I really liked this book. I think it is one of best she has written in a while. While some people found it boring or too detailed when it came to the descriptions of the dog training/rescuing, I found them fascinating. The dogs make great secondary characters, and Jaws is really a scene stealer! I love all of the laugh-out-loud scenes (usually involving Jaws and Simon). I like Fiona and Simon as the lead characters, Simon especially. He makes a great (but reluctant) hero. There was not a lot of suspense/mystery elements in this book, and I don't think it needed more. The story works very well without them. It gives a real chance to see the development of Simon and Fiona's relationship, plus explore the world of search and rescue dogs. It's a great book for dog and animal lovers, and of course, for fans of Nora Roberts.
