Two years after his brother’s murder in jail, Department of Homeland Security K-9 Officer Kade Sampson is still haunted by guilt. No man should ever have to arrest his own brother, even if he is laundering money for a drug cartel. Fortunately, Laia Velez—his brother’s gorgeous widow—never learned the truth about Kade’s involvement. But when she asks him for help, he knows that trouble with the cartel is far from over…
Kade is the last person Laia wants to call. But between her house being thoroughly trashed and the uneasy sense that she and her young daughter are being watched, Laia isn’t taking any chances. The cartel wants something from her. And Kade and his K-9 partner, Smoke, are her only chance to survive whatever fresh hell is coming their way…
Now Laia and Kade are trying to stay one step ahead in a game that’s growing more deadly by the minute. But what the cartel wants, the cartel gets. And Kade is running out of time to save the woman he loves from the same fate that killed his brother…

What I thought about Honor 'N' Duty
The story begins with a fateful "trapped-in-an-elavator" scene where Kade Sampson happens to meet a woman named Laia who really grabs his heart. Only her then finds out she is his brother's fiance. Whoa. That puts the breaks on that relationship but when Kade's brother is killed in prison, and Laia needs help, he must cross the forbidden bro-code zone and spend time with the woman he really wants.
The Cartel part of this story is standard organized crime stuff -- they want something they think Laia has, and she is in danger. Kade is ready to step in with assistance from his other agent friends and K-9's.
What I love most about this series are the K-9's. Kade's K-9 partner Smoke is just fun to read about as are the rest of the K-9's and there are plenty of Kade's friends in this story, which absolutely made this an entertaining reading experience for this reader. Love the dogs!
As for Kade and Laia's story, it's standard romance and there's not many surprises, although Kade does really put himself out there. There's good action in the second half and an interesting cast of supporting characters. I'm hoping Jamie gets a story here too, he was an interesting and very secretive character.
So overall, an entertaining reading experience.
