Blurb: Child Psychologist Kerry Sutherland’s life gets turned upside down with a phone call. His sister is gone and his two nephews need him. Rushing from Seattle to Olympia, he finds the boys in shock and the police everywhere. Even the dog is affected. The only eventual bright spot in the mess is the detective handling the case, who it turns out not only truly wants to find out what happens, but awakens Kerry’s heart in a way he never thought possible.

THOUGHTS: This was an enjoyable, quick read. In this one, the main character, Kerry, is a child psychologist with a sister and two nephews. When his sister is murdered, he has to step in and help the youngsters deal with their loss, while also dealing with his own. It gets even more serious when they realize the 6-year-old actually saw the murder and the dog, Pebbles, got a piece of the killer when he bit him. Enter Brian, the cop assigned to the case. With Kerry’s help, they figure out who the killer is and take him down. Meanwhile, the two men fight their attraction, but eventually give in and let romance take over.

A quick read with a satisfying HEA ending.

Recommended.
