This is a Suspense Romance, and this is the 8th book in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series. I really enjoyed the story/plot in this book. There are two mysteries in this book, and the ending has twist and turns that was so good. I did not see the ending coming. This is a short and fast read, and I did not want to put the book down. The characters where very fun to follow, and I loved the dogs in this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

I enjoyed the whole storyline but didn’t expect 2 issues before the end

Why, yes, this is me mooning over the noble King, Belgian Malinois extraordinaire! The perfect protector and run buddy and a bit of a goofball on the side. What's not to love? Oh, sure, his two-legged partner is mighty fine too...for someone lacking a keen sense of smell and the ability to detect danger before it's too late to do anything about it!
Bradley makes up for his lack of K-9 abilities by being finely tuned to King's every mood and willing to trust in the dog's uber spidey senses. :-) They make a formidable team and are just the officers to help Sasha figure out who is gunning (quite literally) for her. Only Sasha isn't a slouch and she has some cunning investigative skills and isn't afraid to use them.
There's a bit of a more serious tone to this LIS as both hero and heroine have lost parents to violence. Bradley has coped by holding himself aloof and pouring all his time and energy into his policing as a way of making a difference. Sasha's approach to healing is more subtle, but effective. "She prayed for small successes. That God could use her to touch a heart, to ease a burden, to lift a spirit -- those were the things she wanted." (p 23) Love this contrast between these two and the dynamics it creates.
This is the grand finale of the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn continuity series and I'm thrilled to have all the t's crossed and the i's dotted on that seven month hunt for a killer! You don't need to have read the first six books to enjoy this one as Sasha's mystery takes precedence and the author does a great job of neatly catching readers up with the over-arcing suspense thread backstory so it all makes total sense.
And there's a really sweet epilogue featuring the entire K-9 team and their significant others (including dogs!) celebrating Thanksgiving. And we still have two Christmas novellas to look forward to next month. Count me one happy reader.

Here we have book 8 in the True Blue K-9 Unit series. Each book features great K-9 officers. Shirlee McCoy is very good at suspense and takes her readers on quite a ride as yet another crime is solved with the help of some awesome police dogs. I love suspense novels and I love dogs, so these stories are particularly interesting. Recommended.
My thanks to the publisher for a digital copy of this book via Net Galley. I received no compensation and the opinion in this review is entirely my own.

An exciting and entertaining addition to the thrilling True Blue K-9 series. I have loved every installment of the series I have read, and the fact that there are few books in between here and there that I have missed have had no effect on the enjoyment of the stories or keeping up with the series.
Detective Bradley McGregor finally gets his story, I have been anticipating this one, as Bradley and his little sister were in the middle of the continuing suspense plot that ran through the series.
Bradley is a true hero, a person who is easy to admire and look up to. The way he raised his sister as just a child himself, the way he has handled himself throughout the difficult circumstances he has faced, he stands out with his steadfast character, his kindness, his generosity, his work ethics, his perseverance, and his faith the foundations of his fiber. And that so making Sasha Eastman his perfect destiny, soulmate, partner - whatever you want to call it, cause they share a lot of same attributes, as well as tragic life experiences.
The suspense and deadly stalker kept the story on the edge. A couple of times Sasha's own actions put her in danger. There are two entwined suspense plots working on in this tale, and both of them get solved, questions are answered and cases wrapped up with the help of the whole unit.
I have delighted in this multi-author series, in the sharp and vivid suspense, in the K-9 dogs and their bond with their partners, in the love stories that have developed, and the growth in their faith that many of the characters have experienced. Each book has delivered a fresh, unique tale that perfectly fits into the bigger picture of the series. A delight to recommend this story and the whole package the True Blue K-9 Unit makes

I enjoyed getting to know Bradley McGregor better in this book. He was a side character in the book, Cold Case Pursuit, which comes before this one in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn continuity series.
I really liked the dynamic between Sasha and Bradley. They had some things in common from their pasts, including having parents who were murdered in a high profile manner. I liked that they could relate to each other regarding the way these events impacted them.
A couple of times in the book, Sasha’s actions put her in direct harm, which was frustrating, however, it did make the book very exciting. Trying to discover the identity of the person trying to kill Sasha was definitely intense.
The author wrapped up the series with this book, tying up the loose ends to a murder investigation that spanned the entire series. I read books seven and eight in this series and had no trouble following the story.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This is the eighth book and dramatic final story in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series and is a totally enthralling, well-paced, suspense-filled read with great characters, both human and canine!
Journalist and broadcaster Sasha Eastman has had a traumatic life. Her mother was murdered, her husband committed adultery and left her and her much loved father sadly died after losing his battle with cancer. Despite this she's a relatively positive person, sharing good news on a regular tv slot. When she starts seeing her mother's killer stalking her she thinks she must be imagining it as he was killed by police years ago. However, when he shoots at her - and misses - in front of Detective Bradley McGregor and his K-9 partner, King, she knows it isn't her imagination. Can Bradley and King help protect her and bring the perpetrator to justice?
This isn't just the one suspense filled thread, there is a copycat killing that is too close to what happened to Bradley and a mysterious person being sought in connection with the latest murders. As the stories unfold, the tensionns mount and Sasha finds herself as the potential victim of more than one killer! It is a fascinating read, sharing an insight into the roles of K-9 officers and their partners whilst also showing trust, love and faith can help when facing potential danger.
Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

Bella storia che conclude ottimamente un'altra serie multi-autori su squadre cinofile. Il voto è anche per la serie.
January 9, 2021
Journalist Sasha Eastman is shocked to discover that the man that is stalking her looks just like her mother's murderer. How could that be when he died years ago? The thing is, Sasha committed the face of the brutal killer to memory and she is certain that she has stared into his eyes once again. What is more is that he apparently wants her dead now.
K-9 officer and detective Bradley McGregor has been assigned to protect Sasha. Imagine his surprise and shock when she describes the man that is chasing her. What is more is that this case is bringing memories back to Bradley about something that once happened, not only making him extra focused on helping Sasha, but also making me as a reader feel drawn to him and his past, thus both stories are woven together quite well within the pages of this compelling mystery.
This book concludes a series by multiple authors, and I hadn't had the opportunity to read the prior stories. What I did like about this book is that as the cases progressed, readers were connected with characters who no doubt each had their stories told previously. By so doing, Bradley couldn't help but see that his team members all found their forever love. In fact, he wondered if he would ever find such love, and it did not escape his notice that Sasha appealed to him on several levels, beyond the fact that he was looking out for her safety.
Although I came to this series late, I was drawn into the story from the beginning and loved that each officer had a K-9 partner, in this case it was King, Bradley's partner. I loved King's role in this book. His training came to the forefront more than once and made me eager to see how he would be instrumental in Sasha's case, and this did make me curious of the other books and other canines in this series.
This delightful story was a quick read, one that I was able to enjoy in a single sitting. While this was only my first book by Shirlee McCoy, it certainly won't be my last. I enjoyed the way she wrote the characters and how she blended the two stories together. It was also very nice to see the strong bond between the officers and their canine partners.
Many thanks to Love Inspired Suspense and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

Formulaic
I didn’t connect with the characters. The constant reference to their childhoods felt repetitive and I had to skim quite a bit.

This is the eighth book in the True Blue k-9 Unit: Brooklyn series.
This was a really intense book. Both of the main characters had a lot of old baggage that was currently triggering them. Bradley had uncovered his father’s killer in the previous book to this one and this book featured the duo solving the crime of Sasha’s mother’s death and the truth behind it.
I could feel this book to my core since I recently lost my mother six months earlier. I always enjoy the Love Inspired Suspense line and this one particularly resonated with me. I will definitely be looking for other books in the K-9 series.
If you want to read a good romantic suspense book, definitely check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

All the books in this true blue k9 unit Brooklyn series have been so good I typically read them in one or two days. All the authors have been great and I plan to research more books written by each of them.

*): Even if I’m not a fan of Christian I liked this series and was hooked since the first instalment.
This is a highly entertaining and gripping book that kept me on the edge till the end.
The characters are well written and interesting, the mystery is solid and kept me guessing, the plot is tightly knitted and well written.
I loved the dogs and I think this is a good romantic suspense with a realistic love story and a cast of great characters.
I’m sad because this is the last book in this series.
It’s recommended.

Sasha is being stalked by her mothers killer, thing is he's dead. Detective Bradley witnesses an attempt at Sasha's life and now is helping her figure out who this guy is and keep her protected. On the side he is working on a seven month case that eerily close to something that is close to him and he's on a mission to figure out who is behind it and finally get some justice.
There is so much going around. First of all this book is a series can be done as a stand alone. I feel like I've been on and off with reading this series, when I happen to come across it I read it. To make things clear though this book is book eight it does well as a stand alone as well I don't feel like a missed anything. I loved getting to know these characters and their back stories. Both went though a similar hardship with the death of a family member and things that come with that. You can't help but to want these two to find their happily ever after. I love that there was so much going on to keep me the reader on my toes. I loved that there was never a dull moment and that Sasha was a resourceful women who when faced with a challenge or in danger can think on her toes. Overall great book I really enjoyed it.

I am SO happy to review another book from the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series. Unfortunately I have missed a lot of books since Copycat Killer, book 1 by Laura Scott so I have some catching up to do but fortunately each book focuses on a different case.
This time, Bradley McGregor and his K-9 dog King must help a lady who is being stalked by the same man who killed her mother. But how can a dead killer be a stalker?
This synopsis was enough to get me hooked and the stalking was very scary. I am naturally a very cautious person, so an experience like this would make me extremely scared for myself were it happening to me. I wanted justice for Sasha.
The K-9 Unit are professional and there were lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing. Suspense, real threats and romance are a perfect combination and Shirlee's work flows so well.
As soon as I finished book 1 I emailed Harlequin asking when another book would be out. I am glad I got to review the first and last books in the series and the others are on my list.
Thanks to Shirlee McCoy and Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense for my ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

I finished this book in a couple of hours. It was just so good and I love losing myself in a good book!
McCoy is a really good story teller and I love how she makes her characters seem real.
Yes, I even felt the hairs stand up on the back of my neck at times. Of course I read this late at night which is my favorite time to read.
The 9th book and the last in this series. I loved every one.
I enjoy a book with a lot of fast paced action and just right romance. This one was no different.
I recommend..

Delayed Justice is the 8th book in the True Blue K-9 series, and actually contains two seperate mysteries. Any of these stories can be read as stand alones, this is a action packed story and one that I really enjoyed. This was a quick and easy read that kept me engrossed in the storyline. I definitely would recommend this book to others.
I received a ARC from NetGalley and the publisher Love Inspired Suspense, and this is my fair and honest review.

I enjoyed this latest in the Brooklyn K9 unit series of cases. As always the dogs make for a well rounded story but the characters are also well described. The romance develops slowly and can be read without a blush.

Sasha Eastman is a journalist who reports on positive uplifting stories for a local station and someone wants her dead. This someone though looks exactly like the man who murdered her mother years ago a man who was shot at the scene and died. Sasha vows to find him and find out why he wants her out of the way.
Detective Bradley McGregor and his K-9 partner King stop at a local shop and soon find themselves on the hunt for a shooter and protectors of a frantic young woman. Bradley understands how this woman Sasha feels, as he is also a victim of the murder of his parents. He vows to protect her while trying to find her killer.
Bradley also is also on a mission to find a copycat killer, one who has killed the parents of a young girl, the same way his parents were murdered. As Bradley and Sasha become closer, she is intrigued by the unsolved murder and offers to help however she can. Will she be able to help or will Sasha just find herself in more trouble?
This story was a fast-paced suspense novel with two mysteries. Although the unsolved murder is from a previous book in the series, the author Shirlee McCoy does an excellent job of filling in the back story for the reader. I loved the characters and all the supporting characters in the story and all the K-9 partners were very well written. This book has action, suspense, and sweet love story. I would like to thank author Shirlee McCoy, Harlequin Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was a great read!

All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.

Delayed Justice
True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn
By Shirlee McCoy
All his life Detective Bradley McGregor has looked out for his little sister. But now she is getting ready to get married and leave their home behind. But since his parents' murder all those years ago he's felt the judgment of others - the blame that he could have been the one to do the deed. Years as an officer with PD have not lessened those feelings and he thinks nothing ever will. And there is no way that he is about to be interviewed by Sasha Eastman for her popular program.
But when Sasha becomes the target of a man who looks just like her mother's killer Bradley will do all he can to keep her alive. He just never expected to connect with her on a personal level. But Sasha is nothing like he expected - she's not cynical and wants to uplift with her broadcast.
But the question that has them most baffled is how a man who died more than a decade ago can be targeting Sasha. Time is a luxury they don't have to find the answers they are seeking.
If you are looking for a page-turning, clean-read suspense with a touch of sweet romance look no further. Shirlee McCoy's Delayed Justice is the ninth book in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series. Even though it is part of a series you can totally read this as a standalone book as each book features different characters as the main story focus.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations other than that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

"Delayed Justice" is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the eighth book in a series, but each novel can be read as a stand alone. Sasha's shot at by a man who looks just like the man who murdered her mother. Only, he's dead. The shooter's also bold: he shot at her right in front of Detective Bradley, a man that she wanted to interview for her TV show. Bradley's concerned that she'll use this opportunity to get the personal details about his difficult past, but she clearly needs his and his K-9's protection.
The main characters worked hard to overcome difficult pasts. They were likable and reacted realistically to events. The suspense came from the repeated attempts to kill Sasha and their need to figure out who the attacker was and why he wanted to kill her. After wrapping up that case, Sasha used her investigative skills to help wrap up the ongoing murder investigation involving a recent murder that mirrored the murder of Bradley's parents.
There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting suspense.

Delayed Justice by Shirlee McCoy was the thrilling conclusion to the True Blue K-9 Unit series based in Brooklyn.
I have really enjoyed this series. Each book had its own interesting plot and then you have the plot that was woven through the series.
Delayed Justice was K9 officer Bradley and his dog, King's story. Bradley was a child of the murdered couple. It gave you a sense of what it must have been like for him to deal with the suspicion that he might have been their killer. I really liked his character.
Sasha had her own issues when someone tries to killer and they look just like her mother's murderer from decades ago. How can that be possible when he is dead.
Shirlee did a great job tying up lose ends and including some of the characters from the entire series. YOu can read it as a standalone but I recommend reading the series.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.

Good Ending to a long mystery
I have read other books by this author that I truly loved. This was not one of them. There was a lot of repetitive information. A couple of times she explained how each of the Brooklyn K-9 members met their significant other. This story is about Sasha and Bradley. Sasha has a stalker and what's scary about this stalker he look like the twin of the man that killed her mother 18 years ago. It's couldn't be him he was deceased. Bradley was the K-9 officer that had chased this guy twice. On top of trying to keep Sasha safe he was also trying to solve the Emery's murder which two place on the 20 anniversary of his parents murder. This story has a stalker, attempted murder, kidnapping, car bomb, and finally a closed case. Bradley and Sasha both open their hearts up to love.

When human interest journalist Sasha Eastman is threatened by a man who looks strikingly like her mother's murderer, even though he was caught 20 years ago, Detective Bradley McGregor and his K-9, King, step up to protect her.
A fast paced K-9 adventure that wraps up the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn Series. A quick read, filled with action, mystery and adventure. Because I had read the previous books in the series, the parts that were a continuation of the story thread running throughout the series, felt a little repetitive because of recapping.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read, with good protagonists, faith, and plenty of action.

Loved this installment of the True Blue K-9 Unit:!Brooklyn series. The Emery murders remained unsolved until Sasha Eastman comes on the scene.

Bradley and King become her bodyguards and the three of them work together to arrest her stalker.
Sasha decides to do some investigating on the Emery case. She learns that the neighbor across the street is the murderer and he knows that she knows. Now she is in danger again.
Read to see how things get resolved.

What a great ending to this continuity series! Shirlee McCoy did a superb job of tying the mysteries together and producing an action packed, exciting conclusion! Det. Bradley McGregor has raised his sister Penny, from birth, as his neglectful parents were murdered twenty years ago. He has had to live down having been falsely accused of their murders. Sasha Eastman has a stalker that looks just like the man who murdered her mother 18 years ago. It can’t be the same man as he was killed by the police. She knows she isn’t crazy when the stalker shoots through a bakery window at her, with Det. McGregor and his K-9 partner, King, right there at the time! This is a page turner you don’t want to miss.

The last book from this series...so I'm super excited and soooo ready to get all the answers and this book totally delivered, it's a perfect ending. It has perfect amount of suspense and romance, perfect amount of sweetness and thrill, the twist and turns, the danger in every corner, yup it's a page-turner and once I read I just can't stop. I just want more and more, it's so sad it felt too fast for me, that it's finally over, I'm a big fan of the troops and their K-9 partner,
Totally recommended for everyone who's looking for a light suspense romance read and definitely a MUST-READ for Harlequin Love Inspired Suspense fans.
