Another McCoy finds romance when least expected.

I’ve been waiting for Hennessy’s story and I was not disappointed. His young precocious niece goes missing and Morrison arrives to help with his Search and Rescue K9 Ahab. So begins their romance, even if Hennessy didn’t make a great first impression, but the instant attraction wasn’t ignored and slowly progressed to much more.
Both of these likeable main characters have baggage that follows them. Morrison has issues with his father and Hennessy’s Coast Guard past comes back to haunt him. Even though events add stress to their burgeoning relationship, they successfully find their way to an HEA. Naturally the whole McCoy family are there to assist in whatever way they can.
This is an engaging and enjoyable read with some drama, minimal angst, medium heat, two adorable nieces and the healing power of a puppy.
