Wow!!! This is a fast moving book that I absolutely loved! Matt is a K9 cop working at the CIA, where Trista is an analyst. They barely know each other, but, before long, Matt finds himself fighting to protect her and keep her safe - which would be much easier if he knew who he was protecting her from or why she needed protection.

The sparks flying from Matt and Trista were electric and I could practically feel the sizzle in my kindle. I loved them together and especially loved how they helped each other face their personal demons. Add in Sheba, the K9, and you've got all the elements for a great story. I particularly enjoyed learning more about police K9's and their training. I thought I knew all about them (my son is LEO training one), and the author managed to teach me even more about them in an engaging way.

If you enjoy romantic suspense, you will love this book. While this is the first book I've read by this author, it won't be the last as I've added her to my must read authors' list. I'm looking forward to future books in this series.

I loved this K-9 story. Plus getting to meet some of the guys that might be lead charters in future books is a plus.
Matt is super protective of Trista, even when he doesn't think he can have a life with her. He stops at nothing to keep her safe. Lock 'N' Load, is full of a lot of suspense and kept me guessing.

Matt goes all alpha when it comes to his woman's safety, “negative.” Matt shook his head, also knowing she wouldn’t like what he said next. “I don’t want you setting foot off this property.” There are times Trista can't wait and boy does she get an eye full, "he flung open the shower door to see Trista standing in his bathroom, chest heaving, her eyes bright with excitement. “Matt, I—” Her gaze dipped to his chest, then lower as she took in his nakedness. When she swallowed, he knew what she was seeing. His rock-hard erection." Matt doesn't appreciate his woman showing affection to his dog before him, "Matt let out an impatient sound, and she looked up to see him watching both her and the dog with an impatient expression. “Are you two done yet?” I liked this book.
