What I love about this series is that it is a K9 unit. Okay, let me explain that so it's not a duh moment. I lot of books that have (to your understanding) animals in them (be it K9's or one of the main characters is a vet, etc) you almost never (if ever) see interactions with animals.
In this series, you see the K9's all the time. They are a constant character and companion to their respective policemen. You have Viggy (book 1), you have Lexi (book 2), Xena (book 3) and now Justice. Each and every one of them with a special ability that the others don't have.
After reading the last book I knew (at least I was hoping) that there was going to be another book in the series. I am sad to say I am not feeling that way now. I do think this is the last book in this series but I at the same time love that about it. I will not be dragged around by dozens of books that will with time make me hate this awesome series.
Kit is the new addition to the Monroe K9 unit and from the first day she arrives, she knows it is going to take a lot to have her fellow officers trust her. As days go by it gets more and more difficult to achieve this as her dog keeps tracking the bad guy to a familiar and loved place.
Her only bright spot it seems is the quirky, nerdy recluse that leaves on the fire watch tower and that has awesome gadgets. Although you don't get a lot of Wes at the beginning of the book I think it was a well-written book and that everything happened at the moment it should have. There is so much going on that you don't even notice it.

I also liked that all the books are connected by something other than the main characters. They are also connected by a secondary (almost phantom) character Mr. Espina(o?) and the bad guys are connected too (at least most of them).
I will highly, absolutely and lovingly recommend this series to any romance reader out there. It is truly worth your time.
