When a secret government experiment gone wrong, a genetically enhanced super soldier with psychic powers and nano-chip technology goes rogue, another genetically enhanced super soldier with psi-powers sent to protect the bait. The bait? SInce this is a romance, of course the bait is the second soldier's secret weakness, a childhood companion, and completely oblivious to his attraction - although she's attracted to him. Wolfe may be determined to keep canine trainer extraordinaire Kit and her very special (also genetically enhanced, although she's clueless) Labrador (lab, get it?) Retriever puppies safe and keep his own hands off, but Kit has other ideas.

Of course, since making Kit an equal partner in all of this, and actually having her do something realistic with the dogs would have required a bit more work, Kit gets to have rheumatoid arthritis, and the dogs get to be completely unrealistic.

This was so bad it almost hurt to read it. I kept picking it back up to see what fascinatingly trite and cliched element was going to appear next. Disappointing. ( )

Kit O’Halloran is a dog trainer, and we’re not talking obedience school but highly trained military and police service dogs that are smarter than some people I’ve met, and special in ways that even Kit doesn’t know.

Wolfe Houston is part of a top-secret government project to alter the mental abilities of its elite warriors. When one of them escapes, Wolfe is sent to protect the one thing that they’re sure the rogue is after - Kit and her dogs.

Now Wolfe is back to where it all began, watching over his best friend’s little sister - a woman who grew up to be an intelligent, brave, and beautiful woman while he was away. And Kit is stuck trying to resist the man she’s loved since she was twelve years old. But the threat of danger and the lure of temptation is too much, and maybe it’s up to these smart pups to save the day!

This was a fun military romance. I don’t want to go so far as to say it was paranormal, but the hero and the villain did have advance mental powers - a psi talent. The romance was cute, the lines were funny, and I adored Ishmael “Izzy” Teague - a techy, sexy, reoccurring character of Skye’s - who was so much more than just a supporting character. The dogs were also characters in their own right which gave it that extra touch. This was a quick read with a happy ending - what more can you ask for!

A good, solid contemporary romance read with a military hero. Well written and 3 dimensional characters. I don't like it as much as I did her Draycott Abbey series, but it was worth spending some time on. I've read MUCH worse. :) ( )

This book was great. The story line was funny. I truly enjoyed this romance and adventure. I read this about two summers ago. I remembered it so well that i plan to read the rest of the series. ( )
