Deadly Connection (True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn #3) Reviews

4 stelle e mezza
Questa storia mi è piaciuta, ma speravo in una svolta per quanto riguarda il mistero che fa da trait d'union fra tutti i libri. Forse è un po' troppo presto... -
This is one of my favourite imprints from Harlequin - they're always enthralling and intriguing suspense filled reads with great characters and plenty of drama as well as a heartwarming romance - and this is a brilliant example of all that!
New DNA evidence from an unsolved murder scene twenty years ago implies that the perpetrator is related to US Marshal Emmett Gage. The victims were the parents of two people who have grown up to become members of the Brooklyn team, who have re-opened the cold case after a similar recent murder. The investigating officer is Belle Montera but her K-9 partner is sedated and she is almost killed whilst going to meet Emmett. This is the first of a series of attacks on Belle. Is it related to that old case or is someone else targeting her? Emmett and Belle team up to help protect her and in an attempt to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice but will they be the next victims instead?
This really is an action packed crime thriller with so many twists and turns to keep you guessing. It involves family drama, fantastic canine heroes and a great team of officers in this fascinating read. I'm really enjoying learning more about K-9 officers and this is a brilliant read and great addition to this entertaining read. I have no hesitation in highly recommending it!
I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it and thoroughly enjoying doing so! -
A cold case murder converges with a more recent murder, Belle Montera and her K-9 partner, Justice, join forces with US Marshal Emmett Gage to track down the killer.
A fast-paced, engaging read, and I loved that the story operates in the same world as previous books in the series, so familiar faces do pop up.
Belle is a strong, disciplined woman, with a wonderful, close knit family. I loved how supportive they are, as well as welcoming. I admired her faith and quick thinking. I also loved learning about the training of the K-9's, which showed great researching.
Emmett is a very honorable man, he takes his responsibilities seriously. He fits right in with Belle's teammates, and I liked his respect for them and they work that they do.
Overall, a entertaining read, with fantastic human and canine characters that you can root for all the way through. Strong character and faith come together, in this high stakes suspense. Highly enjoyable!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. -

True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn (Book #3) -
I am really enjoying this series, and this book was another awesome read.

"Deadly Connection" is a romantic suspense novel. It's the third book in a series, but each novel can be read as a stand alone. K-9 police officer Belle is attacked by someone claiming she ruined his life. Since she saw his face, it didn't take long for them to determine who the attacker was, but it was more difficult to track him down to arrest him. US Marshal Emmett saved her life in the initial attack, but Belle was able to hold her own in other attacks with the help of her dog partner. Because she's investigating Emmett's cousin, they worked together and both were endangered by the repeated attacks.
The suspense stayed high as attacks kept coming one after another. The characters reacted realistically to events and were likable. Belle and Emmett quickly came to admire the others character as well as their looks. Both were competent at their jobs. Emmett sometimes had trouble (in his mind) with letting Belle do her job even though he knew she was trained for it, partly because he cared for her. Since Belle recently got out of a controlling, manipulative relationship, she would only accept a relationship with someone who supported her and built her up. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting suspense.
I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. -
This is another suspenseful and intriguing book in this series. I liked the characters of Emmett and Belle. There was such a contrast between their family situations—Belle had many family members; Emmett had none, They both were dedicated to their law enforcement jobs, and were caring people who took their responsibilities seriously. The storyline moved quickly and the suspenseful twists and turns kept the book interesting. As always, I loved the police dogs and their part in the story. There’s still an on-going mystery in this series, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn (Book #3) -
My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Deadly Connection. This is book three in the continuity series True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn. I have really enjoyed this series and Lenore is one of my favorite authors so this book is a winner to start with. It is well written, full of action, and full of faith.
K-9 Officer Belle Montera and her partner, Justice, are on their way to question a US Marshall about his DNA. A match to a twenty year old cold case and recent murder. The team had done a thorough search of this marshal and have eliminated him as a suspect. Someone is following her. She hears the rush of air from a silencer and waits for the pain of a bullet but her partner is shot with a tranquilizer dart. Big hands grab her from behind. He turns her around and chokes her while threatening her. She fought for her life. The marshal arrived announcing himself as a U S Marshal. The attacker took off.
U S Marshall Emmett Gage DNA is a match to the DNA of a killer in a clod case. He is on his way to the meeting when he finds the officer being attacked. He stops the attacker but was unable to catch him. He goes back to the officer. He could probably tell her what she needs to know. Most of his family is gone, only one cousin could be the who they are looking for. He is the best at what he does, he hunts down and brings in dangerous fugitives from all over the country. He didn't think he'd be hunting his own kin. Can he figure out who is after the beautiful Belle? Can he protect her and her partner?
A powerful journey trying to find who is after her and find his cousin. Are they connected? God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. This is a trying time with one crisis after another but if you give your heart to Jesus then you give God the power to intercede in your life. -
I love K-9 stories, the connection between the handler and their partners are fascinating, and this True Blue Brooklyn series has proven to be a hit with me.
Belle Montera and Emmett Gage's meet was filled with adrenaline and danger setting the story into a high-speed track towards the constant peril brought by their jobs, and the sweet romance brought by their attraction to each other.
Emmett is in a tough spot when his family and job get twisted together in a negative light. I admired how he kept his cool, and how level-headed he was about the whole process.
Belle is part of a big, loving, supportive yet protective family. Her latest case and past personal life have brought the danger into their home and some of her family members seem to be involved in the mayhem.
This story is a sweet yet a bit wild ride. I loved how Emmett meshed so well with the family of Belle, I liked how sensible they both were with their attraction to each other. The spot they are on with their relatives involved is a hazardous one, yet they hold their professionalism and calm as long as it is possible.
Deadly Connection was a one-evening read with me, the momentum building up so that I needed to reach the end before I could put it down. It was entertaining, beguile, and satisfying, a solid read for Love Inspired Romantic Suspense readers!

Tense NYPD K-9 Thriller
This is the third in this series about the Brooklyn K-9 Unit, and this series is a spin-off of the original NYPD K-9 Unit series. Some of the stories and characters are shared in both series. This story features a German Shepherd that is attack trained and his lovely handler. She is working with a US Marshall on a cold case and they are fighting romantic feelings. In the meantime, someone is trying to kill her. It is tense with non-stop action and a touch of romance. I have enjoyed these books so much. They are clean, not graphic violence, with minimal blood, no gore, and no sex. -
I love reading continuity series that use service dogs, especially police K-9s. The abilities of these canines is just short of amazing. In "Deadly Connection," officer Bella Montera and her K-9 partner, Justice, are to question US Marshal Emmett Gage about his relative that has been discovered as a possible criminal from DNA evidence. They wind up meeting when Justice is hit with a tranquilizer dart, and Bella is being choked to death.

True Blue Brooklyn Continues
Worth's story in Brooklyn Book 2 continues with the story of the brother/sister who lost their patented to a brutal murder. The scene repeats when another grisly murder takes place in part 2. Belle and her canine partner are attacked in the beginning of Deadly Connection. The attacker is someone she put away in the past. Connections flow with the past cases. -
Deadly Connection, Book Three in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series is an easy read. I enjoyed the character of Officer Belle Montera, her big Hispanic family, and her dog, Justice. The plot stayed in tune with the overall series, and I was especially glad to see a missing dog rescued along with her puppies. Looking forward to reading more of this series.

Great story
I am loving this series though I hate waiting until the first of the month for the next book to come out! Obviously I read it as soon as it comes through. Now I’m biting my nails until July 1st to continue the story. -
I'm liking this series and I like this installment.
It's engrossing and entertaining, the characters are fleshed out and the mystery is solid.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine. -
Enjoying this Series
I'm enjoying tracking with these characters as the story unfolds. It was a great idea to have an over arcing theme to tie all the novels together while telling the stories of the individuals and their healing in finding someone to love. ❤ -
The 3rd book in the True Blue K-9 Unit/ Brooklyn was a good read as far as action goes and I was drawn in right away. The end kind of dragged on a bit but otherwise i enjoyed US Marshall Emmett Gage and Belle Montera’s story.

More of a romance than a thriller this is a true cozy. Pretty simplistic but I love the dog scenes! Not boring just not involving.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this arc
