About this listen

It'll take more than his battle-hardened instincts to defend her....

CIA linguist Sabrin Harris's plans for a relaxing vacation went up in smoke when 26 hostages disappeared just north of her grandmother's house in Slovakia. Now, she's been called into action. Her mission is fairly simple. Not allowing herself to be distracted by the hot-as-sin ex-Australian Commando who's sent in to help and defend her will be infinitely more difficult.

Iniquus Security operative Ryder Kelly remembers Sabrin as the beautiful woman his dog picked out of the crowd at a tactical K9 competition. When they're assigned to work together, Ryder soon realizes he could fall for her just as easily as his dog Voodoo did. So, all he has to do now is keep Sabrin alive long enough to get to their happily ever after. Easy, right?

Their timing is all wrong. Romance was never part of the plan. But with enemies closing in, the fragile bond Sabrin and Ryder have formed might be all that allows them to save the day - and each other.

Contains mature themes.

Catches you right away.

The story starts with a lot of interest. Although at sometimes the readers voice became monotone.

Great story!

I enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. I enjoyed watching Sabrin and Ryder come together for this mission and figure things out. They get thrown together with pretty much no warning before they are in public scrutiny acting their part on a mission to rescue 26 hostages. Both had other plans and things going on when they got pulled in for the assignment and neither knew each other previously. Voodoo, Ryder's K-9 partner, immediately liked and was drawn to Sabrin and treated her like part of his pack. The story was intriguing with the people following them and trying to figure out if it was separate or part of their mission. The story was entertaining and had plenty going on. I enjoyed it and hope there are more Cerberus K-9 Alpha team stories coming or at least getting to see them again in other Iniquus stories.
The narrator did a great job with the accents and the characters throughout the story as well as adding in that emotion/action through the voice.

Took a minute

I enjoyed the story, it was a lot of crime drama discussion and a whole lot of mythology. It wasn’t a bad listen. It just wasn’t fast paced, nor was there a lot of romance. I did enjoy learning about Voodoo, the K9 though.

Sabrin & Ryder have some serious Voodoo 🤭🤭🤭

Huge improvement over book 1 in this series, much better flow. Although Sabrin & Ryder have tactical trust issues, they work well together with letting secrets and mission objectives bog them down.
Once again Voodoo is a force of nature, having personally worked with animals in a more therapeutic environment, love seeing people trust their canines instincts

Wonderful characters, story, performance!

This is the 3rd book in the Cerberus Tactical K9 series. It is Ryder, Sabrin, and Voodoo's story. I love the characters, their romance, and their friendships. There is lots of intrigue and action. I love the K9s and their strength, loyalty, instinct, and intelligence. The dialogue is great and I always learn something from Fiona Quinn's books, whether it is something about nature or another culture or training dogs. I love, love, love Rupert Channing's performance of this book. All around entertaining, enjoyable book and performance.

Bana"what a crappie ending "

Had a good story going. Even with the over use of Danish mythology. thought I was lessening to lecture at times. Got way to deep into the mythology aspect. Felt like the author was showing off their knowledge mythology. The ending was a major let down. They find them, they get what they needed, and nothing. Not even a good cliffhanger. If that what was intended

Great book and mystery to solve

Loved this book series and the different readers that match the main character in the book. Looking for more from this author now, I really enjoy the story lines!

bleh story, great narration

As this series has gone on, the story/character development has dropped. As readers/listeners, we had to make it through a lot of technical jargon in the first book but the story was worth it. The possibilities with the characters introduced are amazing, but it feels like the author is checked out of the development process more and more each book. Book 2 was the pinnacle. Book 3 was short, but not sweet. So much more could have been done. It was uninspired.
