Book Blurb: 

Dog trainer and handler, Jillian Lederman, is moving with her pack to Libby, Montana, a place where she has made friends and hopes to find a fresh start. It’s time. For years, she’s just been keeping her wounds fresh by staying in Missoula—where there were regular reminders of all she’s lost—while the rest of the world has continued to move forward. 

Perhaps the new house, the beautiful mountains, and a certain pair of clear, blue eyes hold the promise of new beginnings. 

Since changing careers years ago, former FBI agent Lucas Wolff has found a much better work-life balance as a member of High Mountain Trackers. Still able to serve his community, he has also been carving out a comfortable existence for himself and is not looking to make any changes to it anytime soon. Not even for a particular bold and ballsy redhead he’s been trying to avoid.

That turns out to be an impossible feat when a plane crash during a blizzard sets both of them on the trail of a young girl, all alone in the mountains. But it soon becomes evident they are not the only ones looking, and staying safe means sticking close together. 

BLP TEVIEW – Tracy

I’m loving this spin off series more and more as we meet these guys.

Jillian and Lucas had met previously in the last book and there’s was a definite attraction but when one of you has a painful past and the other doesn’t believe in love and lasting relationships, is there anywhere to go?!

This pair start off working together and become friends.
The attraction and chemistry never wanes but they both need a person to rely on and be there, though neither would admit it. They were exactly what each needed and I loved seeing their friendship progress to more.

As ever we caught up with other characters and familiar faces from earlier in the series. I adored Wolf’s mum. She was lovely and a little impish when it came to Lucas and Jillian anytime Jill was visiting with the dogs and Lucas was around.

You know by now to expect lots of intrigue, some secrets and twists and a ton of action in the story along with a sense of family and belonging and a big dose of heat and tension (of a few kinds) when it comes to the MCs in a Freya Barker book and High Intensity definitely lived up to its title!

Where this could be read as a standalone, you’d be missing out if you didn’t start at the beginning of the series.

Can’t wait for more in the series.
