A serial bomber is on the loose in New York City and K-9 officers Gavin and Brianne are on the case along with their trusted bomb-detecting canine partners Tommy and Stella. I really liked that the hero and heroine were both K-9 officers in this story. Gavin and Brianne made a terrific team, and they were great together both personally and professionally. I especially enjoyed when they went undercover. The K-9 dogs, Tommy and Stella, were pretty awesome and wonderful at their jobs. The ongoing storyline in this series still remains unsolved, but the serial bomber storyline wraps up by the end. A thoroughly entertaining read with very likable characters, both human and canine.

Whew! What a gripping opening scene! Vivid descriptions of a panicking crowd left me hyperventilating! Not one, but two, K-9 officers (and their humans!) to the rescue.

I'm loving this True Blue K-9 Unit continuity series. Deep Undercover is the fourth book but can be read as a standalone. However, I'm really bonding with this team of K-9 Officers and their elite dogs so it's always a thrill to meet up with the gang in each book.

This time it's Tommy and Stella's turn to sniff out clues and bring criminals to justice...well, they do get a little help from Gavin and Brianne. :-) If only the humans got along as well as their dogs though!

Gavin's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Ambition and pride have caused him some trouble in the past. He's trying to live that down but Brianne doesn't always make it easy for him since she's a tad guarded and a whole lot prickly. She also has a tendency to react defensively as she sets out to prove that female officers are just as capable as their male counterparts. Gavin totally gets that, but it doesn't stop him from going into protective mode now and again which drives Brianne crazy because -- hello, she's a cop too! Love the dynamics between this hero and heroine. Almost as gnarly as the suspense!

Another page-turning addition to this stunning series!

My review today is one the Love Inspired Suspense, Deep Cover. This is book four in the True Blue K-9 Unit Continuity Series. I have really enjoyed this series. It has been written by some of my favorite authors. This book is no exception. I am a true fan of Lenora's work. This book is well written, action packed, and full of faith. I know you are going to love it. Although it is part of a series but it is a book that can stand alone. A great read!

K-9 Officer Gavin Sutherland has had some problems in his unit. He had made no bones about the fact that he felt he deserved to have the chief's job but Jordan Jameson got the job. He was really upset about the whole thing but then Jordan was killed and all eyes looked to him. Then his brother Noah was given the job. Gavin can't help being a little bit bitter. He is determined to find Jordan's killer. Now he and his partner Tommy are assigned to watch the shoulder of the East River waiting for the fourth of July fireworks. Tommy is a bomb detection dog. His rookie partner, a woman that he finds extremely attractive, and her K-9 partner walks up to him. Bringing him a bottle of water. Both dogs alert and Gavin sens the rookie and her K-9 after the man who had recently had a backpack but didn't now. Tommy alerts and he finds the backpack and Gavin tries to get people clear of the area. The crowd panics. The bomb goes off but everyone is safe for now.

Rookie K-9 Officer Brianne Hayes was to have graduated the day their boss disappeared and was later found dead. So now she is the rookie without certification. Stella, her K-9 partner is being trained to bomb detection. Brianne felt like she had to work harder than the others to prove her worth. She has some real trust issues. She hadn't been happy to be pared off with this man but now her thinking has completely changed and she finds herself attracted to the man.

They find themselves in a journey to find the bomber. They go undercover as a married couple to try to flush out the killers. Fighting their attraction they must learn to trust each other but find themselves in deep trouble. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too. Give Him your heart and watch Him turn our life around.

As the New York K-9 Unit continues to work on the murder of their boss and the disappearance of his K-9 partner Snapper, they have a serial bomber to deal with too. NYPD K-9 officers Brianne Hayes and Gavin Sutherland have suspicions about a realty group and decide that the only way to get the truth is to go undercover.

There is just one catch to Gavin's plan - they'll have to go undercover as a married couple. A couple with money to spend and a spoiled dog who goes everywhere with them. Yes, Gavin's K-9 partner Tommy is going undercover as a spoiled pooch in the hopes that he can sniff out evidence leading them to the bomber.

But when someone starts targeting the pair, the only question is whether it is related to their bomber or to Jordan's murder.

This is the fourth book in the True Blue K-9 series and it continues the story arc that has been running throughout the series - what happened to Jordan Jameson and why. Will the K-9 unit ever get to the truth? If you have not read the previous books that should not be a problem - as this story while having the series thread running through it focuses more on Gavin and Brianne's bomb detection work and their undercover operation. And as this is a Love Inspired Suspense there is of course a possible romance in their future - all clean reading too.

"Deep Undercover" is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the fourth book in a series but works as a stand alone novel. The main characters were likable and reacted realistically to events. Brianne and Gavin were both police officers with K9 bomb-sniffing partners. They worked together to figure out who's bombing old buildings on prime land so it can be bought for cheap and renovated or rebuilt.

They respected each other and generally worked well as a team. They weren't really undercover: in their free time, they occasionally dressed up like a rich couple and posed as clients looking for an old building to buy cheap to renovate. Gavin liked that Brianne trusted him and was willing to work with him on this project since others on the K9 team had suspected him of wrong-doing (in the first book). The suspense came from the physical danger to Brianne and Gavin as someone kept trying to kill them. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.

Slow, oh so slow

Not sure what happened with this part of the True Blue series. This book was very slow. It took me almost a week to finish it. Several times I all most stopped. I have read other books by this author but this one missed the mark. Happy that Gavin had proved himself to the other K9 officers after his blow up about Noah getting the captain's job after someone killed Jordan. Bree was awesome glad that she helped Gavin get over the feeling of abandonment from his mother. Bree also realized that Gavin was not like her ex-boyfriend and she could trust him. This story has bombs, attempted murder, and a few other surprises.

This was the first book I read in the serries and I loved the crime part of the book! The romance aspect isn't the best compared to other books I've read but by page 150, I was hooked. Lenora seems like a very devoted and kind author who loves what she does and you can tell just by reading her stories. I fell in love with her writing style the moment I started. Your sure to love this book! I really reccomend it! You can read the whole serries, or even as a standalone. I do suggest reading the whole serries in order though since it would probably be confusing out of order. I know I'm gonna check out the rest of the serries!

The first thing I noticed about this book was the author's use of verb tenses. It was nice to read without wanting to take out a red pen to make corrections on the pages. This was another book in the True Blue K-9 Unit series which I enjoyed. Finally, Gavin had a chance to prove that he wasn't as bad a person as others in his unit seemed to think he was. Of course, I thought his grumbling in front of others about not getting the job he wanted was immature and unnecessary. Nevertheless, by working with Brianne, he was able to redeem himself and improve his reputation. The dogs make the series what it is. Their skills are amazing.

This is well done. Its part of a series called True Blue. I like how Brianne and Gavin at first have conflicts but work thru it as the story evolves. Its got great action and I like how each story has its own mystery but the murder of their chief is still there to be solved. Lenora does a excellent job of combining the mystery of the bomber with the action of what is going on. Its well done and the series seems to flow well despite deferent authors for each book. I look forward to reading Terri Reed's book next. J

Deep Undercover is the fourth book in the series and a pretty good amount of action and bravery! With two K-9s and their handlers Gavin Sutherland and Brianne Hayes they go undercover to try and figure who is setting bombs and why? Many attempts are taken against them and as Gavin and Brianne work hard to solve the puzzle they also grow closer. Will they survive to have a chance at a future together?

Real Estate Bomber VS NYC K-9s
This book is the fifth in a series about NYC k-9s and their handlers. Each book in this series has its own plot but has an over-reaching story arc. They should be read in order to enjoy them the best. This story is about a bomber in NYC who seems to be targeting real estate. It is a very good plot and well planned. The story also has a nice, clean romance developing. The entire tale is faith-filled. I highly recommend this series.

Deep Undercover is the 4th in the True Blue K-9 Unit continuity series. I love all the authors in this series and each book has been action packed. Gavin and Bree and their bomb sniffing dogs, Tommy and Stella, are the main characters in Ms. Worth's story of stopping a serial bomber. One can read this book as a stand alone title, but do yourself a favor and read the entire series!

I actually gave this book a 3.5 rating. I loved Gavin and Brianne. They were really fun. Bree has been targeted by a serial bomber. She has at least three attempts on her life but Gavin saved her each time. They go under cover to find the bomber and to stop a crooked real estate agent.
Their story was fast paced and well thought out. The author let the story unfold naturally.

Deep Undercover

Another amazing story in the series True Blue K-9. Gavin and Brianna are such a good and comfortable match both in their work and personal life. Their dependence on God for protection was great.

It was good. Not my favorite though. It was a lot slower paced because it had less action than the other stories. Still... I like the continuity that the books maintain.

Can't wait to book #5

Need something quick and light to read with the holiday stress. This was not to exciting or stressful. Two K-9’s and their cop partners try to solve the recent bombs and who murdered their boss. Only part of the mystery was solved.

Disappointment

Too much emphasis on the two main characters and not enough on the dogs and their abilities. Hope the next book is better.
