As a participant in Flyby Productions, I get opportunities to preview cool products, including books. This time, I got to read the Texas K-9 Unit Series Books 1-3: Tracking Justice and Detection Mission and Guard Duty. I only needed to read one book, but I couldn’t stop. 😉

Disclosure (in accordance with the FTC’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”): Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway. Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.

The first book, Tracking Justice (Texas K-9 Unit Book 1), by Shirlee McCoy, drew me in with the story and the writing. It was really intense, sweet and realistic all in one. I was super impressed, and because I loved it so much, I had to finish the whole series.

The second, Detection Mission (Texas K-9 Unit Book 2), was a bit disappointing, because the writing style was very different than the first, and there were lots of simple grammar and punctuation mistakes. A run-through with a good editor should clean it up quickly. I did like the story though – I think I liked the relationship in this one the best.

The third, Guard Duty (Texas K-9 Unit Book 3), had less errors in it, but had a few more unrealistic situations than the other two. It was still a good story though. I really like Valerie’s character, and see lots of opportunities to delve further into her family’s relationship.

Overall, I think the series was great. Romance, adventure/mystery/suspense and adorable dogs, too! I loved that it was clean with no scenes I had to skip.

I hope I get to read the other books in the series soon. 🙂

JennAbout Jenn: I’m a Christian wife to an amazing man (since 1998) and a stay-at-home-teaching mom to four special & incredible boys (born in 2004, 2005, 2007, & 2009). I’m messy and cluttered, but working on that (really, I am!). I’m a discouraged perfectionist and a classic procrastinator who probably has both ADD & Autism, so I tend to jump from topic to topic (and activity to activity) without notice. My Love Languages are Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. I’m an INFP who enjoys friends but loves to be alone. I love getting and giving hugs, and encouragement is a Spiritual gift of mine that can too-easily be turned into the weapon of discouragement, if I’m not careful. I enjoy writing, singing, words, drawing, photography, digital creations, and reading. Oh, and pizza, tacos, and steak. Now I’m hungry. That reminds me; I eat gluten free and try to eat organic and avoid white sugar and GMOs as much as possible.  I’ve very recently returned to the workforce (after 22 years!) as a teacher in a Christian childcare because I love Jesus and love little ones! I love it!

    Five Ways to Be Your Child’s Cheerleader {Imperfect Moms Day 39}

    ByMelanie Pickett

    Almost daily it’s likely you pack lunches. You wash your children’s clothes. You do their dishes. You probably even clean up after them, putting away toys and books, making their beds, and picking up their towels off the bathroom floor. These are all wonderful and motherly ways we show our family we love them. We…

    well today is another gorgeous day here in indy. the sun is shining, the birds are flocking around grandpa’s new birdfeeder, the breeze is blowing and the garden is growing! i found some perfectly ripened tomatoes! yum!

    thanks Lord for another lovely day.

    well, the state fair happens soon, and if we don’t go it will be the first we’ve missed in years. but our vacation is the 19th – 25th, so we need every spare dollar we have. we’ll see, we’ll see…i always especially hate to miss Christian music day at the fair…

    well, i gave zhou the drawing of mary for her birthday and she loved it. she said it’s the best gift she’s ever gotten *U* – this makes me happy, and also more curious about whether i should sell drawings. it would be fun, and pretty easy. i just need to see if people are interested in it.

    sometimes you take for granted all that God has given you. at least i do sometimes. i get caught up in my wants and desires – like having a baby, having a house…and i lose track of all the blessings i have. i know i’m going to heaven when i die, i have a wonderful loving husband, who i love so much and cannot believe i have sometimes, i have a place to live, very cost-effective! i have a loving family that i love a lot, a wonderful loving little puppy who thinks he’s my firstborn child lol, a great, loving church family that i appreciate more and more. God’s given me much to be thankful for. i want to break out in song of one of my favorite songs ‘how could i ask for more’ by cindy morgan. i think i will share the words with you while they are in my heart.

    There’s nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon, waking to the sun light, being cradled by the moon. Catching fireflies at night, building castles in the sand, kissing Momma’s face goodnight and holding Daddy’s hand.

    Thank You Lord….. How Could I Ask For More?

    Running barefoot through the grass, a little hide and go seek. Being so in love that you can hardly eat. Dancing in the dark when there’s no one else around. Being bundled ‘neath the covers, watching snow fall to the ground.

    Thank You Lord….. How Could I Ask For More?

    So many things I thought would bring me happiness, some dreams that are reality today.
    Such an irony the things that mean the most to me are the memories that I’ve made along the way.

    If there’s anything I’ve learned from this journey I’m on:
    The simple truth will keep you going, simple love will keep you strong.

    There are questions without answers, and flames that never die.
    And heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise.
    So…… Thank You Lord – How could I Ask For More?

    how can we ask for more!?

    i think i’m going to make that my life’s themesong. and my site’s themesong. i have always loved it and felt it deeply, but now more than ever. i still long to be a mama, to hold my precious child in my arms. but i think what i need to do is be thankful for what i have, and leave it up to God. wow. so simple to say, but can i do it? pray for me.

    God bless you.
