Review

​Book two in Kate James’ K-9 Trilogy, When Love Matters Most, is an exciting contemporary, romance-thriller story that readers will love from page one.  This story focuses on a man, Rick Vasquez, whom became a drug trafficking police due to circumstances from his childhood, and his dogs.  Rick meets and falls in love with canine police section’s doctor, Madison Long.  This story deals with overcoming tragic pasts and dramatic instances that bring terror to Rick and his co-workers and friends, including Madison.  This engaging and entertaining story will delight readers, along with fun and easily-relatable characters.  I would recommend this story to readers that enjoy contemporary novels with a mix of romance and mystery thrown in.
