So Dirk isn't his biological brother?

I hope Christie wakes up with her memory intact.

I never understood buying property you don't go to.

She doesn't remember, but she knows that she doesn't want the police involved?

He just announced that he plans to break the law, just like that?

I'm guessing she's an abused wife.

I want to hug Matt after hearing that story.

What's a kid doing waitressing?

Hey, Grumpy, calm down. You'll solve the cases when you solve them.

I'm getting diabetes just listening to everything she baked for Christmas.

How did she pay for the online classes?

Erm, Coop? You know her real name now. Surely you can find her mom.

Poor Ross.

Men could never give birth.

This is Book 1 in the Wounded Seal Trilogy. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved it! It’s full of everything you could ask for. Good looking men, murder (all right, almost murder), excitement, kidnapping and last but not lease, beautiful dogs being trained to help save our military! See it’s all there. Cooper meets up with a mystery lady at the lake when she’s brought to be murdered. He has one of his dogs with him and they manage to scare off the bad guys. We learn that she has amnesia and they begin to try to figure out who she is. He also is a PI with one of his brothers. They have a case that all ties in with the mystery lady. This is a very well written story that just floats along as it ties up all the loose ends. I can’t wait to read the books on his other brothers. I voluntarily reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was hooked right from the beginning with a great opening scene and the mysterious appearance of the heroine, Lori. Of course it didn’t hurt that the hero, Cooper, was a handsome PI, a retired SEAL with a limp and lots of positive qualities (he’s good-hearted, kind, generous, and so on).
The writing style is good and I loved the balance between romance and suspense and the characterization. The instant attraction is finely drawn with both characters feeling perplexed by these unfamiliar emotions.
I liked the way the author depicted the amnesia process too, it seemed so realistic and heartfelt shown from the heroine’s perspective. As a reader I connected to the anguish, confusion and pain Lori felt due to her memory loss.
The depiction of the private investigator’s work is also rather realistic – lots of hard work and not always a check at the end of the job. And the seriousness and dedication of the dog training duties were memorable.
The hero, his brothers, and other side characters are also likeable and relatable.

This book was very well written with a good plot and believable characters.

To be featured on my blog in the near future. Excellent premise for this subgenre of book.
