Rising Danger Book Review

Book Description

It’s up to a K-9 handler and her canine partner to stop a bomber before it’s too late.

Someone’s planting explosives on dams in the Twin Cities, and Bristol Bachmann and her bomb-sniffing dog must move quickly to find them before everything ends up underwater. That means relying on the dams’ supervisor—an ex-boyfriend Bristol never thought she’d see again. Hopefully Remington Jones has grown up from the rakish charmer she knew in her academy days. Because lives now depend entirely on them…

It’s an environmental terrorist who wants the dams gone, and his bid to set the waters free has lethal consequences. When he sees Bristol and her K-9 working to stop him, he sets his sights on them. Can they evade him in a lethal game of cat and mouse and protect the cities from devastating destruction before the clock runs out?

My Thoughts

Hold on to your seats, because Rising Danger is going to take you for a ride that you don’t want to end!

This suspenseful tale is full of twists and turns as Bristol and Remington try to stop a terrorist from blowing up dams along the Mississippi River. Bristol’s K-9 sidekick, Toby, is her highly trained, bomb sniffing dog and he calmly steals the show on more than one occasion.

Both Bristol and Remington have a need to be in control, although at varying degrees. Bristol has zero faith in God as she believes he allowed her father and sister to perish in Hurricane Katrina. Remington’s failures at the policy academy and subsequent rejection from his father have him wanting to prove his worth to Bristol as they try to take down this terrorist together.

While this definitely fits the bill for romantic suspense, I enjoyed the romantic elements more. The majority of the suspense occurred in the last few chapters, but once I got there, I loved it just as much! I was so proud of Remington for his approach to Bristol in regards to their relationship. No spoilers here, but those portions alone were some of the most well-written in the entire book.

There were several secondary characters, most of them members of the Phoenix K-9 squad that I believe will be featured in future stories. These ladies and their doggies have many more adventures and bad guys to hunt down, I know!
