Book Description:
Devon Brady is a devoted veterinarian working in a makeshift hospital at an island search and rescue site. When Jude Marrok arrives with his wounded black lab Ned, she has no idea that she is about to be plunged into a whirlwind of terror, destruction, and unstoppable passion.

The last thing Devon needs is to be drawn into Marrok's high-stakes game. And while she feels increasingly drawn to him and his extraordinary dog, she doesn't trust him. Then the bullets start flying and she has nowhere else to run. The body counts gets higher while a mortal mystery swirls around a pack of gifted canines called the 'Dogs of Summer.

Is Jude her salvation or her damnation? Are the secrets he's protecting worth killing.or dying for? With lighting-fast pace, unforgettable characters, gut-wrenching action, and sizzling sensuality, Dark Summer is compelling new terrain for this master storyteller.

I have always enjoyed reading this author therefore this one did not let me down. Fast reading, easy to follow characters and nice story line. There are a couple of characters that you know you will see again in future books. Would suggest it to any Iris Johansen fan!

When I first started reading this one, I had to go back and check the copywright date because it felt like one of her previous books. I soon found it just started like one of her previous rescue dog novels. She brings in some of her previous characters, developes the characters of some new individuals and the story developed around a treat to four wonderful worker dogs. There is much suspence, many twists and a great love story as well. As usual, Iris Johansen hits the mark again and brings us a great fast paced mystery.

Adventure/mystery with a somewhat supernatural/mystical twist to it.

Really good book in line with her other mysteries.

A fast read. Plot is a little "Over the Top." The characters are "Bigger than life." But it was quite an enjoyable read. The Summer dogs added a good flavor to the story. Iris Johansen always seems to write different thrillers. Overall, I would recommend this book.

This is a completely different type of story written by Iris Johansen. It caught my eye because it was about 4 dogs, but the story was exciting and I couldn't put the book down. I loved it!
