much drool a bloodhound could produce.

I enjoyed this book. It was a good mystery and as it’s part of a series I was really intrigued about the ongoing story. I’m not really a dog person but I enjoyed it anyway.
