Publisher's summary

A small town sheriff running from her past learns to love again in the first book in K-9 Defenders, a suspenseful new romance series from award-winning author Sandra Owens.

Every small town has its secrets…

Chief of police Tristan Church likes Marsville just the way it is. He has his job and his police dog, Fuzz, for company. He could have Sheriff Skylar Morgan, too, but she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length, even if the one night they shared was unforgettable.

Skylar can’t deny that the connection she has with Tristan is unlike anything she’s ever felt before. She loves Marsville, but while most of the town is happy with her as Sheriff, it’s been a long, hard road proving herself. Dating the town’s beloved police chief is the last thing her reputation needs—even if it’s exactly what her heart wants.

But when their sleepy little town is suddenly full of dangers, it’s clear that someone is targeting Skylar. She and Tristan must work together to find the culprit…and as the threat against her grows, so does the intimacy between them. With their lives on the line, can they trust their hearts not to break?

Rated R

Good story, the narrator was very good. The sex did not add anything to the book. Matter of fact just fast forward to story.

K-9 Super dogs!

I enjoyed all 3 books of the series. So filled with intrigue and suspense. I will enjoy rereading them again and sharing them with my avid book reading friends.

The Blue Line

Loved the Story…romance and Hot Cops…but I want to say for those like me who don’t want descriptive sex for their listening pleasure prepare to Fast-forward!! All Else was Great!!!

Love this new series!

This is book one of a new series, K-9 DEFENDERS, written by Sandra Owens. I loved the storyline and characters of this world she has created. It's a enemies-to-lovers (?), small-town, fun but serious, romance.

Although this is an excellent standalone, I absolutely can't wait for the brother's stories!! Especially Parker's. I really want to know more about him and Everly, his adorably sweet daughter.

I changed my mind several times regarding who was after Skye. Great suspense.

Tristan made my heart thump. He's so wise and patient. He's the oldest brother who cared for this two younger brothers. It completely pulled at my heart. My heart actually physically ached for him throughout, until it didn't. I liked Skye. She just had major trust issues. Loved their dialog. It felt so real. Their HEA made me melt.

I can't not mention the quirky character's Miss Mabel and Earl. The way Tristan handled those two made me laugh as well as warmed my heart.

This was a suspenseful but warm romance. Sandra Owens remains a favorite author of mine. I not only read her books, I listen to them. So worth your time and money.

Patrick Zeller is a great narrator. He voices all characters well. His voice is so easy to listen to for longer periods of time. Excellent performance.

Engaging story - Excellent narration

Although the bad guys were patently obvious, the relationship between the H and h pulled you in. With the great narrator, it was a good listen!

I think this is part one of a 3 brothers saga. Yeah!

Loved the family aspect and the positive affection they all had for each other. Even the townspeople were part of that for the most part. Good story.

Suspense, romance, very good performance

This book has an interesting set of characters that are well developed as the story progresses. It has a slow but steady pace in the beginning with more action towards the end. I love the dog. It is an enjoyable book. The performance is very good except for the little girl's voice. I look forward to more in this series.

Cute story

Cute story about two people who are falling in love while facing a very dangerous situation.

Excellent Series

I have always loved stories with animals and the people who loved them. I will recommend this book and series to anyone and hope there will be more. Thank You.

In his Protection

This is my favorite book by Sandra Owens so far. Not a slow book the story flows very well. It is suspenseful and leaves you wanting more.
