"Vivid and charming."â??CHARLAINE HARRIS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series

In the remote Rocky Mountains, lives depend on the Search & Rescue brotherhood. But in a place this far off the map, trust is hard to come by and secrets can be murder...

Ice rescue diver Derek Warner never meant to be a hero. But when two little girls go missing, he's the first in line to bring them homeâ??even if that means scouring the wilderness with the woman he once loved and lost, Artemis Rey.

Artemis has never stopped wanting Derek. Now, racing to find the girls before it's too late, minutes turn to hours. Night falls. Old flames rekindle. And a danger grows in the darkest wilderness that may be more than even the Search and Rescue brotherhood can hope to face...

On His Watch is the pulse-pounding prequel to the riveting Search & Rescue series by Katie Ruggle.

Derek made the mistake of putting the goat that he hoped would become their team mascot in the front of Callum's truck, so when he ate the seats, Callum decides to punish Derek by making him do a presentation to a group of 3rd and 4th graders. Derek has no idea how he will make this presentation, especially when he sees Artie, his former flame, disciplining one of the students in her class. While Derek is showing his equipment to the class, two of the girls dare one of the boys to walk out on the icy pond. When he accepts the challenge, Derek's presentation becomes more hands on than he would have liked.

On His Watch is a novella in the Search and Rescue series. Rather than creating a short story to introduce the characters, there is so much is crammed into just over 100 pages that it is difficult to figure out where this story is supposed to go. There are so many story lines in this book, that none of them are developed or satisfying. I've been looking forward to reading this series, so I'm hoping that the rest of the books are better than this one. Overall, On His Watch is a missed opportunity and a disappointment. ( )

REVIEW: This is the 100-page, short prequel to the excellent Search & Rescue series.

Novella that kicks off a series based in Colorado that deal with all the facets of Search and Rescue - from the divers, to the firemen and law enforcement.

We start out with the Ice rescue team giving a presentation to a group of elementary school kids when one on a dare goes out on the ice and falls through and two others get lost in the mountains as a winter storm is approaching.

Along with the rescues we also get the a second chance romance between one of the rescue team and one of the teachers.

First time reading this author and I enjoyed the story and moving on to the next in the series.

This is a quick prequel to Katie Ruggle's Search and Rescue series set in the Rocky Mountains. In this second chance romance, we are introduced to the team leader (briefly) and a couple members of the search and rescue team.

It appears Artemis and Derek were teenage sweethearts, young love at its best. But Derek doesn't have the best home life and breaks it off with Artemis so that she can find someone better. Now Derek has broken away from his criminal father, has his own business and volunteers as a search and rescue diver. When he and Artemis must work together to find her missing students, they reconnect quickly and without any drama. Indeed, they seem to pick up almost where they left off.

While this was a decent story and I enjoyed it... it was really too short for me to form any kind of connection with the characters. I wish the time spent alluding to the arsonist were instead used to develop the characters and draw us into the relationship. I also like a little more action and danger in my romantic suspense stories... but I think we can look forward to that in future installments, perhaps with all the hints about the arsonist.

This book was still free as of the date of posting. 3 stars / 2 flames.

This novella introduces the search and rescue crew and sets up the next 4 novels about the characters. It also features the rekindled romance between Derek and Artemis. Derek is a diver and Artemis is a teacher. They reconnect when Derek needs to give a presentation to third and 4th graders that Artie teaches. The presentation ends up being a rescue when one of the kids falls through the ice. And then, two other young kids who feel guilty that they encouraged the boy to go out on the ice, run away and get lost in the woods just as a blizzard is starting. Derek and Artie and teamed up to find the girls and have issues of their own as they discover an old forestry cabin that might have been used by an arsonist before they find the girls just as they are being stalked by a mountain lion.
