RUN TO GROUND by Katie Ruggle will keep you on your toes
from the very first
chapter. I was really looking forward to getting my hands on
this
book after reading Katie Ruggle's Search and Rescue series. It is
the first in Ruggle's new Rocky Mountain K9 Unit
series.
It took me a while to warm up to Theo. He comes off as moody
and somewhat rude at first. I completely understand why he
was acting that way. After losing both a K9 partner and
fellow officer I would probably be moody as well. I feel
like you really start to understand Theo after he
is placed with Viggy, his fellow fallen officer's K9 and now
his new partner. When he meets Jules he knows that
something is off right away, but he is mesmorized by her and
her family and can't seem to stay away.
Jules is a fierce
warrior. When her and her four half-siblings are being
abused, she risks everything to protect them and take them
away. She flees to a small town in Colorado and works at
the local diner as a waitress. The relationship between
Jules and her siblings is amazing. Even when Theo enters
the picture she never once leaves her family out. She knows
the risks that her relationship with Theo can have on them
and at the same time she knows that she can trust Theo with
her families lives. Together they help each other heal and
move on.
The storyline of RUN TO GROUND was amazing! I never once
felt like we were
being jumped from one event to another. There are a few
flashbacks, but they run really smoothly with the story. I
absolutely loved Theo and Jules together. They really
complimented each other well. The suspense had me on the
edge of my seat. I do hope that some of the questions left
open are answered in the next book. I have a feeling that
this is just the beginning to another great series by Katie
Ruggle.
He lost his mentor. He lost his K9 partner. He almost lost his will to live. But when a ruthless killer targets a woman on the run, Theo and his new K9 companion will do whatever it takes to survive—and save the woman neither can live without. Grieving the death of his partner, Theo Bosco has no room in his life for distractions. Though his instincts scream that he should avoid Juliet 'Jules' Jackson, he can't seem to stay away. It doesn't help that Theo's new K9 companion has fallen head over paws with Jules's rambunctious family. Or that when he's with her, Theo finally knows peace. When Jules rescued her siblings, whisking them away to the safety of the beautifully rugged Colorado Rockies, she never expected to catch the eye—or the heart—of a cop. Yet as Jules struggles to fight her growing attraction to the brooding K9 officer, another threat lurks much closer to home...
