"A cop his K9 partner and one lucky lady"

Fresh Fiction Review

Trouble Walks In

Ronan McGuire has a reputation for being a love 'em and leave 'em guy. Truth is, he's good at his job and loves his partner, K-9 hound, Bowser and, oh yes, there's the one woman that didn't fall at his feet. He's always had a thing for Maddy Morgan, but the timing was wrong. Maddy had belonged to Rick while living in their home town of Old Brookfield. Rick, a firefighter, died doing what he loved and Maddy moved to New York and closed herself off. Ronan is a big city K-9 cop who has limited himself to a friendship with Maddy. His heart wants more, but hers is frozen. Can he thaw it by being her partner in the wedding back home that they both must attend? And can he keep her safe from the killer who seems to be striking out at real estate salespeople? I loved the tenacity of Ronan trying to move forward with Maddy. And I felt for Maddy who even though she comes off as tough and secure, you can see that she is missing out on life and things she really wants. They do an amazing if not frustrating dance—you know step forward and then jump back. My favorite line that had me burst out laughing and sums up Ronan's confusion was, "I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my a$$." Luckily he figures it out. What also tickled me was how and when the revelation of what this couple was feeling hit them individually, and how Ronan, who admitted it first, worried when there were no words forthcoming from Maddy. If you are looking for a feel good, second chance at love while adding in a good bit of soul searching with some mixed messages from both of the parties in question and sometimes sage advice that might have been better if it had been ignored, then TROUBLE WALKS IN will fit the bill. Be prepared to run the gambit of emotions along with Ronan and Maddy.

SUMMARY

He could be the man to rescue her
Big city K-9 cop Ronan McGuire loves women, loves his dog, loves his job-but when old flame Maddy Morgan moves into his jurisdiction, he can't think about anyone else. Ronan knows she's way out of his league, but he's determined to help Maddy live life to the fullest.

In more ways than one
With tragedy in her past, Maddy has immersed herself in work and swiftly made a name for herself in the hot New York City real estate market. She's looking for safety, not love, but Ronan McGuire is as persistent as he is sexy, and his crooked smile is hard to resist. But all other concerns are wiped away when Maddy goes missing and Ronan and his bloodhound K-9 partner are tasked with finding her and bringing her home.
