Review: Serve 'N' Protect

Serve 'N' Protect by Tee O'Fallon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

External Scars may be easier to heal from than inner scars

This is the fifth book in Tee O'Fallon's Federal K-9 series of interconnected standalones. Books don't need to be read in order and are true standalones.

I love that the service dogs are an additional character in these books. Ghost in Serve 'N' Protect is absolutely adorable and courageous. His interactions with Cassidy, and even Markus, not only endears him to the reader but also helps showcase the MCs personality.

While Cassidy has physical scars from an accident a year earlier and is just putting the end of her relationship behind her, Markus is recuperating from an attempt on his life and is not interested in any relationship due to his childhood emotional scars. Cassidy is warm and caring, with a good dose of done-to-earth. Markus is more guarded and it was fun reading about the interactions these characters have.

The book is a slow burn romance. The suspense elements were good, but I did think that some angles should have been explored earlier in the story. As such, elements around Markus was resolved almost too quickly without a better build-up, and those related to Cassidy was too drawn out and became boring.

I received a copy of this book from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My Opinions are my own
