Publisher's summary

Finding the future they deserve will mean leaving the past behind…

Navy SEAL Noah Alba is on extended leave after a terrible mistake resulted in the loss of his K-9 partner. He arrives in Asheville, North Carolina, hoping to get his head on straight before he returns overseas. When an old friend recruits him to train service dogs for veterans, he doesn't feel ready. Still, rambunctious rescue dog Lucky is awfully hard to resist—as is the drop-dead stunning bride Noah encounters while hiking.

When she finds out her fiancé is only marrying her to gain control of her family's brewery, Peyton Sutton's I do turns into a hard pass real quick. But Peyton's father and now-jilted ex are determined to force the match at any cost. Running away can only get her so far, until Noah—and his adorably fierce canine companion—step in as an unlikely protector.

Guarding a runaway bride in the close quarters of her downtown loft is no way to avoid a simmering attraction. But Peyton can't outrun her ex, and Noah can't outrun his past; they'll have to find a way to move forward together, or risk making another terrible mistake.

Noah and Peyton and dogs

This is Noah and Peyton's story along with K-9s and puppies. It is a character driven story and reveals their rocky pathway to happiness with some suspense along the way. The performance of the story is very good. It is an entertaining listen. I look forward to more in the series.

Good listen.

This story is a decent love story. Some parts were slow and only a few suspensions in it.

A heavenly story

There are many twists and turns. It is so heartwarming to watch/listen to a broken soldier to pass through the fires of hell to conquer PTSD with the help of a woman to love and a service dog.

good story line

I liked the different story line this series is a little different than most. however, the first 2 had crazy/ stalker/ violent exes, so needs a different story line there.

also, some of the transiting are confusion. probably clearer in the print version, but in the audio some scenes go from one to the other with barely a pause between words so its a little like whiplash.

but over all, I enjoyed the story.

Keeping Guard with K9 Brothers

I say the say here as I did for books 1&3 - if you are looking for K9 search and rescue type stories then these books are not for you. I enjoyed the story but it’s more about the Seals and the FMC and not so much to do with search and rescue using K9 assistance.

Dog references check, romance extra check, story also check and mystery too.

I enjoyed the characters but was getting a little tired of the main characters not being honest with each other. Narrator was good but near the end something changed…tine, accent, something was different,
