Series: Stryker Force, #3
Format: Kindle e-book 

Book #137 of 2024: New-to-me author. 

I didn't read the first two in the series yet. I wanted to read this one first because I enjoy Christmas books in December. I'll get to those two another time. I don't care for the title of the book. It doesn't seem to fit with the others to me. 

I enjoyed the character of Tina as well as Milo. The camaraderie of the Stryker Force is special. They are a family of sorts. The novella keeps you guessing about who the bad person is and what their motive is. 

The romance gets off to a rather unconventional start but they both find ways to break through the heartache of the past. Scout the search dog is a terrific added bonus.
