K-9 Trilogy #2
Keeping her safe at all costs
Could their backgrounds be any more different? Rick Vasquez, a K-9 unit sergeant with the San Diego Police Department, fled drug-related violence in Mexico as a boy. Madison Long, who recently became primary veterinarian to the SDPD's canines, is the privileged daughter of a judge. Rick has dedicated his life to curtailing cross-border drug trafficking and preventing other young boys from being drawn into the dark world of the cartels.
But everything Rick and Madison value, and the growing love between them, is threatened by the dangers of Rick's job, and the risks he's determined to take…
My Thoughts
When Love Matters Most is a story that touches the reader so closely that this book was so easy to fall in love with. I really like the characters because of their heartwarming personality. Rick Vasquez was a dedicated sergeant with a really painful past. It was truly sad to know someone so young have to experience with something with full of nightmare.
When his friend's dog got injured, he got into a protective mode and he found a beautiful replacement instead of the usual vet in SDPD clinic. He was a bit rude to Madison Long but luckily everything was alright afterwards after his apology.
When they got attracted to each other, Rick realized that their relationship might endanger Madison's life. Not only that, their values are different that it caused some strain.
I really like this story with all of the value that was instilled through. I enjoyed reading it until the end and it was a great book.
A must read!!!
