Trinket Bay K9 Mysteries #3
A Twist in the Tail
With his integrity questioned, and her heart on the line, can two officers prove love and duty can co-exist?
After a devastating experience, former professional ballroom dancer turned K9 officer, Senior Constable Ashlee (Ash) Rogers traded glamour and promenades for guns and patrols. Now she maintains a tough exterior and keeps everyone at a safe distance. A task which proves difficult when a fellow officer at her new posting tempts her suppressed femininity.
First Constable Dermott McClane's brutal injury in the line of duty has left him with a growing dependency on painkillers he's desperate to shake. When the attractive new police officer who's been assigned to his police station arrives, she sparks another craving. She's more challenging than his determination to return to full duties. But Dermott is hiding a secret. One with devastating consequences should it be revealed.
With a suspected overdose victim in the hospital morgue, and potential sellers looking to score their next hit, sparks fly as Ash and Dermott work together to solve the case. An anonymous tip off about missing drugs leads Ash, with the help of her patrol dog, to believe someone's messing with the evidence. The clues aren't adding up, and her instincts tell her to keep investigating, even if it leads to her fellow officer, the one man who has her heart dancing and her desire soaring.
Can Ash discover McClane's secret and solve the case? Or is he about to tango with her heart?

What a great read. The tension is there from the start, both in the mystery of the storyline and between our two strong minded cops. And the beautiful Goose, alias, Belgian Shepherd is so devoted, clever and cute, he almost steals the show. Added to it the expert descriptions of the setting for Trinket Bay and DD Line has produced another winner.

Ash and her canine partner Goose are determined to solve the latest crime in Trinket Bay, but a case of mistaken identity gets her off on the wrong foot with fellow police officer Dermott. As they work the case, they grow closer to each other even when they shouldn't. A fabulous third installment in a series of stories with twists and turns, romance, and suspense.

A great addition to the Trinket Bay series
A cop with a secret, a constable with a past, a dog with attitude and a misidentification has this novel off to a cracking start. With twists and turns this romantic suspense had me guessing, and watching the hero and heroine fall for each other, even though they were determined not to. A great addition to the Trinket Bay series.

Story was good. Suspense and danger for these two characters who were a little broken. Together they made a great team. Will the secrets he is hiding be the down fall to everything they have worked for? I had no issues with starting the series from the third book.
