Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author presents a riveting novel where a canine search and rescue volunteer fights danger and finds love in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.

To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life-a quaint house on an island off Seattle's coast, a thriving dog-training school, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search and rescues. Not to mention her three intensely loyal Labs. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare...

Several years ago, Fiona was the only survivor of the Red Scarf serial killer, who shot and killed Fiona's cop fiancé and his K-9 partner.

On Orcas Island, Fiona found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. But all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. He's the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Jaws has eaten through Simon's house, and he's at his wit's end.

To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can't handle. Simon, however, is another matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he's a rugged and in-tensely private artist, known for the exquisite furniture he creates from wood. Simon never wanted a puppy-and he most definitely doesn't want a woman. Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. But tell that to his hormones.

As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona's life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Roberts is a good storyteller...
BUT.There's too much gratuitous, blatant sex, vile language, and taking the Lord's name in vain.For goodness sake, Ms. Roberts, your storytelling ability is really captivating (I loved every single word about the dogs and dog-training; I loved the characters... they were believable to me even if not to some of the reviewers) and it boggles my mind that you think it necessary to rob such a good story and mesmerizing characters of all their potential for class and dignity and honor.Our culture ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must read
As always you can not go wrong with Nora Roberts.Make sure you have time to read when you start this book because you wont want to put it down.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Romance, suspense and dogs too!
I read this on my Kindle, and it was the first Nora Roberts book I've experienced. I enjoyed it very much! What drew me to the story was the fact that it was a modern romance and that the story included dogs. I am an animal lover, what can I say? It took a little bit for the story to develop, but once it unfolded I had a hard time putting it down. Taking place in the San Juan Islands of Washington state, Fiona is haunted by the memory of a killer that nearly took her life, eight years prior. The serial ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing...
I found it really telling that it took me so long to finish this book.With a really engrossing book (action, characters, descriptions, research, etc) I can't put it down, and if I have to, I run back to it when I have a free moment.Not so with this book...it took me weeks to finish because it just didn't hold my attention.

Other reviewers found the dog sections overdone.I actually enjoyed that, but I am a dog person.I didn't like Simon and found it hard to believe Fiona would, being ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not her best
I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I love Nora, and really appreciate her stories that have an actual story line and not just 2 people meet, fall in love... This book has a great storyline. The problem I found is that it was awkward. Some of the things the characters say just didn't make sense. I don't know if it was a new style of writing, or if it just wasn't edited well, but it was confusing. I'd have to stop and read the sentence a few times before I figured out what they were talking about. The ... Read More
