My thoughts: Not to be a book snob but I usually tend to shy away from anything that is published under the Harlequin imprint. I tend to not like the ever-present formula of guy and gal meet, have strong disliking of each other, something happens, they fall in love. However, Dana Mentink has totally changed my mind. Her books published under Love Inspired Suspense don’t follow that formula and are ones I just can’t put down.
Act of Valor is the second book in a series from different authors. Not having read the first book I had no problem picking this book up and being immediately pulled into the story. I found the two main human characters likable and Eddie, the canine character, was full of charm and humor. He added some much needed comic relief to a story that was fast-paced and intense. With the author’s writing, I felt like I was part of the action on the streets of New York City!
I definitely recommend this book. It’s a quick and easy read and a great way to spend an afternoon or evening. I didn’t intend to read this book as quickly as I did but once I started it I just couldn’t put it down!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
