The Secret Baby Rescue by Jo Grafford is book 10 of Disaster City Search and Rescue. This has an ex-marine who was inured and an ex movie actress met once and then met again at the search and rescue academy. Adding a missing baby to this mix just heightens the story. It has romance, relationships, mystery plus K-9 so what is not to love. Jo Grafford writes a flowing story with details as well as a few surprises. Her characters are like meeting your next door neighbors. Jo Grafford does not disappoint. She is becoming one of my go to authors. I love series with K-9 and this series is becoming a favorite. I received an ARC of this book.All opinions are my own.

A damaged war hero. A movie star who isn't taken seriously. What's not to love??!! Another fabulous book in this series! I enjoy seeing how these men and women get trained to search and rescue the most vulnerable and in this case, it's a baby. Hunt has been seriously injured in Afghanistan and has been in the hospital for months. He's finally coming home and to his shock, receives the Purple Heart. He doesn't like this one bit! But, during the parade, he meets Dallas, a famous movie star and she orchestrates a sizzling kiss for the audience. He doesn't think he'll see her again but he's wrong! However, he's able to secure a position as an instructor at the Disaster City Search and Rescue center which gives him a purpose. Who does he see as one of the recruits but Dallas! She gave up Hollywood and became a police officer! I loved the chemistry between Hunt and Dallas. They were a great couple and even followed the rules of no dating during the session! The rescue of the baby was great!

The Secret Baby Rescue is a little different story than the other Disaster City Rescue books I have read by Jo Grafford. This one is showing behind the scenes of the training that the men and women go through to become search and rescue K-9 handlers. And not just the men and women but how they train a dog to become a K-9 hero. This particular story is following purple heart recipient Hunt Ryker that was forced to leave the Marines due to his injuries and has became the newest instructor at Disaster City. Two of the Marines in his life were considered dead but never found. One was his brother-in-law. He is on a mission to find them which causes trouble for the safety of their families. Hunter also finds out that one of his students is none other than the actress Dallas Hill that shared the hot kiss with him on his welcome home parade float they rode. He has never forgot that kiss and neither has she, but must keep it secret and distance themselves to stay at Disaster City. All they have to do is keep the secret till she graduates in 20 days, if that is possible.

Loved Hunt and Dallas's story!! Hunt's a great guy, and Dallas is more than a pretty face. From the moment they meet, neither can forget the other. Hunt has to figure out where his life is going (he thinks) before he can even think about asking Dallas out. Dallas leaves her "glamorous" life behind to truly help people. When they meet again, they still aren't free to date, but boy can they flirt!! When they do finally get together, watch out!! <br /><br />I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.

Hunt is an ex-Marine who is determined to find his friend Marcus and bring him home. Dallas is an ex-movie star who has gone through training as a police officer who wants to become a search and rescue officer. They end up together at the Disaster City Search and Rescue Academy; he , as an instructor;and she, as a trainee. They have to hide their attraction for each other until after graduation. The night before graduation, there is an Amber alert and they go to help find a missing baby. Would they find the baby in time? It's a very exciting story

<strong>like a tv series</strong><br /><br />Good, clean, swoony and uncomplicated. <br />In the first book we learn about the ambush. Each book is one of the marines returning home. And all the emotions of bodies broken, some dear friends never to return, the mission incomplete, the feeling of being lost. looking forward to an overwhelming and uncertain future. <br />She nails it. The guilt, the anger, the grief and the uncertainty. <br />This is like a tv series where each book adds new characters and deepens the plot. Can’t wait for the next book.

Excellent characters! I was hooked from the beginning and crying joyful tears. I loved how the book started, it gave me goosebumps. It’s so fun to read about the intense training with the dogs and how close everyone becomes during this time. The search was a little of a mystery with action that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. A sweet clean romance that keeps you smiling!<br />Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

'I want to be your plan today, tomorrow, and the next day'<br /><br />This is my new favourite of the series! <br />So many great characters in this book, I loved Hunt and Dallas but also PoPo, Haliburton, Sanchez, Tracey...this book focused far more on the team of recruits in training and it gave a new perspective but also added to the entertainment, the different personalities and the atmosphere within the book. A fantastic read on Kindle Unlimited.

The Secret Baby Rescue is a clean, heartwarming romance. This well written book is a ton of fun but also had some serious undertones. The characters include Hunt, a wounded Marine discharged before he was ready, Dallas an ex-actress, police officer and now disaster trainee, and PoPo a killer cocker spaniel! Once again an instructor cannot date a trainee, but when a real Amber Alert is in progress, both Hunt and Dallas rise to the challenge. I love this amazing romance.
