    Customer Reviews

    Awesome!I loved this book. It just flows effortlessly with brilliantly rounded characters and an incredible plot. Fiona barely escaped a serial killer and then had to piece her life back together with the help of her new passion; dog training and dog search and rescue. Add a sexy, surly neighbor who is determined not to get involved, but can't seem to help being attracted to the fiercely independent Fiona and you have a steamy romance waiting to happen. Unfortunately, a copycat killer is on the loose and seems determined to hunt down Fiona. I couldn't put this book down! Two thumbs up!! 5I love Nora RobertsI love Nora Roberts. I love her characters and her storylines. In the book, I was enthralled with the work of Search and Rescue teams. Learned alot about what they do, how they are trained, and the heart and soul of the trainers. Do so recommend this book if you are a Nora Roberts fan. 5It's Nora Roberts, so it's never goign to be BAD...And a lot of what makes a Nora Roberts book great is present here: Great & believable dialogue, amazing world building, incredible research (this time it's dog training and search and rescue), an intriguing mystery, and of course romance. What is hugely lacking: LIKABLE CHARACTERS! I could not stand Fiona and Simon, our apparently lovers. they are SO rude and mean to each other, and it completely not in their nature (as written) to fall for each other. they keep saying their not each other's type, but that doesn't make the fact they disregard abhorrent behaviors and all of a sudden find things they dislike to be attractive. There is no reasoning for the change in their likes to such an extreme degree. I honestly found Simon to be such a jerk and disliked Fiona more and more with how she let him talk to her and get away with. I actually checked the publish date, thinking I had somehow stumbled across a older book republished, when this kind of machismo was standard. Even after establishing this wasn't a relic from the 80's entries of NR's books, I couldn't get over the lingering feeling of outdated romance. 3Dog lovers, you'll love this book!!!The Search is still my all-time favorite novel by this author. I read it at least once a year. And if you are a dog lover this is a BOOK I would recommend you to read!!I should start by mentioning that I always wanted a dog, but unfortunately it hasn t happened yet. But every time I read this book, my desire of wanting a dog goes through the roof. Just be warned lol!Fiona Bristow, dog trainer extraordinaire, who survived a kidnapping years ago, finally lives a peaceful and content life on Orca island north of Seattle. She is a kick ass heroine, busy training dogs and with this I-can-do-it-myself attitude but also has a good head on her shoulders.Simon, a grumpy, taciturn, and blunt hunk of a wood artist, and new owner of an energetic puppy, is in dire need of help which Fiona can provide. They meet under not the best circumstances. Simon s puppy just ate the head rest in his new truck and all he wants is HELP or one of her dogs in exchange for his misbehaving puppy!!!When Fiona, an independent and strong female collides with Simon, socially stunted and cynical it gets quickly interesting. Even so they are different in disposition it s surprising how well they compliment each other. And that s mostly because both respect boundaries, and each other s way of living. Although neither expected this kind of change in status quo, Fiona is game, whereas Simon is the one that takes a little longer to accept what s happening.The relationship between them starts slowly, Jaw the puppy is the glue that brings them together, but their individual personalities is what draws them closer. I love the slow burn, and love how their relationship grows with mutual interest, attraction but also moves along naturally.The book had a whole cast of interesting secondary characters, human and canine. The search and rescue portion of the book was incredibly detailed and full of fascinating information. It s one aspect that always stands out in a NR novel the details and deeply researched topics.I believe this book would be a perfect and enjoyable read for any dog-lover and owner. 5If you love good dialogue and fleshed out characters - this is a book for you.How did I miss this book when it was published? I'm not sure, but I'm sorry I did. The story is very good, the pace is steady but exciting, the background story about Search and Rescue dogs was fascinating - all good elements, but for me the dialogue between the characters tipped the scale over into "Outstanding!". A previous reviewer who thought the male lead character was "terrible" missed the point, missed the personalities, missed the mark on evaluation it all. The characters were complex and their interaction was terrific. I have rarely (if ever) read better dialogue between characters. Even the background characters and stories were excellent. There is no need for me to go through the plot (others have done a great job of that); but take my word, if you REALLY like stories about people more than stories about plots, this is the book for you. (The excellent plot is just "frosting on the cake"). Read it. 5Fabulous BookI give this book a 5 star because, as always, Nora adds all the elements of a great story into every book she writes. This story will pull you in and make you feel like you're part of the story. It has sadness, humor, romance, fun, fear, and hope all rolled into one great story. As with all Nora's books, I read them a second and sometimes third time over the years before I pass them on. 5A favorite to go back and read againOne of my absolute favorite books. I ve actually read it several times. The search and rescue component was interesting and original. I m an animal lover, so I loved reading about the dogs - especially Jaws. Fiona is a wonderful character, and well developed. Although she survived something traumatic, she has worked hard to build her own corner of normal. She has friends and family (Sylvia is a hoot!) that genuinely respect and care for her, and she is a wonderful blend of quirky and responsible. The thriller portion was just the right level of creepy, and I absolutely loved the ending. 5Great suspense, great characters, edgy romance and fast-paced story!I love this story! As with most of Nora Roberts characters, these are folks you can like and respect, so you truly enjoy the journey with them to their HEA. The chemistry between Fiona and Simon is fabulous, as is their interaction with their dogs. Well researched and fun doggy stuff. Great suspense. A winner all the way! This is a 2010 release that I missed when it first came out. I enjoyed it so much that I reread it again as soon as I finished it. It will remain on my keeper shelf, one of my old friends that I ll revisit when I need a comfort story. Enjoy! 5All you need is Search and Rescue"I have started to reread all of Nora Robert's books from the beginning of her career til now and I must say no wonder I have followed her all these years! I recently rescued a puppy anf everything that happened to Simon with his new best friend has happened to me and more. I actually tried some of the teachings Fee instructed her students and guess what? working!!! Niw to thestory. Fee was the lone survivor of a serial killer many years ago. Not a day goes by that she isn't reminded of that. Leading a new life as a dog trainer and search and rescue participant , her life is full. Or she thought. Meet Simon, her next door neighbor who comes to her for help with his new puppy. Opposites do attract and before long they are more than teacher/student.Unfortunately, a copycat serial killer is making his mark and Fee is hisultimate goal.Can the FBI catch him before it's too late? Read and find out...., 4Not lost, but certainly foundI've read this several times. It's one of the best of the author's books in recent years, and it's like romantic suspense comfort food. You know in advance that all obstacles will be overcome, the heroine will be strong, the hero likewise, and there will be a happy-ever-after, complete with some witty dialogue and sizzling sex along the way. In some ways, the author is a careless writer. She telegraphs a lot of the plot, and an intelligent reader can tell what's going to happen and when. But it's a fun read - well, if you don't mind a couple of serial killers with their warped agendas.Fiona Bristow trains dogs, including Search and Rescue, and she's part of an S&R team. She lives on a remote island off the coast of Washington, and has loyal and devoted friends and family (I'm including her three dogs as part of that family). Simon Doyle has recently moved to the island and his mother has foisted an untrained puppy upon him. Naturally, he brings Jaws, as the voracious pup is named, to Fiona for training. Simon is one of those rough heroes. No tender words, a surly expression, a cranky attitude, and an unwillingness to fall for Fiona, even as he falls hard and fast.Along comes a serial killer, and the rest is the usual storyline. Since I've read this several times, I've long lost interest in that part of the book and skim it to get back to the banter and developing relationship between Fiona and Simon. This is a very enjoyable book, and if you haven't encountered the author before, I do recommend it. 5
