Lawfully Heroic: Inspirational K9 Contemporary Romance Novel - Perfect for Dog Lovers & Law Enforcement Romance Readers

I enjoyed this clean Christian based story that is an addition to the contemporary Lawkeepers series and also a military police story. There is a great cast of characters along with two special people and some of their personal issues that will have an attraction but at a disadvantage. This story has strong moral principals without being preachy. Each story in the Lawkeepers series will read as a stand-alone.While this is a great addition to the Lawkeepers series, it will segue into a new series that will be released later this month as Disaster City Search and Rescue.Adam Reynolds is a K-9 handler with the US Army, and along with his dog, Valor works at the checkpoints on base. He has applied for an academy in Texas for additional training, and with it, hopes to be reassigned in a hot zone overseas.Disaster City Search and Rescue trains men and women for just that, disaster situation, search and rescue, and even bomb and explosive detection. Only one female instructor, Clara Burnette, is a decorated instructor with her K-9, Rebel.The plot will have Adam and his K-9 applying and being accepted at DCSRA, along with 59 other recruits. The training is a month-long and very extensive. Approximately one-third of the class will voluntarily quit, another third will barely squeak by, and the final third will flourish. It doesn’t take long for Adam and Valor to prove to what level of commitment he has and how well he works with his K-9. The only downside to the school is his attraction to his instructor.“It was physical proof that dreams really could come true.”The story takes the reader on the journey of training and teamwork between human and K-9 as they must navigate obstacles, traps, and danger during their time at DCSRA. Adam and Valor prove to be a well-suited team, and his aptitude to stay abreast of the dangers and how the enemy tries to cover them up pushes him to the top of his class. He doesn’t enter the training with a chip on his shoulder or cocky attitude, but with the hopes of bettering himself and having a second chance overseas in a hot-zone.While an attraction has formed between Instructor Clara Burnette and Trainee Adam Reynolds, this isn’t so much a love story as a story of determination and commitment, that will lead to the future. What will happen at the end of the one-month training? Adam will return to his Army base in Colorado, and Clara will still be in Texas training new recruits. Long distant relationships don’t work—but has God heard Adam’s prayers and has the answer? When we learn to trust God and allow him to lead, prayers are answered.I look forward to the new series and have already pre-ordered many of the books.
