Carly Reese has given up her career as a supermodel to return to Fort Worth to open a boutique featuring hand made objects made by the women who got no credit for the fancy work they do on high fashion. She is prepping for her grand opening when she hears a dog in the empty story next door. While investigating she finds an unconscious man and a dog tied to a pillar. As she is trying to free the dog, a fire starts. Now it is up to Carly to save both the man and the dog.Noah Glover and his K-9 Harley are arson investigators but someone is trying to make it look like he is a suicidal arsonist. Without Carly's intervention, the real arsonist would have succeeded. But now Noah has to clear his name and save his reputation. Since the fire ruined her boutique, Carly also has an incentive to track down the real arsonist. The two of them are attracted but it isn't wise for a witness - Carly - to get involved with a suspect - Noah. Nonetheless, a romance begins. And the arsonist isn't willing to give up his plans to ruin Noah. Now that Carly is in the picture, he has another possible lever on Noah. This story was fast-paced and had some really chilling moments before Carly and Noah got to their "happily ever after."

Explosive Force by D.D. AyresK-9 Rescue #5Another K-9 romantic suspense story with great human and canine characters!Carly Harrington-Reese saves the life of Noah Glover and his K-9 fire/explosive sniffing partner, Harley. She then gets caught up in solving the mystery of who tried to kill Noah and Harley and just why anyone would want to. With an arsonist on their heels, an arson investigator being fed erroneous clues and Carly’s business to get ready to open there is little time for Carly and Noah to spend exploring their attraction for one another…but they did find some and when they did…oh my! I think one of my favorite parts of the book had to do with kisses and the variety of them that exist in the world – might even want to google to see if there are more ;) Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC. This is my honest review. 4 Stars
