Product Description
To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life — a quaint house on an island off Seattle’s coast, a thriving dog-training school, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search and rescue. Not to mention her three intensely loyal Labs. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare.

Several years ago, she was the only survivor of a serial killer — a madman who stalked and abducted young women, strangled them, and left them buried with a red scarf on their bodies. As authorities were closing in on the Red Scarf Killer, he shot and killed Fiona’s cop fiancé and his K-9 partner.

On Orcas Island, Fiona has found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. Yet all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. He’s the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Jaws has eaten through Simon’s house, and he’s at his wit’s end.
To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can’t handle. Simon is another matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he’s a rugged and intensely private artist, known for creating exquisite furniture. Simon never wanted a puppy, and he most definitely doesn’t want a woman. Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. But tell that to the laws of attraction.

As Fiona embarks on training Jaws and as Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past tears back into Fiona’s life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands. . . .

Romance, suspense and dogs too! September 6, 2010
A. M. Saulter (Raleigh/Durham, NC)
I read this on my Kindle, and it was the first Nora Roberts book I've experienced. I enjoyed it very much! What drew me to the story was the fact that it was a modern romance and that the story included dogs. I am an animal lover, what can I say? It took a little bit for the story to develop, but once it unfolded I had a hard time putting it down. Taking place in the San Juan Islands of Washington state, Fiona is haunted by the memory of a killer that nearly took her life, eight years prior. The serial killer did kill her fiance as punishment for escaping him. She immerses herself in her work with dog training and Search & Rescue. Now, eight years have passed and a copy cat killer is again stalking and killing young co-eds, with the exact same pattern. Meanwhile, a new guy in town with an overly rambunctious puppy is needing her help to get control of the bundle of energy. What ensues is the growing attraction between opposite personality types, and the replacement killer coming to make sure the "one that got away" won't get away again. I would love to see more stories about the lives of Fiona's friends, on Orcas Island.

Disappointing... September 6, 2010
T. Witthaus
I found it really telling that it took me so long to finish this book. With a really engrossing book (action, characters, descriptions, research, etc) I can't put it down, and if I have to, I run back to it when I have a free moment. Not so with this book...it took me weeks to finish because it just didn't hold my attention.

Other reviewers found the dog sections overdone. I actually enjoyed that, but I am a dog person. I didn't like Simon and found it hard to believe Fiona would, being the woman she is. He's bossy and irritating, and spends the book telling her he didn't want to fall in love with her. Okay, then, well DON'T! is what I'd say. I actually liked her, Syl, the vet, and the search team descriptions, but their romance just didn't ring true.

There's this big buildup to the ending, and instead of an explosive ending with this killer, all we got was a weak firecracker going off. Serious letdown.

I've been reading Nora for years, and hands down have always loved her stories. This one felt phoned in, and I'm very disappointed.

Not her best September 6, 2010
Krista Loertscher (Utah)
I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I love Nora, and really appreciate her stories that have an actual story line and not just 2 people meet, fall in love... This book has a great storyline. The problem I found is that it was awkward. Some of the things the characters say just didn't make sense. I don't know if it was a new style of writing, or if it just wasn't edited well, but it was confusing. I'd have to stop and read the sentence a few times before I figured out what they were talking about. The story moved slowly, and while I found the dog training and rescue scenes interesting, there were too many of them. A good Nora read, but not totally memorable.

Bad Seller September 5, 2010
quiltingbee (NC)
I never received this order from this seller and would not recommend dealing with them. They never answered my e-mails and never shipped the order. Amazon had to credit my account themselves. Do not deal with this seller.

A PAGE TURNER! September 2, 2010
JULSIE (Woodbine, MD)
The Search is a strong romantic suspense. It was a good serial murder read but had a lot of places to laugh also. Fiona Bristow is strong, smart and determined, but she's also warm, lovable, and likeable. Years ago, Fiona Bristow had the perfect life, a great fiance, an upcoming wedding, a loving family. Then the Red Scarf Killer entered her world. She was his only survivor. Her fiance and his police K-9 partner were dead. To help recover from the terrifying ordeal, Fiona moves to Orcas Island and starts a canine obedience and search and rescue training school. Since then, she's managed to find peace and be content with her life, until.....

Other good ones are FLY AWAY HOME, EXPLOSION IN PARIS, COLD ROCK RIVER, LET'S TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME.
