I have followed the Rocky Mountain K9 series from the start and was eager to read Otto’s story. This installment differed from the first two as the focus was on the action and suspense arc while less attention was given to character development. Survive the Night tells the story of Alice/Sarah who is a victim of abuse at the hands of her brother. She was a prisoner in her own home and was not allowed any social interaction with her peers. She longed for the day when she could escape. That day was closer than she thought. Her opportunity for escape came from an unlikely source. Here was a chance for freedom and a life without fear. This opportunity opened new doors for her. She made new friends and for the first time in her life; she knew what it meant to be in love. However, the thing she thought she had escaped would threaten her newfound happiness. Will she stand and fight for her happiness or will give up and accept what she believes is her fate to save those she loves. The first ten percent of the story was heart pounding. There was a slight break in the action and suspense as the author focused on the developing relationship between Otto and Sarah. The action picked up again and what a ride it took me on. I have to admit though there were parts I found exaggerated. The scenes rivalled those one would expect to see in a movie. I enjoyed spending time with the characters. It was pleasure catching up with those from the previous books. Otto and Sarah were delightful together. Otto was such a sweetheart. A lover of animals, kindhearted, gentle but can be a beast when those he loved are threatened. He was just the person Sarah needed in her corner. I admired Sarah immensely. Despite her fears, her determination conquered. A taste freedom was enough to get her putting on her armour, push part her fears and claim the life she so desired. As stated earlier less attention was given to character development, which was disappointing. I hoped to learn more about Otto. The information provided was minimal at best and it left me wanting to learn more. The ending gives readers a brief view of what to expect in the next installment. I cannot wait to see what next Ms. Ruggle offers in regards to this series. Conclusion/Recommendation Fans of romantic suspense featuring a sweet romance, a sexy heart throb and intense action will enjoy Survive the Night
Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest Copy received through netgally in exchange for an honest review ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Cont. Romance Series : - third in the series, not really to be read as a stand alone. Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[Not really (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - No Rating - 3.5 stars ★Review★ I am really enjoying this series, but I think this was my least favourite so far. Which is a shame as Otto was the one I was most looking forward to. I felt like the relationship between Otto and Sarah was overshadowed, and quite frankly the suspense part of the action got a bit ott and ridiculous toward the end. It felt more like a filler book, moving the suspense part of the story along but at the expense of the hero and heroine. It was still enjoyable, but I felt like something was missing.
