K-9 Ranch Protection by Darlene L. Turner is an engaging and suspenseful tale. I thought the characters were developed and relatable. I enjoyed getting to know Izzy, Austin, and Neve. Neve is an Alaskan malamute that belongs to Austin but takes an instant liking to Izzy. Izzy is an intelligent, determined, and courageous woman. Austin is protective, caring, and smart. I am amazed at the skills that dogs can learn. They are clever as well as lovable. I enjoyed all the action which kept things lively. I had a good time solving the whodunit. Unraveling her father’s murder was emotional for Izzy plus she had to deal with her frosty sister. I like how faith was incorporated into the story. While K-9 Ranch Protection is the sixth book in the Crisis Rescue Team series, it can easily be read as a standalone. K-9 Ranch Protection is an action-packed tale that will have you up late turning the pages.

I received this book as an ARC with no expectations of a positive review. I loved this story of police constable Izzy Tremblay, Austin and Neve, an Alaskan malamute. Izzy is certain that her father's death was not a heart attack. She is determined to find the truth. She was told by everyone to drop it. She could not. The stations computers where hacked telling her to stop. Follow the story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a must read for all suspense fans.

Constable Izzy Tremblay finds evidence that her father’s death was murder and in following up on her discovery, she is attacked and loses three hours of her memory. Regardless of her new disability, Izzy remains determined to track down her father’s killer and to stop a drug trafficking ring that is getting more active in her jurisdiction. Unfortunately, the killer knows who she is and repeated threats lead her to take refuge with her former boyfriend Austin Murray, the owner and trainer at a local K-9 ranch. The action is sharp and edgy while the pace is fast-moving. The plot is intriguing and complex enough that it kept me engaged and guessing the entire time. This is a compelling and relevant story that drew me immediately into the action as I was invested in Izzy’s finding the truth as well as the developing attraction between her and Austin. I especially liked getting to know Austin’s well-trained and resourceful dogs. Nèvé, the malamute, was the star of the book with her intuitive sense of impending danger and her loyalty to Austin and Izzy. With the author’s signature style of captivating the reader from beginning to end, this is a must-read, riveting book of suspense with some delightful romance added.
