Hennessey's Handler (Protect and Serve #4) by Pandora Pine

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Bar owner Hennessey McCoy finally has his life on track after being discharged from the U.S. Coast Guard under mysterious circumstances. He’s rebuilt his life piece by piece and Hennessey is the right place to open his heart to the right man. When his three-year-old niece goes missing at a party, Hennessey is paired with an annoyingly handsome search and rescue dog handler to help find the child.

Morrison Rowe, with the help of his search and rescue K9, Ahab, saves the day and finds the missing child, no thanks to Hennessey’s gruff and sarcastic manner. He can’t help thinking there’s more to Hennessey than sarcastic quips and a razor-sharp wit. Morrison sees a different, gentler side of the grumpy bar owner when he’s reunited with his niece.

As a way to say thank you, Hennessey invites Morrison to his bar, Bait for a free lunch. Never dreaming Morrison would take him up on the offer, Hennessey finds himself undeniably attracted to the dog handler. The pair begin spending time together, both encouraging the spark between them to grow into something more.

Things are heating up between Hennessey and Morrison when a man from Hennessey’s past comes to town, threatening to destroy everything he’s built from the ground up. Can Hennessey overcome the mistakes of his past or will this man steal his future as well?





My Rating - 5 Stars!


Hennessey's Handler is a great read by Pandora Pine. The fourth book in the Protect and Serve series, it's a wonderful addition to this family series. 

As always, the author combines a fast paced story with plenty of heart and humor. I love how Pandora writes children, with little Lola capturing my heart immediately. She's wonderfully precocious, innocent, and a total spitfire. She alone makes this worth the read. I adore her and her energy. Every single moment with her is truly wonderful. 

And then there's the dog. Omg. The dog. Tears! So many tears!

As for the romance, this is the tale of Hennessey and Morrison. I enjoy the way everything develops for these two. And I love the strength of their connection. 

This is a beautiful tale of found family, and the healing power of having a friend. It 
includes a stalker, which adds in some riveting suspense. 
 
Written in alternating first person pov, the author once again draws us fully into this tale. The men fully come alive and entertain us throughout this fast paced story.

No one writes a group of friends and family any better than Pandora. Every one of her series charms me throughout with the amount of banter, humor, and love between all involved. With this series, Hennessey's family is explored throughout and one can't help but to wish they were part of this amazing family. 

Hennessey's Handler is a fantastic addition to the Protect and Serve series. This romance is sweet, tender, and full of heart. It's another perfect example of why every Pandora Pine book is a must read for me.
