Agent-in-Training: Faith in the Face of Crime (Classified K-9 Unit)

A nice, short (novella length) introduction/prequel to a new Love Inspired Suspense K-9 series of books by different authors. Only downside is that is is only available as a Kindle ebook. This is the first Ebook I have read (it sort of forced me into thinking about and actually finally buying a Kindle reader --- I really prefer a tactile reading method). It was a short cute story but I wish I had it hard-copy format. I share many of my purchased books with a long-distance friend who lives in the boonies in another state and doesn't get out much. I have, since this book, acquired and read the six other books in this series in paperback format and will be sending them off soon to her. She will , however not have this ebook unless she has better access to the internet than she used to and gets a reader or an app (that's a lot to do for just one novella - she isn't quite as crazy as I am). The back-story continuing throughout the books is complete but the 'Christmas get-together' has yet to be published as of this review.

I love this series, both the full length and the shorter novellas. The love inspired is a formulaic sub-genre of the romance category which is centered on prayer and God. However, the stories are well written and have strong characters that defy most stereotypes. This novella is a beautiful example of this with both the female protagonist and her dog battling (and winning) a case of PTSD. Having lived through a bombing, officer Zara and her dog, Radar, have spent a year training to return to duty. After a day of upper level training, Radar alerts while Zara is driving home. Trusting her dog, Zara stops and foils a burglary but must shoot one of the perps. Can Zara and Radar outsmart the perps partner? If long time friend, Dylan has any say in the matter, Zara will! But just how close a friend does Dylan wish to be?

At 60 pages in length, it's a great introduction to a new K-9 series! This is where it all starts and getting to know Zara & Dylan was a real treat. Who can resist Zara's four legged partner Radar? A bit gun shy due to a traumatic event, both Zara and Radar must get past the fear if they are to make the coveted FBI team. With the help of Dylan, an old time friend and tech guy on the team, the position seems close at hand. Of course there must be some outside conflict to add that spark of adventure to the story and long buried feelings of romance begin to surface. An exciting beginning! I can't wait for the rest of the full length stories in the Classified K-9 Unit books!

Wow, Zara and her K-9 partner Radar is heading home when Radar see something suspicious. Zara stop to take a look a bullets start flying. Dylan who was taken in my Zara's family when his parents were killed has been hiding his feelings for Zara for a decade, do she feel the same way. Time will tell if the survive. This story has house bombs, kidnapping, attempted murder and so much more. A great start to what looks to be a on the edge of the seat, cannot wait for the next book in the series.

I have read 3 of the 7 books in this series so far, and I am hooked. I have enjoyed each book, and look forward to reading the other books. This book had intense suspense. Zara, and Dylan were locked in a trunk together, and the car was pushed into a river. The action was good, and the romance between the two agents was sweet. I also loved Radar Zara’s K-9 partner. Excellent book.

Although Zara and Dylan's story is a prequel to the Classified K-9 series, it can be read out of order as I did. I loved reading the story of Zara and Dylan's romance as well as the continuing mystery of the series. Very glad these characters are part of the series. The author did a great job of making the characters real so you can relate to them. Great novella! Can't wait to read all the books in this series!

I just enjoy these K-9 stories! I have read all the ones following this one, but was drawn to really complete the coverage!

This was a cute story about the love two people have for each other and how they finally admit it during a crisis. They are part of an FBI K9 group and the story shows how valuable these dogs are and what they are capable of doing. It is a quick and enjoyable read. After reading this story I plan to read more of the series.

I love Terri Reed's writing. This book was enjoyable and the characters were lovable. The only problem was the length of the book, it was too short. It left me looking for more. Thankfully, I have the rest of the series to fill that void. Maybe leaving me looking for more was the plan.

If you're a fan of working dogs, the hero dogs who work with law enforcement to protect us, then you will absolutely love this book. In fact the whole series is great and it showcases how brave these dogs truly are. The romance is a pretty good thing too.

Disappointing! I paid full price for this ebook and was disappointed when it was such a SMALL book. I barely starting reading the book and it was finished. Yes it was a good story line but it was like you went to the movies and got all settled in to watch a 90 minute movie and then seeing it end in 15 minutes.

I’ve never read Christian romance before. It was okay, just a little cheesy/preachy in a couple of spots.

I love all of Terri's book, especially when they have dogs and romance in them. I thoroughly enjoy christian books, most of them encourage me to trust God through everything going on in my life!!!!!

If you love K9 stories and good Christian reading, this is an excellent choice. I loved this book and all the others in the Classified K9 Unit series.

Another great Classified K-9 series book!

It's a really good story. A good lead in to the K-9 series. The only thing is I wish the story was loner, but it ran its course. Terri Reed is a great writer! The stories are good and fast paced. Not a whole lot of violence. Great, short reading.

I really love these books and would love to read more in the future.

Story is exciting introduction to new series. The fast moving action made me finish before I could put it down! I recommend this book for any one that enjoys Christian suspense, but know you'll want to read the entire series!

I gave five stars---this was a great & thrilling beginning to this series---I enjoyed it very much-- although short it was still a preview of what is to come in this series!! Highly recommended for everyone!!

This novella is a great prequel to this series and a good introduction to many of the characters and their K-9 partners. With a strong plotline and realistic characters, the author has written an engaging novella and a strong beginning to a series that promises to be interesting, intriguing, eventful. Rating: 4.0

This is a sweet love story of two officers who grew up together and only now admit their love for each other. I love reading about K9 officers and their handlers. I knew this was a novella when I ordered it, but it was very, very short! The book ended at only 69% read. The next 31% was a preview for the next book in the series.

A nice book about an FBI agent and her dog. Could have had more about the 🐕 but it did have romance and suspense.

As with all of Terri 's books, I would like more! But I always look forward to the next book. And the next one, well, you get it. Ani animal stories are also a favorite so this was special.

It was a good book but left me thinking there should be more chapters. I felt like I was reading the prologue. I guess I should have read this book first.

It was ok

It was a good story but with only 60 pages, everything happened too quickly and ended up being unrealistic. All the characters needed more development as well.

I enjoyed reading reading the beginning book of the series and knowing how two of the characters fell in love

Only issue with this story is it's too short, can't wait to check out the longer stories in this series!

Love the story. Had a dog in it and a hero, a mystery in the old fashion way. Just clean, good, fun.

Action packed adventures that keep you guessing on the edge of your seat! Usually I can guess what will happen, but not this time.

I really liked this story and was really into it. It could have gone on a lot longer and I would have stayed with it. Love the characters, even the dog.

Another great page turner!!! Keeps your interest peaked and wanting more!!! I am making sure that I continue the series!!!

I enjoyed the series I have the last 2 to get yet.

Great book and great start to what looks like a really interesting series. Interesting characters, good plot, and uplifting but humorous dialog. Recommend the book and the author.

Enjoyed the agent for interaction. The love story was passionate but realistic. The characters were well developed but not overdone.

I love I liked the strong woman who displayed a strong faith in the Lord...I will read more of these short stories.

Enjoyed the book very much. I really love this author's books.

Great book. Excellent writing. looking forward to reading more of the series and the authors writing.

Lots of action,suspense and thrills.Fast paced and a really good story.Hold on to your seat,the hits keep on coming very quickly.

Probably OK for those who like big doses of preaching.

I love dog stories, this one included.

I love K-9 books and this intro into this new series was really good. Looking forward to the 1st one in the series

I enjoy the books but I feel they are overpriced

Excellent novel. Recommend

An experienced writer and one whose books I follow. Great kick-off to the series.

Loved the book. I like all of the book's in this series. Keep them coming I could read one a week.

This book was a great read, however I was disappointed it was so short. Looking forward to reading more from this series.

Great.

enjoy k nines

Have read all the Classified K-9 Unit series, love books about dogs, and these S&R guys are the best.

Great beginning for another K-9 series from Love Inspired!

Had not read before have the order in paperbacks and had to get this one in e-book was short but enjoy it

I love K-9 books, Terri Reed does an excellent job of writing books with K-9 themes. I am looking forward to reading this series.

i have read several of the k9 books and love them. if you like suspense and dogs you will love the books.

I like the different books that this author has written and this was a fun read

It was a good book but very very short and so not as exciting as the others.

another great k-9 book

Terri Reed produced another winner. I rate this 4- star because of the suspenseful action combined with clean warm romance.Of course adding a k-9 partner and so much background info. about it gives it extra appeal.

Relaxing, fun read. Enjoy reading her books.

Can't wait to read more

Excellent read!

I've really enjoyed this whole series.
