Review – Bound by Duty

August 14, 2018 By The Suspense Zone Leave a Comment

Back cover:
Assignment: Single Mom Surveillance

The Military K-9 Unit series continues

Her serial killer brother’s escaped—and it’s single mom Zoe Sullivan who’s under suspicion! Sgt. Linc Colson trusts two things: his instincts and his Rottweiler K-9 partner, Star—and certainly not the pretty face he’s assigned to monitor. He’s done everything to keep her from getting under his skin—now he must stop those who want to put her six feet under.

My thoughts: Bound by Duty is a great romantic suspense set on an Air Force base. They do use a lot of terminology that I wasn’t familiar with not being an airman (or ex-military) but I could figure it out. This is obviously part of a K-9 series as other dogs and handlers are mentioned and I’m guessing they will show up in other books in the series.

I enjoyed getting to know the dog, Star, the handler, Linc, and Zoe — I felt kind of sorry for her assigned a guard because her half-brother is a murderer so therefore she is suspect, but it was good because clearly someone was after her. I also liked her sweet little boy, Freddie.

I had a suspicion “who-dun-it” but not why. And I was partially right on the “who”. I had to keep ready to the end to find out why.

If you like romantic suspense, you will love Bound by Duty. Other books in the series are:

Mission to Protect – Terri Reed
Bound by Duty – Valerie Hansen
Top Secret Target – Dana Mentink
Standing Fast – Maggie K. Black
Rescue Operation – Lenora Worth
Explosive Force – Lynette Eason
Battle Tested – Laura Scott
Valiant Defender – Shirlee McCoy
Military K-9 Christmas – Valerie Hansen and Laura Scott
