Terrific book that sucked me in from the first page and kept me hooked to the end. I love stories with K-9s and their partners; this series has been excellent. The book opens as Brady and his K-9 partner, Winnie, arrive at the training academy for a celebration. Just as he gets Winnie out of his vehicle, he draws the attention of a little girl named Jilly. She is fascinated by Winnie, who returns the attention. The next moment, Jilly's mother, Cassie, is frantically calling her name. I liked that Cassie and Brady turned the encounter into a teachable moment regarding working dogs without stomping on Jilly's enthusiasm. Brady also meets Jilly's older sister Brook and follows the three into the academy grounds. Brady is intrigued by Cassie but isn't looking for the complications of getting involved. But when the two girls disappear during the fun, Brady and Winnie are front and center of the search.
I could feel Cassie's fear, especially when they discovered the girls had left with an unknown man. I could feel Brady and Winnie's determination to find them and their frustration when the trail went cold. I loved Brady's kindness and empathy with Cassie as they worked to figure out who took them. It didn't take long for Cassie to produce the logical suspect. I laughed out loud at her confrontation with Brady the following day as she insisted on going along when the search resumed. The search scenes were intense, and while the girls were found safe, the kidnapper got away.
I loved seeing the relationship develop between Brady and Cassie. He feels very protective of the three of them and invites them to stay at his house to keep them safe. Seeing the little girls wiggle their way into his heart and his life was fun. It doesn't take long for him to feel like they are a family and to wonder if it is possible. Cassie is a little warier, having had two disastrous relationships, but it doesn't take long for her to trust Brady. There are some sweet scenes of the two together as they get to know each other. There are a couple of clashes as Brady's protectiveness runs up against Cassie's independence, but they handle them with communication rather than hurt feelings. When everything is over, they must decide if what they feel results from the circumstances or their feelings for each other are real. I loved the ending, especially the two girls' reactions.
The suspense was terrific and kept me reading well past my bedtime. Cassie could not shake the man who wouldn't take no for an answer. His mind games were disturbing, but with Brady's help, Cassie could be more mad than scared. As the threats escalated, I could feel their frustration at not being able to find the guy. The final confrontation was intense. Winnie was amazing, and Brady arrived at the perfect time. My favorite part was seeing Cassie tear into her stalker - don't mess with mama bear's cubs!

This story hooked me from the start! I'm a sucker for books with dogs in them, but Winnie is the very best girl of them all. In this action-packed thrill ride, Wells does a phenomenal job giving the reader an inside look at the life of a police dog and her partner.
The stakes are high, and there's never a dull moment. At its heart, this book features two love stories--the one between Brady and his loyal K-9, and the Whitaker girls who can't help but fall for the duo. Who can blame them?
Loved every moment of this one, and I'm sure you will too!

Foothills Field Search kept me up past bedtime! I've always been a Maggie Wells fan, as her writing pulls me in and makes me forget I'm reading a book. Cassie and Brady are complex, interesting characters, and Winnie is such a great dog! The intriguing plot is well executed. 100% recommend!

Exciting with cute kids and great dogs too!
Cassie is at a party in Jasper when her 2 girls Brook and Jilly went missing. Brady and his search and rescue dog Winnie go looking for them. After they are found, Cassie and the girls need to hide from a stalker. Can Brady and Winnie keep them all safe and find the stalker to put him away? Read this to find out! This is book 3. You can read this story on its own,but you will get much more out of it if you read them all in order.
The pace is fast and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with character and action oriented storyline that has some kisses but no steam. The characters are vibrant and endearing. The kids and Winnie are as big a part of the story as Cassie and Brady and I love that! Enjoy!

Great read!
Just enough suspense plus Winnie the K9 SAR lab, that both has the knack of a therapy dog, understanding human emotions plus the ability to search, rescue and help apprehend the crazed man following Cassie and her 2 young daughters to Jasper.
An ex bf starts to stalk Cassie and kidnaps her girls from a huge party at the Canine training facility. He leaves them alone in the woods til Winnie finds them, but the ex is not finished trying to get to Cassie and bring her "home". You will want to read til the end in 1 sitting!

This is a fantastic mystery. Like any mother, our children are the most important thing in our lives. When Cassie's children are kidnapped, she is frantic to find them. But when Brady and his K9, Winnie, jump in to help, her stress eases a little.
I love K9 stories and hoped Winnie was as good at finding the girls as she needed to be.
Suspense fans will enjoy this book.

Brady really didn’t know how lonely he was til he offered to house a family of giggly girls! The chaos is welcome but the danger is still following the girls. It’s their mom the stalker is after and Officer Winnie is helping sniff out the bad guy. Will the officers keep the girls safe or will the mom get the job?

Much better than the first two
I have always been afraid of the Dentist and then find maybe I have good reason. Not all Dentist are good. This one was down right bad. Read for yourself.. just how bad a Dentist can become when he’s not thinking straight.

... 5 stelle alla cagna! Adorabile! Bella storia, con personaggi che si fanno amare (a parte il vice del capo della polizia).

“I’ve never run willy-nilly in my entire life.”
A sweet HEA in the K9s on Patrol series with just the right amount of danger thrown considering two of the main characters are children. Well done!
