About this ebook
A canine Search and Rescue volunteer fights danger and finds love in the Pacific Northwest wilderness in this riveting #1 New York Times bestseller from Nora Roberts.
To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life—a quaint house on an island off Seattle’s coast, a thriving dog-training school and a challenging volunteer job performing Canine Search and Rescue. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare: an encounter with the Red Scarf Killer, who shot and killed Fiona’s cop fiancé and his K-9 partner.
On Orcas Island, Fiona has found the peace and solitude necessary to rebuild her life with her three loyal Labs. But all that changes on the day intensely private wood artist Simon Doyle barrels up her drive with an out-of-control puppy, desperate for her help.
As Fiona embarks on training Jaws, and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona’s life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands...

it's a typical nora roberts love story, but she makes it so much more than sex, it's dogs, and training, and a beautiful part of the country. way to go, thumbs up.

It was nice, though the idea of Fiona and Simon being in love with wach other was quite unrealistic. I knew the end would include something like the ML saving the FL, and knowing it all along made it a bit boring.

The Search is a perennial favorite of mine and one of the first books I read by Nora Roberts. The one who got away theme has to do with the fixation of a serial killer, brought down by his last intended victim, a survivor in every sense of the word. I love the crackling, simmering, sensual chemistry between Fiona and Simon, the rapport, respect, devotion of her 3 wonderful labs Newman, Peck, and Bogart, and Simon's grudging affection for his lovable mutt, Jaws.
